Look, societyy's been telling you that
waking up at 5:00 a.m. is the key to
success. And that early bird gets the
worm that they've been shoving down your
entire life, well, it's complete garbage
for night owls like us. Now, I used to
be a pharmacist who literally hated my
life because I had to wake up early
every single day. Should I call you the
pharmacist? And a lot of the time, my
brain doesn't even turn on till like
10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., sometimes even
noon. And it's not my fault. It's
literally how I'm wired. There are
legitimate high-paying jobs where
companies are actively looking for
people who prefer working nights. And
they're not just tolerating night owls,
they're hunting for them. But Shane, I
can't afford to just work whenever I
want. Actually, you absolutely can't.
The problem isn't that you're a night
owl. The problem is you haven't found
the right opportunity that fits your
natural schedule. Well, all the good
jobs want me to work normal hours.
Wrong. Again, some of these jobs I'm
about to show you pay up to $118,000 a
year. And most don't even require a
college degree. And I'm not talking
about delivering pizzas or Uber driving
or any of the that you hear all the time
on YouTube. These are legitimate remote
careers that you can do from your couch
at 2 a.m. while everyone else is asleep.
Now, I'm going to give you a bunch of
really good options in this video, but
if you want help actually choosing which
option is best for you, I put together a
free guide called Find Your Perfect
Remote Career in 15 Minutes. It has
everything you need to land these exact
jobs, including resume templates and
interview scripts specifically designed
for night owls. So, check that out down
in the description in the pin comment
below. All right, let's get into it.
First one on the list is going to be a
retail crime investigator. And in this
position, you'd make about 65 to
$118,000 a year. And what you're going
to be doing is investigating retail
theft, but you're going to be doing it
remotely in many cases when the stores
aren't even open. And the night owl
advantage here is you're basically like
a digital detective working when
criminals sleep, reviewing footage from
the day's activities and building cases
while most of the world is dreaming. So
what do they actually do? Well, they
analyze security footage, track patterns
of organized retail crime. And yes, that
is actually a thing, believe it or not,
and coordinate with law enforcement all
while you're sitting at home in your
pajamas at 11:00 p.m. Now, what skills
are required? Attention to detail, an
investigative mindset, and a basic
understanding of retail operations and
loss prevention tactics. And someone who
does this for a living said that I think
if you're smart, you can make it a
career. I have less than five years of
experience, no college degree, and I'm
an OC investigator making around $70,000
a year. So, they jumped companies,
learned a few skills, and landed this
$70,000 role with no degree. And these
opportunities exist if you're willing to
look beyond the standard 9to-ive jobs.
Now, a barrier to entry here is many
companies do want a criminal justice
degree, but just as we saw, it's not
always a hard requirement. An experience
in retail loss prevention can get your
foot in the door. And many people
working in retail are automatically
working in retail loss prevention. And I
worked in retail less than 5 years ago
and I could tell you that just about all
of us working in retail are
automatically working in retail loss
prevention because theft is so common
these days. Quick break. This video is
sponsored by me. Most of you don't know
that I actually have my own coaching
program on personal branding and then
growing and making money on YouTube. And
this is good for complete beginners,
maybe even people who just want to get a
job by growing their personal brand, all
the way up to people who are very
advanced on YouTube. And they get to
work directly with myself and my team to
help them reach their goals. Now, we are
opening up three to five spots, and this
is pretty rare. We do usually don't have
these open. We usually only limit them
to select people, but we're opening up
three to five spots, and you can check
those out down in the description and
the pen comment below. And in this
program, you'll get to work directly
with myself and other people who are
highly successful on YouTube. Just as an
example, Shawn was able to go all the
way from being stuck, not making very
much money on his channel to making over
$500,000 a month. Now, that's an example
of one of my more advanced students, but
there's lots of examples of people who
started off from scratch and they got to
5K a month, 10K a month, etc. So, check
that out down in the description and the
pin comment below. Number two is going
to be a support engineer. And these
people are making$86 to $145,000 a year.
And tech companies love having support
engineers available during night hours
because their clients are global and
because things might happen during the
night. There might be problems at night
or they might be doing updates at night.
So what's unique about this role for
night people? Well, you're working when
the US sleeps, but Europe and Asia are
wide awake, which means you're the hero
solving urgent technical problems that
can't wait until morning. So what does a
day in the life look like? You're
basically solving technical problems for
customers through chat, tickets, and
phone calls. And according to Tanisha, a
support engineer who shared her
experience on LinkedIn, I provide
highquality technical support to
customers across the globe. During my
shift, I frequently collaborate with
teammates about solutions to problems.
