The world experienced a crisis when the Covid-19 virus spread like wildfire in December 2019. With its advent in India too, there has been an indefinite lockdown in the country. As a result, people are forbidden to go to work. While some may have government jobs, a majority of our population subsist on private or part-time jobs.

In this present scenario, the later sections of the society are suffering from unemployment and lack of money. However, the world has coped with working from home and there are plenty of jobs available online. There is no need to step out of your house to earn money. There is no need of physical presence to have a job.

There are many best work from home jobs you can do and earn money online in India while you relax at home:-

3) Audiobook Narrator

Now that audiobooks have become popular, companies require Audiobook narrators. Amazon and other organisations pay a sufficient amount to their audiobook narrators.

To achieve these requirements, you must practice reading daily. With a little effort, you can become a great narrator.

5) Blogging

If you love traveling or cooking or any exciting activity, blogging can help you earn money. All you need is a blog site where you can share your experiences.

6)Making masks

In the time of Coronavirus, masks have become an indispensable part of our day to day lives. Masks are sure to stay several years after the end of this pandemic.

Since there is a high demand in the market, you can easily sell a bulk of masks in a day. You can set a price of your own choice and get this mini start-up running.

7)Online Surveys

It is well known by now that filling up surveys can earn you money. Google Rewards, Opinion Survey are some of the few sites that provide money for filling up surveys.
