But before that I have two comments for you:

• Comment No. 1

My first comment is you need to start before you're ready.

You cannot wait until you feel 100% absolutely certain of your capacity and capability and skills and readiness to start, because you're just delaying reaching your dream, and I promise you, you will get better as you go.

You don't have to be perfect from the beginning. Nobody is, and the longer you wait, the longer it'll take you to get to your dream.

So, start before you're ready. Even if it feels uncomfortable, I promise you it'll get better.

Also, if you feel a little bit uncomfortable, that is actually good because it will put you in a position where you want to over-deliver.

And you want to give it your best and make sure that your customers will be pleased, which is absolutely fantastic.

And if you want to know more about finding the right balance and about identifying the pace that you should be following, then make sure you read this.

And I've been using this for the past 4 years and it has always led me to success. And I'm so, so proud of this article and I really hope that you find it helpful as well.

• Comment no. 2

And, my second comment is all of the jobs that I'm going to be showing to you today are from Upwork because this is the platform that I feel most comfortable with and that I have been using the most.

But I do not have any affiliation whatsoever with Upwork. 

I do not gain anything by showing this to you.

It is simply because I  feel it's a platform that is very easy to navigate, and that you will find a lot of opportunities.

But if you wanna know more about other platforms where you could look for freelancing jobs or remote working opportunities.

Then I have another article that you can know now more about freelancing opportunities. I have opened Upwork and I've made a few selections.

If you are curious to know what is my advice in terms of filters and selections that you should make in order to find opportunities when you have no experience, or when you're new to Upwork. 

Then let me know in the comments below and I'm happy to write an article where I write for you through my thoughts around that.

All right, so let me walk you through the five categories that I have split these 13 different freelance jobs. I want to make it easy for you to follow,  So I'll make it super easy.

I'll link everything in order. I am mentioning it down below and you can go and only read the ones that make sense to you. All right, so let's start with number one from our freelancing jobs online. 

Top 13 freelance jobs online 

1. Online community manager

For online community management what you are expected to do is quite self-explanatory.

The intention is that you manage an online community for a solopreneur, a freelancer, or a small start-up that wants to have a presence and manage an online community, but needs somebody to do that for them.

And typically, what you would need to be doing is answering comments, accept or decline requests to join that community. 

Make sure you point people to the right resources and address any questions that the community will ask.

Let's go for online community management, first. And make sure you filtered for entry-level experience simply because I want to make sure that there's no expectation for experience in the job description

You could be experienced even if you have your online community yourself, and you've been managing that group on your own.

All right, so let's go to the second job that I want to share with you today.

2. SEO keyword research analyst

 So essentially what an SEO keyword research manager or analyst would be doing is exactly this.

Your customer would give you a list of keywords that they need you to research and then upload into a database.

Be that a CSV file, or an Excel file, or at other times they would ask you to identify keywords for a specific topic and on a specific platform.

There are plenty of examples where no experience is required and if you know a thing or two about SEO, then this might be something you would be interested in trying out.

Now, let's go to the third freelance job with no experience required.

3. Outreach specialist

And maybe I could have put this one into the sales category that I'm going to talk about it in a minute.

But essentially what an outreach specialist does is on a specific platform that is chosen by your customer, which could be Facebook or Instagram or even through email, you would be asked to reach out to individuals.

That you would need to bring over to join a different online community or a group, or follow that particular customer's online presence or online channels.

So, let's go in here and type outreach specialist.

For example, this one says, looking for a client outreach specialist, SEO specialist, link builder for an IT niche needed.

Virtual assistant needed for email outreach long term. And essentially, if you look at the expectations, fluent in English, diligent and honest have attention to detail, positive and ambitious, and driven to succeed.

 This job will involve communicating through email and negotiating prices. I'll teach you how to do that. It is not hard, but your English must be impeccable.

So, you see there's no expectation for you to have any experience related to being an outreach specialist.

You only need to be fluent in English and you don't even need to be a native speaker.

Duties, you'll be provided with a spreadsheet of contacts and email templates. You may be required to research individuals or companies for the right person to speak with, and you would need to manage initial responses and pass them along to me for further sales. 

So, this would be a combination of lead generation and email outreach.

In other cases, you would need to do social media outreach, so you want to be very careful exactly what the job requirement is.

4. Data entry internet research

And typically for a data entry internet researcher, what you would need to do is look for particular data points or particular information on a specific topic that your customer gives you.

And you would research that for them, and come back to them with the data in any given format that they require.

It could be in an Excel spreadsheet or in a different type of format, maybe in a Word document that they would like you to summarize and crystallize the data for them.

Let's take a look at this job posting, which says, data collection, leads lists, and web research. 

And essentially what you are expected to do is to find a list of companies in a certain category.

You need a list of people in certain areas or need to find weather information for multiple locations, create lists with specific locations in Australia.

So, as I said, there is no requirement for you to have any experience for this job what so ever, other than really internet research, which probably all of us can do. They are actually posting this at an entry-level.

And actually, the job is expected to take you about 30 hours a week and is a project for one to three months.

