“How do I find a remote job with no experience?” – is the most popular question in 2023. By “no experience”, beginners do not usually mean work experience, but a lack of hard skills – complex professional skills. There are plenty of offers for unskilled people in remote work. All that remains is to figure out which jobs are right for you.

Assess your knowledge
If you’re over 18 and have been on the internet for a long time, you’re probably already good at something. That’s not true, if you tell, that “I don’t know how to do anything”!
Newbies looking for a “remote job with no experience” usually know some of these things:
- How to use a laptop
- Surf on the internet
- Chat
- Like and comment on social media posts
- Edit simple pictures
Make a similar list of your own knowledge. For instance, are you good with AutoCAD or Excel, or can sing and have an advanced voice? Are you good at computer games? Or on Instagram a lot of people like your posts? Put everything on the list, it’s easier to find your way around.
