Top 10 Legit and Easy Online Jobs Paying $1000 to $1500

Online Surveys and Market Research ($5-$25/hour)

Entry Level: Easy

The easiest and arguably best online job from home is completing online surveys and market research on Freecash. These surveys, market research, and even testing out apps are great side hustles that, depending on your dedication, could earn you from $100 to $1000 a month. 

Freecash requires no previous experience, and you can sign up within a few minutes. They also offer games to play with hundreds of offers that can pay up to $800 a task. I personally really enjoy these types of online jobs, as you can simply watch videos and make money or play solitaire and chill. 

To get started, you just need to follow the steps I took to start making over $1000 a month:

You can easily earn your first $50 in Freecash within just a few days; you just need to be consistent, stay dedicated, and maximize your earnings through engagement. Once you've earned a decent amount of rewards, you will start receiving daily quests and ranking on the leaderboard for more bonuses.

Micro Task Jobs ($5-$15/hour)

Entry Level: Easy 

Some of the best micro task websites require little to very basic computer skills and attention to detail. I really enjoy these jobs as they only take a few seconds to a couple minutes to do. Keep in mind, though that these types of jobs could take about two weeks or so to finally start getting some kind of consistent income. 

There are many places you could find microtasking jobs, including some of the most popular websites such as:

While these websites are not the highest-paying online job opportunities, they are definitely worth spending extra free time on to earn an additional $100 a month or so. To really make the most from micro tasking jobs, I always focus on tasks with the highest rates and stay consistent. 

Customer Service Representative ($20-$25/hour)

Entry Level: Easy to Average

Customer service remote jobs are very popular among being one of the most entry level jobs out there. While you still need a moderate level of communication skills, problem solving and basic tech skills, these are all very easy to attain through proper training. 

Most jobs like this can have you start immediately, with a potential of stable income after the first few months (as long as you are producing positive feedback and solutions). 

You can find a lot of customer service jobs on websites like FlexJobs, Indeed, Remote.co or even LiveOps. Setting yourself up for success will significantly rely on your workspace surroundings, professional attitude, and a solid headset for clear communication. 

Virtual Assistant ($10-$50/hour)

Entry Level: Easy to Average

One of the best and most legit online jobs from home is working as a virtual assistant. This job is not only great for single moms, but it's also an ideal flexible online job for students or anyone seeking an easy side hustle or full-time position. 

While being a perfect entry-level online job, being a virtual assistant can also challenge your skills. A few recommended yet easy skills to master to earn higher-paying clients would be:

If you have all of these skills down, you are well on your way to making over $1000 a month or even $1500 a month from this type of online job. To start, I would also recommend you check out popular platforms such as Fiverr or Upwork to land some solid long-term positions. 

Freelance Writing ($15-$100/hour)

Entry Level: Average to High

While freelance writing can be a potentially easy online job, it does require a few baseline skills including grammar, research skills, and basic SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I remember it took me about two to three full months until I was creating quality that paid a decent price per hour. 

Even then, finding high-paying clients, depending on the niche, is rather hard. Upwork is full of low-paying gigs offering $5 per 1000-word article, which is practically slavery. I would recommend doing those for practice; however, set yourself up for success by  doing the following:

You can find some solid online jobs on ProBlogger, Freelancer, Upwork and Fiverr to help you get started. 

Affiliate Marketing ($15-$40/hour)

Entry Level: Average to high

Affiliate marketing could either require really high or very low skills. Depending on how much you want to make will determine just how much effort you will need to put into this online job. While this is a great and legit online job to work from home, you will need to spend a solid six months to even a year to make consistent, profitable conversions. 

To really succeed at affiliate marketing, I would suggest finding a profitable niche, focusing on SEO and content marketing strategies, building an email list, and staying consistent. I would suggest as a beginner to start off on easy affiliate programs like Freecash which offers up to 40% of commission.

Data Entry Clerk ($25-$75/hour)

Entry Level: Easy to Average

If you are entering this type of job with no previous experience, it's very easy to get into. Keep in mind, though, that many entry jobs start closer to $12 to $20 an hour, while those with more experience offer higher pay, from $25 to even $75 an hour. 

I have previous experience as a data entry clerk, and I would say the majority of platforms that you will be using (and I recommend having a general knowledge of) are Excel or Google Sheets. Also, having a general eye for detail and typing skills is highly valued here. 

Most jobs like this are immediate, which is cool, and you can start right away. Long-term clients offer contracts ranging from two months to years. You can find jobs like this on platforms like FlexJobs, Indeed, or even Upwork. 

Email Marketing ($15-$50/hour)

Entry Level: High

Rather similar skill level to affiliate marketing, email marketing will require a pretty high understanding of copy and sales. While you don't need any kind of major degree, taking a small course or two would really help set you up for success in this type of online job. 

Overall, I have seen many online jobs like email marketing take workers from three to six months to start showing solid conversion rates with profitable outcomes. A lot of people would tell you to find gigs in email marketing through freelance platforms, but honestly, I think the highest value can be found on socials like LinkedIn or even in larger corporations that post on Indeed. 

AI Prompt Writer

Entry Level: Average

I was once a prompt AI writer. And yeah, these jobs definitely exist. I wouldn't rely on them though to be long-term, as they tend to filter out large masses of applicants in order to keep content fresh and different. 

However, they can pay really well, from $20 an hour to $60. Most jobs like this don't require major skills, but the more you know, the higher pay you will expect to receive. I found my online jobs through Upwork, however, I have seen them posted everywhere on social media like Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn. 

To really qualify well for these types of jobs, I would study what makes a successful AI prompt, experiment with different AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or even DeepSeek. 

Stream on Twitch ($0-$50/Hour)

Entry Level: Low to Average

If you love gaming, you can easily make Twitch an easy side hustle as a gamer. However, it will require a lot of persistence and dedication to getting better and better. Expect yourself to spend large amounts of your day streaming (two hours to sometimes five), and taking about six months to a year before seeing any major profit. 

While streaming may seem easy in the beginning, and starts to take a lot of effort and daily work. Once you have a good monthly salary and large audience, retaining them and staying consistent becomes harder over time.

To optimize your chances of gaining large audiences, I would recommend double streaming on YouTube and Twitch, and creating short videos of your streams onto Youtube to better monetize. To better keep retention, I would also recommend you to invest in nice streaming equipment, engage with chat, and post regularly on your social media.
