6 Companies Hiring Remote Workers WORLDWIDE transcript

Our last remote jobs video helped over half a million people. People landed interviews, people got hired, and people had a better idea of where they could apply for remote jobs. But, this is round two, and we've made it even better this time. >> We still work remote ourselves every single day from wherever we are in the world that we happen to be living, and we read every piece of feedback on the last video. Two fair criticisms came up over and over.

There were too many of those jobs for US-based, which does nothing for you if you're relocating overseas, and there was a way too much AI training work. This video changes both. >> Every company that we're going to discuss today hires worldwide. There's no state requirements and no US-only fine print. You're going to hear about what they actually pay, what roles are open, and if there's any specific gear that you need, and an honest verdict of whether you can actually do some of these jobs with zero experience.

[music] >> And every company, link, and requirement in this video is in our free remote work guide, link below. So, let's get into it. >> Number one on the list is Mod Squad, and I'm starting personal on this one because this is the category that I actually work in. My regular full-time job is community manager for 10x Travel, and I have done that work from all over the globe, different countries, different time zones, and it travels with me.

So, when I tell you that community and moderation work is one of the most flexible categories in remote work, that's not just research talking, this is from my actual life. >> And Mod Squad is one of the biggest names in that lane. They handle customer support, content moderation, trust and safety, community management, and social media for other brands, and they do it with remote contractors in more than 90 countries working from home or any private space. >> Now, about the pay for Mod Squad, we're going to be straight with you guys.

They actually don't publish it. The rates vary by project, by your skills, and by your language. >> Hard to find languages and niche skills earn more. That's the honest answer and how most contractor platforms work. Now, let's actually show you where to go because their setup confuses people and there's one detail on the site that most videos get wrong. >> So, you're going to navigate to join.themodsquad.com, not their main corporate site.

So, hit join the mod, you'll create a profile once, and then you're going to be able to apply to individual projects because like we said before, it is project based. You don't have to apply to any one job, you can apply to specific gigs and stack more than one. But real quick, here's a detail that we found when we were actually going through the site ourselves. Mod Squad hires from all over the globe, but not every role can be worked from everywhere.

Some projects need you to be in a specific region like the Caribbean, Europe, South America, Africa, or Asia. >> So, here's what you should do. Filter to global remote and those are the projects you can take with you anywhere. [music] And if you know which country you'll be living in, check what's available for that specific country, too, because a region-locked project in your region is just as good as the global one and there's [music] less competition for it. >> So, here's what you need to actually work for Mod Squad.

You'll just need a computer, reliable internet, and a phone for two-factor authentication logins. And the real requirement is just strong written English because most of the work that you're going to be doing [music] is typing to real customers. So, yes, a regular person with no experience can actually start here, especially in moderation and community roles if you write well. >> But before we get into company number two, we want to know from you guys what hourly rate would you be comfortable with?

You know, not a big amount that you, you know, want to get rich off of, but enough to sustain yourself and live a better quality of life overseas. Drop your number in the comments because we see what people assume it takes to live in a lot of these countries and it might be a lot less than what you think. And number two is the one we'd personally start with because it pays from day one with zero admin work. >> So, number two is Twin English and every week somebody in our comments asks for remote work with no degree, no experience, and no set hours.

And this one checks all three boxes. >> Twin English is an online language teaching platform out of Spain where you can teach English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, or German. All your students are adults, working professionals in Spain and Italy. No children, no classroom management. Every class is a 26-minute conversation and the lesson plan is already built before you ever log in. You just take a quick look through the materials and teach the class. >> And I know you might be thinking, "I'm not a teacher." Well, you don't have to be because there's no degree or teaching certificate that's required.

Of course, having a TEFL certificate or some teaching experience will help your application, but it is not essential. But if you're fluent and can hold a real conversation, you will qualify. >> What's also great about working with Twin English is how flexible it is. There's no minimum hours and you open slots whenever you're available. If something comes up, you can transfer a class to another teacher on the platform with no penalty.

