Many people who read this blog are looking for work from home or entry-level positions. And even though there are many (I shared a list of 27 jobs for beginners recently), most of them do not offer extremely high salaries. But I share them frequently because I get a lot of requests about them.
For entry-level jobs, lower salaries tend to be the norm. And you may have seen it so much on this and other job boards that you feel like remote jobs in general just don’t pay well!
In fact, you CAN work from home and make good money! And no, the jobs offering a lot of money are generally not beginners, but it is possible to work from home earning $100,000 a year or more.
If you are looking to make a lot of money without a lot of experience, your best bet is to start a home business around something you already know how to do. But if you want to work from home for a company that hires remote workers and make good money, you’ll need to prove that you have previous experience and skills in this industry.

6 – Flexible jobs
Flexible jobs is one of my favorite sites for finding remote jobs and discovering new companies that are hiring remotely.
Most of what I see out there when I check the ads pay well above minimum wage and are well-known companies. The best thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee that ALL ads are scam free.
They list hundreds of jobs, all remote or flexible, five days a week.
There is no advertising on the site either!
Since there are no ads, they charge a membership fee, as that is the only way they will see a return on their job search efforts. But it’s cheap: you can access it 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 immediately so you don’t get charged again. You can do this at any time during your 14 day verification period.
