10 Jobs You Can Do From Home — With No Experience Needed

You want to jump into the world of remote work, but you don’t have any formal experience in any of the fields you’re interested in. Maybe you just graduated. Maybe you spent years as a caregiver.

Whatever the case, you’re now googling “remote jobs no experience,” and it seems like you’re not qualified for anything.

But there are plenty of jobs you can do from home with no experience. Making money from home doesn’t always mean you need a degree or years of experience. You just might need a little help understanding your options.

This is why we’ve rounded up this list of the best work-from-home jobs with no experience requirements.

But before you jump into your job search, take time to understand what relevant experience you do have — it’s probably more than you think. And when you realize that, you’ll be able to communicate more effectively with hiring managers.

Here are remote jobs that require little or no experience (entry-level jobs).

Keep in mind that "no experience" doesn't mean these jobs will necessarily be easy to get.

Also, the fact you don't need prior work experience doesn't mean the companies listed won't require you to have specific skills.

There is a distinct difference between having a certain skill and having past work experience with something. So keep that in mind while you're browsing the list. Some of the options on the list will mention the skills needed. 

To determine whether or not you have the skills they're looking for, some companies listed below might test you. And even though you can apply without experience doing the work, experience will always give you a leg up on the competition. It's very hard to get editing work without experience. I was only able to turn up a few companies below based on what's on my website.

1 - Textbroker - They do allow some of their writers to take their proofreading test to begin proofreading articles. This is a very hard test to pass and I believe you have to be at least a level 4 writer there to even qualify to take it.2 - Proofreading Services - This company doesn't have any experience requirements on their hiring page. However, you do have to take a test to prove that you'd make a good proofreader before they hire you. The hiring page will hire people with the right skills. Doesn't say anything about experience.

3 - Babbletype - The team at Babbletype is looking for native English speakers only for transcription editing projects (which kind of goes without saying for most of these companies), and is open to newbies.

4 - Proofreading Pal - To work for this company, you need to have a college degree or be in the process of obtaining one. However, you don’t necessarily have to have the work experience that many proofreaders have. The website claims that editors can earn anywhere from $500 - $3,000 per month.

5 - Scribbr - While this website does say you need a bachelor's degree plus some "experience editing academic texts," it appears that editing your academic papers in college may count as experience, so give this one a try for sure.6 - Shipt - Get paid to be a personal grocery shopper. You take orders whenever you want via the Shipt app, go get the supplies needed by the client, and then get paid weekly. You do not need any personal shopping experience to qualify.

7 - Instacart - This company offers a personal shopping service similar to Shipt (above). This is flexible work. The work involves picking up orders, getting the items from the store, and then delivering them to people who have orders in.

8 - DoorDash - US only. Earn up to $25 an hour delivering food orders to people. Keep 100% of your tips and set your own schedule.

9 - Chatdesk Expert - Chat Agents. Contract - Work when you want. Chatdesk Experts are freelance customer support agents who help ecommerce companies provide the best customer support across social media, email, SMS, and chat. No prior customer service experience required.

10 - SiteStaff - This company occasionally hires remote chat hosts. Their website says nothing about needing prior experience. I don't think they always have openings, and it's an independent contractor position. When you're on their site, a chat box will appear asking if you have questions. Don't use this box to ask about employment because you will get a canned response explaining they don't answer questions about jobs on their live chat.

11 - Drips - Has an occasional work at home opening for salaried, full-time chat room operators. Candidates are needed for all time slots. You must have past customer service experience to qualify for the role.

12 - Dion Data - You can work at home doing data entry for Dion Data, a company that has been around for  a long time. They say on their hiring page they provide the training you would need. Unfortunately, this job is not open very often but do keep tabs on the hiring page.

13 - Sigtrack - This is a site frequently accepting data entry keyers to put in voter registration data. Some of my readers have done this in the past and as you might have guessed, pay is not great. You most likely won't earn minimum wage. But if you are interested in doing it for extra income, it is legit, although like many of the companies listed above, there aren't always openings.

