Hi guys. I was laid off today and need to find a remote job asap. Preferably $20/hour or so. Any help is appreciated.

Update: thank you to the commenters for helping and for your patience with me. I am looking for work in customer service or administrative work as that is what I have experience in. My apologies for my vagueness and thank you all for your help.

I'm eager to explore remote job opportunities, but my lack of a degree and limited secretarial experience (which primarily involved answering phone calls and providing directions) may be limiting my chances. Despite having a high school diploma, I'm worried that my skills may not be sufficient to secure a remote job. Can you suggest any remote jobs that don't require a degree or extensive experience?

Hey everyone,

I'm currently looking for legitimate part-time remote jobs that don't require any prior experience. I want to work only from home, not interested in anything that requires on-site visits or travel.

I'm open to anything flexible: customer support, data entry, content moderation, virtual assistant work, or even simple writing tasks. Just looking for something real and not scammy.

If you've had a good experience with any beginner-friendly remote job (or know someone who has), I would appreciate any suggestions or advice!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Edit: Thought I’d edit the post in case it helps someone. Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s working for me:

EliteSurveySites: I’ve experimented with a lot of side income ideas, and a few things finally started to click. One big breakthrough was using this site, they helped me find legit, better-paying survey platforms. In the beginning, I was barely earning anything, a few cents per survey, if that. But after sticking with it for a few weeks and being consistent, I now average over $1500/month from the recommended panels.

Fiverr: On the side, I’ve also been picking up small writing tasks, mostly short-form content like social media captions for LinkedIn and Instagram. That brings in an extra $200–$300 each month.

Beta Testing: Another thing that worked for me: giving honest feedback to startups. If you search Reddit or niche forums for phrases like “need testers”, you’ll find plenty of early-stage products looking for feedback. They usually pay around $10–$15 per session, and it’s pretty straightforward work.

Just sharing what’s worked for me so far, I’ll be sure to update the list if I find something else that works too.
