One of the most common requests I receive from readers are for those remote jobs that offer higher pay. And in this day and time, I totally get it. With the rising costs of groceries and gas, many people are having to work two jobs just to make ends meet! It seems it keeps getting more and more expensive to live every single year.
If you are needing a remote job but need at minimum $18 hourly for the work you do, read on. I have gone through the recent work at home job leads (these are located here) to narrow it down to just those companies that pay that much or more.
Please keep in mind that the requirements and skills will vary from company to company. Not all of these are entry-level. If you are looking for JUST entry-level work, you can see some options for that here.
Please understand remote jobs fill quickly, and these may not be open at the time you attempt to apply.

Looking For More?
If so, FlexJobs is a good way to find them if you create an account and do a search. Their job board isn’t free, but I’ve been a member and found it to be really useful for me because all the job leads fit the following criteria:
- All jobs are either remote or flexible in nature
- Scam-free (all jobs vetted by humans before posting)
- No ads or junk on their site, so you can browse distraction-free
- Hundreds of jobs posted every day across tons of categories
- Respected, long-standing, and truly useful
They let you try them out for 14 days for $2.95. So there is not much risk if you just want to create an account and see if you find anything you may want to apply for.
Good luck!
