In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in jobs where you can work from home, not just from individuals but from employers who are realizing there are benefits to creating roles that allow employees to work offsite. By 2028, 73% of all departments will have remote workers, according to a study by UpWork—and that finding came before COVID-19 forced companies to experiment with remote work on a broad scale. Both sides are realizing that in many cases, “you don’t need to be in the same geographic location as the office or even in the same time zone,” says Mark Silverman, CEO of Amava, a member website that connects people with work-from-home jobs and volunteer opportunities. Parents, caregivers, and people with chronic illnesses and disabilities are often in the market for work-from-home roles, as are people who are simply looking for more flexible hours or the ability to work from anywhere. Some of these roles are part-time and may require you to find work with multiple clients at once while others are full-time roles. Search Flexible/Remote Jobs on The Muse If you’re hoping to work from home, there’s a wealth of jobs available, requiring a variety of skills and experience levels—and many of them pay salaries comparable to full-time, on-site jobs. Here are 15 roles you should consider: 1. Customer Care or Member Service Representative Customer care or service representatives answer client questions, solve their problems, and help them with orders over the phone or digitally, and it’s one of the easiest work-from-home jobs to break into. Most entry-level reps earn about $12 an hour but more experienced reps average about $15.50 an hour, with an average hourly rate of $14. However, these positions aren’t as flexible as other work-from-home jobs. For instance, if your shift is 8 AM to 5 PM, you’re expected to be on call for that entire time.

Website Tester Website testers assess websites and web applications for quality and usability on multiple devices, including desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. Testers visit a website or use an app, complete a few tasks, and share their insights. They give honest feedback on usability and clarity as well as their engagement level with the content. The average hourly rate is $25. To find work, you can sign up with a number of sites including UserTesting, Userlytics and StartUpLift. 3. Online Educator Similar to traditional teachers, online educators provide instruction for specific subjects, prepare lesson plans, and monitor student progress. This position is perfect for anyone with a teaching degree and a specific skill such as fluency in a foreign language. You’ll teach a class via an online platform such as Zoom or Google Meet. Positions include not just kindergarten through 12th grade but college and continuing education in all subject areas. Most positions pay about $25 an hour but you could make as much as $100 to $200 an hour for one-on-one instruction. 4. Virtual Assistant Virtual assistants do everything from scheduling appointments to conducting research. Some positions focus solely on administrative tasks like maintaining calendars and schedules and invoicing clients while others require experience in copywriting and social media management. Positions pay an average of about $15 an hour but can go up to $20 an hour for candidates with public relations, writing and editing, and social media skills. Most virtual assistants work directly with several clients at a time. 5. Captioner Captioners transcribe pre-recorded audio and video, so typing quickly and accurately is an essential skill for this job. You can also sign up to caption live television programs, though many people who do this have also worked as court reporters and use a stenotype machine with a phonetic keyboard and special software to ensure accuracy. Captioners earn an average of about $14 an hour. You can sign up with agencies such as Rev and Upwork to find jobs or you can look for openings at specific companies such as Caption Media Group or CaptionMax. 6. Transcriptionist Transcriptionists listen to voice recordings and convert them into documents. Medical and law offices use transcriptionists to type out dictated notes from doctors and lawyers. Most firms require an understanding of medical terms and practices or legal jargon. Beginning transcriptionists typically make about $13 per hour, but more experienced transcriptionists often make about $20 an hour. 7. SEO Specialist An SEO (or search engine optimization) specialist analyzes, reviews, and implements changes to websites to maximize the number of people visiting the website and improve the site’s rank on search engines. Most positions require at least one year of experience and familiarity with industry SEO tools and techniques such as Google Analytics and website building platforms like Squarespace. Most SEO specialists earn between $13 and $27 an hour. Search Flexible/Remote SEO Jobs on The Muse 8. Online Therapist Online therapists provide mental health support in real time through digital platforms such as video conferencing, phone calls, or text messaging. You’ll need to have a master’s degree in psychology or social work and unrestricted license to practice online, so there’s an upfront investment. But there is increasing demand for telehealth services that connect patients and heathcare providers. Most online therapists make $18 to $40 per hour. 9. Proofreader A proofreader ensures written content is free of grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors. If you have attention to detail and are familiar with the AP Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, you can make an average of about $18 an hour proofreading for advertising agencies, websites, public relations firms, and textbook writers. This work is extremely flexible and can be done on your own schedule provided you meet the deadline for proofreading the document. 