INSIDE: Although working from home has tons of perks, it’s not always easy to find work that is consistent. These jobs that pay weekly will give you peace of mind and a steady paycheck.
For many people looking to work from home, getting a regular paycheck rolling in ASAP is the top priority.
You don’t have time to wait for a passive income idea to start generating money. You may not even have the luxury of having money in the bank while you wait for a company that pays monthly.
For that reason, we are focusing on work from home jobs that pay weekly. These side hustles will keep you in regular cash. And the home job opportunities listed below pay a decent wage for those of you interested in earning more than $10 a day online.
Call Center Jobs
Work-at-home customer service jobs are extremely varied. One company may hire at-home agents to take incoming sales or tech support calls. Another company may want someone to set appointments or talk to people about political issues.
What is consistent is that a call center representative needs a fairly new computer with high-speed internet service, plus a landline.
And, obviously, a call center representative needs great people skills.
Available Call Center Jobs
While call center work isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, if you are looking for immediate and consistent income, you should strongly consider remote customer service jobs.
More legit online jobs are available in this industry than in any other, and many offer paid training and a regular schedule.

- Westat hires telephone data collectors. Starting pay is about $8.25 per hour.
Online Tutoring Jobs
Don’t dismiss an online tutoring job just because you don’t have a teaching certificate. Many companies, especially those in the English as a second language (ESL) industry, don’t require a certificate or teaching experience.
A lot of times, an online tutor just video chats with someone in a foreign land, helping them learn conversational English.
Opportunities teaching English online are available for anyone from a college student or tutoring novice to experienced teachers. The most common requirement is that you be a native speaker of English.
Available Online Tutoring Jobs
- Cambly pays $0.17 per minute, which equals $10.20 per hour, tutoring English as a Second Language. No experience is required.
- Chegg offers a typical tutor salary of $20 per hour, according to Glassdoor. You can work when you want.
- NiceTalk prefers applicants who have a teaching certificate. Pay is $10 per hour, paid weekly, with a $20 minimum.
Search Engine Evaluator Jobs
Let’s be honest, Google doesn’t always get it right. That’s where search engine evaluators and ad raters come in.
With a search engine evaluator job, you look at search results and decide whether they are the best options. My readers love this type of work, but it can be project-based, with limited and inconsistent hours. Take it when you can get it.
Available Search Engine Evaluator Jobs
- Leapforce workers rate search engine ads for relevancy and quality. The schedule is flexible, and pay is about $13 to $15 per hour.

Transcription Jobs
Transcription is basically turning an audio file into text. These typing from home projects are often some of the best jobs that pay weekly.
You need a keen ear and high typing speed for an online transcription job.
Available Transcription Jobs
While the higher-paying transcription work, such as a medical transcriptionist, usually requires experience, the sites listed below offer decent pay and a place to start as a transcriptionist so you can hone your skills.
- Babbletype offers jobs transcribing market research. Pay averages about $10 per hour for this remote job.
- Rev.com has a variety of transcription jobs. Pay is $0.40 to $0.65 per audio minute, and no experience is required.
- TranscribeMe offers earnings starting at $15 per audio hour, with better rates available to transcriptionists with specialized backgrounds. No experience is needed.
Website Testing Jobs
Website testing jobs are another of my community’s favorite ways to make extra income online. When testing websites, you use an on-screen recorder and a microphone to record your thoughts as you explore the sites and answer questions.
The goal of a usability tester is to help business owners and bloggers tweak their websites to be more engaging and user-friendly.
Website tester work isn’t consistent, so this online job should just be considered a side gig for extra income. However, it can pay pretty well, considering that most tests take just 20 minutes to complete.
Available Website Testing Jobs
- TryMyUI pays $10 per test.
- UserFeel also pays $10 per test.
- UserTesting pays $10 per test, as well.
These jobs that pay weekly are some of the best stay at home jobs for beginners. Give them a try! You’re likely to find one that you really enjoy.
Hi. I don’t usually comment on public forums but I wanted to correct you on your information regarding Rev.com. In order for you to move from pre-application to application, one must undergo a grammar as well as writing and transcription tests. If someone has never transcribed before, it will be extremely difficult. I have done medical transcription for over 25 years and felt I did well with transcribing 3 speakers discussing non-medical information, but I was informed I would not be moving forward with the process. Transcription is not easy, and if this company is an example of what is expected to be hired, a person with no experience will have difficulty. Thank you for the insights you offer. I’m trying to find a part-time position to supplement my income without going back to retail. I look forward to more articles. I wanted you to have the complete information for your readers with regard to Rev.com. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Sharon. Perhaps some of the opportunities on this list would be of interest:

Mywahconnection, convergys and teleflora and teletech.
I’m not sure about mywahconnection, but I believe the others pay biweekly not weekly.
Great list of side hustle jobs Angie. I started working for Cloud 10 as a customer service rep and the pay was pretty good. Thanks for putting this together. You know I’ll be passing this along.
Have a great day and rest of the week! 🙂

Thanks, Cori. A lot of people desperate for work-at-home want to overlook those phone jobs, but they can definitely provide regular and consistent pay until you find something else. We’ve all got to start somewhere.
I didn’t know about the opportunities to teach English as a second language online. That rate isn’t too bad and could definitely be an easy form of work. This is a great round-up!
Thanks, Jeff.
I would not recommend ZeroChaos for quick anything… except maybe the job ending.
They say up to 1 year… it took them a month and a half to get back to me, and it was another month before I was actually earning. They do pay weekly, but there’s the issue of not having tasks to do. And they end the job without any warning what-so-ever.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Kelley. Sadly, that seems to be the case with most search engine eval positions. People love the work, but it isn’t reliable.
Virtual Office VA – starting pay is $9 per hour…not contracting right now but may start later on in the year…
Thanks, Cheryl!
