If you want to make money online from home, now is the perfect time to start.

There are multiple ways that you can legitimately make money from home. Firstly, remote work has become the norm for many companies, so if you want the flexibility that can allow you to become a digital nomad while having the security of a job with regular, weekly pay, there are plenty of opportunities for you to do so.

But, if you'd rather work for yourself and have complete ownership of your hours and income, then you can make money with your own online business.

In this article we are going to take a look at both options - working online as an employee, and working online as a small business owner. We’ll also go over any necessary qualifications in addition to potential pay so you can choose the opportunity that is best for you.

Let’s dive in with the list.

33 legit online jobs that pay weekly

We've split these money-making opportunities into categories - let's start with customer service.

Customer service & support roles

Companies of all sizes and ages will always need people to fill customer service & support. Great customer support is essential for reputation and customer loyalty, and many companies hire customer support representatives to work from home, around the clock.

If you like working with people and problem solving, a role in this area can be a great fit.

1. Remote customer service representative

While this might sound like the most boring job, being a remote customer service representative today is much more dynamic than call center work of the past. Startups and innovative businesses offer exciting opportunities for representatives to provide support and educate customers about their products.

Plus, this job often has less requirements than other roles, making it excellent for those just starting out or those looking to completely pivot their careers. Customer service representatives will focus mostly provide support on audio or video calls rather than chat.

Requirements:
Professional speech and presentation, stable and fast internet connection, extensive company and product knowledge, strong problem solving skills

Potential weekly pay:
$500-700 base, reaching over $1000+/week including bonuses or incentives

2. Chat support agent

For those who’d rather type than talk, chat support is a viable option to earn weekly income online from home, albeit without as much income potential.

While some companies are engaging customers with AI chatbots, this can often be a good thing for you. AI can warm up clients with simple questions and offer up solutions to easily-solved problems, while you spend time chatting with those who need more personalized support.

Requirements: 
Good typing skills, problem solving capability, well-versed in the company and its products

Potential weekly pay:
$400-$700 weekly

3. Technical support specialist

If you’re more technically inclined and want to use these skills to earn more money online inside of a customer support role, becoming a technical support specialist can be a great fit for you. 

To carry out this role, you’ll need a good base understanding of technical concepts and how to explain them simply so normal people can understand. Companies will often provide extensive training to get you up to speed as well, so once you have a comprehensive knowledge base, this role should be fairly easy yet engaging.

Requirements:
Understanding of basic tech concepts, troubleshooting skills, ability to explain technical issues in simple terms, patience and sympathy

Potential weekly pay:
$600-$800 base with the potential to earn over $1000-$1200/week or more with incentives and a more technical skill set

Data entry & administrative jobs

Not everyone wants to work directly with customers on a daily basis. Working with data and administrative tasks allows you to step back and work with information and systems rather than managing sometimes unpredictable human interactions.

4. Virtual data entry specialist

If you want a steady job that has no need for constant customer interaction, data entry is a reliable option for getting a weekly income from the comfort of your home.

While basic data entry starts at a modest rate, specialists who go beyond spreadsheets and learn industry-specific software or handle complex data can earn much more.

Requirements:
Fast and accurate typing, attention to detail, fluency in Excel and other data management tools

Potential weekly pay:
$500-$600 to start, up to $1000 for specialized work

5. Appointment setter

Appointment setting might sound like a basic job, but in this time of a distributed specialized workforce, people that help communicate with interested potential clients to set appointments with the company shot-callers have taken on an essential role.

This role is quite different from simply dealing with customer service issues and is more growth-oriented. So, while being an appointment setter might mean a higher level of responsibility, it can also be more rewarding and has the potential for higher pay that often includes commission.

Requirements:
Professionalism over voice and video calls, ability to creatively follow scripts while sounding natural, ability to effectively qualify clients

Potential weekly pay:
$500 base plus commission, with the potential to earn $800-$1200 a week or more in total

6. Virtual assistant

Much VA (Virtual assistant) work might be outsourced to lower-cost overseas labor, but there is still a market for companies seeking more qualified domestic talent for higher paying roles in this field. 

Being a virtual assistant is a highly flexible role, with tasks that can span everything from basic task execution to customer support.