14 - Cambly - Anyone can sign up to tutor people in English or Spanish. There are no requirements other than being fluent in the language you're going to teach there.

15 - iTalki - You don't need any ESL tutoring experience to do get started on iTalki as a community tutor, but you will if you sign up to be a "professional teacher" there.16 - Brainfuse - No past tutoring experience required, but they do require a four-year college degree to qualify to tutor for them.

17 - Tutor.com - This is an entry level work from home job, no tutoring experience is needed. But you'll have to either have, or be working toward, a degree to qualify.

18 - Studypool - This is an online platform for homework help. As a Studypool tutor, you're paid to provide homework help to students who need it.

19 - Paper - Frequently hiring remote essay review tutors. This is listed as starting off at $15 hourly. Must have undergraduate degree or be in process of completing this.20 - Measurement, Inc. - You must have a 4-year college degree (of any kind) to qualify to become a reader/evaluator for essays. No prior scoring experience needed.

21 - WriteScore - This is seasonal work from home essay scoring. You don't need prior experience, but you do need to have at least a two-year college degree. Note there is usually a wait list to work for them. But the website does let you easily add yourself to it.

22 - ACT - ACT is often looking for "readers" to score student writing tests. To qualify for this job, you must have a bachelor's degree or higher, have U.S. citizenship, resident alien status, or be authorized to work in the U.S. ACT also prefers current teaching experience and experience teaching high school English to juniors and seniors.Most of the customer service positions are going to want you to have prior customer service and/or call center experience.

Remember that even if you've done something outside the home involving customer service (cashiering, etc.) this can still count as past experience.

Also, many of these companies offer more than one work from home position, so the required experience might vary depending on what they have available.

23 - Alorica - Many customer service positions that are remote are open at any given time. Also, many of these require little to no past experience in customer service. What they have available changes, so just keep tabs on their jobs page.

24 - LiveOps - It's possible to get hired here without any prior customer service experience. LiveOps is much more focused on your skill set rather than your past work experience.

25 - NexRep - This company is often hiring for a variety of different customer service and sales positions. There are no prior experience requirements listed on their website or on their application for employment.

26 - Sitel - This virtual call center states on their careers page that prior customer service experience is preferred, but it doesn't say required. So it may be a long shot, but you could give this one a try.

27 - Sykes - Sykes doesn't list any past work requirements that I can see on their website, so you may be able to get a job here if you've never done customer service work.

28 - U-Haul - This is another with "preferred" call center experience listed. You may still be able to get hired if you don't have it.

29 - Working Solutions - This company does not list any prior call center or customer service experience on their jobs landing page, just some preferred skills they want you to have.

40 - Westat - They occasionally hire for work-from-home data collection. Experience isn't necessary, they will train you to do the job if they decide to hire you. Choose the "Telephone Data Collection" option under the "Career Area" dropdown to see if they have openings for this. You'll have to scroll down through the options to see it -- it is the last one listed under "Career Area."

Search Engine Evaluation

These jobs can pay well and generally don't require past experience doing the work. You will have to take a test to prove your skills.

Some of the companies will say on their requirements that you need a college degree, but many people do end up getting hired without that.

41 - TELUS - They have lots of little jobs you can do here apart from just search engine evaluation. As with most of these companies, this is flexible work you can do on your schedule.

42 - Appen - Flexible schedule, must commit to work at least four hours a day. Other crowdsourced task work may be available in addition to search evaluation.

43 - Welocalize - Lots of ad evaluation and other crowd worker jobs. This is a newer company.

Transcription

Many general transcription companies are no experience needed jobs, but you will most likely have to take a transcription and/or typing test to prove your skills.

44 - TranscribeMe - Very low pay at $20 per audio hour, but you can qualify for a higher rate if you have medical or legal transcription experience. You can work whenever you want and they pay via Paypal45 - Rev -  Work whenever you want doing transcription even if you don't have experience. They pay weekly via Paypal. As is the case with most transcription companies that accept beginners, pay is on the low side.

