After I published an article on the best Fiverr jobs you can do from home and make money, I got a lot of emails from readers asking me to talk about part-time night or evening jobs one can do from home or remotely.
If you’re one of those people, I heard you loud and clear. In this article, I will show you the 11 best part-time night jobs you can do from home or remotely and earn money.
What is a part-time night job?
A part-time night job refers to a job you can do for a reduced number of hours in the night or evening. The aim is to earn more money to increase your income and gain financial freedom.
I know you may have come across YouTube gurus or social media influencers telling you about part-time jobs you can do at night only for you to find out they aren’t legitimate. The fact is that most of these gurus are interested in selling courses on what they haven’t done themselves.
Bullshit!
Whether you are a woman looking for a part-time night job to earn more money and add to what your day job pays, or you are a stay-at-home mom looking for jobs you can do at night when your kids are asleep, so you can take care of them.
Or you are a senior citizen/retiree looking for part-time night jobs you can do to take care of your old age.
The good news!
I have researched and compiled a list of part-time night jobs you can do that pay legitimately. This list includes the ones I do myself to make money.
Provided you are willing to put in the hard work, and burn extra midnight candles, these part-time jobs I will show you will help you earn more money and boost your financial status.
What makes a lucrative part-time night or evening job?
While searching for part-time night jobs, it’s important you know what makes them lucrative. This is for you not to end up going for a job that you spend many hours in the night doing only for you to realize it doesn’t worth it.
- It has the potential to earn you good money
- It’s sustainable that you can even quit your day job
- You can do it anytime and from anywhere
- It doesn’t require high-profile credentials and advanced skills
- It doesn’t affect your mental health and well-being
When it comes to making money part-time or even at night there are 3 categories of jobs you can do:
- Build your own side hustle or small-scale business
- Work as a freelancer for companies and businesses
- Work as an employee in a company
#1 – Is starting and building your own side hustle or small-scale business:
When it comes to starting a side hustle to build a reliable income stream, a lot of people turn the other way. The excuse oftentimes are” It requires money and the industry is saturated. How I’m sure I will succeed in it. People who started earlier have dominated the industry. I can’t risk this small money I have”
But the fact is that building your own side hustle has the potential to give you the financial freedom you seek. You become your own boss, work at your own pace, spend time with your loved ones, and do things that make you happy.
When I started this blog in 2019, I was a bit scared because of a lot of negative comments I read on Facebook groups about blogging and building your own business. 4 years later, I realized it was the best decision I made. Although I haven’t made millions, the money I make from affiliate programs and the freelance services I offer via this blog is far more than what I’d have made working for a company from 2019 till now.
Below is a screenshot of the commission I made promoting just one AI writing tool on this blog:
And here are the email notifications of me earning a commission from this affiliate program:
I also offer SEO services as you can see on the homepage of this blog.
And I make over $1000/month doing this on a part-time basis.
That’s the power of building a side hustle for yourself.
#2 – Is working as a freelancer for businesses and companies
Working as a freelancer involves offering your services to businesses and companies and getting paid per hour or project. What I like about it is that you decide your working time and rate. And above all, you work from the comfort of your home, with just your smart device and internet connection.
#3 – working part-time or full-time as an employee
Here you work for companies on their own terms. They decide how much they are willing to pay you. While you are guaranteed job security and other perks like health insurance, and paid vacations, it doesn’t give you the time to think of how to build something for yourself. And your potential to earn more is based on your productivity level, more skills you have acquired, and overall profit of the company you work for.
So if working part-time as an employee is your thing, my advice is to learn how to polish your Resume to look appealing to recruiters. There are a lot of HR personnel on Fiverr who can help you write and design your Resume to boost your chances of landing the lucrative jobs you applied for.
With that being said, below are the 9 best part-time night jobs you may find appealing as per your requirements.
1. Start A Blog ( Highest Paying Part-time Night Job)
Whenever I write an article on this blog about making money online, side hustle, or passive income ideas, I always put starting a blog first.
Why?
This is what I have been doing since 2019. I love it and have helped a lot of people start their own blog and monetize It.
But before I proceed, let’s look at what a blog is and who is a blogger.
A blog is a website that publishes articles about a topic with the aim of helping a target audience solve their problem.
And a blogger is someone who writes these articles, publishes, updates them, and manages the blog.
So as someone that owns this blog you’re reading, I’m a blogger.
Blogging is a lucrative side hustle you can build for yourself on a part-time basis, especially at night. If you can dedicate 3 hours a night to create a blog post, and do this 3 times a week, you will have 3 articles you can publish a month. This is how I started this blog you’re reading when I was in my last year at university. I spent 3 hours every night working on it to see that I get enough quality blog posts live. And looking at the screenshots I shared with you above, you will see that those late nights have started paying off.
