7 Online Jobs DESPERATE For Workers Right Now (No Degree Needed) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Right now, there are seven online jobs
2. 0:02that are desperate for workers, and you
3. 0:04don' need years of experience to get
4. 0:06your foot in the door. But here's the
5. 0:08strange part. These companies are still
6. 0:11struggling to fill the seats. The
7. 0:13average job now sits open for more than
8. 0:15two months before someone finally
9. 0:17accepts an offer. And the jobs on this
10. 0:20list get passed over the whole time
11. 0:22because people don't know the right
12. 0:24titles to search for. So for every job,
13. 0:27I'll tell you what it pays, the honest
14. 0:29upside and downside, and how to get
15. 0:31started. And later in this video,
16. 0:33there's one people skip all the time
17. 0:35because they think you need to already
18. 0:37work in tech, and you don't. So let's
19. 0:39start with one that's growing faster
20. 0:41than almost anything out there. It's
21. 0:43called an AI data annotator, also listed
22. 0:46as an AI trainer. AI companies need real
23. 0:49people to review, label, and correct
24. 0:51what their tools put out. And that work
25. 0:53keeps coming because the AI keeps
26. 0:56changing. In fact, LinkedIn named data
27. 0:58annotator one of the top five fastest
28. 1:01growing jobs in the country. So why
29. 1:03isn't everybody applying? Because people
30. 1:05search for data entry or customer
31. 1:07service. They never type in annotator.
32. 1:09So a lot of people never even see these
33. 1:12listings. And the medium pay per
34. 1:14Glassdoor is around $60,000 per year.
35. 1:17Now real quick, just a heads up, for
36. 1:19every pay number in this video, these
37. 1:21are averages and these aren't promises.
38. 1:23So what you actually make is going to
39. 1:25depend on your experience, where you
40. 1:26live, and the company you work for. So
41. 1:28please do your research before you
42. 1:30apply. Now the skills you'll need here
43. 1:32are sharp eye for detail, solid reading
44. 1:35and writing in English, and following a
45. 1:37written rubric the same way every time.
46. 1:40Now for an opportunity score, I'm going
47. 1:41to give this one a seven out of 10. It's
48. 1:43beginner friendly, but pay and hours can
49. 1:46swing a lot by platform. Now to get
50. 1:48started, you usually sign up on the
51. 1:50company's careers page and take a short
52. 1:53qualifying test. And in some cases, they
53. 1:55actually skip the interview. Now hold on
54. 1:57to that qualifying test because it back
55. 2:00later. And it's the exact thing that
56. 2:02scares people away from one of the best
57. 2:04jobs on this list. And I get it. Job
58. 2:07hunting can feel like a full-time job by
59. 2:10itself. That's why I put together a free
60. 2:12list of the top 100 companies that hire
61. 2:14for online and remote jobs, so you're
62. 2:16not guessing who's hiring. And I'll drop
63. 2:18that link below in the description so
64. 2:21you can download it. Now, if you'd
65. 2:22rather listen than talk, this next one
66. 2:25is all about your ears. It's called a
67. 2:27remote transcriptionist. You turn audio
68. 2:29into written text. Think court hearings,
69. 2:32medical notes, interviews, and video
70. 2:34captions. And with more podcasts and
71. 2:36videos every day, there's more audio
72. 2:38than ever. Now, you might be thinking,
73. 2:40doesn't AI already do this? Well, it
74. 2:43does a first draft, but when a
75. 2:45transcript has to be official, like a
76. 2:47court record, a real person still checks
77. 2:50every single word. And people skip it
78. 2:52because they think you need a
79. 2:53certificate. For legal and medical work,
80. 2:55sometimes it is required. For general
81. 2:57transcription, it's usually not. And per
82. 2:59ZipRecruiter, the average entry-level
83. 3:01pay for data annotator is around $22 per
84. 3:04hour. And just so you know, that hourly
85. 3:07rate is paid by the audio minute. So
86. 3:09that number is going to fluctuate
87. 3:11depending on the company you work with.
88. 3:12Now, the skills you'll need are fast,
89. 3:14accurate typing, strong grammar, and the
90. 3:16patience to replay a muddy sentence five
91. 3:19times without getting sloppy. Now, for
92. 3:21an opportunity score, I'm going to give
93. 3:22this one a six out of 10. It's open to
94. 3:25beginners, but your real hourly pay
95. 3:27depends on a lot of your speed. Now, to
96. 3:29get started, most companies give you a
97. 3:30short grammar and typing test before
98. 3:33they approve you. Now, the next job
99. 3:35barely needs a phone at all. And it's
100. 3:37perfect if you'd rather type than talk.
