Many people who read this blog are on the hunt for work at home, entry-level positions. And while there are plenty of those (I shared a list of 27 jobs for beginners recently), most of them don't offer extremely high pay. But I share them frequently because I get a lot of requests for them.
With entry-level work, lower pay does tend to be the norm. And you may have seen it so much on this and other job sites that you are under the impression that remote jobs in general just don't pay well!
Actually, you CAN work at home and earn big bucks! And no, the positions offering big bucks typically aren't entry-level, but it is possible to work at home earning $100,000 per year or even more than that.
If you are looking to earn big bucks without a ton of experience, your best bet is to start up a home business around something you already know how to do. But if you want to work at home for a company that is hiring remote workers and earn big bucks, you're going to need to prove you have past experience and skills in that industry.

6 – FlexJobs
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies. The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free.
They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts. But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
