The coronavirus pandemic promoted teleworking around the globe, causing it to come into the lives of many employees to stay, therefore, there are more and more opportunities for people to carry out their work from anywhere in the world.
In this context, it is not surprising that there are many who want a remote job to be able to carry it out from the comfort of their home, while earning a salary. As Adecco assures, this type of online work “does not usually require previous experience” , although the remuneration they have is “very basic” , so if you want to get a noticeable salary at the end of the month, it is most likely that several of these jobs have to be performed at the same time. However, despite the remuneration, from this human resources company they emphasize that these jobs are “quite simple”, in addition to not being necessary to travel to any office and it will be the worker who decides the working hours.
1. Micro work
The person who carries out this job will have to perform small short online tasks that are paid with some money . These are jobs that involve logging on to a company’s website and selecting tasks, such as simply clicking on a link. A good example of this micro work is the site called Amazon’s “Mechanical Turk”.
These jobs are also available in the online marketplace services and the workers will offer short tasks for a fixed fee ; while buyers browse the market to find people who offer the services they need.
Job opportunities include crowdsourcing projects, in which companies hire an “army” of virtual workers to perform a small part of a larger project.
“Because the fee is so small and the task takes so little time, the goal is to do as many micro jobs as you can . However, you should be aware of the payment policies. Many companies have a minimum subscription and, if you do not reach it, you will not receive your money until you do”, they explain from Adecco.
2. Virtual jury
Digitization has reached all fields and also those of the legal profession. In this sense, the lawyers, when preparing a trial, create virtual juries to know the answers they will obtain in the real session. However, not everyone is a good fit for this position, as attorneys look for people who match the profile of potential real-life jurors and will ask applicants detailed questions.
“Remember that you should not reveal your Social Security number or provide your bank details. If you opt for this type of online work, try to register with several companies to increase the probability that you will be selected as a virtual jury ”, they maintain from this company.
3. Data recording
Data entry is constantly growing in the world of online jobs. Therefore, there are companies that hire people for data entry projects that tend to focus on basic general transcription , although additional experience is sometimes necessary.
4. Tester of web pages or apps
To carry out this job it is not necessary to have great digital knowledge , since on many occasions, the developers of these websites or apps look for beginners.
Therefore, in these jobs, the worker is asked to take tests based on their demographic profiles, such as education, web knowledge, age and use of social networks. After carrying out these tests the testators will be asked questions or assigned tasks such as making comments online.
The evaluations usually take between 15 and 20 minutes and the testator can earn 10 euros , an amount that is delivered once the client approves the worker’s comments.
5. Search Engine Checkers
This online job requires experience such as a university degree or having languages (although it is not exclusive), so the remuneration is higher. The function of these workers is to examine the search results on the Internet and offer comments “on whether they are accurate, relevant and free of spam,” they explain from Adecco.
To carry out this work, the evaluator must know the current culture of the Internet, as well as have good communication skills.
6. Corrector
This job is dedicated to those people “lovers of letters and grammar” , so it will be important to pass a test before being hired or even have previous experience.
7. Virtual nurses
These people will perform the same functions as an office assistant but from home. Tasks typically include filing and maintaining records, scheduling appointments and events, and answering calls .
