Answer Hi Sallie,
Any employment search site will have job listings in the areas you're looking at. For copywriting you can also check out writing websites such as mediabistro.com and writersweekly.com.
There is a market for copywriting and online teaching, but you will need some experience and skills. If you're good at copywriting, you can probably find some entry level jobs. There are books on copywriting that can help you learn more about this field. Online teaching may requires an advance degree. Online tutoring often just requires a knowledge of the topic.
