Dear Work at Home Woman,

Is there anything non-phone-related that’s legitimate? I currently work for a call center and hate constantly being on the phone!

Thanks, Hope

Hi Hope, I know where you’re coming from. I used to be a prior authorization nurse for Medicaid. I was on the phone all day, approving nursing visits and medical equipment. It was exhausting and made me want to crawl into a cave at the end of the day. Fortunately, there are many work-from-home jobs where you don’t have to be on the phone.

Here are 29 legit work-from-home non-phone jobs and hiring companies!

Data entry is one of the most common work-at-home jobs I receive questions about. I’m hesitant to include some of these gigs because they pay so little – I’m talking pennies per document. But here are some places where you can find data entry jobs. Sometimes, you’ll need to provide other administrative services in addition to data entry.

• Amazon MTurk
• Capital Typing

• Robert Half

Payouts and functions (watching videos, surfing the web, testing websites, taking surveys, reading emails, and playing video games) vary greatly. The nice thing about short tasks is most of them can be done on your smartphone during your spare time, making it a great way to earn a little extra money.

6. Use Smartphone Apps

Don’t worry, with this one, you’re not talking on the phone but instead using its digital capabilities to make money.

Nowadays, online competition is fierce, so companies are getting creative with how they reach consumers. Instead of spending marketing dollars on traditional advertising, brands are reaching out to consumers in unique ways, like smartphone apps. The great thing about using your smartphone to make money is there are actual customer reviews for each app, so you can get a better idea of which ones are legit and which ones to stay away from.

7. Paid Surveys

There are many legitimate websites where you can offer your opinion in exchange for cash, rewards, and sweepstake entries.

8. Transcriber

Do you have excellent listening skills? Are you a fast and accurate typist? Then help businesses transcribe audio files into written documents. With transcription work, you’re not paid by the worked minute, but instead, by the audio minute. A transcriptionist who is experienced usually has a 3-to-1 turnaround rate, meaning that it takes them 3 minutes to produce 1 minute of transcribed audio. Most transcription jobs are freelance positions, so you’ll be responsible for paying self-employment taxes, but you get to create your own schedule and no phone work is required.

Here are some companies that hire online transcribers:

10. Web Search Evaluator

If you are detail-oriented and enjoy doing web research, this next work-from-home job is for you! Search engine evaluators evaluate whether internet search results are accurate and relevant to the search query’s intent. A couple of things to note about these positions are they are part-time freelance roles, that pay around $20 per hour (according to Glassdoor). I’ve also heard that the preliminary test you have to take to do these roles is quite difficult.

Here are a few companies that hire for these roles:

• Appen
• Teamwork.ai
• TELUS
