Home 2023 That Will Allow You Earn Money Anywhere
I'm going to
tell you seven of the best work-from-home jobs
available right now then will allow you to
earn money from anywhere in the world and don't
require you to have lots of previous experience or
qualifications and I'm also going to tell you how and where you can apply for all of these jobs and give you a few tips on getting started in each one
all you need is a basic computer and an
internet connection.
Work-from-home jobs or remote jobs are also known are a great way to earn extra income on the side of a full-time job or they can even be used as a stepping stone
into becoming a full-time remote worker and ditching the 9-to-5 altogether, They’re
also really good for people with full-time commitments
such as parents and careers who want to earn a bit of extra income and need the flexibility to work around their other commitment so whatever your goals are my aim. I’m
telling you several works-from-home job options that are available right now to give you some practical advice and resources to help you get one
of
those jobs so that you can go from where you are now to earning a regular income
in a relatively short space of time, and just as a quick disclaimer these aren't
get-rich-quick schemes they will require a bit of hard work upfront and they
won't make you a millionaire overnight but they can help me to earn anything
from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds a month depending on the time and
effort you are willing and able
to
put into them.
Firstly
I'm going to talk about what a good work-from-home job or remote job really is
and in particular what the criteria for the list I'm about to go through or
meet, and this is important because I want to make sure that I'm covering
realistic jobs that anybody reading this kind of same and I also want to make
sure that you're aiming for good opportunities and you're avoiding some of the
common pitfalls that people fall into when looking for a remote job.
Then
I'm going to run from my list of jobs and cover all of the following points.
what the job involves and what you'll be expected to do what skills are
involved in the job how much you can earn how to get started in the job so what
websites you need to approach at any other helpful resources that might help
you to get these jobs you'll notice that a lot of these websites are UK-based but you don't need to be based in the UK to apply for them so that has hurt you
if you're based outside of the UK.
1.
What Make A Good WFH Job?
I'm going to throw in a couple of bonus tips
around things you need to avoid when
applying for remote jobs to make sure that you're not making any big mistakes
they're gonna cost you later down the line. so what are the criteria for a good
work-from-home job that you can get started in quickly well firstly all of the
jobs that I'm gonna run through here are. what I call low barrier to entry
jobs and what that means is they don't require you to have previous experience
or technical knowledge or qualifications, so I'm not just going to say become a
web developer because although that's a very good job in its own right it's not
something you can get started in straightaway it will take years to build up
and train and develop the knowledge and skills required to become a web
developer. so as long as you have a basic grasp of English and a willingness to
put in a bit of hard work then you should be able to learn any of these jobs
within a relatively short space of time and that of course means that you'll be
able to start generating an income quite quickly, and also this list is going
to be strictly for jobs and not businesses so I'm not just gonna tell you to go
and start your own Amazon business because although that is again a viable way
to make money remotely it's not a job it's a business it will require you to
risk your own money and it could potentially take months or years before you
turn a profit not to mention there will be lots of learning to do if you've
never done it before. some of these jobs may be able to be done on a freelance
basis which is almost leaning a little bit towards starting their own business
but you'll still have the security of working for a large website or agency
which takes away a lot of the hassle and makes things a lot more
straightforward for you thirdly all of the jobs on this list have the potential
for you to progress within them which means you can develop the skills that are
acquired within them which can lead to better opportunities and an increased
rate of pay overtime which is really beneficial if you are looking to make a
full-time career or a full-time income from remote work so this means I'm not
going to be covering things like filling out online surveys or cashback websites because there's no way to develop the skills within those which means
there's no way to increase the pay rate as time goes on and generally speaking
that those things tend to be quite low paid anyway. let's start looking at
these jobs then.
