Okay, let's jump right in. Below are the top 3 super legit online jobs in 2023.
Top 3 Legit Online Jobs in 2023
1→Transcription
Transcription is one of the most legit online jobs you can do from anywhere worldwide if you have a personal computer, good headsets/earphones, and a good internet connection.
Transcription jobs entail converting audio recordings into written text that can be printed — or converting audio recordings into electronic documents.
Websites To Find Transcription Jobs.
Finding transcription jobs is as easy as ABC. All you need to do is register an account on one of the transcription sites below, and you are good to go.
One good thing about using these sites is that you are sure of constant workflow, and most importantly, you are assured of being paid.
So here is a list of a few sites to find transcription jobs. Remember, there are so many other sites. Make Google your friend!
Upwork is one of the best market sites for both freelancers and clients. You can get jobs on Upwork ranging from Web design, Transcription, Writing, Bookkeeping, Virtual assistant jobs, and many other remote jobs.
All you need to do is create a freelancer account and start bidding for transcription jobs.
GoTranscript is also another site to source for transcription jobs. They offer transcription and translation services to their clients.
They pay competitively, and also they have a constant workflow.
Like any other transcription site, GoTranscript is super strict on quality. You should consistently deliver quality transcripts or risk losing your transcription account. Pure Gold is the lifeblood here.
They pay up to $0.60 per audio/video minute; on average, you can pocket $150 monthly.
This is another transcription website to which you can offer services and generate an income.
You will find transcription jobs as well as editing jobs. Create an account and choose the type of services you want to offer.
Creating an account is free. Also, you work at your convenience and as much or as little as you want.
2. Writing.
This is another legit online job you can do and make money in 2023. I'm currently offering this type of service, and I can assure you it pays.
You can offer various types of writing online, including academic writing ( writing academic and research papers for other students), Article Writing, Blog post writing, Web content writing, Product review writing, E-book writing, and so many more.
If you are creative enough and love journalling like me, this is for you.
Freelancing Sites To Find Writing Gigs.
The internet has made life so easy, and everything is easily accessible with one click. You need to have Google or any other search engine as your buddy.
Below are a few sites among many to source for writing jobs.
*Remember, apart from using the content mills to find gigs, you can have your website like my blog, where you can write and sell your E-books.
Upwork is a prominent freelance pool where you can get any freelance job, including writing jobs. If you want to offer writing services, you may want to start with Upwork.
You must improve your ratings to make good money and get clients on this platform.
It is a bidding site, meaning you have to apply for the jobs posted, and if your pitch is appealing to the client, they might hire you.
Another thing to note about Upwork is that you must pay for connects.
Connect are points you use every time you submit a proposal to your potential client on up work.
Nonetheless, Upwork is worth a shot. It has a constant workflow. If you work smart on this platform, you can make good money.
This is also another marketplace for freelancers. If you are new to freelancing and need a platform to build confidence, this is for you. I started at Freelancer, but I'm no longer active there.
You have to be careful on this platform; otherwise, you might get scammed. It is best if you work within the forum. Do not accept jobs from clients promising to pay outside Freelancer.
Following the terms and conditions here, you can generate a reasonable income.
Jobs are posted every second, ranging from Web design, academic writing, transcription, App development, etc. Freelancer houses all types of freelance jobs under the sun.
Guru is another super best freelance site to source for writing jobs and build a solid and extensive client base.
The platform houses programmers, lawyers, writers, and translators to administrators. Guru, like Freelancer and Upwork, has different remote jobs for freelancers.
On this platform, you will have to bid for work.
Guru has boasted of 1,000,000 jobs completed and $250,000,000 paid to freelancers.
Creating an account is simple, secure, and straightforward. To add, you can begin work immediately.
Last but not least, Peopleperhour is another site where you can find freelance writing jobs and earn a living writing.
Like Upwork and Freelancer, Peopleperhour offers a range of freelance jobs, including writing.
Peopleperhour had 6,564 jobs up for grabs at this time, including 775 writing jobs.
It has a constant workflow and reasonable pay.
3. Virtual Assistance (VA)
Virtual Assistance is another legit online job you can opt for in 2023.
A virtual assistant is someone who offers administration services remotely.
If you have the necessary administration skills, then this is for you.
Virtual assistants offer services like creating and sending emails, scheduling meetings, making phone calls, Organizing travels, providing customer care services, etc.
Virtual assistance is the easiest and most flexible job anyone can do.
All you need is to be organized and time-conscious.
Depending on the level and category of service you offer as a VA, you can make anything ranging between $1/hour to $100/hr.
