Should the list be segregated by constraints?

Example

1) Has broadband
2) Close to town with a market
3) Boondocks without market or broadband (but with UPS)

Maybe I'm all mixed up about what agile work is but I'm thinking:
Teaching (one on one, small courses online, etc)
Consulting (health coaching, pneumatic conveying, etc)
Engineering (any kind that is primarily doable via the interweb)
Designing (web pages, ad copy, GUIs [if that's still a thing], etc)
Writing
Editing
Advertising (maybe?)

I like Mike Jay's list. I think they all could be in either the A or the B category - remote or in person.

I'd add to either A or B:

Bookkeeping
Accounting
Trainer (as in physical fitness)
Physical Therapist
Insurance Agent

when I was doing farmers markets the state would send lots of stuff about creating value added productsthe kind of things to do to add value to your products like instead of selling just baskets of blackberries to make preserves out of some and sell canned/bottled preserves. that kind of thing to make additional products out of what you grow. like making and selling blueberry muffins in addition to selling just blueberries.

making walnut oil from wild black walnuts, you get the idea.

Assuming I'm understanding the definition of agile work correctly...
Any kind of custom design work. I've seen people request specific Canva templates, clip art, wedding invitations, baby announcements, etc.
Nearly anything that can be listed on Fiverr
Teach a class on Outschool or other online class website

I tutored a homeschooler during the Covid social distancing mandates, and we did it completely over the internet (mostly with Google apps).

1-on-1 or group coaching or consulting. There are coaches popping up for so many things. Most recently, I've seen info from a dental health coach (not a dentist) and a postpartum nutrition coach.

(Reminder to myself) God didn't say, "well said, well planned, and well thought out." He said, "well done."
