38 Easy Work at Home Jobs That Pay Weekly

There are a variety of jobs that can pay you to stay at home to work and they can all pay at different intervals.

None of us enjoy doing work and not knowing when we will get paid for it. After all, that can be the classic sign of a scam, and, sometimes we might take on extra work because we need the extra money immediately.

These work at home jobs can provide you with a steady paycheck.

With most of these options, you can get paid by PayPal, gift cards, or even direct deposit. It just depends on the platform and your payment preference, when multiple payment options are available.

Sometimes, you might even be able to receive an earning bonus by choosing a specific payment method like a 5% bonus for choosing gift cards.Freelance Work

Freelancing is one of the most lucrative methods to work from home. Not only can you skip the commute, you also have the added flexibility of being able to schedule your work around your other daily activities.

You might pursue these income streams in your free time to earn a second income or to replace the income of your existing full-time job.1. Work for Yourself

One of the easiest ways is to ensure you get paid weekly is to be self-employed and working directly with freelance clients.

Working for yourself eliminates the middleman (i.e. a freelance platform like Fiverr or Upwork). This means you avoid payment delays, site fees, and lack of convenience.

By working directly with a client, you both decide on a payment schedule if the work is recurring.

Since you work at home, the easiest payment method will be PayPal. You send an invoice once a job is completed and you receive the money as soon as the client approves the invoice.

Some examples of freelance work can include writing, graphic design, data entry, website management, or some of these other PayPal-friendly freelance jobs.

The best way to connect with online clients is to create an online website (preferably hosted by BlueHost for $2.95 a month). This site will help show that you are a real person, your quality of work and the services you offer.

Here’s a bonus tip, create a “Work with Me” page that includes your email address so clients and websites can connect with you in addition to sending pitches to individual business owners.2. Work for a National Company

One of the leading databases for work at home jobs is FlexJobs. You do have to pay to use this database, but, they prescreen all the companies to only present legitimate jobs from real employers.

Another popular freelance platform is Fiverr. It’s similar to Upwork as you can get paid to do just about any task where the completed work can be delivered electronically.

Setting up a profile with Fiverr gives you additional exposure to potential freelance clients.

Fiverr gets its name from the fact the freelancers can charge $5 (or more) per gig. For select tasks, some sellers charge up to $10,000 per task. Now that’s a serious payday!

Many Fiverr customers like to hire freelancers like you to design eBook covers, create company logos, write blog posts, create digital videos and audio recordings, and other tasks they don’t have the skills to complete.

My wife and I have personally used Fiverr to hire somebody to create a book cover for a self-published book. One the gig is complete, you get paid.5. Design T-shirts at CafePress

Personalized t-shirts, clothing, and houseware items are popular. If you can make snazzy designs, CafePress can be a great creative outlet where you can get paid for your design skills.

Websites are constantly looking for quality virtual assistants. You might be able to earn top-dollar at Fancy Hands where you can get paid for doing 20 minutes of work for a variety of professional tasks.

There are two different types of jobs. Standard jobs give you 24 hours to complete the task at your own convenience.

Live requests need to be completed in real-time with the client, just like when you call a live customer service rep to walk you through booking a customized hotel reservation.

From clerical assistance to website design and programming, there is a task for your skillset.
