Need $18 Hourly or MORE Working Remote? These 10 Companies Are Hiring Now.

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 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.

Still, I encourage you to apply for anything you think you may be a fit for even if you don’t tick off every box the company has listed. I have seen on several occasions where companies will make exceptions and hire people even if they aren’t fully qualified on paper, just because they believe that person would be a perfect fit for the role.

Good luck to you if you apply for any of these. If any of the below positions are closed at the time you read this, just keep tabs on that company’s “hiring” page to see if the position (or any other remote positions) are available. Usually if a company is offering one remote job, they are offering others as well.

For More High Pay Work at Home …

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.

Go here to check it out and see what you think.

If you find this helpful and want to support me directly, why not buy me a coffee? Thanks so much, and good luck! 😊
