However, that is an entirely unrealistic assumption to make. If you have good (don&amp;#39;t have to be excellent) writing skills, you can undoubtedly become a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://medium.com/the-gyst/can-you-become-a-freelance-writer-with-no-experience-200764a8bcde&quot;&gt;freelance content writer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;3.

What does a freelance transcriptionist do?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;As simple as it may sound, transcriptionists take an audio (or video) recording and turn it into text. If you think that you&amp;#39;ll make a good transcriptionist, I have better news for you. Here are 3 Free Transcription Tools You Can Try&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ai-media.tv/the-best-free-transcription-software/&quot;&gt;3 Free Transcription Tools You Can Try&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;4.

Managing Social Media&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $15-50&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Becoming a social media manager means that you will be managing all social media channels of one or many brands simultaneously. You will be responsible for growing their community, interacting with followers, and answering their comments. You may have guessed it, if you have a Facebook page, Instagram,..., enjoy scrolling through your feed, and know-how to interact with followers, then this job may be a good fit for you. Beginner social media managers usually charge around $15-50 per hour. The more skilled you become, the higher your rates will be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;5.

Customer Service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $10-30&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Since it costs companies a lot to hire full-time customer service agents, they find hiring freelancers who work remotely to be the best alternative. This does not mean that customer service isn&amp;#39;t a well-paid job, not at all! As you may have noticed, I keep saying that the more experienced you become, the more skilled you become, the more money you&amp;#39;ll be getting.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So what is customer service?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;A customer service agent is a person who picks up the phone/replies to your email before or after buying a product/service from a company. Usually, clients will be looking for a freelancer who speaks their customers&amp;#39; language fluently, has excellent communication skills, and has a lot of free time. If you see these requirements in you, then why not give customer service a shot?

Sounds simple right? All you need is some equipment: &amp;bull; Microphone &amp;bull; Headphones &amp;bull; Software Beginner voiceover actors&amp;#39; hourly rate is usually $10-30. However, the more experienced and skilled you become, the higher you can set your rates.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;8. Data Entry&quot; name=&quot;8. Data Entry&quot;&gt;8. Data Entry&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $6-20&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Data entry&amp;#39;s average rate can be low compared to other jobs because it can be (not always) much more straightforward and does not require that many qualifications. However, if you choose a narrow niche, get experience, you&amp;#39;ll be making a killing!&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;What is data entry?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;You&amp;#39;ll be typing data. Whether on a spreadsheet, a word document, &amp;hellip;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Can I start freelance data entry?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you have good typing skills, knowledge of MS, then go for it!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;9. Proofreading &amp;amp; Editing&quot; name=&quot;9. Proofreading &amp;amp; Editing&quot;&gt;9. Proofreading &amp;amp; Editing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $10-20&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What does a proofreader/editor do?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;(For the sake of simplifying it, and because many clients do not know that proofreading and editing are not the same things, I will give a general definition of the job/s. However, I believe you should know that these two are not the same.) Let&amp;#39;s take English as an example: Nowadays, many non-native English speakers (myself included) are entering the sector of content writing, copywriting &amp;hellip; Of course, the content they write will not (usually) sound natural to a native English speaker, and that&amp;#39;s where you come in! Editors make the final touches and turn that article/caption/email/story into art. That is why most clients require you to be a native speaker of that language, and some would even require a degree in your native language.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;10. Virtual Bookkeeping&quot; name=&quot;10. Virtual Bookkeeping&quot;&gt;10. Virtual Bookkeeping&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $10-20&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you have an accounting degree or had experience in bookkeeping, I have good news: several companies are hiring freelance bookkeepers, especially after the coronavirus pandemic.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Do I need a college degree to become a bookkeeper?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Absolutely no! You can learn bookkeeping online. You may even get online certificates to boost your chances and sharpen your skills.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;11. Photography&quot; name=&quot;11. Photography&quot;&gt;11. Photography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $10-20&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The first step is to get a camera. If you already own one, all you have to do is start taking pictures. Of course, you won&amp;#39;t be a good photographer in one week. It will take time and effort, but once you get to the stage where the photos you take are good enough to be sold, you can start building your portfolio and making money.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;12. Graphic Design&quot; name=&quot;12. Graphic Design&quot;&gt;12. Graphic Design&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $15-30&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Graphics, logos, brochures, flyers&amp;hellip; are essential for any business on earth, especially with the new shift to online businesses; that&amp;#39;s why &lt;a href=&quot;https://themarketingrecipe.blogspot.com/2021/07/top-15-marketing-jobs-you-should-consider-today.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;graphic designers&lt;/a&gt; are one of the most demanded freelancers on the internet. The average rate of a complete beginner freelance graphic designer is around $15-30 per hour. However, they usually bid per project instead of an hourly rate. Of course, the fixed price will depend on the client&amp;#39;s budget and your skills.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;13. Website or Application Testing&quot; name=&quot;13. Website or Application Testing&quot;&gt;13. Website or Application Testing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $5-15&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Web/app testing is a pretty easy task compared to the previously listed one. It is simply using a website or an app and then giving your feedback to the owner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Why would companies hire someone to do such a simple task?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Well, usually, employees are pretty familiar with the website/app; that&amp;#39;s why their feedback and user experience are not as objective as needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Are there any requirements?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Guess what, NONE! Anyone can be a website or application tester; why don&amp;#39;t you try it out?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;14. Game Testing&quot; name=&quot;14. Game Testing&quot;&gt;14. Game Testing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $7-40&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is every gamer&amp;#39;s dream: getting paid for gaming. While playing, game testers have to take notes of any glitches or bugs in the game and then report them to the client to fix these errors. Note that having an IT background will give you a push in this industry; however, it is not a requirement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1&gt;&lt;a id=&quot;15. Virtual Assistant&quot; name=&quot;15. Virtual Assistant&quot;&gt;15. Virtual Assistant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;Average Hourly Rate for Beginners: $4-6&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Many tend to think of a virtual assistant as a secretary. At the same time, it may be true in some cases, the tasks performed by a virtual assistant are of enormous scope, and it&amp;#39;s anything your client needs: from managing their schedule, their emails, social media, some even perform bookkeeping and graphic design. So the more multitasked you are, the better fit you&amp;#39;ll be. Note: The average rate for a beginner may be low; however, you can start making more than $15 or $20 an hour as you gain experience.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;"
