8 Companies That Hire Entry-Level Remote Jobs
Whether you are thinking about becoming a digital nomad and traveling the world while working on the beach or just getting some extra cash, these 8 websites will give you the opportunity for your plan to be location independent and free from that tedious 9–5 job.
1. Automattic
Automattic is the company with people behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Jetpack, Simplenote, Longreads, VaultPress, Akismet, Gravatar, Crowdsignal, Cloudup, Tumblr, Day One, Pocket Casts, and more. You can think about it as an outsourced company for engineers, marketing, and other positions to empower these technology companies.
They mainly hire engineers, marketing, and business development, and they are all remote positions. You will be able to work with other team members remotely and gain experience in an internet company.
2. Weworkremotely
First, I thought this was a WeWork-related company, but it’s an independent website that serves as a job board that caters to specifically remote jobs worldwide.
Weworkremotely is trusted by internet giants such as Google, Amazon, and Basecamp to provide different categories of remote positions. It costs companies $299 to post a job on the website, so you can see this as a filter for the job seekers to find only the serious companies with quality offers.
There are different categories of jobs, programming, design, management, finance, customer support, and sales and marketing. You can not only find a full-time position but also contract offers on this website.
3. Preply
According to Wikipedia, “Preply is a language learning app and e-learning platform headquartered in Brookline, Massachusetts, with offices in Barcelona and Kyiv. Preply has 300 employees of 35 different nationalities. As of 2022, Preply connects over 140,000 tutors teaching 50 languages in 203 countries worldwide.”
As an online education company, Preply hires language tutors worldwide to provide the best service to its students online. And since the teachers work online and remotely, you don’t have to go to their office or teach the students in a classroom. You can do everything from your living room.
You can expect to earn $15-$25 per hour working as a language tutor at Preply, and they also provide free webinars for the tutors to learn and grow within the company.
4. Vipkid
Like Preply, Vipkid is also an online language learning platform headquartered in Beijing, China. It caters to the Chinese students in China and primarily focuses on English teaching.
With incentives, a teacher can earn $14 to $22 per hour with Vipkid. I think this is perfect for those looking for side income in their spare time or if you are a college student who wants to have some income teaching experience before stepping into the real world.
5. Gotranscript
Gotranscript is a website that provides 100% human-generated transcription and translation services. With Gotranscript, you will become one of their transcribers to transcribe one of the 21 languages, including Arabic, Danish, French, Tajik, Uzbek. etc. If you have a blog or have an online presence, you could also join their affiliate program and earn a commission when you refer someone to become their customer.

With this online job, you will be able to work from home with flexible hours and receive a weekly payout via PayPal for all work completed.
6. 99designs
99desigens is a freelancer platform for connecting graphic designers and clients. Graphic designers can create designs to join the contest and win clients on this website. If you are a freelance graphic designer, this is an excellent platform for you to find future clients and find inspiration.
When you get a client, the platform will charge you an introduction fee and a platform fee starting from 15% since the platform provides support, secure payments, fraud protection, etc.
Different design projects are available on the website, including logos, Web & App design, product packaging, book covers, etc.
One of the problems, when you work as a freelance graphic designer, is finding clients and collecting payments with your client, so working with an online platform like 99designs is a great way to make sure your work gets paid fairly and on time.
7. Peopleperhour
PeoplePerHour is a UK-based company, an online platform giving businesses access to freelance workers.
On PeoplePerHour, you can find everything for freelancers to work online. From programming, writing, translation, design, and social media support.

Clickworker is a website that hires freelancers to build Ai models. Create or correct texts, participate in surveys or search and categorize data.
They have headquarters in the US and Germany. The website says: “Clickworker is always looking for Internet users worldwide who can, for example, create or correct texts, participate in surveys or search and categorize data for us.”
They offer entry-level jobs such as Proofreading, copywriting, research, surveys, etc.
SO how much can you earn with Clickworker?
