What are genuine work from home jobs UK?
Before we get into our top 4 of genuine work from home jobs UK, it’s important to note how we define it. We consider a work from home job to be work that can potentially earn you enough money to pay the bills with and can be done from a remote location (i.e. a cafe, at the park, from home, or from across the world).
There are several types of jobs that enable you to work remotely, but quite often those kinds of jobs require a specific skill or degree. For example, you could be a regional sales manager that travels the world, without ever being at the office of the company. However, this would require you to have sales skills. In this article, we’ll cover work from home jobs that potentially anyone could start.
Now that we’ve defined a work from home job, here’s our top 4 list!

3. Start a blog
‘Really, start a blog?’ – Yes, having a popular blog can earn you quite some income. The great thing about it is that when you’ve set up your blog, its monetization methods and you are generating traffic, you will have a passive income.
There are several ways to earn with a blog. In this article, we’ll cover 2 main ways of monetization.
a. Advertisements
If you generate traffic with the articles you publish on your blog, you can monetize that traffic with ads. One of the most popular network for placing ads is Google Adsense.
b. Affiliate links
With affiliate links, you get a commission for every sale that is made through someone that is directed to the product/service by you. Think of directing someone to a specific dog toy on Amazon. If you use the Affiliate link of Amazon in your blog, Amazon will track if the sale was made by someone that came through you and will give you a commission of the sale.
An easy way to set up a blog would be through WordPress or Wix. Wix is more convenient in terms of required knowledge to set up the blog, and WordPress is more customizable.
To make sure your blog generates high traffic, you need to make sure the articles you write are relevant and people are searching for the things you write about. That’s where SEO comes in. A good way to view relevant keywords you want your articles to rank on is Ahrefs. Once you know the keywords you want to rank on, the Yoast plugin on WordPress is great for making sure your article is as SEO optimized as can be.
4. Write an eBook
Writing an eBook can be quite time consuming, but when done correctly be very lucrative. Here are 4 steps to follow when writing an eBook
a. Choose a popular topic
It is recommended to choose a topic you’re genuinely interested in, but also one that sells. Choosing something you’re interested in will make it easier to write. Checking out whether the topic will sell can be done through browsing what kind of eBooks are being sold on Amazon for example.