10. Survey Taker A number of companies will pay you to take surveys to give them your honest opinion about games, movies, consumer products, and general interest topics. Payment ranges from $1 to $20 per completed survey. There are a number of research companies you can sign up with to take surveys including 2020 Research. 11. Mobile Notary A notary public acts as a representative of the state to certify the proper execution of documents such as real estate transactions, powers of attorney, and prenuptial agreements. If you’re certified as a public notary, you can also get certified, bonded, and insured as a mobile notary. If you don’t feel comfortable inviting strangers to your home, you can offer to meet them at their office, a hospital, or other location. The average pay is $15 an hour but ranges from about $10 to $24 in most cases. 12. Virtual Bookkeeper If you have experience invoicing clients, running payroll, and managing accounts, you can easily find a virtual bookkeeping position by contracting directly with a local company or signing up with an agency such as Bookminders; many require a bachelor’s degree in accounting and knowledge of QuickBooks. Most virtual bookkeeping positions pay about $16 to $21 an hour. 13. Medical Coder This position will require you to become a Certified Professional Coder to accurately read a patient’s medical chart, analyze it, determine their diagnoses, and then categorize the diagnoses and medical procedures according to a national classification system that enables physicians to submit medical claims to insurers. The average hourly pay is about $18.50 an hour. You could contract directly with a local physician’s office or reach out to the American Association of Professional Coders or the American Health Information Management Association to find a job. 14. Marketing Consultant If you have experience in digital marketing or branding, you can help companies create coordinated campaigns using SEO, email marketing, social media, and more. Payment varies greatly from about $14 to $102 per hour for most work, depending on your experience and proven track record as a marketer.

If you have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field, completed a bootcamp program, or have other comparable programming experience, you could look for full-time job listings that offer flexible or remote work locations. The average pay is $12 to $44 an hour. Search Flexible/Remote Web Developer Jobs on The Muse A Few Quick Tips for Landing a Work-From-Home Job With an increasing number of people seeking flexible hours and roles, the application process is getting more competitive. There are also online scams posing as work-from-home opportunities that you need to beware of. Here’s what you need to do to land a remote job and avoid the scams: Apply Quickly The key to being hired for one of these work-from home positions is to apply as soon as the position is posted, says Charlette Beasley of Fit Small Business, a digital resource for small business owners. “It’s not unusual for 100 to 150 people to respond to an ad within the first hour it’s posted,” she says. Make Your Work-From-Home Skills Shine Employees who work from home need to be self-starters and highly motivated. So make sure that when you apply, you highlight those qualities and any other soft skills that show your ability to work independently, Silverman says. Call attention to your talent for keeping track of your own productivity and proactively asking for help, he says. For instance, your cover letter might say, “When I encounter challenges, I seek out solutions rather than waiting for the problem to solve itself,” and then include an example. Although many of the candidates who apply for work-from-home positions are caregivers and parents, there is no reason to focus on that fact when you respond to job postings, says Sharon Koifman, president of Distant Job, a remote recruitment agency in Quebec, Canada. Instead, highlight why you’re the best person to fill the role from the company’s perspective. “The reason companies hire remotely is because they can’t find the talent locally, they are trying to save money, or they are looking for someone who is exceptionally good at their job,” he says. So if you’re applying to be a web developer, your application needs to convey that you’re the best web developer they can hire and explain why, he says. For instance, your letter could say, “I’ve designed more than 50 websites for a variety of clients and I can turn projects around quickly with little oversight and direction.” Avoid Scams Before you apply for a position be sure that it’s a legitimate online job with an actual company. Even if it’s a company you’ve never heard of, you should be able to find information about the firm and look up reviews of the company online, Beasley says. In other words, you want to make sure the organization has a digital footprint beyond something they create themselves (like a LinkedIn page or website). Most importantly, you should never have to pay money to apply for a position or to begin a job, Silverman says. Make sure you understand how you will be paid and how often, he says. And trust your gut. If you think something doesn’t sound right, don’t move ahead with the position. Lisa Rabasca Roepe