Plus, there's no homework to grade, no marketing yourself, and no recording intro videos to compete for students like other platforms. So, Twin English does basically all the work for you and matches the students to you automatically. >> Now, let's get into the pay for Twin English. If you're from the US, it pays $13 to $16 an hour. And your rate steps up after your first 100 classes. And in peak months, they give you weekly bonuses that can add up to 20% on top of your normal pay.

They pay out monthly through Wise or Payoneer, and both of those work from basically anywhere in the world. >> One of the loan requirements for the job is that you need a laptop with Chrome and solid internet. Phones and tablets just won't cut it for this one. >> And they make applying very simple. There's a form to fill out, your CV, and two short video tasks that are literally just you having a conversation. And once you finish onboarding, you can actually start opening slots and start earning immediately.

There's no waiting to build a profile, >> [music] >> demo classes, or anything like that. So, if you're looking for a fun, flexible online teaching job, check out Twenix. The link is going to be on the description. >> If you want the honest version of this for every remote opportunity we cover, definitely subscribe. This is a whole series, and the next video breaks down the remote roles that actually [music] pay the bills abroad with real numbers. >> The next two companies that we're going to talk about, you'll be able to start right away, but you need to hear how the pay actually works before you sign up because it's not exactly what the number looks like.

Number three is GoTranscript. It's transcription work. You listen audio and you type what you [music] hear. Their site says it plainly, they hire worldwide in 140-plus languages with entry-level applicants accepted. You'll be able to apply in your strongest language, and you can apply in more than one. >> The pay is [music] up to $1.75 per audio minute, paid weekly through PayPal or Payoneer. That's per audio minute, not per minute you work. 1 hour of audio can take you 3 or even 4 hours to transcribe when you're new, so your real hourly rate at the beginning will be lower, and it climbs as you get faster. >> We want to tell you that up front so you don't go in expecting to make $1.75 * 60 minutes an hour because you're going to quit in a week and call it a scam, and it's not.

It is a skill, and speed is the whole game to earning more with transcription work. >> So, here's the path that you need to know. Go to gotranscript.com and look for transcription jobs. It's linked in their footer, and we'll link it below. The application is the test. You'll get their style guidelines, and then a short audio file to transcribe following those guidelines. Read the guidelines twice before you touch the audio though, because that's what they're actually grading.

Punctuation, speaker labels, formatting, all of it. >> And a real tip to try to make sure that you pass, use headphones, pick a quiet hour, and don't rush through it. The test is going to filter out everyone who treats it casually, which is exactly why the people who pass get steady work. >> And the best thing about it, their own site says no prior experience is required. If you want something you can start this week from any country, this is one of the two.

Most people don't think about travel medical insurance until something goes wrong. We've had SafetyWing's Nomad Essential insurance active for multiple countries, including Thailand, Colombia, and the Philippines, and we can tell you firsthand why it matters. >> The Philippines tested it for real because I ended up needing emergency care, and the last thing I wanted to think about in the moment was whether I could afford to walk into a hospital, but us having SafetyWing meant that wasn't even a question. >> Their Nomad Essential plan covers you in over 180 countries, and it's real coverage.

Things like emergency hospital visits, surgeries, and medications. It even covers travel delays and lost luggage, which is super important the way these airlines do us sometimes. >> And all that coverage starts at just $2 a day. But if you're actually relocating and not just passing through, SafetyWing has a Nomad Complete plan that adds routine care, mental health support, and cancer treatment coverage. It's built for people who need more than just emergency coverage because they're not going home in a few days or weeks. >> Scan the QR code on the screen or click the link in the description so you can check it out.

Now, back to the video. Number four is TranscribeMe, and it's GoTranscript's sibling. Same kind of work, but different setup. The audio comes in short clips, two to four minutes long. You're not sitting with a 90-minute interview. [clears throat] >> Pay is going to start at $15 to $22 per audio hour, and remember what we just taught you, that's audio hour, not working hour. And you'll be able to earn more on their specialty teams.