Entry level work can be quite modest, but the more you specialize, the more you’ll be able to earn. Additionally, if you freelance on a flexible schedule, you can have the potential to work multiple jobs at once for increased income as a VA by creating your own VA business.

Requirements: 
Strong organizational skills, ability to follow SOPs and carry out tasks independently, familiarity with project management tools, basic marketing and social media knowledge is a big plus

Potential weekly pay:
$300-400 to start, specializing can mean $500-$800 or more

Content creation

Now we come to some roles that can see you working for another company, or working for yourself. There are plenty of businesses who look for in-house content creators, and just as many who outsource their content creation to freelancers.

If you chose the solo-route then your pay will be more spread-out at first. But once you fully establish your content creation business, there's no reason you wouldn't be bringing in money every single week.

7. Content writer

Gone are the days of low-cost content mills ranking in search engines. Today, with the prevalence of AI writing tools, companies who want quality content with a human voice and specialized knowledge are seeking writers to fill the much-neeeded role of producing valuable content.

While AI is much more prevalent, great writers are still in demand. Do this right, and you’ll remain relevant and command high rates and get paid from the comfort of your home with a job as a content writer.

Requirements:
Strong writing and editing skills, ability to research accurately, basic SEO knowledge and topical authority is a huge plus

Potential weekly pay:
$500-$800/week, can earn over $1200-1500+ as a specialized or technical writer

8. Copywriter

You might be wondering the difference between content writing and copywriting. Content writing educates and engages, while copywriting persuades and sells.

Writers who can craft words to represent a brand’s voice and presence or to increase conversion throughout all steps of the customer journey might find copywriting a more attractive role to fill. Unlike basic content writing, copywriting has the potential to pay much more per word.

It’s important to build a portfolio as a copywriter complete with case studies that show a strong ROI if you want to compete and earn as much money as possible. As with just about every other job, specializing in a certain niche like health or ecommerce will pay much more.

Requirements:
Understanding of customer and reader psychology, strong persuasive writing, ability to craft compelling headlines and call-to-actions, ability to be concise yet persuasive

Potential weekly pay:
$600-$1000/week, up to $1500+/week with specialization and incentives

9. Social media content creator

Creating winning content specifically for social media is nowhere near as simple as it once was. With companies, influencers, and public figures all vying for the attention of viewers who are increasingly capricious, the demand for competent individuals to create winning social media content is as strong as it’s ever been, if not stronger.

You can still leverage AI to make content and make money in your job or on your own, and additionally, many companies are specifically looking for individuals that know how to effectively combine the sheer production capability of AI with the human touch and curation to resonate with audiences.

Requirements:
Expertise and familiarity with multiple social media platforms, up-to-date with current trends, basic image and video editing skills, can resonate with and engage audiences 

Potential weekly pay:
$400-600 to start, $1000+ possible as a specialist or working multiple jobs

10. UGC creator or manager

User generated content (UGC) might be a newer field, but it is now solidified as a mature category of its own that stands as an attractive alternative to the now-diluted world of influencer marketing. You can make money getting a job either as an individual creator or someone that manages UGC talent.

The great thing about making money UGC is that there’s no need for a large following - all you need is authenticity. As a creator, you will need to focus on producing relatable content that resonates with and persuades a target audience, while managers will focus on the brand-level interactions and curating creators that are a good fit.

Requirements:
Content creation skills, strong understanding of a specific brand’s voice and target audience, ability to empathize with the customer and create authentic content

Potential weekly pay:
$400-$600+ as a creator, $800-$1500+ as a manager

Hot tip: You can earn money creating content on Whop. With Whop, you can clip content for Whop with Whop Clips, or clip content for other creators on Whop with Content Rewards.

Plus, you can offer your own content creation services (and training for other content creators) with your own whop.

Here are some more resources about earning as a content creator:

Education

Long gone are the days of the classroom or a physical space being the only place to learn. Online education continues to grow year over year, meaning the market for it is incredibly ripe for those that want to enter it as a tutor or instructor.

Again, you can work for a tutoring company like italki or VIPKid, or, you can work for yourself by creating your own online tutoring business.

11. Academics tutor

One job that will remain in demand as long as people are in school is academic tutoring. Even with AI advancement, students will still benefit from the insights, topical knowledge, accuracy and sympathy that comes with a human tutor.

