WORK FROM HOME – LEGIT ONLINE JOBS THAT PAY WELL

1) TUTOR/TEACH ONLINE


Teach English Online: I currently help persons who are interested in teaching English Online achieve that with various companies that accept persons outside of the US and Canada as well as within these countries that pay a decent rate. You have to become qualified to do this process, however, it is not so hard as I do recruitment for a few of these companies. Feel free to contact me with details through my contact me page if you are in Jamaica or any other country outside of the USA or Canada. Here are some companies you can teach with, I will expand that list though. Here is a list of companies that hire Tutors in general.

2) FREELANCE

Make use of your skills on these freelance websites whether it is:


Upwork – This I have personally used and earned from it. The only thing is it works off bids so it can be a bit difficult sometimes to get these jobs. It is, however, a good thing to make a little extra. (tested)


Freelancer – (You can also earn for referring others) Similar to Upwork in the sense that you have to bid. It, however, does work too if you win the bid you do get paid for the work you complete. If you have great skills like designing or skills that are not as common as the average skills your results will be way better.


Fiverr – Fiverr is a little different in the sense that here you sell your services/gigs and you get paid as you complete them.


Clickworker – Clickworker is another option for freelancing. One thing to note though is that Clickworker mostly offers microtasks and they sometimes take a little time to pay. They are however a legit business that works.
