Anyone craving flexibility & passive income ⏳💸
My personal favorite and my current job! Blogging has too many benefits to name. Not only does it allow me to work from anywhere as a digital nomad, I can travel and work whenever I want. I go into detail about how to start a blog here. Do you dream of the ultimate flexibility that a stay at home job like blogging offers? The best part is anyone can start a blog as no experience is required. Blogging has ridiculously low startup costs and ridiculously high income potential. I know tons of bloggers who are making tens of thousands of dollars per month, and they never have to leave their couch! Despite what you might assume, you don't need to be tech savvy at all. Trust me- I run a blog, and I also break out in a cold sweat every time I have to download a new phone app. There is no denying that blogging is one of the best paying entry level jobs.
All you need to start a blog is a topic you love and are passionate about. Even a basic understanding of the English language is now superfluous with programs like Grammarly! I always say blog about what you can't shut up about, and believe me, you do have a passion. All you need is a smart phone or computer, and you can start a blog.
The first step is to get a self-hosted website, and I recommend BlueHost as it is by far the cheapest option and has fantastic customer service. The basic plan is a great start, and it's only $3 a month! I spend about 20 hours a week on my blog, and it involves researching content, writing posts, and promoting my blog. Blogging can be a fabulous part-time entry level work from home job. Learn the exact steps to start making money as a blogger here.
If you want to make thousands of dollars a month from home, I strongly recommend investing in a blogging course. I was able to start and grow my blog by taking courses that saved me YEARS of trial and error. By investing in a blogging course taught by an expert, you can use their fool-proof formula for quick blogging success and start making money. My favorite course is Perfecting Blogging by Sophia Lee. She is now making over a million dollars per year from her blog, and her course shares her step-by-step secrets for ultimate success. Without her course, I would never have been able to start a successful blog. After months of trial and error, I would have quit and gone back to my boring desk job.
Blogging is simple, cheap, and is a great entry level work from home job that allows you to focus on an area your passionate about. There is no limit to what you can blog about! Underwater basketweaving? The best cat cafes in the world? Advanced pickle ball techniques? You can start a high-earning blog with any of these topics! And seriously, how priceless is having no boss, no commute, and no one to answer to but YOU. Learn the exact steps I took here!

Organized multitaskers 🗂️
Stay-at-home moms 👶
People who enjoy admin & variety 📅
Just like becoming a blogger, this is an incredible entry level work from home job that anyone can do. That's because there is a demand for virtual assistants in any area you can think of from supporting content creators, proofreading, to checking emails! Whether you have special skills you can use, or none at all, you can easily get hired as a VA. All that's needed is adaptability and a willingness to work (from home!).

3. Get Paid to Answer Surveys
✅ Perfect for:
Total beginners 🚪
Students or anyone with a packed schedule 📚⏰
People who want to earn during Netflix binges 🍿
This is hands-down one of the absolute best at home "jobs". Taking online surveys could not be easier, and you can earn up to $50 per survey. Companies know that you, the consumer, hold extremely valuable information- your opinions about their product. They have a major financial motivation to know what you think, and they're willing to pay $$ to find out. You can answer surveys from anywhere, anytime. This is a legit side hustle, and you can start earning money as soon as today.
You want to make sure to sign up for several online survey sites to increase your income. One site simply won't cut it. I have thoroughly researched and vetted the best online survey sites that are legit and offer real money. With online surveys, you can work as much or as little as you want. Of course, no experience is required, making it a solid entry level remote job. Sign up for the sites listed below, set aside time daily to answer easy questions, and make money. It's that easy.
These are the top 10 highest paying sites I recommend:
4. Swagbucks (with a $10 sign up bonus!)
5. Valued Opinions (formerly OneOpinion)
*Pro-tip: Avoid scams when it comes to online survey sites! All the above sites have been vetted by me and you can trust they are legitimate. When looking into other sites, red flags include grand promises that don't seem realistic, requiring an upfront fee, and claiming you already signed up when you didn't. These sites should be avoided as they are more likely to be scams.
4. Sell Digital Products
✅ Perfect for:
Creatives & Canva lovers 💻
Side hustlers with an eye for design 👀
Anyone looking for passive income without customer service 🙅♀️
Are you creative, organized, or good with templates? Selling digital products might be a great entry level work from home job for you to consider. There are millions of ideas for digital products that you could create and sell right now, and it's not as hard as you'd think. Creating a digital product or template with Canva has never been easier. Canva is a fantastic company that has succeeded in becoming a very user-friendly and intuitive digital design that lets novices (like me!) create professional looking products with no head knowledge. It is free to join and creating is extremely easy. I use Canva regularly for my blog and find it very easy to use.
So what kind of digital products can you sell? The sky is really the limit with this one. I'd start by thinking about what you're knowledgeable about, you're passionate about, or simply products you wish you had. Some ideas include a monthly budget spreadsheet, home maintenance checklists, party invitations, weekly planners... the possibilities are really endless. It is easy to sell your products on a website such as Etsy (Hint: Visit Etsy to see ideas for types of products and templates you could create). You can start with small single page products and grow to full packets and binders depending on what you're selling. No experience is required, and this work from home job offers you the opportunity to let your creative juices flow.
Sara made $300k in 3 months selling digital products- here's her story!
There are numerous benefits to selling digital products that you don't see with selling physical products. First, you don't need any materials, a storefront, or product liability insurance. Second, the potential to scale sales is astronomical compared to brick and mortar stores. You can sell an infinite number of products without need for additional supplies, employees, stores etc like you would if it were a physical product. Third, two words- passive income. After you make the product one time, your work is done! You can sit back, relax, and watch the money roll in.
5. Start an In-Home Daycare
✅ Perfect for:
Stay-at-home parents 👩👧👦
People who genuinely love kids 🧸
Those wanting a high-earning job from home 💰
This is a fantastic way to make money from home. Are you a stay a home mom? Then you are already watching kids at home- you can easily start an in-home daycare and get paid for watching your own kids! Or do you just love kids and want to work from home? An in-home daycare might be right for you! This could be a part-time work from home job or a full-time job depending on your preference. Your hours are completely up to you. The amount of children you want to watch is also entirely your choice, it can be as few as one or two.