Additionally, companies and parents are willing to pay premium rates for specialized tutors with proven academic track records who can deliver results. So, if you have a past of excelling in a certain subject, you can make money from this skill with a flexible online job as an academic tutor

Requirements:
Strong knowledge in specific subject areas, ability to assess student capabilities and teach accordingly, good presentation

Potential weekly pay:
$400-500 initially, $1500 or more if specialized

12. English teacher

If you grew up as a native speaker of English, you already have a big advantage as someone who already has a monetizable skill by teaching this language. Today’s online English teachers don’t necessarily even have to learn the language of their target audience and can earn a solid weekly income from wherever they want to live.

There’s a strong demand especially for Chinese children looking to learn English, with companies like VIPKid making it incredibly easy to get a job as long as you are a native English speaker holding a four-year degree. Even if English is your second language, you are likely to find a job with a company targeting people from your country looking to pick up the language.

Requirements:
Native-level English fluency and pronunciation, clear speaking voice, reliable internet connection and basic teaching skills. A TEFL certification can boost earnings and open up more opportunities.

Potential weekly pay
$300-600+ per week

13. Language instructor

While English is perhaps the biggest and must useful language category, there’s an entire world of other languages that have exploded in learning demand for numerous reasons including travel, relocating, or cultural enrichment.

Earning a good weekly pay will be based on the demand and the utility of your language instruction. For example, teaching Mandarin for business or Japanese for travelers can both prove to be lucrative niches in the language instructing field. Working as a freelance instructor is often easier in terms of getting regular work, with many platforms today making it easy to connect with potential students.

Requirements:
Fluency or a high level of proficiency in target languages, cultural understanding, ability to create engaging lessons. Matching language to practical use cases is a huge plus.

Business development

While traditional business roles used to require being in an office, more opportunities than ever today are opening up for skilled professionals who can help drive growth remotely.

These roles can pay quite well, with many approaching or within the six-figure range.

14. Consultant

Traditional consulting used to mean working in-person, but in recent years following the pandemic, working remotely has become accepted or in some cases even the norm in this field. It’s possible to get a steady salary with one company as a remote consultant, but some experienced people who want more flexibility and freedom end up starting their own consulting business.

Requirements:
Proven expertise in specific business areas, ability to identify and solve complex problems, strong presentation skills, history of delivering measurable results

Potential weekly pay:
$1000-2000 per week or more if specialized

15. Product manager

Product management has shifted dramatically from the days of needing to be physically present for every meeting. Today, remote product managers are increasingly popular, with some roles allowing the flexibility to work completely from home.

This highly active, fast-paced role requires strong problem solving and the ability to direct and follow through all while creating and maintaining timelines. It’s well known that this can be a great role in terms of pay and work/life balance, so it can be quite competitive to land a remote position as a PM.

Requirements:
Experience seeing products through from concept to launch, strong remote team coordination skills, data analysis, working with stakeholder and C-level timing and needs.

Potential weekly pay:
$1200-2000+ per week

It’s particularly commonplace in Web3 and other progressive businesses to have a community manager. Since most community managers work exclusively on online platforms, the nature of this role is totally remote.

Being a community manager isn’t quite as simple as it sounds, and although it requires mostly “soft” skills, companies will still need you to deliver results and maintain metrics such as customer retention and average order values in addition to overall satisfaction.

You could even create your own online community and sell access to it, rather than working for another business.

Requirements:
Experience with community platforms, strong communication and conflict resolution skills, create and enforce community guidelines, analysis of growth and retention metrics

Potential weekly pay:
$600-1000 weekly

17. Inside sales representative

Inside sales has moved quite far from the old-school in-person boiler room environment to a role that can be done entirely from home. Unlike outside sales where you meet clients in person, inside sales can be all about closing deals remotely.

Potential weekly pay:
$500-800 base plus commissions, top performers can clear over $2000 per week

This role has become increasingly important as companies realize the value of having specialized team members focused solely on filling sales calendars with quality prospects.

In most cases, you don’t have the pressure of doing the actual closing as a call setter - you simply need to effectively screen leads to bring only the most qualified so you can hand them off to the key decision makers to easily close the deal.

