8 work from home jobs anyone can start now


 I'm going to show you

eight 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 to have lots of

previous experience or qualifications

and I'm also going to show 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 that 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

nine-to-five all together they're also

really good for people with full-time

commitments such as parents and carers

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 with this video is

really just to show you a number of work

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 now before I dive into

this list of work from home jobs

I just want to outline what I'm going to

cover in the video and in particular

what I'm going to cover about each job

and I've also put links in the

description below the video that you can

use to jump to any of these sections if

you want to 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 watching 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

Moute 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 and there's gonna be

lots and lots of links in the

description to link through to some of

these resources that I'm gonna be

mentioning so make sure you open that up

and while you're down that way if you

wouldn't mind hitting the like button

not only does it help out the channel

but allows you to save the video in your

likes videos because there's a lot of

information in this video and you'll

probably need to come back to it a later

day to review and if you stick around to

the end of the video 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 is

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 a

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 over time

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 so

let's start looking at these jobs then

the first job on this list is a 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 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 so the work can be

really varied by I would class the

skills needed as general office skills

so knowing how to use Microsoft Word

Microsoft Excel or Google sheets and

Google Docs and then those kind 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 here 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 in

your 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 and I'll put a link for in the

description below now the amount of

money you can earn as 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 for 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 so how do you get a job

as a virtual assistant well probably the

easiest way to get started as a VA is to

sign up to a freelance website and start

offering some services that youĂ­ve

already have some experience in or the

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 and I can actually make

a whole video on that if you'd like me

to so if you do want me to cover that in

another video in more detail please drop

a comment below 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 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 a 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 the 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 and I'll put links to those

websites in the description of course of

course whenever you're applying for any

job online you need a good strong CV to

make that right first impression so if

you need any advice around that then

obviously I have lots of CV advice

videos on the channel and I've also got

lots of the templates resources examples

on the standout CV website again link

will be in the description the next work

from home job on this list is a really

popular one in the world of remote work

and that is writer and this can be

broken down into three categories

article writer copy writer and CV writer

so let's take a look at article writer

first now article writing involves

writing relatively short articles or

even blog posts for websites websites

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 copywriters 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 so 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 people per hour

like 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 and

of course the links are in the

description for those ones I've

mentioned previously and the third type

of writing work from home job is CV

writer and this is essentially rewriting

people 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 topic I know quite a lot about

because I used to write CDs as a

freelance TV writer on people per 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 because 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 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 comm links will be

in the description of course 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 Reitsma

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 preceive 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 I'm not hiring a standard

CV at the moment if I ever am I will of

course an outtie here on youtube you can

also provide CV writing services on some

of the freelance sites I've mentioned

earlier like people per hour like Fiverr

comm 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 of course 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 the next

job on this list is a remote English

teacher in countries like China and

Russia there is 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 I will of

course put links in the description and

just make sure that you're taking all of

the requirements that they're asking for

before you apply the next job on this

list is data entry now our 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 1015 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 right

here 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 come

out the next job on the list is

proofreading and editing so I spoke

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 so have a

look at some of the big agencies is

probably a best bet and also on the

remote sites and freelance sites to the

next job on this list is 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 in 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 so

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 communication

skills 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 so that brings me to the

end of the jobs list but before I wrap

up this video I just want to show you a

couple of things that you should really

avoid when looking for remote or work

from home jobs number one is

get-rich-quick schemes now if you're

doing your own research when you're

looking for work from home jobs and

you're going to be on the site so I've

showed you which is absolutely a good

idea because I'm sure there are plenty

more out there then you may find that

you come across some dubious offers from

shady-looking a site saying things like

become a millionaire overnight by

trading Bitcoin or earn thousands of

dollars a day we

any prior experience I'll have to tell

you as a general rule of thumb if it

sounds too good to be true it probably

is

and if you sign up for something like

that it will usually be some kind of

scam where you're asked to pay a lot of

money for a piece of software or a

course that will apparently help you to

generate lots of money a short space of

time but the reality is it probably

won't work and it will actually leave

you in much worse financial situation

than you were before you started and

that brings me on to the second thing

that you should avoid when you're

looking for work from home jobs and that

is paying money to the employer if

you're applying for a job and the

company is asking you to pay them for

the privilege of working for them then

that is a huge red flag it even just

means that the company are very

unprofessional I'm doing very well

financially or at worst they might be

trying to profit from job applicants so

if a company asked you to pay them even

one penny I would walk away instantly

now there may of course be instances

where you're required to have a

qualification or some kind of background

check that needs to be paid for but

really that should be paid to the

external body that run those things and

not to the employe