How to get started: First, look up any special licensing that might be required by your state or local municipality. Depending on where you live and how many children you plan to watch, special licensing might be required.
Second, get qualified and ready! It's best if you have CPR certification and/or some experience with children! However, neither is required to start. Make sure your home is safe for children of all ages. For example, if you have a pool, you will need to secure it before having any children to your home. Check out your local thrift store for toys, books, and other things to create a fun environment for the kiddos.
Third, get clients! This might be your best friend Nancy's two children or your coworker's child. Ask your friends, family, and neighbors if they'd have any interest in an at-home daycare. Contact your local Sunday school, and put up flyers at your local preschool! You'd be surprised at what a popular option this is! Especially given the exorbitant cost of childcare these days. At-home day cares are an extremely affordable option for many people, and they can often offer a more enriching environment for children. Research typical childcare costs in your area to find out an appropriate hourly rate. The best part about an in-home day care is that you are paid per child, not per hour, making this a very lucrative job. If you charge $15/hour per child, that's $45 an hour if you watch 3 children! With that in mind, this can be one of the best paying entry level jobs.
6. Work in Customer Service from Home
✅ Perfect for:
People with a friendly voice or helpful attitude 🙋
Those who don’t mind phone or chat support 💬
Night owls or weekend workers 🦉📞
Do you have that special hospitality gene? Do you live for helping others? Do neither of these statements apply to you, but you know how to work a phone? Then customer service might be the right move for you! The customer service industry offers so many options when it comes to high-paying remote jobs that don't require any prior experience.
Examples of types of customer service jobs include:
- Work for Amazon
- Working as a chat support agent
- Assisting clients and customers over the phone
- Offering technical support
- Working as a virtual assistant
- Working as a travel agent
- An so many more...
A simple google search will show you hundreds of opportunities that are entry level in customer service. Because you are helping people virtually, you can do this job from home and the hours can be very flexible. You can easily find opportunities to work part-time, evenings, weekends, whatever you'd like!
7. Become a Bookkeeper
✅ Perfect for:
Detail-oriented introverts 📈
People who love spreadsheets or numbers 🧮
Career-switchers looking for high pay & remote stability 💼
Bookkeeping is a tried and tested career field offering flexibility and high pay. Often confused with a beekeeper, a bookkeeper is someone who keeps track of the finances ("the books") for small and large companies alike. Bookkeeping is a fantastic online work from home job, and you can get started now. According to Glassdoor and Ziprecruiter, the average annual salary is over $50,000. You won't start out with this kind of pay, but you can expect to earn around $10,000 per year for every 3-4 clients you acquire.
*In pop-culture: Skylar White of the renowned show Breaking Bad was a bookkeeper, and so was Jane Chapman of the critically acclaimed Big Little Lies.
No formal credentials are required (including no degree!), but many employers do like to see them. These include Certified Public Bookkeeper and Certified Bookkeeper. Either certification is acceptable and will not make a difference when seeking employment. Familiarity with programs like QuickBooks is needed, in addition to being organized and reliable.
I recommend starting with an introductory course or contacting your local community college.
Once you have the credentials, you can work from anywhere. Your virtual clients (aptly called "portables") can follow you to the ends of the earth. That guided hike to Mordor you've been dreaming of needn't wait!
8. Sell an Online Course
✅ Perfect for:
Educators at heart 🧑🏫
Passionate people with a teachable skill 🔧
Anyone who loves scaling their income 🚀
Is there anything that you love to do and teach people about? What about something you find that most of your friends and peers don't know much about? There might be an opportunity for you to create and sell an online course. From cooking to crocheting to cricket, there is a demand for an online course. I've seen online courses on some pretty obscure topics. If you're passionate, educated, or talented at a certain skill, you should consider creating an online course.
The first step is deciding what your course should be about. Again, this will be highly individual and can really be about anything you like talking about! In order to make money from an online course, you have to create value for your future customers. If you can make life easier, simpler, or better for someone else, people are willing to pay. With this in mind, start brainstorming what unique skills, knowledge, or passions you have that you can use to help improve the lives of others.
Next, pick a platform. I think Thinkific is by far the best online course platform, which is why it is considered the gold standard for online courses. If you look at online courses the influencers you follow are selling, chances are they are using Teachable. Teachable will help you build, price, and market your course. Do you have multiple ideas? Create multiple courses!
I won't mislead you- creating a course is a lot of work upfront. It will take time to plan the content, structure, script, and then of course filming and creating the actual course. However, selling an online course is perhaps one of the most high paying forms of passive income. Just like creating a digital product, once you create it, you're done! Aside from minor tweaks and updates, there is no work left for you to do other than watch your bank account grow and grow. Also similar to digital products, it is easy to scale sales so you can make a massive profit! To create a course you don't need any prior experience or education, making it a solid and legitimate entry level work from home job.
