Sharing is caring!
When it comes to work-from-home jobs, the possibilities are endless. Over the past 10 years, technology has allowed more and more tasks to be performed remotely. And more and more companies and contractors are turning to work from home job opportunities due to increased flexibility and reduction in costs – for both sides.
If you are in the market for a work from home job, there are several categories to consider and companies that may be hiring as we speak.
With today’s technology, almost all accounting activities can be performed offsite. Accounting positions often require a degree. Many bookkeeping positions are entry-level and more along the lines of data entry of receipts and invoices.
AccountingDepartment.com has virtual jobs available in many areas of accounting and bookkeeping. The experience and training required will vary by position.
ClickNwork pays financial analysts up to $150 per hour to complete economic papers and company profiles. High-level experience is required.

Bookminders allows their accountants to work from home. You will need a four-year degree and at least five years of experience. A car is also necessary for meeting with local clients.
When you see ads saying “work from home for Google,” quality rating is perhaps the only opportunity that is legit though you won’t be contracted by Google directly. The below companies hire contractors to rate the legitimacy and quality of search engine results and ads and report back to search engines like Google and Bing. The work is only part-time and you may experience an ebb and flow in workload and most companies have a non-compete that will prohibit you working in the same capacity at another company. But the good news is these companies won’t ask you to pay for some training booklet like those scam ads.
Appen hires Web Search Evaluators and Social Media Evaluators to work flexible, part-time schedules up to 4 hours a day (5 days a week). This is an entry-level position so required experience is minimal.
Lionbridge periodically hires Internet Assessors for contractor work, and you must complete an assessment before being offered any projects. Their pay information is confidential.

Customer Service – Chat & Email
Work-at-home chat jobs are extremely coveted. You will rarely see them pop-up and the competition from applicants is high when they do. Because of that, I’m simply listing the company name and what they call the position. Keep an eye on their job boards.

There are a lot of unique gigs that you may find interesting.
Pierce-Eislen, for example, hires remote workers to call and get information about apartments that are available for rent. And they don’t even care if your kids can be heard in the background.

Take some time to see what’s over there and what they have to offer. WorkPlaceLikeHome.com is one of my favorite places to get feedback on opportunities. You may even end up with a full-time work-from-home job with benefits! (I’ve added notes for anything unique)

Tutoring
There are several ways you can go with online tutoring.

If you want to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) to adults, that may not be necessary. Either route you take, tutoring can be a great side hustle as there’s high demand in the evenings and on weekends.

The Best Place to Find Even More Work from Home Jobs
If you’re looking for traditional work, you can always go to the traditional job boards (like Indeed, Career Builder, and Monster) and search for jobs using keywords like “remote” and “telecommute.” You can also search for industry-specific job boards online and see what kinds of ads are posted there — and how frequently.
You can read blogs like this one, where I write about all the different work from home jobs I can find. I also share hot job leads in my email newsletter, which is great because it means the job ads come to you instead of you having to go find them. But if you rely on sites like mine, you’ll know about the great jobs out there but you’re potentially up against some steep competition when it comes to landing them.
If you want to zero in on the best work-at-home jobs, I highly recommend one source:
FlexJobs is absolutely where you want to be if you’re committed to finding a work-at-home job. Yes, you can find legitimate job ads on the job boards. In fact, the job boards that require a fee to post an ad are most likely to be legitimate, because many scammers aren’t going to pay money to operate their scam.
But if you rely on those, you have to spend more time, dig deeper, and sift through all kinds of results that may or may not actually be relevant to what you want.
With
FlexJobs, you can bypass all of that.
