What Kind of Jobs Can I Do From Home Without a Degree?

Rather buyers or clients can hire you directly. If they see that your skills and services match what they are looking for, they may buy your gig(s) directly or ask you to send them a custom offer so they can buy your custom gig.

Your selling price starts at $5, but you can charge more, depending on the job you are willing to do. Plus, you can offer add-ons to increase your gig value. For example, you may charge $10 for writing and delivering a 300-word blog post in 2 days, but you can charge $20 for writing a 800-word blog post in 2 days. Also, you can increase your earnings by delivering the gig faster (e.g. delivering the gig in one day).

  1. I would really love to do freelance writing work but I’m so nervous to put myself out there! I love reading and writing but I’m just so nervous!
    Maybe I’ll give it a go!
    Thanks so much for the insights!

  2. Good to come in contact with this site. I hope to join you there. Thanks.

  3. Just a note…Wonder is an internet research company…yes…but I just need to throw out there that the application process is long, but do-able. Then there’s a training camp for a day, then if you pass, for a week. And when I say they are detailed…detailed does not even BEGIN to describe what they want. It can be interesting and could be something I’d actually like doing. BUT you are allowed up to 5 hours to do each project once you get up and running and done with training. Fine. With practice I could see maybe getting to around 3 hours per job. But the pay is the catch. You are paid by job and while I’m not allowed to say how much,it is very low and it’s not near enough, to me, for the work that is involved.

    It actually does :-) I use Social Warfare to have a specific image display for pinterest pinning — so it’s typically not the image at the top of the page, but one I’ve created just for pinterest.
