Ways to earn income from home (self.Blind)
submitted by [deleted]
Hey everyone, I live in Canada and I was just wondering if anyone here might have suggestions for how to earn some income with my computer. My wife’s work schedule switch is day by day so I am interested in finding something that might allow me to make some money from home. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

My gf who is blind is a web dev and artist. It isn't much, but it's some income. She's made her own games and does the art for them. The beauty of it is, that even if you have zero sight, you can still code.
She's mainly self taught and now is considered full stack. I think she's been doing it for 5 years, now.

I'm not fully blind (yet) but I am an enterprise web dev (api's etc). I can definitely see (heh) myself being able to continue this work as my vision continues to deteriorate. Maybe not *as* well, but I'll still be able to work for a bit.

That's the beauty of technology right there. My gf lost more of her sight after our power was out for over a week and her meds heated up and got ruined. We grieved a lot, but were comforted in the fact that she could still code even if it got worse.

God bless her for that!

Music, coding, writing articles on any subject you can imagine or writing novels, voice over work, accountancy, baking (depending on hygiene rules where you are), some sort of shop work (yes there are things you can do)... just definitely not piano tuning or basket weaving.

Is there accessible accounting software? What do you use for it if you do it?

I am not an accountant, but I know that Excel is accessible from the little experience that I have.

Sorry, I don't really know. I know there are blind accountants, though. No idea what they use.

LOL is the piano tuning bit ment to be sarcastic?

There's such a thing as pandering to popular prejudice!

Sorry, I realised, it just caught me off guard 😂

It depends on what you like and what you are good at. If you like social media and are good at speaking, there are some ways to make some income. It would be cool to talk more about this. Feel freeto PM me.

I wish you all the best of luck if I can think of anything I'll absolutely let you know! Check out Tommy Edison on YouTube. He is a blind youtube star and he could definitely have a video or two to help inspire you! Best of luck and God bless you