101. 3:39It's called an e-commerce chat support
102. 3:42specialist. Online stores need people
103. 3:44answering questions in a chat window.
104. 3:46Where's my order? How do I return this?
105. 3:48Why won't my code work? And big brands
106. 3:50get slammed during big sales and the
107. 3:52holidays. And the work is repetitive, so
108. 3:55people move on and seats keep opening
109. 3:57up. Now, people hear customer support
110. 4:00and picture a phone glued to their ear.
111. 4:02But a big chunk of these jobs never
112. 4:04touch a phone at all. And if you've ever
113. 4:06texted a family member step-by-step
114. 4:08through fixing their phone, you've
115. 4:09already done a version of this job. And
116. 4:11the average pay per ZipRecruiter for
117. 4:13this position is around $26 per hour.
118. 4:16Now the skills you'll need here are
119. 4:18clear writing, using a template without
120. 4:20sounding like a robot, and patience when
121. 4:22that same question shows up for the
122. 4:24100th time. Now for an opportunity
123. 4:26score, I'm going to give this a 6.5 out
124. 4:28of 10. It fits a lot of people, but pay
125. 4:31tends to level off unless you move into
126. 4:33a lead position. To get started, you can
127. 4:35check the career pages of online brands
128. 4:38that you already shop with. Now this
129. 4:40next job has a revolving door, and
130. 4:42that's good news for you. It's a call
131. 4:44center agent at what's called a BPO.
132. 4:47That just means a company that handles
133. 4:49customer service for bigger brands.
134. 4:51Think companies like Concentrix and
135. 4:54TTEC. And call centers have some of the
136. 4:56highest turnover of any job out there,
137. 4:58and they're hiring most of the year. And
138. 5:01people skip it because they picture a
139. 5:02cubicle and a long commute. But a lot of
140. 5:05these jobs are fully remote now. And the
141. 5:08average pay per ZipRecruiter is around
142. 5:10$17 per hour. Now yes, that is the
143. 5:13lowest on the list. This is perfect for
144. 5:15those right out of school or looking for
145. 5:17their first job. Also, TTEC trains you
146. 5:20and even provides equipment. Now the
147. 5:23skills you'll need are staying calm when
148. 5:24someone's upset, juggling a screen and a
149. 5:27call, and hitting your numbers. Now for
150. 5:29an opportunity score, I'm going to give
151. 5:31this one a six out of 10. It's
152. 5:33beginner-friendly. It's the perfect
153. 5:35entry-level or first job, but the days
154. 5:37are repetitive and heavily measured. To
155. 5:40get started, check the big BPO
156. 5:42companies' career pages. Many run hiring
157. 5:44classes throughout the year. Now the
158. 5:46next job has the highest opportunity
159. 5:48score on this entire list, and hearing
160. 5:51the word no is part of the job
161. 5:53description. But first, speaking of
162. 5:54getting trained without a degree
163. 5:56standing in your way, let me tell you
164. 5:58about the online training program that I
165. 6:00recommend to all my subscribers. It
166. 6:02called Course Careers, and they have
167. 6:03free intro courses in fields like IT
168. 6:06help desks, tech sales, cybersecurity,
169. 6:08and supply chain, so you can see which
170. 6:10one is the right fit before you take it
171. 6:12any further. And their paid programs
172. 6:14also offer resume help, interview prep,
173. 6:17and job placement support, although this
174. 6:19of course does not guarantee you a job.
175. 6:21But no experience and no degree required
176. 6:24to get started. I'll put that link below
177. 6:26in the description and in the pinned
178. 6:27comment so you can get started. And this
179. 6:29is my affiliate link, so if you end up
180. 6:30getting one of the paid courses, I may
181. 6:32earn a percentage at no additional cost
182. 6:34to you. It helps support the channel, so
183. 6:36thank you. All right, so back to the job
184. 6:38with the top score. It's called an
185. 6:40outbound appointment setter. You book
186. 6:42meetings on the calendar for coaches,
187. 6:44agencies, and software companies so
188. 6:46their sales people get in front of
189. 6:48someone. Now a lot of the pay is
190. 6:50commission, and when people hit a cold
191. 6:52stretch of being ignored, they quit. So
192. 6:54companies are often hiring, and most
193. 6:56listings don't ask for a sales
194. 6:58background or a degree. Think of it like
195. 7:00being the host at a busy restaurant.
