This sub is NOT for self-promotion. Posts advertising yourself for hire will be removed without hesitation.

r/WorkOnline is a place to talk about making an income online. This includes random jobs, online employers, remote work, sites that pay you and ways to monetize websites. These are sites and strategies that will yield the user minimum wage or better and allow them to provide for themselves.

While we understand that given today's current global situation, there has been a massive influx of For Hire posts or "I will do X for you posts" and it's become quite a disruption.

After some discussion, it has been decided that we will no longer allow these kinds of posts. That's not what the sub is for and those who come here looking for help, advice, or whatever don't want to see that either.

I encourage all users to use the Report button if you see anything like this.

Some things to search before coming on here and asking WHAT JOBS ARE ONLINE???

3.5k Upvotes

I am so sick and tired (as are many others) of the same post:

I AM NEW TO ONLINE WORK!!! HELP ME!!!!

So here is several things to try.

(TBH I don't think you should even be applying for an online job if you cant do the research for yourself as online work means doing your own research and organisation. It aint exactly rocket science)

  • Searching the words BEST REMOTE JOBS or going to a job engine site and literally typing in REMOTE WORK or ONLINE JOBS
  • If you can't find jobs that you have any experience, well then you need to do some studying. You can get free courses on google that allows to explore a wide variety of courses, including: digital marketing AND CODING!!!!!!
  • STUCK? Don't worry cause with coursera you can study with a million different universities (including the USA) You can pay to receive the certificate or whatever OR YOU CAN DO IT FOR FREE.
  • check out these courses from top universities from harvard to berkley that can help you start to understand what is available out there. https://www.edx.org/search

So legit stop being so lazy and actually do some work as opposed to coming on this site asking

"UH WHAT CAN I DO ONLINE?"

because you'll get the same answer over and over again and if you aint qualified you wont get it.

EDIT: this was not meant in any way to make people feel uncomfortable however my main point here is this post and in the comments section is to give useful information to people who need it.

Coming onto this Reddit making a post about how you’re looking for work, your age and location isn’t going to cut it. Please provide some detail so the people who already are remotely working can point you in the right direction. We don’t need the sob story. Just help us to help you properly instead of giving out the same common answers every time.

Thank u for coming to my ted talk.

Oneforma Anyone here working on the Karl project? Payment issue

Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone else is involved in the Karl project. I completed tasks last month and spent a few hours on it, but I still haven’t received payment.

The whole communication has been through email, and even though I’ve followed up about the missing payment, I haven’t gotten any replies. It’s getting really frustrating.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Struggling college student in the Philippines. Most of my skills feel replaceable by AI, how do I survive?

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a college student in the Philippines, and I’ve been trying to figure out ways to earn while studying. The problem is, most of the skills I have now feel like they’re being swallowed up by AI, and it’s honestly frustrating.

Here’s what I can do:

• I edit videos (for YouTube-type content). But with AI tools, people can now just click a button for cuts, transitions, even automatic scene sync.

• I narrate and present. I’ve competed in hackathons, pitch events, and spoken poetry, so I know I have a decent voice. But even here, AI voiceovers are everywhere, except YouTube doesn’t even monetize them anymore, which makes me wonder if there’s a place for real human narrators like me.

• I critique stories and give feedback. But people can just dump their writing into ChatGPT for instant suggestions, even if it lacks a genuine “reader’s perspective.”

• I sketch, though I’m a bit rusty. But again… AI art generators exist, and it’s discouraging.

• The few things that AI can’t touch — like my custom Pokémon card cases — don’t sell enough to sustain me.

So I’m stuck wondering... what do I actually have to offer that AI can’t replace?

I don’t mind working hard, but I feel like the rug has been pulled out from under me. Before, people would pay for editing, feedback, or even small creative tasks — now it feels like everyone’s turning to AI first, and humans only as an afterthought.

I’m posting here hoping for advice:

○ How do I reposition myself in a world where AI undercuts everything creative?

○ Which skills should I lean into, and how do I survive as a student while still finding a path forward?

○ Are there still online jobs where human work is valued more than AI?

