Where are my night owls at!? 

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered: “Can I turn these late-night Netflix binges into something more? Can I make a living while the world sleeps?” 

The answer is YES and in this post I’ll show you how. 

My Work From Home Journey

Let’s rewind a bit. My name is Abbey, and I’m the founder of the Virtual Savvy. 

Before I was running a multi-seven figure online business, I was a tired mom trying to make ends meet. 

Picture this: I was eight months pregnant, with a two-year-old in tow, and my husband was spending hours commuting to and from work every day. Needless to say, our lives were a whirlwind of chaos, and the idea of a traditional 9-to-5 job was simply NOT an option for our family. 

But then, I realized that if I wanted to create a better life for myself and my family, I needed to think outside the box – or in this case, outside the hours of daylight. 

So, armed with nothing but a laptop and a dream, I set out to conquer the nighttime workforce.

It wasn’t easy, of course. Balancing pregnancy, childcare, and the demands of starting a business was difficult.  But I was determined to make it work. 

And you know what? It did work – beautifully.

Fast forward a few years, and here I am – living proof that you can turn your nighttime dreams into daytime realities. 

I’ve built a thriving business, helped thousands of individuals achieve their own work-from-home dreams, and retired my husband from his soul-sucking commute.

Now, you might be wondering: “What does this have to do with me?” 

Well, my friend, everything. 

Because if I can do it, so can you. 

Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent looking to supplement your family’s income, a night owl searching for a way to make a living while the world sleeps, or just someone with a burning desire to break free from the confines of the 9-to-5 grind, you can start making money working from home with the skills you ALREADY have. 

So, grab your laptop, pour yourself a cup of coffee (or tea, or whatever fuels your late-night adventures), and let’s get to it. 

What are the Benefits of Work From Home Jobs You Can Do at Night?

Let’s face it: traditional office hours don’t work for everyone. There may be practical reasons that you HAVE to work at night (hello crazy work schedules or kids attached to your hip all day). But there are actually many BENEFITS to working during the nighttime hours: 

• Peace and Quiet: Say goodbye to office chatter and distractions. Working at night allows you to enjoy uninterrupted focus and productivity.
• Flexibility: With remote work, you have the freedom to choose when and where you work. Say hello to pajamas as your new work attire!
• Work-Life Balance: For parents and caregivers, the night shift offers a precious opportunity to pursue professional goals without sacrificing time with family.

Tips for Thriving on the Night Shift

Working at night comes with its own set of challenges, but with the right approach, you can thrive in the moonlight. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your nighttime hustle:

• Set a Schedule: Establish a consistent work schedule that aligns with your natural energy levels and personal commitments.
• Create a Productive Environment: Designate a dedicated workspace that’s free from distractions and conducive to focus.
• Take Breaks: Remember to take regular breaks to rest and recharge. A quick walk around the house can do wonders for your creativity. I like to use the Pomodoro Technique when working on big projects. 
• Stay Connected: Working late at night can be incredibly productive, but also lonely. Make sure that you schedule plenty of time throughout the daytime hours to connect with friends and family.