2. Virtual Assistants VA
virtual
assistant or VA virtual assistants provide admin support to small business owners
or sometimes to managers within larger businesses the type of tasks you'll be
doing as a VA will vary a lot depending on the type of employer your work will
form and what their needs are but generally speaking the type of task we'll be
doing will include things like document formatting organizing emails and
responding to emails updating and managing spreadsheets diary management online
research for things like articles and presentations and also things like booking
flights trains and hotels for business travel. The work can be really varied by
I would class the skills needed as general office skills knowing how to use
Microsoft Word Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets and Google Docs and then those kinds of programs can be really helpful, and also having a good knowledge of the
main email providers so things like Outlook or Gmail you'll also need to have a
good grasp of the English language and a good ability to provide written
communication and to follow briefs a lot of these skills can be learned right on
YouTube. There are lots of tutorials on these topics and a quick tip for those
of you who struggle with written English or perhaps English is the first
language you can use a spelling and grammar checking tool like Grammarly which
is a Chrome extension that checks all of your documents all of your emails
anything that you send out it highlights the mistakes and shows your
Corrections it's totally free to download. The amount of money you can earn as a virtual assistant really does depend on who you're working for the type of
tasks you're doing and how long you've been doing it but the job sites say
that the average virtuousness earns around 11 pounds an hour but I've also seen
some permanent VA jobs going for around 25,000 pounds a year. another point
worth noting is that virtual assistants are often paid for the tasks they do
and not for their time which means if you can get really good at doing certain
tasks and start doing them really quickly you could potentially earn a lot more
than the average figures.
How
do you get a job as a virtual?
Assistant
will probably the easiest way to get started as a VA is to sign up to a
freelance website and start offering some services that you’ve already have
some experience in or recently learn here on YouTube signing up to a
freelance website like People per Hour
Calm or Fiverr calm is really easy
and you'll find there are lots of small business I there who are looking for
virtual assistants to take care of some of their daily tasks. now using these
freelance sites effectively does require a bit of time and effort, But
basically, the three things you need to do are you need to make an attractive
profile that shows people what you can offer them and the kind of VA services you
can offer you need to search for jobs have been posted by business owners and
apply for them by writing proposals and you also need to create your own sort
of little mini adverts to show people the kind of services you can offer business owners can then come and find them and apply to you directly to take
you on. You can also search for permanent VA jobs on big job websites like
CV LIBRARIAN and ZOUNA they'll have a few but you're more likely to find remote
jobs like that on sites like Club Staff or we work remotely. of course, whenever you're applying for any job
online you need a good strong CV to make that right first impression.
3. WRITER (ARTICLE/COPY/CVs)
This
job is a really popular one in the world of remote work and that is writing this can be broken down into three categories Article writer, copywriter, and
CV writer/resume writer.
1. Article Writer
Article writing involves writing relatively
short articles or even blog posts for websites that are in constant need of
content to entertain their readers so there's a really high demand for this
type of work and you can find work writing on just about any topic Under the
Sun these days obviously a good level of written English is needed to be an
article writer and also an understanding of how to structure a good article and
keep readers entertained.
2. Copywriters
Copywriting are very similar to article
writers but they write text specifically for advertisement type material so for
sales pages on websites or for leaflets and brochures and things like that, it's
more geared towards encouraging readers to to buy products or sign up for services
so again it requires a very good level of written English but also as a
copywriter you need to be able to sort of tap into people with emotions and
persuade them to take action if you want to improve your writing skills there
are lots of information sources out there to help you do that these days online
in particular marketing sites like hub spot or copy blogger or really good
sources but another really good way to learn how to write well is just to study
other writers you probably read lots of articles online so next time you read one
you know starts to looking a bit more objectively see how the article is structured
and try to learn a bit more about how the writer keeps you interested article
and copyright to pay varies a lot but if you're just starting out at the
industry you can probably expect to earn anywhere between three to four pounds
per 100 words written which means if you can write a 500 word article in one
hour then you'll earn an average hourly rate of around 17 pounds 50 and I never
try to compromise and 20 to 25 K in a permanent role but as you increase your skills