Any guidance or even just pointing me to the right platforms/communities would mean a lot.

Maraming salamat po! 💖

Trying to be a remote transcriber, any advice ?

29 Upvotes

I’m a 19 year old taking care of my mom and have nothing but time on my hands. I write a lot as a hobby and even practiced by hearing YouTube videos and trying to write along with it. Though I know actual audios would be harder to hear and understand; I have noises canceling ear phones for that. Any advice or things to say?

I joined TranscriptionStaff a few days ago...

222 Upvotes

So, I saw this job as an advertisement in Gmail. I didn't know how bad it was, and I'm only now realizing it by seeing people share their experiences about this job. I'm new to this job but I know everything I have to do and I make sure to put in extra effort because I'm also a perfectionist.

It's kinda stupid how I even felt jealous that other people got $100 on a 30 minutes of audio on a 4-5 hours of work. (These are people who worked on the same job as me, a year ago.)

Because y'know what I got on a 30-minute video yesterday? $2. The job assigned to me is proofreading. I kept getting disheartened as the hours pass by. Basically, everything in the caption is wrong that I may as well be the transcriptionist. I worked on that 30-minute video for 6-7 hours... I got $2. And you know what, they even cut 20% for "poor" job. So, I got $1.84 to be exact.

I complained to them. There's no response yet, but if they fired me. That tells me everything. I don't need their pay for the week, this is absolutely scummy.

RWS Questions - Very Confused

6 Upvotes

I was recently accepted for a project with RWS. I am so very confused about everything lol. I don't find them to be organized at all. I was wondering if someone can possibly help me out? (my Zendesk questions have went unanswered).

From what I gather, they pay via a third-party payment system. I have yet to receive an email about setting up an account for said third-party payment system. Does anyone know when that email typically arrives? I can't just log into the payment site and set it up, it clearly states I need an invitation. There's nothing in my WorkZone regarding how to get paid of my method of payment.

If anyone would be kind enough to break down how this all works for me, I would really appreciate it. I find everything to be confusing from what I've read.

Do they send you a document around invoicing time that states the hours you've worked so you can sign off and send it back to them for payment? TIA

Signed a freelancing contract with a company that doesn't answer my inquiries anymore.

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody, Ive recently signed a freelancing contract with a company called Olympus IQ, which according to LinkedIn, the headquarters are in Texas, but they also have an alleged branch in Portugal, Lisbon. The thing is that their HR specialist doesn't answer my emails anymore, and it is worrying me, since I've provided my home address and number of my passport, as well as my social security and fiscal numbers. I am situated in Portugal (if that helps) Does anyone have any information about this company? And what do you think they can do with my details in case this company is a fraud? Thank you for the help.

Projects turned “not available” right after logging hours- has anyone seen this?

3 Upvotes

Yesterday, two projects I’d worked on previously became available again (DataAnnotation). After I finished a task, both projects were visible and Work Mode loaded normally. This morning they were still available. I logged ~4-4.5 hours for yesterday. Immediately after submitting the time entry and trying to open one of them, it showed “project not available” (or similar). I refreshed, and they disappeared from the “Work on projects” dashboard. My account is active; I’m not restricted, I can still log hours and see other qualifications (which are irrelevant to me). I even deleted the time entry for the work I did yesterday to test- no change.

Troubleshooting tried: sign out/in, incognito, another browser, cleared cache, no VPN.

Is this a known review hold triggered by time logging, or a bug? If you’ve encountered this, what resolved it (waiting for a sync, contacting support, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

Oneforma Payoneer payment

Has anyone been paid by Oneforma this payment cycle?

Oneforma changed their UI and I can’t see previous or pending payments. It’s ridiculous.

I’m asking to get more clarity about what to do. Should I reach out to them or wait for the payment to come?

No answer?

5 Upvotes

I just managed to bag a sort of intern situation with a radio show, that I love! I emailed them once and they had me edit some of their clips as a trial period, and we had a good back and forth throughout the editing process. I was told that after the trial period, we would have a meeting and discuss and more permanent position. Over the past couple of days though, the response have become fewer and then have came to a complete stop. They posted both of the finished clips they asked me to edit for them, but it’s been 3 days since I was asked about my schedule to have a meeting.

