[00:01] from home. Remote work is becoming increasingly popular and increasingly accessible. And this is because it offers a lot of advantages. The first is that we will have flexible hours. The second is that we're going to save both

[00:15] time and money by not having to go to and from work every day. And lastly, in the vast majority of cases, we will significantly reduce our stress. I was recently browsing YouTube peacefully when

[00:28] a YouTube channel popped up that talks almost exclusively about talking about different online jobs we can do, and one video that I found super interesting, which is one of his most popular videos, gives us a top list of

[00:41] the best online jobs we can do. In this video, we have tested all of these online jobs that appear in this top list. And in this video we're going to tell you which ones really work, which ones

[00:54] are really interesting, and how much money we can actually earn thanks to these online jobs. Preparing these types of videos takes us quite a bit of time, we're talking weeks, so if you find the content interesting, don't hesitate to leave a

[01:07] like. And with that said, let's begin. The first job they tell us about is called Cambly. Camble is a platform where we can learn English or teach English and earn money for it. At Camley

[01:20] they pay $10 an hour for teaching English and they pay $1 an hour if we teach English to young children. The money generated with the platform is paid out first thing we did was read the opinions about this

[01:36] website. And the reviews, to be honest, were quite good. The only complaint from people who generated income with this platform was that they were paid per hour, but per hour connected while giving the class. So if

[01:49] the class, they're not going to pay you for that. Just like if your student arrives late, you won't get paid for those minutes of the student's delay. The process to relatively simple. The first thing we had to do was fill out a

[02:03] record a video introducing ourselves in English and send them all this information, but unfortunately they rejected the application because in order to work with them it is mandatory to

[02:17] be a native speaker and in our case we are not native speakers. So, we looked for an alternative and tried a platform called VIP Key, which is a basically the same thing. But in this case the requirements were even more

[02:29] complicated, since we had to be natives and we also had to have a work permit from the United States or Canada. Obviously we didn't give up and went to try a third platform called Berlink. This is a platform

[02:42] where you can learn languages ​​or teach languages, and they also have Spanish, so you can teach Spanish. a language in which we are is a little different. There is no hourly price; you set your own

[02:56] price. We looked at the price of Spanish and on average people were charging $24 an hour to teach Spanish. To register, it was actually some information, we had to indicate our availability, we had to

[03:09] record a video introducing ourselves, in this case in Spanish, but unfortunately we sent all this information. We waited for 72 hours and you want to earn money working from home, it's important to have a place

[03:23] to store that money, since it makes no sense to earn money working from home and keep that money in a bank account, as the infamous inflation we all know will cause us to lose

[03:36] want to talk to you about TR Republic, the channel's sponsor. T Republic is a licensed banking broker founded in Germany in 2015 that complies with all regulations and allows us to invest in all types of assets to

[03:51] Republic has just announced three new things that I'm very excited to share with you. The first is that they have just activated the Spanish IBAN, something that many people were asking for and that is now available and will

[04:05] living in Spain. Secondly, taxes will now be managed automatically so you don't have to withholdings and regulations. And the third new thing is that from now on

[04:19] they will have investment funds, which is super important for investing. So if you do n't already have a Republic account, you can create one completely free in a matter of minutes using the link in the description, and just by having

[04:33] an account you will have access to the account you are interested in. You will be able to send having the money there you will be generating a 2.27% APR. You will also be able to invest in all types of assets, stocks, ETFs, investment funds and

[04:47] much more. And you'll also have access to their card, which means you can spend the money you have in your account and get 1% back from Savepack for spending that money. What this means is that you'll get

[05:00] 1% back on the money you spend. Truly amazing. And if you don't already have an account, create one right now completely free using the link in the description. And with that said, let's continue with the video. The next work he

[05:13] presents in this video is called Script. You write a platform that allows you to transcribe audio to text. They do this using artificial intelligence. Basically, you're going to upload an audio file there and they're going to convert it to

[05:25] artificial intelligence, they have people hired, whom they obviously pay, to check that all this transcription has been done any errors. And this is basically what we're going to do and what we're

[05:40] payment will depend on the quality of the audio. They pay $ per hour for simple audios, audios that are only of one person, that there is no background noise and basically it is an audio that sounds good, in that case it is what they pay the least.

[05:54] Then for normal audio they pay $10 per hour and for complicated audio they pay $20 per hour. We were reviewing the opinions and saw some people complaining that this hourly rate is based on the amount of audio you're paid, but the

[06:08] time you'll need to do the transcription will be more than the audio time. They also said that the entrance exam is relatively easy and that they are quite demanding regarding the quality of your work.

