– You probably already know
that working an online job has major benefits, like
flexibility in time and location when you're working. But did you know that online jobs can pay more than your
average 9-to-5 office job? Today, we're talking about 10
of the best legit online jobs that pay well. (light upbeat music) Hi, I'm Marissa with DollarSprout. Here at DollarSprout,
we share money videos to help you feel educated in all aspects of personal finance. In today's job industry, working online is far more popular thanks to the digital era, as well as the great benefits
that come with working online, like flexibility and pay.
Now, I probably don't need to convince you that working an online job is
a great way to earn an income. So, today, we're talking
about online jobs for teens, college students, stay-at-home moms, or anyone else looking
to earn an online income. And if you wanna learn
more about these jobs and other opportunities, check out the blog post in the
description box down below. The first work-from-home
option is blogging. If you like to write on a certain topic, then blogging could be a
highly profitable online job. Now, the pay definitely varies. You can make anywhere from $1
to $10,000 or more a month. DollarSprout also has a
blog, which you can check out with the link in the description box, and it was started by two college buddies and now my friends, Jeff and Ben. They were both interested
in personal finance and Jeff wanted to
eventually leave his day job to work online full-time. Almost four years later, they both run DollarSprout
full-time along with a team. Blogging is a real job
that moms, dads, students, and regular people like
you and me have used to make money on a part-time
schedule working online.
Blogging can definitely take
time to grow and make money. It usually takes at least six to 18 months to start making money from blogging. The fun thing about
blogging as an online job is that you can choose a topic that you're truly passionate about. As long as you enjoy what you're doing and what you're sharing in a blog, the opportunities are virtually limitless. There are four main ways that
you can make money blogging. First is with advertising
and putting ads on your blog. Next is with affiliate marketing, where you get paid a commission for any products that you
sell via links with your blog.
You can also sell digital products like your own ebook or courses. And you can sell your services, like working one-on-one with
people through coaching, with your blog as the
platform to generate leads. If you wanna get started blogging, check out our link to HostGator in the description box down
below to set up your site. Another work-from-home job
is as a social media manager.
If you love being on social media, look into a online job
as a social media manager and put that time online to good use. This online job could be a great
option for college students and can pay between $15 to $40 per hour. Managing a business's social media is similar to managing your
own social media platforms. You have to be active
and also interactive, which means replying to
comments and messages and staying engaged. Local business are great
places to find online jobs as a social media manager. Rather than sending an email
that may never get read, visit a local business
to introduce yourself. If you have a talent for writing and can find clients who need content in a niche that you understand and enjoy, freelance writing could
be another legit way to make money from home.
You can make about $50 to $500 per article with freelance writing, and it's a great online
job for stay-at-home moms and college students to look into. You can start on a job-post
platform like Fiverr, but you won't make a ton
of money from these jobs. You can search for freelance clients by spending an afternoon looking
up local business websites to see if they have any need for content. Some local newspapers still
hire freelance writers on a pay-per-article basis. If you like spending time
at local events anyway, you could end up finding some
nice writing jobs this way. Another way to find freelance online jobs is to join blogging Facebook groups or content writing groups. Once you've received more
experience in freelancing, you can begin to raise your prices. The fourth work-from-home option is to become a drop shipper. With this online job, you can make between $25 to
$500 or more per item sold, so they pay can definitely fluctuate. Now, the profit margin with drop shipping isn't as high as if you
were stocking and shipping your own physical products, but this online job has the benefits of being completely hands off.
With drop shipping, you
can set up a storefront on a platform like Shopify
and list out your products. Then you can have the orders
shipped directly to a customer from the supplier. This is an amazing option for anyone looking for an online job because it allows you to dabble in sales, never touch the physical
product during a transaction, and earn a good income while you do it. A great online job, especially for moms, is to become a virtual assistant. You can make between $19 and $25 per hour with this online job. Becoming a virtual assistant to an already-established online business is honestly one of the best
online jobs to get into quickly. There are many different tasks that you can do as a virtual assistant. You can help a business
with things like scheduling, customer support,
administrative assistance, email marketing, and more. To become a virtual assistant, it's great to learn as much as possible to help each client
out in any way you can. Once you've built a small client base, you may find that being
a virtual assistant will keep your schedule full, all while making a great hourly rate.
If you have an eye for design, then becoming a graphic designer can be a great work-from-home
job opportunity. You can make between $25 to $50 per hour and you don't need to have
a degree in graphic design to land some online jobs in this industry, although it certainly wouldn't hurt to have that education and credentials. Businesses need someone
with graphic design skills for all types of projects,
like creating printable sheets, announcements, ads, or Pinterest images. Having a skill in graphic design is definitely in high demand
among bloggers and businesses to help glean fresh
traffic to their website. If you know how to use tools
like Canva or PicMonkey and have an eye for design, this can be a really fun
and profitable online job, even great for college students who are studying graphic design and looking to earn
extra money on the side. The next online job is becoming
a bookkeeper or budgeter. You can make around $20 to $60 per hour with this work-from-home job. Budgeting and bookkeeping
are pretty similar, but typically budgeting
relates more to an individual and bookkeeping is more for a business. If you love personal finance yourself and have found a method
to keeping a budget to reach your financial goals, you actually could make
money sharing your tips with other families.
If this is an online job
you want to get into, consider marketing your
budgeting consulting services on Fiverr, social media, or
your own services website. You can also market your
skills to businesses and offer bookkeeping services
to manage business finances. Start by joining local Facebook groups to offer your service to local businesses or even visit them around town. Once a relationship is formed and you're growing a client base, much of your time spent bookkeeping can be done online at home. It's no secret that teachers
aren't always paid the best, but there are a lot of additional
moneymaking opportunities that teachers can take advantage of, and one of them is being a tutor. As a tutor, you can make around
$14 to $22 or more per hour, and it's honestly pretty fast money. You can find local
clients to begin tutoring or you can even sign up for
an online tutoring website to teach remote. An online company that a
lot of people use is VIPKid. You don't necessary need to be
a teacher to work with them, but you do need some sort of
qualifying teaching experience, even mentoring, as well
as a bachelor's degree.
You can make between $14
to $22 per hour with VIPKid by teaching English remotely
to students in China. If you wanna learn more about VIPKid, check out the link in the
description box down below. Teens are also able to make money online. A great work-from-home job for teens is becoming an online seller. With this work-from-home job, you can make between $40 to $60 on average per box of items sold. If you have extra clothes, shoes, toys, and gadgets hanging around
that are no longer of use, get them sold. And if you learn that you
love this type of online job, you can expand it from
selling your own things. Try scouting local yard
sales, flea markets, and Facebook selling
groups for great deals. And when you do find an
item at a steep discount, simply list it on a site
like Decluttr for a profit.
This can be an online job
that can make you money and is also a pretty fun hobby. If you're quick with a keyboard, then an online job that
can be great for you is becoming a transcriber. With this work-from-home job, you can make between $10 to $36 per hour. By becoming a transcriber,
you will translate audio files into text documents for clients. You do need to have some quiet time set aside for this online job, so it could be great for
stay-at-home moms during nap time. There are a lot of transcribing
companies out there that you can sign up for. The highest-paying are Rev,
GoTranscript, and Speechpad.
They're a bit harder to get accepted into than other companies that pay less, but they are totally worth the wait. If you've never worked
an online job before, then the thought could be a little scary and you may doubt the legitimacy. But really, it is possible to find a trustworthy and profitable
work-from-home job. Simply start by brainstorming your favorite hobbies and talents, and find a job that
complements those well. There are so many opportunities out there to make money from the
comfort of your own home. If you wanna learn more about