How about the skills required? Well,
technical troubleshooting abilities,
good communication skills, and patience
for explaining complex issues simply are
going to be great. And the beautiful
thing is her shift starts with a morning
meeting, but her morning might be 8:00
p.m. for everyone else. That's the
beauty of global tech support. Now, the
pros, less office politics, more
autonomy, and you get paid more for the
night shift, sometimes up to 10 to 15%
of your base salary. Now, for the cons,
you might miss some daytime team
activities, and you have to manage your
sleep schedule carefully. How about
barrier to entry? Well, technical
knowledge is a must, but many companies
will train you if you have the aptitude.
And the good news, tech companies often
pay extra for night shift work. Now, by
the way, if you've done any of these
jobs that I talk about or you know other
jobs that might be good for this type of
list, go ahead and comment below. I love
to hear about those and there's a chance
it might make it into a future video.
All right, next is data center associate
and they make around 52 to $94,000 a
year. These are the people who monitor
the critical infrastructure that keeps
websites and online services running.
Now, what makes this job odd? Well,
you're kind of babysitting servers while
the world sleeps. And most maintenance
and updates does happen during off hours
to minimize disruption, making night
owls incredibly valuable. And data
centers never sleep. They need 24/7
monitoring. And night shifts are
actually where you can really stand out
because there's less competition for
these roles. Now, the skills required
are basic technical understanding,
attention to detail, and the ability to
follow established protocols. Just look
at this job posting from ComCore. This
is a part-time regular position with a
night shift ro schedule. Shifts
typically begin at 7:00 p.m., but they
may begin as early as 6:00 p.m. Must be
willing to work past midnight. So,
they're specifically looking for night
owls. And what do you do? You monitor
theat's normal reporting time, evaluate
issues, prepare and sort source
documents, and make sure everything's
running smoothly. Now, the pros here are
it's a quieter work environment, less
micromanagement, and often plenty of
time to study or develop skills between
monitoring tasks. So, you can get
certifications and skill up while you're
working or while you're waiting for
something to go wrong, which is pretty
awesome. You're getting paid to learn in
demand skills. That's basically a cheat
code. Now, the barrier to entry, just a
high school diploma or GAD and often
just 0 to1 years of related experience.
Now, I've talked in detail about how you
can get experience on this channel. It's
really not as hard as you might think,
even if you haven't technically got paid
for that experience. So, this can be an
excellent entry point into tech without
needing a specialized degree. All right,
next is Care Solutions Consultant, and
they make up to $22.10 per hour. Now,
this one is in the healthcare industry,
and specifically, it's typically going
to be in the elder care industry, and
companies like Honor are paying up to
$22 an hour for these roles. So, in this
position, you're connecting with
families about sensitive elder care
issues during evening hours when they
finish their workday and can finally
focus on family matters. Now, what's
interesting about this job? You're
helping families find care solutions for
elderly relatives, a conversation that
often happens in the evening after
everyone's off work. Now, the skills
required, empathy, sales abilities, and
knowledge of healthcare options for
seniors. So, the job posting
specifically states some night and
weekend hours required, and they're
telling you upfront that this is for
people who can work during off hours.
And your day or night involves
responding to calls, assessing customer
needs, and explaining services. And
you'll make 75 to 90 calls per day,
combination of inbound and outbound.
Now, the pros, meaningful work, helping
families during critical times of need,
and companies value evening
availability. The cons, it can be
emotionally taxing dealing with families
in crisis situations. The barrier to
entry bachelor's degree is typically
preferred but not always required if you
have experience in healthcare or sales.
And the critical requirement is being
available during those evening hours
when families are typically having these
discussions. Next is a donor
coordinator. In this position, you'd
make about $42 to $59,000 a year. And
you'd likely be working in health care
or nonprofit organizations to coordinate
organ tissue or blood donations. And
emergencies and medical procedures don't
follow a 9-to-five schedule. Organs
become available at all hours. and
you're the crucial link ensuring that
they reach the people who need them. And
this is literally life-saving work. And
a lot of it happens at night. And when
emergencies happen and organ donations
are needed, someone has to coordinate
that process regardless of the hour.
Now, skills required, organization, the
ability to work under pressure and
excellent communication skills,
particularly over the phone. Now, just
as an example job posting, I found one
for Donor alliance, and it specifically
mentions tissue knights in the title.