Requirements:
Professionalism and confidence on calls, ability to screen and qualify leads, CRM experience

Potential weekly pay:
$500-800 base plus commissions or other performance-based incentives

19. Lead finder

In order to succeed in this role, you need to be a thorough researcher that is able to also use data and potentially automations to help sort through publicly available information to identify and verify potential opportunities for sales teams to pursue.

Requirements:
Strong research skills, familiarity with lead generation tools, CRM, comfort working with data and potentially automations

Potential weekly pay:
$600-1200 per week

Requirements:
Good speaking voice, follow scripts while sounding natural, drive to hit ambitious quotas

Potential weekly pay:
$400-600 base with potential bonuses

Research & data collection

Many companies are seeking skilled employees to handle complex research, analysis, and verification. These roles are perfect for those who are detail-oriented and prefer working solely with information without needing to constantly interact with customers.

21. Online researcher

If you have a knack for diving deep to find unique insights that are hidden well below the surface of Google, you can potentially thrive in the remote job of being an online researcher.

The great thing about this role is the high degree of autonomy it often provides, meaning that you can often take on multiple projects at once to increase your earnings.

Requirements:
Strong analytical and fact checking skills, excellent organization and reporting capabilities, ability to dive deeper to find insights beyond basic search engine queries.

Potential weekly pay:
$500-$1500 per week

22. Survey taker

While this is more of a side hustle than an actual job, survey taking is perhaps some of the easiest online money you can make today. Some opportunities might sound too good to be true, while others might not seem like they’re worth the pay, so it’s important to have a good list of good resources or apps that provide a legitimate path to making money as a survey taker.

Requirements:
Fit a certain demographic, attention to detail, finding legitimate survey platforms

Potential weekly pay:
$100-300 per week

23. App tester

The mobile app market is continuing to grow, so companies are always recruiting real users who are willing to test their apps before launching. The vast majority of jobs as an app tester can be done entirely from the comfort of your home.

The key is finding these opportunities–a good chunk of the recruiting for app testing is done within smaller circles, so be sure to network with the right individuals if you want to score one of these flexible roles.

Requirements:
Ability to follow instructions, provide detailed feedback, report bugs or other user experience issues

Potential weekly pay:
$300-600 per week

24. Bookkeeper

Requirements:
Fluency with spreadsheets and accounting software, organization and attention to detail, maintain client confidentiality

Potential weekly pay:
$800-1200/week or much more if handling multiple clients

Creative

If you’re artistically inclined and don’t want to take on a corporate role, the good news is that not only are there roles that will pay you for your capabilities - a large number of them can be done as remote jobs.

Or, of course, you can work for yourself as a creative freelancer or contractor.

25. Graphic designer

Despite the flood of AI design tools, companies still need skilled graphic designers with the skills to relate to branding needs and specific requests. Additionally, these AI tools have actually opened up more opportunity for creative individuals who can now generate concepts without much technical know-how.

Requirements:
Proficiency in design software, understanding visual hierarchy, adherence to brand guidelines, portfolio of work

Potential weekly pay:
$400-800+ per week, potentially more with freelance work

26. Photo or video editor

Requirements:
Experience with professional editing software, storytelling ability, adherence with brand guidelines and styles

Potential weekly pay:
$500-1000+ per week

27. Voice over artist

Voice work has become increasingly accessible to do from home, and while demand isn’t quite as widespread as other types of creative work, if a client is happy with you, job security can be quite good.

Your work in this field can span anything from audiobooks to corporate training videos or bringing animated characters to life. Having a portfolio of previous work that showcase your range and strengths is necessary before you go about landing work.

Requirements:
Excellent and dynamic speaking voice, diverse portfolio, home recording setup, audio editing skills is a big plus

Potential weekly pay:
$400-1000+ per week

28. Copy editor

Text content production might be at an all-time-high, but with much of it being soulless AI, companies are on the lookout for editors that are able to ensure quality and consistency of voice.

Additionally, fact-checking has become increasingly important for any company that wants to preserve its reputation as a reliable resource.

Requirements: 
Excellent writing skills and grammar, strong attention to detail, adherence to style guides and brand voices, accurate fact checking

Potential weekly pay:
$500-800 per week to start, senior editors can make $1500 per week or more

Not every public facing figure is a good writer, so a large majority of them outsource their words to ghostwriters that help them sound polished, professional and persuasive.