But we really respect this about them, they publish the averages that people typically make, and they do state that the average earner makes about $250 a month, with their top earners earning around 2,200. And those are their numbers, not ours. >> This is test the waters money, not grocery money, not rent money, and that's fine [clears throat] because it costs nothing to start, and you can do it from anywhere. Per their site, all you need is reliable internet connection and a computer, and they do not list any country restrictions. >> So what you'll do to apply, you go to transcribe.me/jobs.

You'll be able to sign up for free, of course, and then you take their entry exam before you can grab work. And once you're in, the work sits in a queue with those short clips we mentioned, and you can claim them whenever you want. There's no schedule, no shifts, and no boss pinging you, and that's what makes this the weekend experiment. You can sign up Saturday, pass the exam, and find out by Sunday night whether transcription is going to be your thing.

But moving on to the last two companies that we're going to discuss, number five, you can work right from your phone, and number six, you can actually make up to $80 an hour, but there is a catch that we're going to be straight with you about. So number five is Pop Up Hourly, and I know that we said at the top that we cut the AI training category way down after the feedback, and we meant it, but these two made the cut for really good reason.

So Pop Up Hourly is a crowdsourcing platform from Tech Mahindra, which is a massive Indian tech company, and the work is what's called AI data work. It labels images, rates content, and judges whether an ad matches a search, quick user studies, or microtasks. [music] >> Is it actually remote? Yes, it is. It runs in more than 80 languages, and it's open in most countries. >> Now the pay is per task and the rates are going to vary by the different projects.

They're going to pay through AirTM on roughly weekly cycles and of the six companies today, this is the most variable pay and we'd rather tell you that now than have you find out later. >> So, you want to navigate to Papouly.ai, look for gig work, you create a profile, fill out your languages and background, and then projects get matched to you. One honest note about this whole category though, the work comes in waves.

Some weeks there's plenty, some weeks it's quiet, so treat it as one stream, not the main stream of income. >> But, here's why Papouly is worth adding onto this list. There's virtually no barrier to entry. It's just basic English and attention to detail that's needed. You can work from your smartphone, while every other company today usually needs a laptop, this is the one where the phone in your hand right now is enough to start. >> Now, we know some of you don't agree with AI training at all and trust me, we get it.

We don't love it either, but AI takeover is here whether we like it or not. And here's the practical reality for anyone who wants to work from anywhere, AI training is at the forefront of truly global remote work right now. When we filter for companies that hire in almost any country with no experience required, this category kept coming up. >> So, comment where you stand on this one because we already know it's likely going to split the room.

And for company number six, it's a Liner. This is the $80 an hour one that we just told you about, but before you sprint to the link, sit with us for a couple more seconds because that number does need some context. >> A Liner is an AI training platform powered by Labelbox. The work is things like testing AI chatbots, reviewing documents, analyzing product reviews, writing prompts, and language work if you speak something in demand.

It's fully remote and they hire internationally, but confirm your country at sign up. >> Now, let's get into the money with the Lioner and the catch that we did promise to talk to you about. So, that $80 an hour is their advertised average, but the average does lie a little bit. Their listings run from about 25 to $120 an hour, but at the top of that range is PhDs, researchers, and specialists pulling that average way up.

The realistic entry point for a regular person is the 25 to $30 an hour tier with roles like chatbot testing and data labeling. >> So, pick the ones that match what you actually have and skip the expert listings because applying to everything is how you get nothing. >> And the requirements are going to vary by role. Some listings literally say no AI background needed and others are going to want degrees or professional expertise.

The only equipment you're going to need is a computer and strong internet and expect a vetting process. This one is not going to be instant. But for 25 to $30 an hour with no commute from any country, this is still one of the best entry-level rates on this list. >> So, that's six. Mod Squad if you write well, Twin X if you can hold a conversation, Go Transcript and Transcribe Me if you want to start tonight, Populi [music] if all you've got is a phone, a Lioner if you want the biggest number and you're willing [music] to work for it. >> But one more thing before you go and I want you guys to be honest in the comments.

The money on most of these is not that impressive if you're spending it in the US, but if you pair it with a country where rent is $400, the math is now completely different. So, give us your combo. Which country are you pairing with which company?

As always, thank you guys so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one. Bye.
