Earn Money by Home
So today I'm going to cover 13 work-from-home jobs that don't require a college degree or much experience and none of the jobs that I'm going to mention. Today is going to be these boring mind-numbing jobs like completing surveys, data entry, customer service, or anything like that. I also made sure that my list has something for everyone.
Some of these jobs don't require any experience but still pay relatively well and then other jobs on my list are careered that you can get into that can lead to six-figure salaries. But these of course will require a higher skill set but you can learn these skills relatively easily online.
So lets started
- Project Coordinator
- Social Media Coordinator
- Executive Assistant
- SALES
- English Teacher
- Graphic Designer
- Video Editor
- BookKeeper
- Virtual Assistant
- Transcriber
- Content Writer
- Community Manager
- Translator
Let's set the scene for your average everyday office job.
Scenario
- Work from Office
- Work from Home
Work from Office
You wake up it's 6: 30 am. You get out of bed and start to get ready for the day. You leave the house to start your hour-long commute into the city and you get to the office at 8: 30 to begin your day of work all day. You're tired stressed and your co-workers won't stop distracting you. You want a break but you can't get one.
I mean what are you gonna do get up and just walk around the office. You count down the hours until the end of the day until you can leave and begin your hour-long commute again on your way home. When you finally get home you get to enjoy just a little bit of time for relaxation before going to bed exhausted knowing that you have to do the same thing tomorrow. This doesn't sound too great, does it?
Work from Home
But let's imagine another scenario you wake up it's 8 am you're feeling well-rested you get ready and then walk over to your home office to start the workday. You can do your work on your schedule and you're more productive because you have fewer distractions at any time. You can take a break maybe go for a walk around the park or do some home yoga.
You finish your work and have plenty of time to relax and spend time with your family and friends. I'm guessing that if you read this article then you're liking the sound of the second scenario much better I've started working from home in the last year. So and I can honestly say that I'm never going to go back to an in-person job again.
There are just so many benefits from working from home and it works a lot better with my lifestyle. If you're looking for your dream work-from-home job then one thing that might be hurting your chances is a lack of work experience.
1. Project Coordinator ($50-$60K)
This is the job that I have currently and that I've kind of just started into right after I graduated college. But the starting salary for this position is like $50 to $60k. So as a project coordinator you take care of the different projects that your company gets from the clients.
That they have this includes things like making budgets for projects maintaining those budgets to make sure we don't go over and also just making sure that the client relations are staying good. This is a really solid job to have and it leads to a really good long-term career that has a lot of growth potential in it. To land one of these jobs, it is probably best that you do develop some sort of experience relative to the field.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you need to go out and find a job related to it. Though there's a certification you can get from the project management institute called the CAPM certification. This certification consists of 23 hours of training plus an online exam. The training plus exam does total about 700 dollars but it's well worth it for the career.
You can get from it and quite honestly if you do land a job as a project coordinator and you do a good job in that role you can easily be making six figures in several years.
2. Social Media Coordinator ($40-$50K)
The average starting salary for this position is forty to fifty thousand dollars. Social media coordinators are responsible for tasks such as
- Planning and Scheduling
- Content across Platforms
- Creating copy and Graphics for posts
- Engaging with the audiences on social platforms through responding to comments
- Answering questions or DMS that might come through and monitoring the performance of these socials
This then leads to brainstorming new ideas and implementing new social campaigns with virtually every business trying to grow its social presence. This is a job that's in quite high demand most of the time honestly and it can be quite a fun job. If you're serving for the right company.
This is another one of those jobs with fantastic career growth potential and you can make well over one hundred thousand dollars in a higher-level social media manager position at a large company.
3. Executive Assistant ($40-$70K)
The average entry-level salary for this position is around forty thousand dollars. Whereas if you have more experience it can get upwards to seventy thousand dollars. Executive assistants are responsible for managing the schedules and communications of company executives duties include,
- Prioritizing emails and phone calls
- Gathering documents for meetings
- Coordinating travel arrangements
I went on LinkedIn and found this job description for a remote executive assistant position for a media company based in. The description says that you would be assisting two vice presidents at the company with organizing meetings and communicating with clients and other teams the skills and experience requirements are also very minimal mostly just soft skills.
Being a self-starter and communicating are the only hard skills. I see are Google suite and Microsoft office which most people either know or can learn pretty easily through youtube videos.
4. SALES ($30-$100K)
The salary range for this one is of course very large because it just depends on how successful you are at selling your company's product. You can make anywhere from thirty thousand dollars up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If you're the best in your company from my research I found that most positions will offer a lower base salary plus commissions which are supposed to make up the majority of your income. Let me first just clear up a big misconception that people have about sales jobs and salespeople in general.
So I think that that traditional salesman picture is just an outlier and after talking to all these salespeople that I ended up meeting. I did learn that sales are lots more than just cold-calling people all day. You don't have to be cold calling like 300 people a day. To do well in sales, the best sales positions that you'll find are business-to-business sales.