So, you can even find long-term engagements, not only the very short-term ones or a one-off gig that you typically find on this type of platform.

5. E-commerce research analyst 

This one is a rather newer one. 

And it's because of the high surge that we're seeing right now in terms of Amazon FBA or Shopify drop shipping businesses that are more and more present in the market.

And because of this, you will see more and more job opportunities being posted on Upwork, or on any other platform.

Where these companies are looking for researchers or analysts that are able to follow their research methodology.

And identify products or product categories that would be interesting for those drop shipping businesses to look into, and maybe expand their portfolio into.

And there is an opportunity to grow with this company as well. So, they're looking for a long-term type of collaboration.

You see it says more than six months and the intention and the duties are to do daily research of trends and products that are coming to the market and identify new niche opportunities for this business.

In some cases, it would be good if you have some knowledge of product outsourcing or working with vendors, but it's not necessarily required.

And in most cases, these companies are going to teach you their research methodology that you can learn and apply in order to go ahead with your first freelancing opportunity.

let's move to the third category that I want to talk about, which is technology.

6. Tester or a QA tester

There will be tons and tons and tons of job opportunities on Upwork related to technology, and for today I did not want to talk about any coding opportunities.

But for today I want to talk about being a software tester or a QA tester for on-prem or mobile apps.

 So, all you need to do is install the app, open it, and create an account inside the app and try to get the crash. If you're able to replicate, you will be paid.

You literally only need to know how to use your phone and play with the app and test it, and report bugs.

So basically, somebody is developing an iOS application and they need somebody to help them with the testing and the test would be done on your iPhone or your iPad.

And as the development goes, you will test different builds and send issues that you find, which is literally what an app tester does.

You would be playing with the app on your phone or on your iPad or on your computer, identify issues and crashes or bugs and report them back to the development company. 

All right, now let's go into the fourth category that I would like to cover today, which is language-related job opportunities.

And here you will see that I'm going to cover opportunities for native speakers, but also opportunities for translation type roles.  

7. Content writer

you only need to have experience in a topic that you are interested in. Maybe one of your passions, one of your hobbies that you would be able to write about.

And you will see in terms of content writing, there will be very specific opportunities depending on the language that you would need to write in. 

So, if you are fluent in multiple languages, then the number of opportunities that you will be able to apply for you will obviously increase.

 And you can see we're already seeing different opportunities for Slovak writing for Arabic writing, etc.

As I was saying, a lot of specific languages. You see, an e-book editor and so forth.

So, as you can see, content writers are certainly in high demand and it could go from social media content to eBooks, even to YouTube scripts.

8. translator

So, building on skills, covering multiple languages. If you are able to use your mother tongue and English, or another internationally used language. 

Then you would certainly be able to find translation opportunities. 

So, as you can see if you master multiple languages, it will be quite easy for you to find freelance jobs even.

If you are a beginner, as long as you are able to use those multiple languages to translate from one into another. 

And this is because as I was saying in this article. Here are a number of other companies are looking for opportunities to expand their reach and expand their target audience into new markets.

And in order to do that, they need to be able to address them in their local language, which is why they're looking for translation services.

9. Translation proofreader

Essentially here what you need to do is be able to use your multi-lingual expertise or knowledge and validate a translation that was done by somebody else. 

So, let's see, German translation proofreading as an example.

Obviously, you will need to search based on the languages that you speak. And the more exotic, the better because I am sure there will be a need for you. So definitely a lot of opportunities here as well.

10. Voice-over talent

So even if you only speak English or you speak multiple languages, there will be a need for your capabilities as a voice-over talent.

And essentially what this means is that you will be hired to read out loud with intonation, certain content for either audiobooks or different types of audio content.

 So as long as you are able to read with intonation, there should be pretty good opportunities for you to tap into, and find your first freelance opportunity right now.

11. Bookkeeper or a journal entry analyst

I'm sure you should be able to find quite a few.

And typically, what you would need to do as a bookkeeper or a journal entry specialist or an analyst.

You would be given probably different invoices, or different receipts that you would then need to input into various accounting systems that this customer that you would be working with is using.

And essentially it is data entry work, but it requires that you understand some very basic related to bookkeeping.

So, I'm sure that you would be able to find your first opportunity as a bookkeeper if this is what you are trained in, or that you specialize in.

And it doesn't even require that you are familiar with or certified in any type of bookkeeping standards.

It is really just an entry-level job that you would get to start your freelancing career.

Of course, that could continue and become a long-term collaboration for you, and you could even step up and get an accountant opportunity or a long-term role with that customer.

Now, last but not least.

12. Virtual assistant

 And yes, this is probably a very, very diverse type of position. So, you would need to be very careful in reading the requirements for that job opportunity.

But what I'm referring to here is literally, somebody who is able to manage someone's calendar, manage someone's email, and support with this type of activity.

And again, this would be the type of service, you would offer to a small entrepreneur or a start-up that is just beginning their activity and are looking for somebody to offload this type of work too. 

Let's look specifically at email management. Manage emails and messages under good instructions. What could be more straightforward than this? 

So, certainly, there's a lot of opportunity for you already right now on Upwork.
