10 Work-From-Home Jobs (No Experience Required!)

4. Mock juror

Who’s hiring: Available via eJury, Jury Test, Online Verdict and others

Median pay: $20 to $60 per trial

If you’re a fan of courtroom TV dramas such as Law & Order, these short-term positions give you a closer look at how lawyers work. When attorneys want to learn how a jury might react to arguments or pieces of evidence they might present in a trial, these legal teams hire mock juries to test things out.

You are more likely to find these jobs on specialized websites rather than on your usual job boards. Some of the most prominent of these juror websites are eJury, Online Verdict and Jury Test. Once you have registered on the website and filled out a basic profile, the legal teams will contact you when they have a trial for which you might be a good fit.

5. Proofreader

Who’s hiring: Robert Half, McMenamin’s, Crowe Horwath

Median pay: $22.12 per hour

For many of these jobs, strong grammar skills and a good eye for detail are the primary qualifications. But much of the demand for proofreaders right now is in industries such as pharmaceuticals and law. While employers prefer that applicants have some familiarity with those fields, previous experience is not a requirement.

6. Travel/Reservation Agent

Who’s hiring: Marriott International, Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores

Median pay: $21.06 per hour

While many people prefer to make their travel arrangements themselves through websites and apps, there still are opportunities for work in the travel industry. Now that many people are eager to start exploring the world again after two years of being homebound, businesses such as hotels are hiring additional help to manage reservations. If you have lots of travel experience in your background, these jobs are an opportunity to share your knowledge while earning money at home.

7. Tutor

Who’s hiring: Sylvan Learning Center, CrossOver, Tutor Me Education

Median pay: $20.09 per hour

While teachers typically need a license to work in their state, tutors do not. The primary requirement to work as a tutor is some expertise in a particular subject, which can come from your previous work experience or just general personal interests. For example, if you have experience tracking the office finances for a previous employer, a side gig as a math tutor might be good fit for you.

8. Sales Representative

Who’s hiring: Sally Beauty Holdings, Advance Auto Parts, Vector Marketing

Median pay: $14.71 per hour

While it’s certainly helpful to have some previous experience working in sales, many companies are willing to consider applicants who have different career backgrounds. The key skill is being able to show that you have the ability to connect with new clients while maintaining relationships with current ones. In addition to being able to work from home, these jobs also tend to offer flexible or part-time hours, since you build your schedule around sales made more than hours worked.

9. Social Media Specialist

Who’s hiring: Bright Horizons, Teleperformance, Kohl’s Department Stores

Median pay: $27.29 per hour

If you are active on Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other social media platforms, you likely already have the experience needed to handle this job. Managing the photos, videos and other content posted on a company’s social media profile can be a challenging career, especially at a large corporation. But many small businesses in your neighborhood and region also use social media to attract customers. These positions with local or regional companies are great opportunities to earn while working flexible hours.

10. Content Writer

Who’s hiring: Winter Park Resort, KinderCare Learning Centers, Teleperformance

Median pay: $33.42 per hour

While there are a wide range of opportunities available for this sort of work, the areas with the most demand are technical writing and science. You don’t need to have personal expertise on the subjects you might be covering, but you will need to be comfortable talking with researchers, designers and others to make sure you are explaining things properly as you write manuals, brochures and other key documents.
