Hey, No-fluffers! Here’s this week’s list of best paying gigs. What’s listed? These gigs pay at least $50 an article, offer a full-time salary, or pay more than $20 an hour. They are also all remote (also known as virtual jobs or work-from-home jobs). Be sure to check back each week for a new list of remote writing jobs.
Note: I don’t know anything about these positions other than what I post. I weed out the seedy looking ones, but it is your job to be diligent when applying. Also, please don’t message me with questions about the postings. If a link doesn’t work the posting has probably been taken down because the gig has been filled. If you have a gig for freelance writers that pays at least $50 a peice or over $20 an hour, please contact me and I will include your gig in next week’s post.
Get Paid $1,000 to Take a Virtual Vacation
As the quarantine for the COVID-19 pandemic continues, people are getting very creative about how they stave off cabin fever. One way that museums, theme parks, and other businesses are helping to keep people sane is by creating virtual tours to help them scratch that travel itch.
And is there anything better than getting paid to take a virtual vacation? The team at Upgraded Points is looking for someone to determine which of 10 virtual tours is the best one. They are enlisting someone to take the 10 virtual tours, review the features, and pick one as their dream destination once it’s safe to travel again. And in return, that person will get $1,000 in cash to put towards a trip!
What they are looking for:
An overall love of travel and culture
A passion for art, exploration, and adventure
Strong attention to detail – nothing gets past you!
The ability and availability to take 10 virtual tours within a month
Active social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter
Must be 18 years or older and a US citizen or permanent resident to apply
To apply, fill out the application and tell Upgraded Points why you are the perfect person for the job! Apply here: https://upgradedpoints.com/get-paid-to-take-a-virtual-vacation
A winner will be selected and notified by June 30, 2020.