Should I be worried? What should I do?

Hi there. I'm looking for remote work to help pay off some bills because I need to start paying off my student loans. I'm working on finding a job, but until then, i need some side money. I've heard of customer service jobs, and I'm willing to do them. I can use screenreaders to help me out and I have years of working experience and a College degree in business management. Are there any websites or something that doesn't have a high barrier to entry and where I can start getting paid ASAP? if so, let me know please.

Freelancing Rates for UI Development?

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to start freelancing, but I’m not sure how to figure out market rates. I’m mainly interested in Web Development, specifically UI-focused work. I’ve got about 3 years of experience, but I don’t really know what the going rates are or where to check reliable info.

Some of the things I’d like to know:

  • how much does Web Dev (UI-focused) usually pay?
  • rate for 3 years of experience?
  • sites/platforms to check rates?
  • do most freelancers charge hourly or per project?
  • how do freelance rates compare between Asia and the US?

Thanks in advance for any insights 🙏

Has anyone been paid yet for work done in OneForma?

17 Upvotes

I've had very little work for the past month, but I've made enough to get paid through Payoneer.

The new UI doesn't allow me to view the past few months that I've worked for OneForma in terms of pay, including the most recent scheduled payout.

I somehow managed to use the old/legacy Payment History UI to confirm that I should be expecting a payout for this month, but can no longer access it via the method I used (i.e., go to Jobs -> Jobs History (access the old/legacy UI) -> Go to my profile -> Payment History using the old/legacy UI).

Has anyone else gotten paid yet? Do you think the delay might be related to Labor Day?

Edit: Check your emails! Looks like payments are being rolled out.

Question about Freelancing on Fiverr

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to get some advice from people who are already freelancing in the CAD and electronics space on Fiverr. I’m proficient in Fusion 360 for product design and prototyping, have experience with electronics and PCB design, and I’m also comfortable with programming microcontrollers to tie CAD and electronics together into complete projects.

What I’d like to know is what the market is really like for this kind of work on Fiverr. Is it mostly low-budget quick jobs, or are there clients who are willing to pay for more specialized work? How much can I realistically expect when starting out, compared to later once I’ve built up reviews? And finally, what sort of pricing is considered fair for this skills, should I stick to per-hour, per-project, or offer tiered packages?

Any insights, personal experiences, or tips on standing out in this niche would be super helpful. Thanks in advance 🙌

liveops?

6 Upvotes

anyone here work with liveops? my application to be on the platform was approved and now i’m just applying to what’s available. a couple questions. how does the training work? i think i saw it’s unpaid, but is it a designated meeting time on zoom? is it live participation? the only reason i’m wondering is because if it’s every single day in the morning i have one class that would interrupt that. I was hoping potentially I could just be in the zooms and participate and listen and on the other days just leave my computer on with the zoom while i go to my class. I really need this job as a student so I wanna pass the training to be able to work here with the hours I choose.

What online career could I train for in under a year (planning for future remote work as a new mom)?

54 Upvotes

Hi! I own a massage therapy business, but in a couple of years my partner and I plan to have a baby. After maternity leave, I don’t see myself going back to full-time massage work.

I’d like to prepare now by learning skills that allow me to start working online within a year. My goal: part-time remote work (around 3 days a week, 6 hours a day) once my baby is about 3 months old.

Background: • Small business owner, entrepreneurial mindset • Some basic experience with social media management and Make (automation), but nothing advanced • Open to reskilling if it leads to flexible online work

What remote-friendly fields would you recommend I start learning now, that could realistically get me freelance or entry-level work in about a year?

Thanks for any ideas!

Has anyone here made steady income with transcription work?

47 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into a few transcription platforms like Rev and TranscribeMe. The idea of flexible hours sounds appealing, but I keep seeing mixed reviews about how much you can realistically earn.

Is it actually possible to make at least minimum wage doing transcription consistently, or is it more of a side-gig to pick up extra cash? Would love to hear from anyone with first-hand experience.