of the writer and perhaps start to specialize in certain areas you can really
start to increase those pay rates so for example if you were to work your way
into becoming a specialist a sales copy writer for technology companies and you
could probably own a lot higher rate because the pages you're writing for will
be generating high-value sales for those businesses which means that the employers
will be prepared to pay you a much higher rate to write those pages so it's
really about getting stuck in and carving your own pathway if you want to learn
the best phrases of writer to get an article or copyright for a job again I
would suggest starting with the freelance websites like peopleperhour.com ,
Fiverr.com setting up a profile start applying for jobs within those sites and
also saying up your own mini adverts to tell people the services that you're
offering first it can be quite tricky to land jobs on these freelance sites
when you don't have any feedback or reviews because the buyers have no ways to
trust you to get around this problem start offering work at a really low
competitive rates to get some early buyers in and then once you've built up some
good feedback you can slowly start to increase your rates because once you
starts
to get a few reviews say that you've done good work then other people will
start to have more trust in you and you'll be able to charge higher prices and
people want to work with you because they can see that you've deliver good results
for others you can also sign up to work for a big copywriting agency like
copper foil sex broker what they do is I essentially have contracts with large
companies to create lots of content and then they hire remote writers to write
that content for them so you basically sign up with these agencies buy their
websites and you may be required to do a quick test to determine the level of
your writing ability and then once you're signed up they will simply assign you
work and give you deadlines and you just have to complete those writing tasks
within the deadlines given now the pay does tend to be a little on the low side
with these agencies but they can give you lots of regular work and it's a
really good way to get started if you don't already have some experience and of
course you can find permanent and contract remote writing positions on the main
job boards and on remote specialist job boards.
3. CV Writer/Resume Writer
This
is essentially rewriting people's CVS for them to help them get jobs or resumes
if you're in the u.s. there was a surprising amount of demand for this service
out there and there were lots of companies offering it and it's also a topic I
know quite a lot about because I used to write CDs as a freelance TV writer on
peopleper.com hour and this eventually
led to me starting my own business standard CV com I started off writing CVS
for 10 pounds per CV on paper per hour and gradually raised my rates of 100
pounds per CV and then I went on to build my own website and eventually was
able to build a full-time income and quit my day job and the reason I'm telling
you that is that I think there's lots of potential of any of these jobs if
you're willing to stick with them and dedicate some time and effort to them.
Now you might not want to start a business, particularly in the long run but it's
definitely possible to make some big changes to your income and to your lifestyle
if you stick with some of these jobs even if some of the starting pay rates
don't seem that impressive so the first thing you need to do to become a CV
rise it's obviously to learn how to
write a CV and luckily for you I have one of the biggest resources on the internet
for that so if you head over to standout CV.com. I've got lots of guides on there lots of
example CV templates etc that you can have a look at and you can hopefully
learn a good basic understanding of how to write CV from that and then once
you've done that you can perhaps offer to Reitman CVS for friends or family
just to get a bit of practice before you start looking for paid work so there
are a couple of ways you can get started working as a CV writer the first is to
sign up with one of the big US or UK CV writing companies like top CV top
resume but perceive ECT CV there are lots out there a few Google search for CV
writing companies you'll be able to find plenty you'll sign up with them and
they'll usually have some kind of entrance tests you'll have to provide your
own CV and perhaps some example series of other CV that you've done and then
once you sign up with them they will then assign you jobs and generally
speaking they will pay anywhere between 10 and 40 pounds per CV depending on
the types of customers they deal with some of them will want you to interact
with the customer directly and run for a consultation process to get the information
from them before writing their CV whereas other companies will handle all of
the customer interaction and then provide you with a brief and you will then
just have to return the CV to the company within a certain deadline unfortunately.
you can also provide CV writing services on some of the freelance sites I've
mentioned earlier like peopleperhour.com and Fiverr.com again it's a simple
we're sending up a profile advertising what you offer and then I would again go with the tactic of starting
with low competitive prices to get some early buyers in and then gradually
raising your rates as you start to improve your profile by getting more and
more feedback from happy customers and you might also be able to find some
remote CV writing jobs on the major job websites and also the remote job sites
as well.