196. 7:02You're not cooking the meal, you're just
197. 7:03getting people to the table. And
198. 7:05according to ZipRecruiter, the average
199. 7:07pay for this position is around $24 per
200. 7:10hour. But that number does move a lot
201. 7:12because commission can push it up or
202. 7:14leave it flat. Now the skills you'll
203. 7:16need here are clear communication, some
204. 7:18comfort learning a CRM tool, which is
205. 7:20really just a digital contact list, and
206. 7:22honestly, some thick skin. Now for an
207. 7:24opportunity score, I'm going to get this
208. 7:25one a 7.5 out of 10. The ceiling is
209. 7:28higher than most here, but so are the
210. 7:30ups and downs. Now to get started,
211. 7:32search appointment setter on the big job
212. 7:34boards or reach out to small agencies
213. 7:36and coaches. And when searching for
214. 7:38these jobs in particular, pay very close
215. 7:41attention to the salary and the pay
216. 7:43because some of these jobs might just be
217. 7:45all commission, so definitely do your
218. 7:47research. And if you'd rather not talk
219. 7:50to anybody, the next job is the exact
220. 7:52opposite. It's just you, a rule book,
221. 7:54and the weirdest corners of the
222. 7:56internet. It's called a social media
223. 7:58content moderator. You review flagged
224. 8:00posts and videos and take down anything
225. 8:03that breaks the rules. And companies
226. 8:05need this badly because a mountain of
227. 8:07content goes up every single minute. And
228. 8:10brands are scared of something harmful
229. 8:12slipping through. And burnout here is
230. 8:14real. So they're often hiring. And
231. 8:16people skip it because they assume it's
232. 8:18a tech job. It's really about following
233. 8:20a rule book the same way every time. And
234. 8:23ZipRecruiter puts the average salary at
235. 8:25around $47,000
236. 8:27per year, which is about $22 per hour.
237. 8:30Now the skills you'll need are following
238. 8:32a strict checklist, staying consistent
239. 8:34through repetition, and keeping some
240. 8:35emotional distance from what you see.
241. 8:38Now for an opportunity score, I'm going
242. 8:39to give this one a 5.5 out of 10. Yes,
243. 8:41it's the lowest score here, and that's
244. 8:43because the work can weigh on you, and
245. 8:44that makes it hard to do long term. Now
246. 8:47to get started, search for titles like
247. 8:49content moderator or trust and safety
248. 8:51associate and apply through the
249. 8:52company's career pages. And if the tech
250. 8:55side is starting to sound good,
251. 8:56CourseCareers also has free intro
252. 8:58courses in IT and cybersecurity. That
253. 9:01link is below in the description and in
254. 9:03the pinned comment. Now remember that
255. 9:04qualifying test I told you to hold on
256. 9:06to? This is where it comes back, and
257. 9:08it's the job I mentioned at the very
258. 9:10start. It's called an AI search engine
259. 9:12evaluator, and you'll also see it listed
260. 9:15as a search quality rater. You check
261. 9:17search engines and map apps to see if
262. 9:20the results make sense to a real person.
263. 9:22So they'll give you a search like best
264. 9:24pizza near me, and you decide if the
265. 9:26results are helpful, spammy, or just out
266. 9:29of date. And search companies tweak
267. 9:31their systems constantly, and they need
268. 9:33regular people to help them if those
269. 9:35changes worked. And people skip this one
270. 9:37because they think it's only for tech
271. 9:38workers. But these are independent
272. 9:40contractor roles through outside
273. 9:42companies like RWS and Telus Digital,
274. 9:45and they're open to regular people. Now
275. 9:47the average pay per ZipRecruiter is
276. 9:49around $19 per hour. Now it's not the
277. 9:52biggest number on the list, but it's
278. 9:53flexible and works well part time. And
279. 9:56the skills you'll need here are strong
280. 9:57reading, knowing what normal search
281. 9:59results and map listings look like, and
282. 10:01the patience to follow a long, detailed
283. 10:04rating guide. Now for an opportunity
284. 10:05score, I'm going to give this one a 6.5
285. 10:07out of 10. It's open to beginners, but
286. 10:09you have to pass a qualification exam
287. 10:12and the guidelines change often. And
288. 10:14that exam scares a lot of people off,
289. 10:16but they give you the guidelines to
290. 10:18study first. And I think that's why so
291. 10:20many pass this one by. Now to get
292. 10:22started, you can apply directly and take
293. 10:24the qualification test. Once you pass,
294. 10:27you can get paid projects, but the
295. 10:28amount of work does go up and down. And
296. 10:30here's the thing, every job on this list
297. 10:32has a title you can search for. So
298. 10:35there's still some competition. But
299. 10:36there's a whole other group of online
300. 10:38jobs that pay just as well, sometimes
301. 10:41better, and a lot fewer people apply
302. 10:43because they don't show up in the usual
303. 10:45searches. And I break those down in this
304. 10:47next video right up here, seven
305. 10:49underrated online jobs no one is talking
306. 10:52about. So make sure you check that out
307. 10:53and I look forward to seeing you in the
308. 10:55next video.
