Since the pandemic, the desire to go into an office has plummeted and more people are making money working remotely, as they generally prefer.

With the rise of apps like Slack and Discord that help keep us digitally connected to our co-workers and managers, working from home has become easier than ever. But it can get even better than sitting at your laptop. You could simply sit at your phone! 

Check out these eight jobs you can do from or solely on your phone, and how much they pay. 

Tech Support 

If you’re a tech wiz and like solving problems, you should consider a job in tech support. Because this job requires little face-to-face interaction and (typically) no need to log on to your work computer, it’s possible to pull this gig off using only your phone. In the U.S., folks working in the tech support sector make an average salary of $43,480. 

Online Tutor 

Your smartphone is probably well-equipped to run video meetings smoothly. If you’ve got a strong educational flair, excellent patience and want to monetize your skills without putting your phone down, consider online tutoring. The average online tutor salary in the U.S. is $59,583 — right in line with the national average in 2024.

Mobile App Developer 

It makes great sense that a mobile app developer could work directly from…a mobile app. This is a great career for people who want to pull in six figures. The national average salary for mobile app developers is $110,482. 

Customer Service Representative 

Ever thought about the possibility that the customer representative you’re talking to is sitting at home using only their phone? It could be the case; plus, droves of companies are outsourcing customer service jobs. This job doesn’t pay as well as others on this list ($38,638), so it’s probably best fit for someone who lives somewhere very cheap or isn’t the head of the household.   

Social Media Marketing Assistant 

If you’re a social media maven and want to put your slick posting skills to work, right from the comfort of your own phone. Social media marketing assistants make an average salary of $57,979 in the U.S. 

Delivery Driver 

Yes, you’ll need to be able to drive to be a delivery driver, but you also might not need more than your phone to get the job done. With the rise of app-based delivery companies, comes the ability to coordinate and check off tasks through the company’s app. In the U.S., remote delivery drivers typically get paid hourly, making an average of $18 an hour.  

Content Creator 

If you want to create content for a living, become a content creator. These professionals work with brands to execute high-quality marketing campaigns and boost engagement. If you have the right apps and the right skills, you can often do this job right from your phone. The average salary a content creator in the U.S. pulls in is $79,978. 

Mystery Shopper 

A mystery shopper visits retailers with the chief goal of assessing the shopping experience for a company. This job typically requires you to have a smartphone to get instructions on your job. Though surely you won’t be able to do this job from your couch, you won’t need more than your phone to do it. A mystery shopper makes, on average, $18 an hour.
