1. Get Paid to Write About “Game of Thrones,” Comic Books and “The Walking Dead”
Nerd Much, “an enthusiast-driven nerdy pop culture site,” is hiring a writer to cover shows about superheroes, sci-fi, Netflix originals — anything of “the nerdier variety.”
You must follow some cult-favorite shows like “Game of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead” religiously, so this is a gig for anyone who loves to nerd out!
The position requires some previous writing experience, and you’ll write about one 1,000-word editorial piece per week. Name your own rate.
To apply: Email a cover letter, links to previous writing and your preferred rate to the address listed here.
2. Earn $16 an Hour Helping Customers of This Designer Shoe Brand

In this work-from-home, contract position, your main duties will include responding to customer emails, providing professional support over the phone and via online chat, as well as engaging customers on social media.
As a high-end fashion brand, Tieks takes customer service seriously.
This position requires previous experience and a bachelor’s degree, as well as strong written and verbal communication skills. Your interest in fashion is a plus!

This full-time, work-from-anywhere position comes with killer benefits:

- Minimum three weeks’ vacation, plus two weeks’ holiday break
- Conference and education budget
- Company retreats around the world
You should be excited about YNAB’s company culture and about growing a customer base. The job doesn’t come with specific degree or experience requirements, but you’ll get “bonus points” if you have previous experience managing a customer loyalty program.
YNAB hires U.S.-based or international workers, though they favor (but don’t require) California- or Utah-based workers for this position.
If this full-time job isn’t a fit, YNAB is also hiring a part-time (20 hours/week) work-from-home Customer Support Rep. It comes with fewer perks, but you still get in on the company culture and even the 401(k)!
