Work-Whenever-You-Want Jobs From Home – [45+ Legit Companies!]

Published October 9, 2020 By Anna T. This post may contain affiliate links. Regardless, I only recommend sites I've researched and/or used and trust.

I get lots of Facebook messages and emails from people who are looking for work from home jobs that don't come with strict, set schedules. This is probably the second most common request I get next to people looking for non-phone work from home jobs.

In the last six years, I've actually written about a lot of jobs like this, but I've never made a list of companies although I do have a list of part time work from home jobs. So this post is a big list of those jobs I've reviewed that allow you to work more or less when it's convenient for you.

Also, please keep in mind that not every company listed below is hiring at this time. If you see something that interests you that isn't open, keep tabs on the company page and check back.

Want To Find More High-Paying Home-Based Jobs?

I recommend getting a membership at FlexJobs. I'm a member here, and love it! They pre-screen all their job leads for scams prior to posting them and most of what I've found pay a respectable wage. They also have a policy against posting job leads submitted by companies that do not have actual, physical offices.

FlexJobs has been listed as the top site for telecommuting jobs on Forbes, CNN, USA Today, and several other reputable media outlets.

You can go into Account Settings once you have your membership and set it up so it doesn't bill you for the next month if you just want to try it for a month and see how you like it. This is what I did, but I opted to keep my membership.

It costs $14.95 monthly, and it's easy to cancel. You can get 30 percent off your membership if you use promo code AFFILPROMO at checkout.

Do you need a work at home job that lets you work whenever you want? Here's a list of 45 companies that regularly offer work from home jobs with no set schedule.

    I personally would like to advocate for LIVEOPS. I do this as a part time job. Commit to only 15/hrs per week. You take calls and place orders from the products “as sold on TV”. You are paid $.23 – $.50/per minute. The only investment is the headset system and a laptop. As part time, couple hrs in the am and a couple of hours on the weekends, bringing in an additional $300.mth,.

    Came across this on Pinterest1 It’s super interesting but I was wondering if you knew about any of these kinds of jobs that hire people working from abroad? That would be really cool and useful.

        The link is broken. It does not take you to a list of jobs you can do anywhere in the world.

    This is a great list. I still have a lot to learn about what is out there for the work at home mom. BTW, your graphics are great. I found your site through Pinterest.

    Anna, I work for a company called Stitch Fix. The majority of positions are remote, and many allow you to set your own schedule. I am a remote stylist, pretty much a personal stylist and work whenever I can. Minimum is 15 hours a week and Max is 29 unless you are on a special team or are hired full time. No phone calls involved, but they only hire in specific geographic areas.compensation is $15 hour and the company just won an award for best culture, beating out Facebook among others. Check out the careers page at StitchFix.com.

    What a great list! May I ask why you don’t mention user testing sites in your list? I’ve found them a great source of income in the past.

    • Anna says

      May 26, 2015 at 8:20 am

      I think mainly because for most it’s extra money only. Have you been able to make more than extra money doing it?

      • SaveOur Shekels says

        May 26, 2015 at 9:02 am

        I did make several hundred $s a few years ago at it. Not enough to live on, but a nice extra amount nonetheless. I don’t live in the US so I’d guess US-based workers would have even more of an opportunity to make money. (I covered this in a blogpost of mine for English-speaking expats).

        • SaveOur Shekels says

          May 26, 2015 at 9:05 am

          Oh, and pay is on the order of $8-12 per job, and if there are enough jobs available and you’re motivated enough, you can probably do 4-5 jobs per weekday. Jobs tend to increase in the run-up to the holiday season (say, mid-Spetember).

    Thank you for this list. I am trying to find ways to earn my income online because of medical reasons. So far I have not found anything that would replace my income. So, maybe I will have to do several different things. Anyway, thank you for all your hard work in research and testing. It is a Godsend to us all.

    Thank you so much Anna!! You listed so many things I didn’t know even existed on the internet. I also use oDesk.com to make some extra money. They have full-time and part-time jobs. I would watch for scams though. I would make sure the employer has a good reputation before applying. If they ask you to work outside of oDesk DON’T DO IT! 🙂

    August 16, 2014 at 9:52 am

    Thanks again.

    I have been reading alot in internet about online jobs but most of them were almost similar and not worth. But after reading this post I got lot of new ways and ideas. These are great collection. Thanks Anna for creating such a wonderful resource for us.

  15. Lee Ann says

    August 10, 2014 at 9:58 am

    If you have worked for Leapforce, Appen Butler Hill, Lionbridge or any of the other similar I would say to stay away from iSoftStone. I was asked to train with them but in the end it didn’t work out because they all use the same UHRS platform. I spent 4 hours with the project manager of iSoftStone trying to resolve a problem to be able to log in to get the training guide after 4 hours of messing about and making new accounts and log ins the issue was unresolvable and I couldn’t do the training with them. I was extremely disappointed.

    • Stephanie Elgaydi says

      September 24, 2014 at 11:48 pm

      I am having the same problem right now. I have been waiting to get this resolved for two weeks now and the project manager assigned to me won’t return my emails. As for the UHRS platform, it sucks. It has too many bugs and they NEVER responded to technical difficulty reports. I don’t they ever fixed them either.

    August 9, 2014 at 11:37 am

    Great post as always, Anna. I’ve been having a lot of success freelancing through Fiverr. It’s flexible because I decide what “gig” I offer, turn around time, etc and can turn on “vacation mode” whenever I just want a break or catch up on backlog. I can write a guest blog post about the experience if you want.

    Hi Anna,

      August 8, 2014 at 12:40 pm

      Thanks Joyce, so glad you find it helpful! I am anxious to add some more things to it — I know there are a ton of others. I try to keep lists like this updated once I make them since I know new companies pop up and old ones go out of business all the time.
