We all want to become a millionaire overnight, but that's impossible unless you invested some money in crypto and it suddenly blew up.
The point I'm making is that to become
a millionaire, we all need to start somewhere. Take the world's second-richest
man, for example. Jeff started his journey by flipping burgers. Yeah, imagine
this guy actually flipping burgers. The key point is that we all start
somewhere, whether that's flipping burgers or a decent job so that we could
build a bit of capital before starting a side hustle or a business. Your teen
years are the best years to start as you can afford to fail as many times as
you want to and still end up being successful by getting a job if nothing works
out. In today's post, I'll be sharing seven jobs that pay you over $15 per
hour, how you can get started, how hard the jobs are, and how much effort you have
to put in for each of them. Here's a quick job that will help you make millions
is by simply smashing.
Job number one: transcriber
Becoming a transcriber can get you at least 15 to $25 per hour, depending on what you do. A transcriber is simply someone who turns audio into text. It's as simple as that. Even my granny can apply for this job. There are two ways to make money as a transcriber. The easiest way is by simply going to rev. comand apply to be a transcriber. There are other platforms, though I've found that Rev pays the best in terms of dollar per minute transcribed. When you apply, you'll be given test audio to transcribe. Once you're done with that, they will start offering you multiple jobs to choose from depending on if you want to do it or not. Some jobs pay more per minute transcribed, but there is an average of 40 cents to $1 per audio minute transcribed. It's available in multiple countries and multiple languages so anyone can make money. This platform is mainly used by YouTubers as like me who want to add captions to the YouTube videos so there will always be jobs available on Rev. Second way is to make subtitles for movies. There's an estimate of35% online content viewers who use the subtitles when watching online content. Now 35% may seem small, but if you compare it to the amount of people watching content online, that's a lot. There clearly is a demand for this job movies will forever keep releasing. You may think companies use automation to convert text to speech. Yes, some companies do, but they still have someone who goes over the subtitles to make sure it's correct.
Job number two: data entry
As we are transitioning into the metaverse, everything
has started to move online. This requires a lot of existing data needing to be transferred
on to programs online, and this is where you can secure the bag. There are many
companies that are paying over $15 per hour to just fill in data. The best
thing about data entry jobs is that it does not require you to have a college
degree, or if you're from the UK, a university degree. You can simply get into the
job if you have skills on Excel or other platforms the business uses. For those
that don’t know how to use Excel, it's not that hard. All you need to do is simply
watch some YouTube videos and I know you will Excel within an hour. See what
I've done there.- You're odd.- There are two major factors you need if you
really want to be successful in this job. One is attention to detail. Companies
hire people that have a good eye when it comes to details as if you mess up
just one entry, then the whole data gets messed up and no one wants that. So
just make sure you pay attention.(monitor crashing)The second biggest factor is
your typing speed. As you'll be filling in data online, some companies require you
to type at a certain speed. This is where you can use websites like this to
practice on in order to reach the speed you need to get this job. While you're
at it, lets see how fast I can type.(keyboard keys clicking)(lively music)(party
horn honking)(group cheering)Yeah, I smashed it. Now after the video, I want
you to go try it and comment down below if you beat me. On a serious note, you
can apply for data entry jobson pages like Indeed or you can go to Upwork and
find jobs that people have put up.
Job number three: teaching a language
There are 6,500 spoken
languages around the world, yet the average human speaks only two across their
lifetime. The most common spoken language in the world is English as it's
commonly used around the world through social media and schools. English has
become so popular that you are more likely to get a job if you know the languages
as it becomes easier for employers to work with you. This is why it's becoming hard
for foreigners to get jobs. So what they do is simply start taking tuitions, and
this is where you can make some serious money on the side.- Securing the bag.-
Most people that want to take English seriously take online tuitions on places
like Upwork or Fiverr. They simply pay you to teach English. The pay depends on
how much the person is willing to pay per hour, but in most cases it is $15 or
more, depending on your experience. It is honestly one of the easiest jobs if
you're good at teaching, but if you're shy, another way you can make money
using this method is by simply creating a course on how to learn English. Then you
simply have to upload it to places like Udemy or Skillshare where people can
watch it. It's as simple as that. Once you start getting good reviews on your
course, you will have more traffic coming in leading to more money.
