Late Night & Overnight Work from Home Jobs

Overnight work from home jobs are more common than you may think. There are a number of companies that offer around-the-clock support to their customers. And 24/7 customer service means plenty of opportunity for remote job seekers to take on a non-traditional work schedule.

Plus, the traditional nine-to-five job isn’t necessarily the standard anymore. With more and more people freelancing, it’s not uncommon to see someone piece together a living with two, three, four, or more gigs going on at a time.

So, whether you’re looking to supplement your income or are simply a night owl by nature, check out these late night and overnight work from home jobs.

Apple

Fancy Hands

Fancy Hands is a crowdsourced virtual assistant company. They have clients all over the world sending in tasks from, you guessed it, all hours of the day!

This means you can login at 3:00 a.m. and find tasks waiting to be claimed. Since Fancy Hands works on a first-come-first-serve basis, you’ll never know what jobs you’ll come across. 

From the Fancy Hand’s founder:

You can define your own hours. Ideally, I want people around 24 hours a day, so if you’ve got time at 4am, great! If you want to work 9-5, perfect!

I worked for Fancy Hands for about six months. Being able to work whenever was definitely a huge draw for me at the time.

You are paid $2 to $7 on average for each task you complete. While that may not sound like a lot, it works out to a pretty decent hourly rate since one task shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes. Payments are made every two weeks through Dwolla.

Search Engine Evaluator

Search engine evaluation offers many overnight work from home jobs! As a search engine evaluator you help improve search engines, like Google and Bing, by rating the relevancy of search results compared to a search term.

For example, if someone Googles “Apple Products” they probably want a list of products manufactured by Apple and not a list of products that are made from apples we eat. You will be judging a lot of search terms, like this, using your knowledge of current events and pop culture.

There are several well-known and reputable companies that frequently hire search engine evaluators. Most of the time these positions are super flexible and let you work whenever you can (as long as you hit a certain number of hours a week).

iSoftstone, Appen, Leapforce, and Lionbridge are all great options when you want  the flexibility to work from home overnight (or whenever you want!).

American Express

American Express offers late night work from home jobs through their Virtual Customer Care position. In this role, you’ll help cardholders with account questions. The pay is known to be right around the $16.00/hour mark. Plus, American Express offers some pretty great benefits to their employees and is considered a great place to work (day or night!):

If you are passionate about providing superior service to small business customers, driving results and working for a world-class global brand, then the American Express Home Based Servicing (HBS) Customer Care Professional position may be an ideal fit for you. Join a global brand recognized as a Top 100 Remote Work Company (FlexJobs) and an 8x Customer Service Award Winner (JD Powers).

As a Virtual Customer Care Rep, you can work as late as 1:00 a.m., any day of the week.

This opportunity is available to candidates in almost all states (excluding California, Alaska, and Hawaii).

Transcription

There are a lot of companies that hire transcriptionists to work remotely. Often, these opportunities are flexible enough to allow you to work whenever you want as long as you don’t miss any deadlines.

If you think you need a ton of experience to be a transcriptionist — think again! Many people get started in the industry with absolutely zero experience. In fact, there are a number of companies open to contracting with complete beginners.

For those interested in making a career out of transcribing, I suggest visiting Transcribe Anywhere for advice. They have plenty of helpful information including a free mini ecourse that lets you explore a career in transcription (before getting started!).

REV.com

If you ever wondered who types out captions for all the videos out there, well, it could be you. Although Rev also offers transcription and translation projects, they almost always look for captioners to join their team. From their hiring page:

Work flexible hours. Work as much or as little as you want, whenever you want. Choose freely. Choose which projects you want to work on. We have a wide variety available.

If you’re looking for overnight work from home jobs, Rev may be a good place to start! You will have to caption three practice videos before being offered a paid contract. Once you get going, there is almost always work available. In fact, you can earn as much as $1500 captioning videos whenever and wherever you’d like.

Freelancing

One of the easiest ways to get started is by joining Upwork. When you take the time to set up your profile and send thoughtful proposals to clients, you can start landing gigs in a matter of days.
