12 Online Jobs That Pay $15 An Hour – Legitimate Work from Home

Want higher wages? Online jobs are a nice way to make some extra cash, to make money part-time (or even full time), but they never pay $15/hour. And what’s more, is that most starting wage can barely pay off your lifestyle or basic necessities. That is probably what you are thinking about while reading the title of this post, right? “Where can I find a reasonable living wage while working at home?”.

If so, then you have come to the right place!

What you will find quite surprising, it’s that not only do these types of jobs that pay $15 an hour exist, but they also don’t require you to be a highly talented or experienced worker. Heck, unlike larger companies, some of these online jobs and various positions do not even require you to have a high school diploma or bachelor’s degree!

I found several companies that offer online jobs and pay very well while also giving a flexible schedule. You can even meet like-minded team members who are in the same position as you and can give you valuable advice.

I hope you can find something interesting for you and will successfully apply for a new job!

Scribie

This company offers only freelance transcriber jobs with flexible hours. The rate of pay is $5 to $20 per audio hour, i.e., $0.5 to $2 for a 6-minute audio file.

So no, you do not need to have a fancy skill or a college degree with this, just hard work and you will be fine!
