Entry-Level Remote Jobs For Digital Nomads

1. How to find an entry-level remote job?

You’ve certainly read job ads in which employers are searching for someone with ten different skills and at least 2-4 years of – paid or unpaid – experience for an entry-level (remote) position. That is just insane! Not impossible, but it’s not the most ideal way of spending your school years doing hundreds of tasks, for instance. Anyway, we’re sure you’ve gained some knowledge – only unconsciously. Think about it, and map your skill set!

As a student, it’s better to concentrate on school projects and only work part-time to finish your studies as soon as possible. Once you’ve done with that, you can start broadening your horizons concerning the job market. To be honest, it seems kind of impossible that you don’t gain any experience while at school or doing student jobs.

Sell your photos online!

As a digital nomad, you’ll see unique, beautiful and surprising shores, buildings, landscapes, urban areas, etc. Whenever something catches your eye, stop and take a photo of it. You could sell it online on Adobe Stock Photo. You register, upload your work, and make money in royalties. The sum is based on the size, the content type and the subscription plan chosen. If you’re into actions, sign up for
Byrd. We also consider this an entry-level digital nomad job where you must take photos of events clients ask you to do. You just register, submit your name, where you live, etc. and grab your camera to capture moments!

Get a job as a tutor/online teacher!

Let us start by saying thank you. We believe teachers and tutors are not appreciated enough in our society. Sharing your knowledge is a great, and you should be proud of yourself. Even if you haven’t gained any professional teaching experience yet. But the time will come! Start by finding a language partner on italki to practise your pedagogical skills. It’s an informal way of exchanging knowledge. When you feel you’re ready to earn money, explore the page for paid teachers on the site or sign up for another platform. In some cases, you must be a native speaker if you wish to teach a language. Read our blog post on what it’s like to be an online tutor.

It’s up to you how much and how often you bid. (Find out how many times you submit a quote for free.) Without any experience, we would suggest that you check out the data entry jobs first. You would add some data to some databases. Easy. Yet this kind of job is slightly monotonous, but you would manage your workload and stop when it’s enough.