The rise of AI writing has actually increased the need for ghostwriters that can help produce a human voice that stands out by creating authentic voice amongst competition that might be using predictable or canned phrases. Ghostwriting work can span everything from tweets to LinkedIn posts all the way to full on books.

Requirements:
Strong and adaptable writing ability that can match to a specific voice and style, research skills, flexible with tasks and deadlines

Potential weekly pay:
$500-1000 per week is typical, while earning over $2000 weekly is possible if working with high-profile individuals

Here's everything you need to know about creative roles:

Technical

Technical work has potential for generous pay, but success today requires adapting and brushing up on marketable skills while keeping up with the fast-paced advancement of both technology and demand.

30. Web developer

Even though there are many people turning to user-friendly platforms that can build websites with ecommerce capability, there’s still steady demand for remote web developers today.

In fact, demand for well-rounded and highly skilled developers is perhaps even stronger as more individuals and companies realize that there are many things that need to be customized outside of the capabilities of no-code tools and builders.

Requirements: 
Strong foundation in frontend development, some backend is a plus. Good eye for design, problem solving skills

Potential weekly pay:
$800-1200 to start, with the potential to earn over $2000 per week with steady clients or employment

31. Software engineer

Software engineering is a step above in terms of requirements compared to web development, but it can also pay significantly more even with less hours, making it a highly desirable remote role.

There are many paths you can choose when it comes to becoming a software engineer, including specializing in backend systems, mobile app development, or custom integrations. In modern times, there’s more importance on actual abilities and a project portfolio compared to formal education credentials.

Requirements:
Proficiency in in-demand, versatile programming languages (Python, C++, Java, Solidity), understanding of software architecture, excellent problem solving abilities

Potential weekly pay:
$1500-2000 to start, can earn over $3000-5000 per week if specialized

32. AI Prompt engineer

This newer role has emerged as companies realized that even though AI is highly accessible today, it can actually be quite hard to get it to perform tasks as expected. Additionally, since it’s so new, there’s no need for formal credentials as long as you have proven results.

Requirements:
Extensive experience with different LLMs and AI tools, ability to break down complex tasks, practical application and integration with best business practices

Potential weekly pay:
$800-1200/week to start, while in-demand specialists can earn significantly more–up to $3000

Roles within this field are highly flexible and have a ton of long-term growth potential, so if you’re skilled in this field, the job security is basically unmatched.

Requirements:
Security certifications or a degree in the field, understanding of network security, ability to monitor and respond quickly to any incidents

$1000-2000 per week to start, specialists can earn upwards of $3000-4000 weekly

How to get an online job with or without experience

Getting a job that you can get paid weekly from the comfort of your home is entirely realistic, but it can be quite intimidating especially if you don’t have prior experience or much credentials.

The good news is that several of these jobs listed, such as working in a remote call center, as a survey taker or English teacher, require little to no experience. So, as long as you find the opportunity, you can start your online money stream as soon as you want.

Additionally, many other of these work-from-home jobs don’t require formal education, so you can self-educate either by studying on your own or by joining a specialized community so you can quickly gain hands-on experience and become a viable candidate.

Here’s a quick list of actionable tips you can use while on your remote job hunt to maximize your odds of success:

  • Identify which of your current skills translate to remote work–start by asking if you can work your current position remotely, and if not, can you use the same skills in a different, fully remote role?
  • Build a portfolio that highlights your achievements that were all done remotely
  • Join industry-specific online communities where remote jobs are frequently posted
  • Leverage your existing network to see if there are remote opportunities
  • Consider starting as a freelancer so you can gain paid experience, and eventually if you want to you can transition to a more stable, full-time remote role

Do all online jobs pay weekly?

Not every online job offers weekly payments. In fact, payment schedules can vary quite a bit depending on the type of work you’re doing, and who you’re working with. Many jobs will follow the traditional biweekly payment schedule, while others might pay Net-30 or Net-60, meaning that your payday could mean waiting 1-2 months.

So, if you do land a remote job that also pays weekly, consider it a massive privilege.

Freelancing can give you the ability to determine when you’ll be paid, and if you’re working with several clients, you have the potential to get paid multiple times a week or even daily. 

Or, you could pick up an online side hustle that you can use to supplement your work until you potentially scale your way to a full-time income (or even replace your full-time role).