When it comes to making money from blogs it can be done in different ways:
- Display ads ( Like the ones you see floating on this page)
- Affiliate marketing – you promote other people’s products and earn a commission when you make a sale
- Freelance services – You can offer freelance services related to blogging ( I offer SEO services to bloggers and brands that want to boost their ranking on search engines)
- Sponsored posts – Brands pay you to write about their products on your blog)
- Online courses – You can create online courses and sell them to your audience
How do you start blogging?
To get started with blogging, you must first decide the niche you want to blog on.
I blog in the online business software, job, make money online, saving, and investment niche. This is because I have experience with online marketing, reviewing business software, and online jobs.
So you choose a niche you have enough experience in. This will help you write high-quality content that Google will fall in love with. And that means you can rank higher on search results and drive massive traffic if you get your SEO right. Also, consider the potential of making money in such a niche because this is business, and you have to make money.
After choosing a niche, the next is to purchase a domain name. I always advise beginner bloggers to go with domain names that relate to their niche. This will help your audience recognize what you do easily. You can get domain names from Namecheap for just $7/year.
You need to host your domain. Bluehost is a cheap and affordable web hosting for beginner bloggers. With just $2.95/month, you can host your blog.
The next step is to start designing your blog. First is to install WordPress which is a popular content management system bloggers use. I personally use it.
Designing your blog involves installing themes, creating pages, setting up menus, choosing colors and fonts, etc. This might look confusing if you aren’t tech-savvy. But no issues because you can hire freelancers on Fiverr to design and set up your WordPress blog.
When your blog is up and running, you can start publishing high-quality articles that relate to your niche and can help your target audience solve their problem. If your SEO strategy is sound, you can start driving traffic within a few months.
How much do bloggers make?
It depends on the number of high-quality traffic you drive, your niche, and your monetization strategy.
For example, if you monetize your blog with display ads, depending on your niche, you can make $10 – $50 per 1000 views if you work with top-rated ad networks like Mediavine and Raptive.
With affiliate programs, you can make recurring monthly commissions if you promote affiliate programs like Shopify and GetResponse.
Established bloggers with massive traffic from countries like the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand make more than $10,000 monthly from display ads only. If you add affiliate commission, sponsored posts, course sales, and consulting services, it can shoot up to $50,000. And there are bloggers that make more than $100,000 a month.
So the key thing you should keep in mind is that you need high-quality traffic to make money from your blog. And for you to drive high-quality traffic, you must know how to write a blog post Google will love, your audience will love, and take the desired action.
Maddie Cohen, a UC Berkley Alumna has written multiple blog posts that drove millions of traffic and generated quality leads that converted to sales.
After she had success doing this, she decided to teach other bloggers how to write blog posts that will drive millions of traffic. So she started Blog Post Writing to make sure bloggers learn the exact strategy to write blog posts that will drive massive high-quality traffic which they need to make money.
How do you get started with blogging to build your own side hustle and make money?
The easiest way is to join Maddie Cohen’s Blog Post Writing to learn how to write killer blog posts that will drive you massive traffic.
And more interesting is that Maddie also showed you how to:
- Optimize your blog post for search engines
- Edit and proofread your blog post like a pro
- Convince your target audience to purchase an affiliate product you promote, so you can earn a commission
- Free tools you need to create a blog post
- And many more
And what I like about Maddie’s Blog Post Writing is that you can use the skills and experience you acquired to offer blog writing services to businesses and earn up $1000 writing a blog post of 1000 words.
2. Start An Ecommerce Store ( High Paying Part-time Night Job)
Setting up an ecommerce store and selling physical or digital products is a side hustle you can build in the evening. The revenue in the ecommerce market is expected to hit USD 5.56 trillion by 2027 and now is the time to set yourself up to benefit from it.
What is an ecommerce store?
This is an online store where shoppers visit to shop online at their own convenient time. Days are gone when people queue in shopping malls to get items they need. With online stores, they can do that from their sofa and have the items delivered to their doorsteps. This is how Amazon makes billions of dollars in annual revenue.
You can set up an ecommerce store to sell your digital and physical products.
You can even do dropshipping – selling other people’s products and making money from the additional amount you add to the actual price while the owner of the product fulfills the order.
I have an article where I showed you how to start a dropshipping business.
How do you get started with ecommerce store?
First is to decide the type of ecommerce business you want to build as your side hustle – selling your own products or dropshipping.
Many beginners go with dropshipping because it doesn’t require you to create your own product or shipping it to the buyer. You just display the products in your store, when shoppers place an order, you take your cut and pass the order to the wholesaler for fulfillment.
When it comes to succeeding in selling products online, the ecommerce platform you chose and the products you sell contribute in no small measure.
