As someone who prefers to work from home, I love learning of new remote jobs that pay well. This is 2018, and we are far past the beginning of the age of virtual offices and virtual work in general. It is now more possible than ever to work from anywhere and find remote jobs from home.

I use to work for an employer who was a 100% virtual office.

Now I work from home part time while having to go into the office some days a week. It isn’t bad, I can’t complain, but I do agree more with the idea of a virtual office. Not only for the company saving money but for the employee saving money as well.

The problem with most of the open postings online for remote jobs from home is it is hard to sift through what is legit and what isn’t. However there are legitimate sites you can visit tailored to specific work from home professions or online work from home jobs and postings.

Pin it for later!

15 Remote Jobs That Pay More Than $15 Hourly

You can find freelance work online through Fiverr or Upwork. Check job sites that include the remote option in their search such as Indeed, Glassdoor, etc.

There are also sites and resources that will hire you to teach online, become a virtual assistant, transcribe, or even perform medical work such as coding. Not all of them pay well but I found quite a number of ones that do.

I love FlexJobs  and heavily recommend this site for finding remote jobs. They guarantee that every single job posted is 100% legitimate. I know I can trust this site because not only was my own experience seamless but they also have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Feel weary for paying for a service like this? Don’t be! They have a money-back guarantee if you are unhappy with your experience on the site. Sign up today and get 50% off.

You will also be able to find opportunities on FlexJobs for each and every remote job mentioned below.

1. Online Teacher

As most online teaching jobs require you to already have a bachelor’s degree, Magic Ears does not. You can teach online with Magic Ears and work from anywhere you want since it is through their online teaching portal. Be your own boss, no degree required. (Updated 12/8/2018: They now require a bachelors degree or above)

If you are in school to become a teacher, this is perfect experience for you on top of the $26 per hour you will be making for your time. Making less as a tutor already? Ditch that and sign up for Magic Ears!

If you are in graduate school and already have your degree, it might be worth checking out VIP KID for a worth while side hustle. You would be teaching English online and getting paid up to $22 per hour. An added bonus is there are no lesson plans or grading to stress over. You get to work from home or anywhere and pick your own hours.

Check it out here to see if you qualify!

Pay rate: $22 – $26 per hour

2. Virtual Assistant

Virtual assistants perform an array of different job duties. I know some virtual assistants that focus on social media management and marketing, some that perform site maintenance and content management, some that focus on general admin tasks, and some that specialize in Pinterest management and marketing. You don’t have to be fluent in all of those tasks to become a virtual assistant though. You can specialize in one service or a couple. The more capable you are the more money you will be able to get though.

If you have a good understanding and some background in content management, html, social media marketing, etc, then you can end up making quite a bit per hour as a virtual assistant.

The best way to find virtual assistant openings  is to do some research online (search through several job sites that might have some remote openings) and also engage in virtual assistant Facebook groups. It is all about who you know anyway, right? 😉

Pay rate: $15 – $40 per hour

4. Web Designer/Devloper

In the beginning of my career as a web engineer, I was at a job that I was not happy at. I quit that job and instead went the route of working as a remote freelance web developer. Which actually paid off for me.

I found a company that was willing to pay me $100 per hour, part time, to help them with a couple of their WordPress sites and other sites (fix bugs, add new functionality, etc). So as you can see, if you have the necessary experience, web design/development is a great remote job opportunity.

Github is a software company that allows many of its employees to work remotely. They have regular openings for techy savvy positions like developers, engineers, designers, analysts etc. as well as some customer support positions. Per Glassdoor, most Github positions provide a salary of over $70K per year.

Pay rate: $20 – $100 per hour (depending on experience)

5. Customer Service

If you have experience with customer service, I suggest looking at Remote.co for remote customer service rep opportunities. Indeed is another great site for finding remote customer service opportunities. I see Amazon on Indeed always hiring for this kind of position.

Another great resource for finding these opportunities is NexRep who hires customer service reps and outbound sales agents as independent contractors. Your work involves making and receiving inbound and outbound calls then handling email support.

Pay rate: $20 – $25 per hour

6. Transcriptionist

Want to get paid $25 per hour just for listening and typing? If you are a great note taker and pay good attention to detail, taking on an online gig as a transcriptionist might be perfect for you. Check out TranscribeAnywhere for more information on how to become a transcriptionist!

If you can’t stand it when you see the usage of “your” in an online comment, when it should indeed be “you’re”, then an online proofreader could make a suitable side hustle idea.

9. I.T. Support

I have been in I.T. for about 8 years now and believe me when I say, I am so thankful I chose a path with so many remote opportunities available. I worked with the VA remotely for an entire year, making decent money and only had to see my coworkers once a year at a conference.

Even now working remote 50% is perfect for us and our life. Working in I.T. has given us the flexibility we need for work/life balance. Plus, not spending tons on gas and parking each week is great for our budget.

I have found most of my past remote opportunities in I.T. on Indeed, FlexJobs, and Glassdoor. Also Linkedin is a great resource as I often get recruiters who reach out to me for these type of opportunities to see if I or anyone I know is looking.

Pay rate: $15-60 per hour (depending on the role)

10. Medical Coder

What a medical coder does is abstracts clinical information from a variety of medical records and assigns appropriate ICD 10 CM and/or CPT codes to patient records according to established procedures. You do not need a college degree for this type of work and actually most of the remote medical coder jobs are looking for people with a high school degree or equivalent work experience.

Bonus idea for remote work:

Start a blog or podcast.

Starting a blog can be a great way to work from anywhere you want where you can be your own boss and make your own hours. Not sure how to make money blogging? Well it is a little bit of a long term commitment that requires a lot of work but it is 100% worth it. I know a handful of successful bloggers that make far more than $15 an hour. Much more in fact.

It has almost been a year since I bought my domain and I only work on my blog about 10 hours a week as I do it on the side of my full time job. If I could dedicate myself to it as a full time gig, I could easily replace my day job income. I am still working up to that though.

You don’t need to have an established blog that has been around forever either in order to make money blogging. I started making money my first month of blogging.

Anyway, I am telling you anyone can make money online by starting a blog and you can blog about whatever you want. If you are more of a talker, a podcast might be right up your alley.

Do some research before to get a feel for what topics get more traffic and potentially can make more money. Search and brainstorm some strategies and make sure you have a plan to look before your leap! I have seen some crazy niches make an insane amount of money though.  If you love writing, telling stories, giving advice and reviewing the products you love then a blog might be your think. Check out How To Create A Self Hosted WordPress Blog. If you sign up for Bluehost with my link you get a free domain, free site builders, free 1-click WordPress install, 24/7 support and all for only $2.95 a month! You really can’t beat that deal.

Affiliate marketing is where I earn most of the money from my blog. This is thanks to the Making Sense Of Affiliate Marketing course. When starting your blogging venture, this course is an absolute must.