4. Remote English Teacher
Remote
English teachers in countries like China and Russia there is a big demand for
English tutoring because a lot of parents out there want their children to
speak English so to fill this demand a big number of companies have popped up offering
English tutoring to people in these countries the job involves running online teaching
sessions with students and helping them to improve their English fluency via
interactions and tests and the work schedule can be arranged flexibly to work
around yourself and the students the requirements to do this job will require from
companies a company but of course
you
will need a good command of the English language some companies will also require
you to have a degree but certainly not all of them some companies want you to
have a TEFL certificate which stands for teaching English foreign language now
this could cost you anything from 100 pounds to a few hundred pounds and will
take you about a week or so to complete online depending on how you want to
take the course but again not all of them ask for this certificate and you
don't need to necessarily speak the customer language but of course that would
be beneficial the pay for this job will again depend on who you're working for on
average online English teachers earn anywhere between 11 to 19 pounds an hour to
land one of these jobs you just need to apply directly to one of these online English
tutoring companies, and just make sure that you're taking all of the requirements
that they're asking.
5. Data Entry Clerk/Administrator
Data
entry jobs are really straightforward you're simply helping companies to
process and store their data by taking it from one source and entering into
another so as an example of how this might work a company might have lots of
old customer records stored on paper somewhere and they need to move at the
times and get all of those records onto digital format there you might then go
and hire a data entry clerk to read all of those paper records and then move
them on to an online database or onto something even simpler like an Excel
spreadsheet to get started in data entry you just need to be able to read
information accurately and type a fairly quick rate on average data entry work
for UK firms pays around 8 pounds an hour but if you can start to move on to
slightly more complex data work like data cleansing and data analysis you can
start to push that towards 10,15 pounds an hour maybe even more depending on
the kind of work that you're doing Microsoft Excel is a really powerful one
popular tool for managing and processing data and you can learn lots of clever
things to do a bit on YouTube and if you can become with Excel you'll certainly
make yourself more valuable to employers in data rolls especially but also lots
of other jobs remote or otherwise the best way to get started in data entry is
to pick up small jobs on freelance websites and then start to build
relationships with the people that you work for and start to get some ongoing
work with them you can also find data entry jobs on the main job boards and the
remote job boards but they don't seem to come up as often so it might be a good
idea to set up some job alerts so that you get notified as soon as data entry
jobs.
6. Proofreading/editing
I
tell you earlier about writing jobs and I said that there are a lot of
businesses out there with websites who need lots of written content for their
sites well those businesses also need people to check that that writing is
correct and there are no spelling or grammar mistakes and in order to do this
they hire proof readers and editors to check the work and make sure it's
perfect before it gets published proofreading and editing obviously requires a
very good knowledge of the English language and good attention to detail a lot
of companies like their proof readers and editors too from writing backgrounds
so you could potentially start off doing some writing work and then gradually
work your way up build your experience and then look to move over into a
proofreading role or an editing role in the long run on average proof readers
tend to earn around 20 pounds an hour but that can be raised quite a lot if you
are for example working in a very high-paying industry or dealing with complex
subject matter such as scientific research or legal documentation to find
proofreading jobs it's best to look in the same places I mentioned for the
writing jobs because anybody who hires lots of writers is probably also going
to hire proof readers and editors too. Having a look at some of the big agencies
is probably the best bet and also on the remote sites and freelance sites.
7. Remote Customer Service
online customer service Now as you know customer service is a big part of most businesses and traditionally customer service agents will be based in offices or in call centers or directly on shop fronts and they will do things like dealing with inquiries handling complaints answering questions etc but these days a lot of businesses have a purely online presence or they simply want to save costs on offices and shops and things like that so this means that they're hiring remote customer service staff which is creating a lot more remote job opportunities. These jobs would involve all of your standard customer service duties so you might be answering questions over live chat or email or you might be providing technical assistance about certain products over the phone you don't necessarily need previous customer service experience to do one of these jobs but just having good communications kill and a good way of dealing with people will give you a head start in most cases these jobs tend to pay between eight to ten pounds an hour and you're going to find them all over the web on the main job web sites on the remote job board and another really good way to find these jobs is looking for big global companies that you know of and looking through their careers pages and searching for remote customer service jobs.
