Work From Home Jobs That Pay $10 An Hour Or More

Many of you are looking for work from home jobs that pay $10 an hour — or preferably more. This is yet another popular question I get from readers who are looking for home-based work, and it makes sense.

Although you do save money in all kinds of ways by working from home, it's still hard for most people to get by on anything less than $10 an hour these days.

I've written about several work from home companies in the five years this blog has been online. While most of the companies I've covered pay per piece, per word, or per task, there are quite a few that pay hourly.

Keep in mind that the majority of the hourly pay companies are phone jobs, so you're going to see a lot of those posted below.

If you want to earn more than $10 an hour doing something like freelance writing, transcription, or short tasks, your speed is what will get you there since these jobs usually don't pay hourly.

Phone Jobs That Pay $10 An Hour Or More

With many work from home customer service companies, the hourly rate will vary because they often have different clients for their workers to service.

When that's the case, your rate of pay may be different just depending on which client you've been assigned to. Still, most of the companies below seem to consistently pay at least $10 hourly if not more, although in rare cases it may drop below that rate just depending on the client you're handling calls for.

2U – Read 2U Review – US only. This job involves handling tech and customer support for students and faculty who are using 2U's online, cloud-based platform for lessons. The rate of pay isn't listed on the site, but Glassdoor indicates that almost all of the jobs here pay over $40,000 yearly, so it's most likely a $10+ per hour job.

Blooms Today – Read Blooms Today Work at Home Review – US only, hiring seasonally for work from home flower orders. If you work for them as an independent contractor, you make a flat $15 hourly.

The company also has several other phone jobs you can do from home, but these pay less than $10 hourly. Some of the ones that pay less than $10 hourly are base plus commission, so when commission is factored in, it's possible you may average out to more than $10 an hour.

Support.com – Read Support.com Work From Home Review – US. They have many different tech support positions open on a regular basis. The rate of pay may vary a little for each type of job, but when I reviewed the company I discovered that the remote services tech job paid $11 hourly.

Someone did comment on that review and let me know the rate of pay had actually been lowered for the remote services tech job, but they didn't say to what — so it's possible they may no longer qualify to be on this list. If anyone works for them, please let me know if they pay less than $10 hourly and I will remove them.

Hopefully this list is a good starting point if you're looking for some higher-paying work from home positions! Many of these (particularly the non-phone options) are jobs that pay $10 an hour with no experience.

Please keep in mind that the above companies may or may not be hiring right this moment.

  1. Anna thank you for taking your time and putting this information out. I have been going crazy looking for jobs to work from home. I didn’t know where to start, but you have given me the key. Some of the programs I can’t afford right now but I definitely will get to them. I want my own translation business I am bilingual and so is my husband so we are looking into starting our business me Spanish and English and he speaks French Creole and English. But I just wanted to thank you for the information you have provided…

  2. Are these mostly no experience entry lvl jobs? Because i’m looking for a no experience entry lvl job that pays $10 or more per hour or weekly and payment is through direct deposit or paypal and i’m having a hard time find such jobs.

    • It’s a mix of entry-level and non-entry level. The only thing they all have in common is paying $10 or more hourly. You would need to click the links and read through the requirements for each job to see if it’s something you’d qualify for. I do know that Appen (listed above) is entry-level. And many of the phone jobs require little to no past customer service experience.

      This link does have a list of jobs that are entry-level – https://realwaystoearnmoneyonline.com/work-from-home-jobs-that-require-no-past-experience/

  3. Love your blog … always great informative articles. I work full-time for a pest control company; I’ve been here 5 years and love the people I work for. However, I also love my side-hustle. At night and on the weekends I am an App Developer. My website is http://www.bakersfieldbizapp.com. Even though Bakersfield is part of my business name, because that is where I live, I can develop apps for anyone anywhere. So … for anyone wanting to add this as a side hustle for themselves; I pay a $100.00 commission for each signed contract and I do all the work as far as development and publication.

  4. Great article, I work from home now but I needed more job ideas to build my income more than it is right now so thanks for this article it will surely help!

  5. I just wanted to say thank you so much for this article!! I was looking for a work from home position to take some of the pressure off my husband. I found you blog and applied at a bunch of the company’s listed and got a job!!! This was a life saver! Thank you again!!