So, they're not hiding it. They need
night people and you'll be remotely
coordinating the donation process,
speaking with hospital staff and
managing the logistics of tissue
recovery. Now, the pros for this one,
incredibly meaningful work where you
directly help to save lives, plus a
structured career path in healthcare.
The cons, it can be emotionally intense
dealing with life and death situations
and the barriers to entry. Well,
experience with medical terminology is
preferred, but many organizations will
train the right person and this is very
common in a lot of healthcare related
jobs. Now, what matters most is your
ability to handle a high pressure
environment during odd hours. All right,
next one is SEO writer, and you can make
about 56 to $94,000 a year doing this.
And the beautiful thing is they can work
literally whenever they want and
wherever they want, usually as long as
they meet their deadlines. So, you're
essentially a vampire of the digital
world. Many writers find their creative
flow state at night when the world is
quiet, making night owl schedules
perfect for this career. And this is
perfect for night owls because content
creation and research often flow better
when there are no distractions. So while
the world sleeps, you craft content that
ranks on Google. Now, skills required,
strong writing abilities, research
skills, and understanding of SEO
principles, and also self-discipline to
meet deadlines. Now, I found a job
posting from Advanced Local for an i
gaming writer that pays 52 to $62,000 a
year. And it explicitly states that it's
remote, so they need someone to write
about online casinos, sweep stakes, and
lottery topics that people are searching
for 24/7. And again, this is just an
example job posting. There's lots of
other ones out there just like it. Pros
here, complete scheduling freedom, the
ability to take on multiple clients, and
the potential to increase income with
specialization. Cons: feast or famine
workflow at times, and the need to
constantly produce new content. Barrier
to entry, usually a degree in
journalism, English, or communications
is preferred, but proven writing ability
often trumps formal education. So, if
you can write content that ranks,
companies don't really care when you do
it or how much education you have.
What's happening, guys, in the editing
process of this video? and I have an
opportunity for a select group of
people. So these are people who are
serious about growing their personal
brand on YouTube. So basically we
figured out recently how to grow a
personal brand and combine all the
upsides of a personal brand with the
upsides of automation, right? Using AI,
using things like this to basically grow
your personal brand 10 times faster,
which in the past used to take decades
to do. And now you can do it
significantly faster. And you can do
this to get a better job. You know, we
work with beginners that just want to
get a better job with their personal
brand. You can do this to make money as
a side hustle. We work with a lot of
people like that. We can do this to make
more money if you already have a side
hustle or a small business. Or if you're
already crushing it on YouTube, we can
help you crush it 10 times more. We've
worked with people like that as well. I
mean, I literally can show clients at
each level. People that we've gotten
from zero to over 10K, zero to like over
30K, uh, from like 1K per month all the
way up to 185K per month, from around
30K per month, all the way up to over
500K per month. literally at every
single level and it works for everyone
in every situation. With that being
said, we are only working with three to
five people and they have to be people
who are very serious, right? People who
are dedicated to making this work. So,
if you think you're that type of person,
go ahead and apply down the description
and the pin comment below and you can be
part of our group of 35 that we help.
So, see you there. Have a good one. All
right. Next one is outbound enrollment
representative. And this one pays about
$60 to $96,000 a year. And a lot of the
time you're going to be working for
educational institutions, healthcare
companies, or financial services. So in
this position, you're going to be
reaching people during prime evening
hours when they're actually available
and relaxed at home, which is why
companies specifically hire night owls
for these roles. And what makes this
perfect for night owls is you're often
calling people during evening hours
because that's when they're available
after work. Now, the skills required
here, sales abilities, resilience to
rejection, and excellent phone
communication skills. And I found some
hilarious Reddit posts from people in
this field. One person said, "One time
this person picked up screaming that
they couldn't talk and went on about how
they were in the middle of a car
accident. Lol. They literally spent 10
minutes bitching about me calling in the
middle of their crisis." So yeah, when
you're outbound calling people, you are
going to get people that are really mad.
Another wrote, "I used to do outbound
work before moving to inbound. Hated
calling doctor's office who would spend
5 minutes cussing me out for
interrupting their day and hanging up.
So you do have to have thick skin to do
this one." Now the pros here, high
commission potential, clear metrics for
success, and the satisfaction of helping
people enroll in programs that benefit
them. The cons, dealing with rejection,
and occasionally hostile responses to
your calls. Barrier to entry, sales
experience is preferred, but many
companies provide comprehensive training
because they're desperate for good
people willing to work these hours. So,
like I said, full guide on how you can
figure out which job is best for you and
land it. That'll be down in the
description in the pin comment below.
