Best Paying Work At Home Jobs

Working at home doesn't mean you don't have a degree.  Most of the highest paying ones actually need degrees, some on the otherhand are careers thats sprung out of the need to spend more time with family,  more relaxed time and less commute/corporate politics.  Here is a list from Forbes and around the web of the best paying work at home jobs.

By Jomar Hilario.

1.  Software Engineers


Software engineers apply the principles of engineering to the design, development, maintenance, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that make computers or anything containing software work.  They are also called computer programmers and software developers.  Forbes lists weekly earnings at $ 1,549

2.  PR Specialists

Public relations specialists create and maintain a favourable public image for their employer or client. They write material for media releases, plan and direct public relations programs, and raise funds for their organizations. 

3.  Market & Survey Researchers

A market researcher helps to inform political, social and economic decisions made by many organisations and businesses.  Their primary aim is to collect and analyze data and information that is valuable to clients. Forbes lists earnings at $1,162 per week.

　　

Though the first three mentioned have a lot still working for agencies/corporations and degrees are needed, here are some that may not require a degree.

4.  Writers / Authors / Editors

This may vary from the type of material being written.  Median weekly earnings $987

5.  Graphic Designers

Weekly they can earn $890

6.  Virtual Assistants

Depending on the expertise and how they value themselves, Virtual Assistants can charge up to $20 or more per hour.  Most start off at $2 just to get experience but as they level up on experience and learn more about increasing their skills via trainings, so do their salaries.

7.  Medical Transcriptionist

$10 - $20 per hour

8.  Translator

$20 per hour

9.  Web Designer

Many businesses need websites nowadays, that's why this job is very in demand.  Average hourly rate at $20.  

10.  Call Center Rep

While most would work in companies, you can be a call center rep in the comforts of your own home. $2 - $12 per hour.

These are just the tip of the iceberg.  There are thousand of different jobs out there now that can fit your expertise.  How much you can make out of these work at home jobs really depend on how much you value yourself and have work to show to back it up.

Alert: Scam Gig

Here's an email from one of Jomar's VA students, Ivy. (Thanks for sharing this to us, Ivy!)

"I was looking for a part-time VA job as an additional income, so I applied to this company, FreshDigital eCommerce Solutions.  They were looking for a Virtual Assistant.  I sent them an e-mail with my resume and the following day they replied to me to take this online test.  After taking the test, I need to send them the results.  Two days after, they e-mailed back and welcomed me to their company, but they are requesting me to submit some requirements;  Med Certificate, Transcript, updated NBI Clearance, and Certification from previous employers and I don't have the time to prepare these requirements there is an option #2.  OPTION #2 is Comprehensive Certification from our independent legal contractor. Simply supply a 2x2 picture, ID, and 500 Php processing fee. Payment done thru Western Union via contractor’s collection agent.

I opted for OPTION #1 because I already have these requirements, so I sent it to them in PDF files.  The following day, they replied stating that, "due to urgent demand, position was given to someone that is more ready...new available slot for another client with same rate & terms. if interested , complete #2 req. mail back if you want to proceed so we can give you details of our col-ofcr."

It is then, I felt that this is a scam.  I e-mailed them asking for their address here and company website (for which I did some research of their company but found none), but I got no reply from them.

I thought of sending you and Jomar an e-mail if I can post on his FB account.  I would like to warn other job seekers particularly for those looking for VA jobs.

I would appreciate your advise on this.

Thanks."

Why is this a scam, you ask?

ALL the requirements in this gig-opening should not be required if you're applying for a virtual assistant job. I mean, seriously?? 

Obviously, they don't know how to evaluate and hire freelancers online -- maybe they haven't really hired someone online before. What do you think?

After submitting Requirement options #1, she was asked to pass requirement options #2 because "she was not ready".

And what's this one thing included in requirement option #2 na super fishy?

Right. The P500 "processing" or whatever fee.

Kailangan mo ba magbayad para makakuha ng gig?

Nope. Definitely not.

This and more is what I'll be teaching you on August 17.
If you want to learn how to work sa bahay and how to spot a scam, I'm inviting you to join us on August 17, special rates are up until June 4 only. 

Oo malayo pa. But as of today, we already have 27 registrants. We can only accommodate 80 or so. If you won't be able to attend on August 17, baka next year na ang next. So hurry and register.

ELECTION GAME CHANGER:: How to Evaluate Your Election Candidates using How They Used Your Taxes and What Bills They Made Using Only Two Images

ELECTION GAME CHANGER (applicable in any country):

How would you want to help people EVALUATE their candidates w/o any bias using ONE IMAGE?

Not all but most.  Even those not running in the elections.

How would you want to SHOW THEM WHERE THE CANDIDATE used the government money last year?

But wait, there's more.

How would you like know what KIND OF BILLS did that lawmaker create in his ENTIRE carreer using ONE IMAGE?

Here's how I did it - so you can do it too:

1. I went to http://www.rappler.com/nation/politics/elections-2013/data/27132-candidates-2013-philippine-elections

2. In SOME candidates are links to PORK BARREL and BILLS THEY CREATED.

3. I selected 2012 for each...

4. I copied the ENTIRE page.. CONTROL-A To select all (on the keyboard)

5. I pasted it to http://WORDLE.NET (or I used http://worditout.com) to create a word cloud. (paste : CONTROL-V)

    Wordle creates word clouds -- The bigger the text, the more prominent is it repeated in the document. 

6  In this case, if you see the words DPWH often in the document, read the source document (press Control-F and type DPWH. Press Enter) to find out that this person / government official has been:

    a) Using his time government time to RENAME ROADS.

    b) Constructing roads.

    If you see the word "Assistance", go to the original BILLS or BUDGET list, press Control-F and type Assistance. Press Enter.

    And you'll see if he's been Giving it to the poor ("Robin Hood?") or something else.

   

7. Editing the Cloud: I clicked (wordle) / edit words (worditout) on the words in the word cloud that appear to remove them because:

    a. They are not relevant words like "Amount" "Description"

    b. I removed all Location/Province/City names

    c. Because all I want to see are those things / nouns that this official has been spending time and money in.

    d. You can also retain the names to find out if your congressman has been spending money in places other than his own jurisdiction.

8. Result: What the senator/congressman has been prioritising (as reported) with his PORK BARREL/Government Money EACH YEAR.

9. Important : Go back to the document do Item #6 above and write down your conclusions about what this person has been doing.

   You might be surprised that your congressman has been spending his "BILLS" / time renaming roads so that his BILL COUNT can be high. 

You may use this to judge if you want to vote of the person or not - and keep those not running in office HONEST, to a degree.

Now off you go make your own versions!

Note:  Use the same color and same font for ALL your senators and congressmen so there's no BIAS when people evaluate what you have created. After all they can check your work by doing the above. It takes around 1-3 minutes for each image to be created, all in all.

Forward this to everyone who you know wants to evaluate these people a bit more w/o bias.

Disclaimer: You created this yourself, you bring your own bias when you erase words. But it's extremely telling why would someone spend so much time/money to FORCEPS and a STA ANA Distrubutor of Surgical Equipment? It could be he's building hospitals? Is he? Or not. Read the source material to find out, google for news to find out if it was ever reported that he did what he said he did.