46 - Tigerfish - This company has been around for a long time and will consider beginners for work. However, a transcription skills test is required prior to acceptance (most companies make you do a skills test).

47 - Quicktate - Quicktate has long been known for hiring transcription beginners. Pay isn't fantastic, but if you can pass their transcription test, you can start working.

48 - Way With Words - Open worldwide. Work from home doing transcription for Way With Words. They may up to $57 per audio hour. Note this is not the same as a regular hour, considering that one hour of audio can take you 2-3 hours to complete. They prefer people with experience.49 - Gengo - This is a big pool of freelance translators. You will need to take a test to get listed here to be eligible to take work, but it doesn't look like you have to have past experience.

50 - Language Line - They are frequently hiring work-from-home interpreters for various languages. You have to have some pretty specific skills, but it doesn't look like you have to be an experienced interpreter to qualify

Virtual Assisting

Most companies that hire many virtual assistants are more interested in your skill set rather than whether or not you've worked as a VA before.

This is because virtual assistants almost always have varied skills and responsibilities just depending on who their clients are and what they specialize in.

I have created a list of virtual assistant jobs to get you started. You'll have to choose which ones to apply with just depending on what you're good at and what skills the company is looking for.

A few of the more popular work-at-home virtual assistant companies that will consider beginners include:

51 - Fancy Hands - Fancy Hands is a company that uses a pool of freelance virtual assistants to connect with their clients needing various tasks done. Pay is on the low side and it's task-based work, but it's fairly easy to get accepted as a virtual assistant for this company with no experience.

52 - Time Etc. - Open to US and UK. Work as a virtual assistant from home for Time Etc. as a freelancer. They require at least 2-3 years of relevant experience. Pay is monthly via Paypal, and pay may be between $11 and $16 hourly.

53 - 99 Dollar Social - May be open worldwide. This is the kind of VA job where your primary duties involve updating and managing social media accounts. Most people seem to make around $12 hourly, but that’s not set in stone.

Moderation

54 - ICUC - They provide training for candidates without moderation experience. However, they focus on hiring bi- or multi-lingual candidates.

55 - The Social Element - Open worldwide. Work-at-home as an engagement specialist or moderator for many well-known clients via The Social Element (formerly known as eModeration).

56 - Metaverse - There are several people who have applied here without moderation experience and managed to get in, so it's worth a shot.

57 - Crisp Thinking - This is another moderation job that is contract where no experience is required. Fill out their survey or sign up on their waiting list to get accepted.

Writing

There are many no experience-needed jobs in the writing world.

Writing is one of the easiest work-from-home industries to break into because fortunately most of the places you can write for tend to be more interested in how well you can write rather than how many other writing jobs you've had. They are mostly content sites/mills and while they don't pay a lot, they are good for paid practice.

58 - Verblio - Write blog posts for Verblio's clients. If the client likes your work, you get paid. This is ghostwriting, so I don't believe you get credit for your job.

59 - BKA - Buy Keyword Articles - This is SEO-focused content. They pay every two weeks via Paypal. The application process involves a short quiz covering your grammar/punctuation, etc.

60 - Stellar Content - Pays twice monthly. They aren't always open to registration.

62 - Textbroker - I have lots of experience with this site and I've always thought they were great, although some would probably disagree. You can get in here with very little writing experience. You have to write a short sample and your writing level (and the amount of money you can earn per article) will be based on that initial sample. It is possible to get moved up once you've proven your skills even if you start at a low level.

63—Wordgigs—This company regularly offers writing assignments. To be accepted, you must take a quiz on spelling and grammar at about the high school level.

Most of the writing sites listed above are content sites that will always pay a set rate per word.

Research

64 - Wonder - This is a company that hires home-based researchers. I do not believe you have to have any specific past work experience to be considered, you just have to be good at researching things online. Writing skills will help, too.

Good luck if you apply for any of the above!