An ecommerce platform is where you set up your online store. Among the popular ones – Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Launch Cart, Shopify is the best and the most used. This is because it’s an all-in-one ecommerce platform that handles everything from updates, security to maintenance—allowing you to focus on making sales.
Read this article where I showed you how Shopify works.
As a beginner choosing a product in a difficult niche means it will take time to make sales. This is because a lot of established brands have dominated. And you can’t compete with them as a beginner.
For example, you can’t compete with Kylie Cosmetics if you decide to sell cosmetics. It’s a well-known cosmetic brand that uses Shopify to sell online, and it has been around for years.
A good idea is to niche down to a single product like light skin cream and establish a huge presence before adding another line of products.
Damiano Raveenthiran, a Shopify expert and founder of Start Up Slang, a Shopify development agency in Canada has recorded a lot of success with Shopify ecommerce store. He has worked with over 1000 companies including Panasonic, helping them to set up and grow their Shopify store. Now he has started Shopify Fundamentals where he teaches people how to set up and run a successful Shopify store.
How do you get started with your ecommerce store on Shopify?
The easiest way is to join Damiano Raveenthiran on his Shopify Fundamentals to learn how he has been setting up and running Shopify stores for billionaire dollar brands like Panasonic.
3. Start A YouTube Channel ( High Paying Part-time Night Job)
YouTube is the second-biggest search engine after Google. Billions of people go there monthly to watch videos that educate and entertain them while the creators of these videos make money from display ads, affiliate marketing, sponsorship, etc. If you love creating videos, YouTube is a side hustle you can build as a part-time business that will make you money in no distant time.
I’m scared of showing my face on camera!
This is a common excuse that holds some people back from starting a YouTube channel. The good news is that you can start a faceless YouTube channel and still make money from it.
Not quite long, I started a YouTube channel in the history niche, and it took me only 3 months to monetize it.
I have over 50 videos on this channel and I created and edited each of them in my spare time using free tools.
You, too, can start a faceless YouTube channel and dedicate 2 hours every night to create a video in a niche that you have experience in and also with a huge audience.
How do you get started with YouTube?
First is to create an account on YouTube which is free. Choose a niche you have an experience in and can create videos consistently on.
The infographics below show some of the lucrative YouTube niches:
Once you have chosen a niche, start creating videos immediately. If you prefer faceless YouTube channels, tools like Jasper, Inshot, Clipchamp’s Text to Voice and Canva are all you need.
- Use Jasper to generate video scripts. Be sure to edit it for accuracy and logical meaning and also fact-check.
- Use Clipchamp Text to Voice tool to convert your text to audio
- Use Inshot to edit your video and add pictures, GIFs, muted videos to make it attractive and attention-grabbing
- Use Canva to create YouTube thumbnails – it has plenty of pre-made thumbnails you can edit and customize to suit your video.
When you hit 1000 subscribers and 4000 video watch hours, apply to YouTube for monetization. Once your channel is monetized, you begin to make money through ads on your videos.
YouTube is a game of views and retention. You make more money as more people watch your videos for a longer period.
With consistency and commitment, a YouTube channel can make you money far more than what your day job pays you.
And don’t take my work for it. Below is Adam who makes $100,000 per year from one of his YouTube channels:
He started posting videos on one of his channels in 2020, and you can see how far he has gone.
4. Logo & Brand Identity Designing ( Remote Part-time Night Job)

A logo refers to a unique and easily recognizable visual symbol that represents a business, brand, or company. It is usually a mix of images, text, colors, and even a brand slogan.
Brand identity refers to an element that represents a business or brand across different marketing channels it uses to promote itself.
Businesses combine logo design and brand identity to stand out from their competitors, build trust, and create impressions on their target customers.
So if you’re a creative person who can use graphics design tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, designing logos and brand identity for businesses is a lucrative part-time night job for you.
From my research on Fiverr, logo designers charge up to $75 to design a basic logo. At the same time, sophisticated ones cost up to $995.
The interesting thing is that you can do these on a part-time basis at night. Let’s assume a Fiverr buyer placed an order to design a logo and your delivery duration is 3 days. You can get this project ready if you commit 2 hours per night to it. That’s a total of 6 hours.
Brian Schmitt, a former Apple and Nike designer who now works as a multi-platform creative director has over 16 years of experience in logo and brand identity design. He has helped companies like Google, eBay, and Apple make billions of dollars just by creating brand identity that helps sell their products after.
After recording a lot of success doing this, he decided to start Logo & Brand Identity For Designers where he teaches logo and brand identity designers how to create logos and brand identities that companies will pay thousands of dollars to have. He also shows you how to consistently get clients queuing for you to design logos and create brand identities for them.
