Best travel insurance for digital nomads.

RELATED: How to Become a Digital Nomad

Tips For Online Jobs Without Experience

Don’t run away yet! After that list, you’ll need some tips before heading out there to apply.

1. Teach yourself a bit

Get free two months at Skillshare or try out Udemy. You can take a few intro courses to get two steps ahead of the game, make it seem like you’re more experienced, and at the least, be a bit more efficient during your first few weeks!

The cool thing about entry-level remote jobs is that you can work from anywhere.
I’ve been able to travel so much by working online, and I taught myself literally everything I know!

You’ll have to WORK before you can get to work. This is the most important tip to keep in mind when wanting an entry-level online job without experience. Do the work and teach yourself something before you even think of applying.

Find out if you even like it! Watching YouTube videos, doing some sample work, anything to get a tad bit of “experience” or, at the least, the basic knowledge of the job you’re aiming for.

2. Prepare some questions

Just like in a job interview for any job, you should be prepared to ask some questions of your own. Sometimes, the questions that you ask in an ‘interview’ will tell your potential employer much more about the sort of person you are than your answers to the interview questions themselves.

It is a great opportunity for you to take back the discussion and build up a bit of a relationship with the interviewer.

3. Get specific

In your cover letter, and yes, you should have a cover letter, be sure to highlight a few particular jobs or experiences you have had that you feel would make you the perfect candidate for the job you are applying for.

The competition is fierce, so you need to promote your services in any way you can. Be sure to also point out any tools you have used and any remote work you have already done, no matter how little.

Clean up that resume and slap on a cover letter!

4. Avoid competition

Although it may be tempting to head to the biggest freelancing sites out there, such as Fiverr and Upwork, bear in mind that everyone is probably doing the same, so this is where the competition will be the most fierce. With that said, they are still great platforms!

But a way to avoid this is to use a remote job site that screens the employers for you, which for many people may be worth the small fee. It’s not to say don’t try the big sites (it’s how I got started!), but you may want to try some more specific avenues too. A popular one to use is FlexJobs.

5. Communication is vital

When talking to a future employee, be sure to think about what you are going to say. One of the best things about communicating virtually, such as by email, is that you have time to think about the message you want to get across.

Before you fire off an email reply, take a step back and think about everything you need to say, and send all relevant documents at once.

6. Show your ability

From the minute you start looking for a new job, you need to be showcasing what you can do to prospective employers.

This means that you should keep on top of your resume, making sure that it is up-to-date and succinct. Have a portfolio on hand if it’s relevant, and even some testimonials or references.

You can do a few simple things like a logo for an imaginary business or a short writing sample so you have something to show.

This is some of the equipment you will need to teach a language online.
This is some of the equipment you may need to work online. Coffee is first on the list!

7. Be persistent

You likely won’t get the first online job you apply for. Or the second. Or even the third. Legit online jobs with no experience are definitely out thereโ€”they just have a lot of competition. One of the best ways to increase your odds of getting one is to play the numbers game.

The more jobs you apply to, the more likely you are to get one! My recommendation is to apply for as many jobs/gigs as you can find, even if they may not seem like a perfect fit. Even apply for the ones you don’t think you’re qualified for! You may be surprised what a good cover letter can do for you.

8. Can you actually travel and live abroad?!

Some of you are just here looking for work you can do online and from home, but some of you are here because you want to work online so you can travel more! With that said, you always need to triple-check all job requirements and make sure they don’t mind you traveling.

Since I was always a contractor with my online work, none of them cared where I was located. Depending on who you’re working for, it would be wise to make sure you’re allowed to live in other countries and also keep in mind the time zone differences.

Finding High-Paying Online Jobs with No Experience

The thing about most entry-level online jobs that you can get with no experience is that the pay isn’t always the greatest. It makes sense. I mean, if you could make millions with an easy data-entry job and work remotely, everyone and their mother would be doing it.

But there are actually some great high-paying online jobs with no experience availableโ€”you just need to know what to look for (and maybe a little bit of luck). I’ve listed the average hourly pay underneath all the online jobs with no experience above, so that’s a great place to start.

Make your experience happen!

You should also consider that once you get even one online job with no experience and execute it effectivelyโ€”bam, you suddenly have experience! The next job you apply for, you can say you know what you’re doing (and actually mean it), which increases your odds of making more moolah.

If you’re looking to make the big bugs ASAP, try to get an entry-level online job in translation or website/game testing, as these have some of the highest rates for those with no experience.

If you’re in it for the long haul and don’t mind working your way up, try to get into content writing, photo editing, or VA work. Starting rates may not be ideal, but once you have a little bit of experience, you can start raising your rates.

If you’ve spent any time searching for online jobs with no experience, you’ve likely come across (at least) a few posts that seem a little scammy. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon with online entry-level jobs, so you’ll need to keep your wits about you as you sift through the myriad of options.

Here are some things to look out for during your job search:

  • It’s too good to be true. Being optimistic is a great trait. But when it comes to searching for online jobs with no experience, you should definitely have a discerning eye. If you see a post offering thousands of dollars for a seemingly basic job, it’s most likely too good to be true.
  • Get rich quick schemes. Avoid at all costs! If you see a post promising to make you big money fast, skip it! These posts typically involve trading or MLM schemes, and they’ll likely try to convince you that you need to spend some money before you profit. No, no, no! Some sites like Upwork require users to pay a small fee to apply for jobs, but you should never be investing large amounts of cash for an entry-level position. Period!
  • You can’t find any info on the company. If you come across a job that looks great but you’re having a hard time finding info about the company, that’s usually not a good sign. You should be able to find even small companies on LinkedIn and Trustpilot, and if you can’t it’s definitely a red flag.
  • They want you to work for free. This can be common on freelancer sites. You find a great-looking job, you apply, you get an interview, and they want you to complete a trial assignment. That’s all well and great, as long as they are PAYING you to complete the trial assignment. Too many job listings are getting away with free labor by pretending they will hire you after you complete this free job. Don’t fall for it. Any legit listing will have no problem paying for your time if they actually intend on offering you a position.

Best Sites for Getting Entry-Level Remote Jobs

We mentioned some of the specific job boards above but here are some general job boards where you can find TONS of entry-level online jobs too…

  • FlexJobs โ€” TOP PICK! โ€” is an excellent site for getting entry-level remote jobs, ranging from part-time to full-time. Plus, they screen all jobs before posting them, so you don’t have to worry about applying to anything shady.
  • There is sure to be a whole host of entry-level remote work on the We Work Remotely job board.
  • If you don’t want to go searching and just want the jobs to come to you, sign up to Working Nomads, as they will send a curated list of opportunities straight to your inbox.
  • Fiverr is one of the best sites out there for online jobs with no experience, perfect if you want to build up your portfolio quickly. (And no, it’s not just $5 jobs!)
  • You will find all sorts of remote working opportunities on Upwork, including design jobs, writing, sales and marketing, admin support, and lots more.
  • Lastly, Facebook! It’s actually a great resource for finding work. Either join a few digital nomad opportunity and job groups or search for your specific job and see if there are Facebook groups catering to those jobs. I found my VA in a Facebook group. It’s a great resource.