[06:21] to work and wanted to register, but we couldn't because the platform is currently migrating to a new website and had paused registrations. So we started looking for alternatives,

[06:34] similar pages, and we came across Happy Scribe. Happy Scribe is practically the same thing; it's a transcription service. In this case they pay 99 cents per minute, which would be about $60 per hour. In addition, Jaavy Scribe not only

[06:47] offers audio in English, but also in other languages. We registered, went through the selection process, but once we were done they told us that they were not currently looking for new candidates. The next

[06:59] job you're talking about is called respondent. This involves participating in market research studies. There are companies and organizations that conduct certain market research studies and are looking for people to participate in these

[07:12] typical website where you have to fill out surveys. Instead, you'll need to fill out surveys. Instead, you'll need to connect to a call. During this call, they'll ask you some

[07:26] answer them. On their website you can see some studies and how much money they example, there is a study in which they pay $40 for a 50-minute call, in artificial intelligence chatbots. Alternatively, there's another study where they pay $70 for

[07:42] ask you questions about your investment habits, what apps you use, and what your needs are. Or, there's a study done by graduate students where they'll pay you $25

[07:55] questions related to the world of luxury homes. Once our email, our phone number, a photo and applied to three studies, since you can apply to three studies every day. We waited 72

[08:09] hours and unfortunately received no response. Based on the situation, we decided to go to Transpilot to see what people thought about the platform and we saw that they had a 3.3 rating, but that they had

[08:21] many five-star reviews and many one-star reviews, which is a pretty bad sign and usually means that there are bought reviews. The next job he talks about in the video is called User Interviews. It is

[08:34] just saw. It is also a platform for studies, but in this case it is a platform that publishes 2,000 studies per month and has worked with large companies such as Adobe, Pinterest or

[08:47] Amazon. Regarding remuneration, it ranges from $20 to $1,500 and this will depend on the type of study. They have some studies that questions that you can do online at home, and that's it. They also have

[09:01] a video call, and that's where they'll ask you the questions. They also a log where you have to log in every day to answer understand your consumption habits. And finally, they have focus groups, which

[09:15] consist of online interviews but with other people. What we did was create an account, but when we accessed the platform, literally no studios appeared available. We thought maybe it was because we're

[09:27] Spanish and it only works for people from the United States. So we created another account stating that we are from the United States . But even then, absolutely nothing appeared. We were checking the opinions and reviews and there were quite a few

[09:40] people complaining about exactly the same thing. The next Study Pool. Study Pool is a platform where we will upload our notes from school or university and generate income from

[09:53] quite simply. Study Pool has a subscription that people pay for, and by paying for it they get access to a lot of notes on a lot of different things. So, our notes there, and if people review our notes, we'll be

[10:08] we can see how people have earned money thanks to it; we can see one $72,000, another person who has earned $70,000, and another person who has earned $62,000. Obviously we wanted to test it and uploaded the engineering notes from the

[10:23] university of one of my team members. We uploaded it, waited 48 hours and waiting and after 4 days it was We reviewed the opinions and saw that several people

[10:37] notes had indeed been approved, but that they still had n't generated much money. It's very difficult to know if this is due to the poor quality of the notes platform. The next online job he tells us about is called Rev.

[10:52] Revilar a Scribe and a Happy Scribe, which consists of transcribing audio to text, but in this case not only from audio to text, but also from video to text. of transcription we are going to do. In the case of audio, they pay from $18 to $66 per

[11:08] hour, and in the case of video, they pay from $32 to $6 per hour. They also offer the option to subtitle and translate videos, and for this they pay from $10 to $90 per hour. When we registered, we saw that for

[11:22] transcription they weren't looking for new people like they have on other platforms, but for subtitling and translation they were looking for new people. So we registered, stated that we wanted to

[11:34] translate from English to Spanish, they asked us for both a video in English and a video in Spanish talking about some topics they told us about, and we sent all the documentation. We waited for 48 hours and

[11:46] received no response. We were reviewing the opinions and even though we haven't been accepted, we saw a person from Mexico who said that he earned a pretty good living thanks to this and that he lived thanks to this

[11:58] platform. He also said that the demands are quite high, and it really makes a lot of sense, since in the end, to do it badly, so to speak, artificial intelligence, and if they hire a person, it's because they want the perfect result.

[12:12] in his video is Fiber. Fiver is a marketplace for services. Basically, on Fiverr you can go in and you'll be able to hire services for practically anything you want, just as you'll be able to offer your services for practically anything you

[12:25] want on Fiverr: graphic design services, website creation services , social media management services—practically any able to offer on this platform. On the channel we recorded with a guy named

[12:39] Josep who works on Fiverr and who in one year has earned $50,000 thanks to selling his services on this platform. This is undoubtedly the most interesting online job of all those offered by this guy in his video, since we will be able to

[12:52] learn a skill and we will be able to offer this service on this platform, whether it is Fiverr or another similar platform, or directly we have a lot of complete and free courses in which we teach a

[13:05] skill. In the description, I'll leave you the playlist where you complete and free courses we have so you can learn a skill for free and then offer it as a service on one of these platforms.

[13:19] is called Bryon and it involves being an executive assistant. That's a to people who live in the United States, and it's a that interests us. Then he tells us about Advanish. It involves being an interviewer

[13:35] that you can participate in surveys before, well in this case it's the person who does this survey. In this case, this is a job only for a conventional job, therefore, we are not interested either. He also tells us

[13:48] about Smith, which involves being an assistant, but we're not interested in that either, since it's only for the United States and it's a conventional job. And finally simply doesn't work. To conclude

[14:00] the work presented by this guy is simply not worthwhile. Without a doubt, the most interesting one involves learning a skill and then selling playlist with all the free courses in the description, and I also want to say that the

[14:14] goal of this video is to test all these jobs so you don't have to we invest our time so that you don't have to invest yours. So you found this content interesting, feel free to leave

[14:26] a like, and that's all, I'm Aden Science and I'll see you in the next video.