Job number four: freelance writing
Yes, this job
role pays a fortune. People are always looking for good writers. Look at me. I've
been looking for a scripter for so long yet I've been getting no responses. I
guess I will have to continue scripting myself. But if you want to join this
amazing team as a content writer, drop a DM or email us with a video script. Freelancing
as a writer, you can make more than $20 per hour depending on how good you are
at writing. There are two key types of writers you could become, one being a
content writer, another is a copywriter. Content writers usually are the ones
writing blogs or scripts for content creators. They're the creative heads
behind the amazing videos you see like the one I have behind the camera right
now. Summit, you all right? He's not gonna say anything. Let's continue. The
most important skill content curators need is to write in as many different
styles. If you're able to master this, you will easily get jobs as you can
adapt to the creator's tone. Now, copywriting is where you make landing pages
or even newsletter feeds for a business. Your whole aim is to persuade
customers into buying products or services. Ever heard an ad so good and
wondered who wrote it? It was perfectly written by a fellow copywriter whose
objective was to persuade you to buy something. Companies hire copywriters as
they can be persuasive and creative helping the companies achieve their sales
goal. This is why they get paid more than $20 an hour. You can easily find jobs
on this field. I searched up content writer jobs and I got a ton of searches
popping up. So if you want to join this field, I look forward to reading your
work.
Job number five: a web designer
As I mentioned in
this post, businesses during the pandemic lost a lot of money due to them not
transitioning online quickly. This is why there's an increase in the need for
good website creators. You can easily make your $20 per hour depending on your
skill. You can set up your shop on Fiverr. Take this seller, for example. He
charges 1,235 pounds per website that he makes. That's a lot of money. The
thing with website creation is that once you've mastered the skill, it becomes
so easy to make websites, you can easily make over three websites in a week. So
that's around $ 3,000 a week. Not too bad, eh? There are other places you can
sell on. If you do not want to be a seller on Fiverr, you can simply apply for
jobs like those shown here. Or you can actually go to a local business that
needs a website and set up a deal. The choice is yours. Just make sure you
market yourself well and you will be making money in no time.
Job idea six: social media manager
When we think of
social media manager, we always think of individual influencers that we need to
manage, but this is not the case. There are many local businesses or shops that
have just started around the corner. All you need to do is contact them and set
up a deal where you simply start managing their social media accounts. For
example, you could setup dates of upload times or reply to customer queries and
simply boost the business reputation up. Marketing is a very valuable skill to
have as every company is willing to pay a good amount for that type of service.
Knowing how to send email campaigns and run ads is a huge deal when it comes to
social media marketing. Companies are constantly looking out for people like
you, as you hold much value. The reason being is that you can bring so many
loyal customers who would constantly buy their products for life. The most
common way to get businesses to pay you is to learn about Facebook Ads. If you
can master how to run ads for business through Facebook, then there is a lot of
money to be made. And if you want to learn how to email market, then you should
try using Mailchimp. It's free and it's used by most local businesses as it's
very easy to use. But like always there are always creative ways to market. And
if you could master that, you will make more than you bargained for. Here's a
quick example. You may have seen a sudden rise in chiropractors cracking bones
and stuff online. Well, it's the cause of smart social media marketers who
thought they would post satisfying videos online so online could one, make some
money online and two, bring in more customers for the particular clinic they’re
posting it for. It really changed the game for so clinics as now everyone wants
their back even me. It was some serious good marketing, and it shows by the
amount of customers chiro practitioners get now.
Job number seven: online surveys
Yes, this is
essentially a job that businesses are paying for. Surveys don't always mean
doing surveys on Swagbucks or other platforms to make quick money. Yes, you can
make quick money through apps like these, but it does take a lot of time. When
I mean surveys, I mean company surveys. Company surveys are when big global
companies pay you money too test slash review their products and ask for your
feedback. The information they gain from you is vital for them as you are
representing their potential customer base. Think about it, they aren't going
to start making thousands products of a particular perfume if the perfume isn't
even good enough. Companies are willing to pay $20 per hour, and the more work
you do, more you get paid. You can be a product tester or you could be an
advisor for landing pages or websites. You simply give your feedback on what
you like about the business page and make some money. It's as simple as that. But
just make sure you keep all the information confidential and actually give good
feedback and not just one word like I did back in the days. The more good
feedback you give, the more opportunities will be given to you. So those were
the seven online jobs you could apply for, but make sure you choose one and
focus on it in order to get some experience and money from that field.