So you're selling your company's products to other businesses that will benefit from it. Instead of selling to individuals that are more likely to get angry at you for calling them randomly that being said this job is not for everyone for me. Personally, sales are one of the absolute worst jobs.
I can imagine but that's just honestly my personality type it just doesn't fall within the salesperson category. But if you're extroverted or even very extroverted then this job could be perfect for you because of the high earning potential.
5. English Teacher ($45-$50K)
The salary for this position is around forty-five thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars for full-time work. You don't usually need to know complex grammar rules like when to use a semicolon, versus, a comma and things like that most. Online English teaching jobs are actually for students where English isn't their native language.
So this job is more like teaching basic English speaking for example I found this job on LinkedIn for an English tutor. The job is remote and lessons are held virtually on google me where you'll have an hour-long conversation with students from the middle east on topics such as food and travel.
6. Graphic Designer ($35-$50K)
The entry-level salary for these positions is around thirty-five thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars. It can vary quite a bit what graphic designers do in design. Any visuals that a company might need these include,
- Logos
- Product
- Packaging
- Infographics
- Social Media images and Video Editors
- Work with content creation teams to turn raw camera footage into great-looking videos
You donate a degree or previous professional experience working in these positions to land an entry-level position. However what you will need is a strong portfolio and expertise working in software like adobe creative suite for graphic designers, and adobe premiere pro, final cut pro for video editors.
These softwares are easy to learn through youtube videos and practice and there are so many good courses for like $10 on udemy that will teach you how to use them at a higher level. Overall these jobs are really good for you if you have a creative eye and you can forge a whole career out of it and have the potential of making a high amount of income as you get more experience.

8. BookKeeper ($30-$45K)
The next job I wanted to talk about is joining the national bookkeepers Association(NBA). The entry-level bookkeepers make around thirty thousand dollars to forty-five thousand dollars. Bookkeepers handle an organization's general ledger by,
- Recording transactions
- Producing financial statements and
- Checking financial records
For accuracy employers will most of the time want bookkeepers to have some sort of? After high school education but you still don't need to have much experience and they will give you a lot of on-the-job training and if you're serious about becoming a bookkeeper then you can increase your chances of finding a high-paying bookkeeping job by getting the bookkeeper certification.
Which is accredited by the national bookkeepers association. This involves taking an accounting fundamentals course and then passing an exam all online and this all costs under a thousand dollars.
9. Virtual Assistant ($16 per hour)
The next job I want to cover is a really interesting one because you don't need any experience to get one of these jobs I'm talking about becoming a virtual assistant. The position will usually pay hourly and the average rate is $16 per hour. The responsibilities of a virtual assistant will vary considerably but in general, you're handling the easy day-to-day tasks of a business.
The pros of becoming a virtual assistant are that the job is usually very flexible with working on your schedule and another pro is that you don't need any experience but there are some cons one being that this job is usually paid on an hourly basis.
So your employer will usually not offer health insurance a retirement plan and other benefits it's also not the type of career that can make you substantially more money the more experience that you get. So your payment is usually capped on the lower side regardless if you have much experience.
10. Transcriber ($35-$70K)
The average starting salary for this position is about thirty-five thousand dollars a year and with more experience, this can increase up to around seventy thousand dollars a year. Transcribing is the process of listening to an audio recording and then writing it down. What was said on your computer?
Some businesses that require transcription services are those in the,
- Medical Industry
- Police
- Legal Depositions
- Reality tv interviews
You will need to be quite proficient at typing to get this type of job. Since the application for most transcription companies will involve a test for your typing and accuracy. So overall this is a really good job for someone with no professional experience who uses a computer often and can type fairly quickly.
11. Content Writer ($50K)
The salary is around $50,000 a year. For this job content writers create longer-form text and companies hire them to educate inform or increase brand awareness and drive traffic to their website. I found a cool work-from-home content writing job for Forbes magazine. The job description says that you would be writing a minimum of six stories a week in the home and kitchen space.
The type of content includes writing things like best lists reviews and news stories. So overall I think that this could be a really enjoyable job. If you found a role riding in an industry that you're interested in.
12. Community Manager ($55K)
The starting salary for this one is around 55,000 a year. Community managers are responsible for moderating and organizing audience members of a brand or organization across social media groups slack channels online forums and other communities. Typically you'll be doing things like,
- Answering questions
- Moderating discussions
- Adding or removing people from groups
This is another good option if you have no experience whatsoever. Since all you need is good writing skills and knowledge of social media.
13. Translator ($21 per hour)
The pay is around $21 an hour for this position and of course, this is only a good fit for you if you speak more than one language. One translation job I found on LinkedIn was from a company called kelly looking to hire interpreters for a few different languages. The advertised pay is $17 an hour plus a few benefits such as a bonus and a holiday pay plan.
You can choose to work part-time or full-time. So overall this is quite an easy flexible job if you're lucky enough to know more than one language. So those are all the jobs that I found for you guys. Today and if you're interested in learning more about how to land your dream work-from-home position and how I did then.