  6. Thank you for your time and effort looking into these companies ! Have a blessed day say a prayer for me please , as I am disabled and need to work. I did go to collage for nine yrs to earn my Phd , however, it does not do me much good if I can not work. Have a very blessed day!

  8. Looking for some extra money working at home. Currently I have 3 kids and my youngest being 20 months. I’ve always worked but the pay where I live verses Daycare does not make it worth my time to leave the home. I have worked in many industries from banking, sales and property management. Any suggestions? Thanks Renee

    • I have tried and tried to find out me information on the IMV job lead and I’m not finding anything! Can someone lead in the right direction and let me know where I need to go to apply for a position!

  9. Support.com pays their RSTs and MT reps 9.75 per hour plus .50 per hour for your expenses (internet, etc).

  10. Kindly anna suggest that how can we work from Pakistan…and how abt anyone ‘s experiance at work(appen Butler hill)????

    • Hi Sana, All my worldwide resources are located here – https://realwaystoearnmoneyonline.com/2014/12/where-to-look-for-worldwide-work-at-home.html.

  11. Higher One sold their customer care department to an offshore company. All customer care will be foreign by the end of 2015.

    • Thanks for letting me know that. I wondered why I didn’t see where they were hiring this year. Really stinks when companies do this. 🙁

  12. Hi, I just want to inform you that in 2013 Appen Butler Hill used to pay 21$/hour for German speaking independent web search evaluators outside the US. I used to work for them and it was easy money! I can absolutely recommend this job!

  13. I am so happy I came across this Blog, GREAT work! It is a wealth of information & I will be back many times over to scour all the information you have given us.Thanks again & please stop by my blog @ www.greenmomreviews.com

  14. Awesome list! Really helpful, especially for someone like me who’s looking for supplemental income 🙂 Thanks for compiling this!

  15. I work for a pack in Cedar Rapids at only paid $9 an hour and now they changed things so that they don’t even provide the equipment anymore you have to have your own equipment and pay for your own Internet

  16. Direct interactions is a great company to work for. They really care about their employees. They are currently hiring for a few different positions. I have been with them for almost a year and couldn’t be happier 🙂

  17. Hi @Anna! Thank you so much for this writing this blog, and saving the hapless souls out of their misery. I had read about Lionbridge on one of your posts, and have applied there (waiting for work to start). After having gone through a multitude of scams, this was the 1st legit site I came across. Please keep on doing this!!

    • Each link should take you to a full review of the company on this blog (another blog post) and that blog post should have a link to apply down toward the bottom.

  18. Lifebushido pays foreign workers $2.50 an hour. I was unable to find a reason for this discrepancy in pay. I wrote to owner/founder and flatly said I could not work for this rate and that other sites I work for pay based on competency, not location. I received no reply.

    • I’m glad you posted this @Maria Fiallos! I too applied and got sent a whole load of materials to read through. I was shocked to find that little gem about Lifebushido paying foreigners $2.50 per hour. It’s beyond a joke! I didn’t even bother responding to them. What’s even more baffling is that they wanted me to do some market research in my country, under the guise it was part of the job application process!

      • Yes… I’m actually pretty shocked as I was about to go through the same process… Clearly they are looking for workers from certain countries where the conversion rate works out to more… However where I am located… there is no way I could get paid $12 a week to work part time. That is basically volunteer work! They should really be ashamed that they are exploiting people who are clearly desperate for work. I feel disappointed as I read good reviews about this company from US based workers and thought it might be worth a try however looks like I will have to continue looking!

  19. Great!!!

    Your website is full of knowledge and positive energy. you will go way ahead then others. I have shared with my friends and family. 🙂

    All the best
    Dipesh

    I would greatly welcome with some constructive criticism if anyone has the time. I’m at http://ownamall.com

      • That’s so not worth it. I was thinking of applying, but no longer. I earn more at Rev captioning.

        • I wonder if it’s because the Philippines has low living standards or because the third party’s local branch (ABH Phils) gets more than half of what the client company supposedly pays the website evaluator. Still, it’s not fair that compensation isn’t consistent across countries. So what if $13 goes a long way for a Filipino living in the Philippines? He/She still does the same work and spends the same time as his/her counterparts overseas.
