> 🔍 Ever see those "Get Paid Big $$$ Answering Emails!" ads? Yeah... most are scams. 😒



Do you want to get paid to answer emails, working remotely? This is the topic of our blog post today!


Before I share how you can get paid to answer emails from home, you need to know there are LOTS of work at home scams out there claiming you can do this for tons of money.


Many people are interested in things like answering emails from home or getting paid to text, working from home, because it sounds like easy work. And so scammers like to take advantage of people who are looking for email-answering jobs.


To stay safe, just keep in mind that if someone is offering you lots of money for what they claim is easy, mindless work, it's probably a scam!


Additionally, be very wary of anyone trying to get you to pay them to work, and don't trust “employers” who try to recruit you over WhatsApp, Google Hangouts, or any other instant messaging systems.


Below are the best, non-scammy ways I've come up with for you to actually get paid to answer emails from your home.


Ways You Can Get Paid to Answer Emails From Home


**Customer Service – Email Support**

There are many, many work at home customer service positions that require responding to emails.


Most often, I do see that companies want you to not only answer their emails, but also take phone calls and respond to chats. It's kind of difficult to find a customer service job that is just email support for some reason! I haven't seen any in a very long time.


Below, I've listed some companies that regularly hire people to work at home doing customer service that will involve answering emails (although you may also be providing support through other channels just depending on the company's needs).


**Squarespace** – Customer Support Associate. Locations vary. Benefits & Perks. Full-time. Open availability to work a 40 hour work week that spans weekends and holidays. Respond to customer-submitted live chats and email in a timely manner. Queue-based, typing work will account for approximately 90% of the role. Pay is $17.55 hourly.


**Foundever** – Customer Service/Technical Support Representative. Remote (U.S.; available in AL, AZ, AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NJ, NM, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, WV, WI, WY). Full-time or seasonal/temporary. Drive customer satisfaction through inbound service calls, email, and/or chat; troubleshoot and resolve end-user issues; respond to inquiries related to account details, products, and services; navigate through multiple systems and tools when assisting customers. Requires strong communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and proficiency in navigating between screens while assisting customers; must be 18+ years of age with a high school diploma or GED equivalent. Pay ranges from $14.00 to $15.00 per hour.


**Rue Gilt Groupe** – Member Services Agent (Call Center/Contact Center). Remote (available in FL, PA, NC, KY, TX, SC, GA, IN, WI, MN, NH, MO). Full-time. Provide outstanding customer support via phone and/or email, actively listening to customers to understand their needs and concerns, and using critical thinking and problem-solving skills to resolve issues efficiently. Requires a minimum of 1-year call center experience within the last 5 years, willingness to work any shift including weekends (Monday – Sunday from 9am-9pm EST), and a private workspace with a hardwired internet connection meeting specified speed requirements. Starting pay is $17.00 per hour.


**Petfolk** – Customer Support, Virtual Care. Remote (applicants must reside in AZ, FL, GA, NY, NC, SC, KS, TN, or TX). Full-time. Provide high-quality patient care and exceptional customer experience by interacting with customers and medical teams across multiple channels, including text, phone, and email. Requires 1 year of customer service experience in veterinary medicine, a quiet home office, high-speed reliable internet, and willingness to work weekend shifts in the EST time zone. Pay information not provided.


**Virtual Assisting**

As a work at home virtual assistant, you can specialize in email management and offer this service to your clients.


There are many, many business owners who get more emails a day than they can handle. So, it makes sense that they may want to outsource the task of answering them.


You can work for yourself as a virtual assistant, or you can work for a company who hires virtual assistants.


As a virtual assistant who works for yourself, you have more control over what services to offer your clients, which means you can be sure that answering emails is part of your services.


If you are working for someone else as a virtual assistant, there's a good chance you will still be spending time answering emails for your clients, but not a guarantee. Each client will have their own specific needs, and each company will ask you to do different things.


The following companies hire work at home virtual assistants on a regular basis:


Belay

Boldly

Time, Etc. 


**Post Your Email Management Services On Freelancer Job Boards**

If you don't really think you want to work as a virtual assistant, you can always take advantage of freelancer platforms and advertise your email management services.


You can usually set your own rates on freelancer sites, but it can be hard to get the word out about your services when others are offering the same service.


The idea is that, over time, you'll get good ratings from clients you've helped, and these ratings and reviews will show up on your profile — which leads to more clients and of course more money.


Consider the following job boards for posting your email management services publicly:


People Per Hour

Freelancer

Upwork

Fiverr

Guru


**Extra Cash Idea – Get Paid to Read Emails**

I've posted a lot about rewards sites in the past that pay you for different tasks. Most of these sites are best known for paying you to answer surveys, shop online, do short tasks, and stuff like that.


What you may not know unless you've used these types of sites is that some of them will also pay you to read emails.


This is very, very little money and I'd only recommend bothering with it if you are someone who likes using these types of sites for fun. If you do, you might want to sign up for the ones that pay you to open and read emails.


If you happen to have a separate email from your main email to sign up with, I'd recommend doing that and using it just for sites like this — just in case you happen to get tired of all the emails you will get and no longer have interest in earning a few cents to open and read them.


The following rewards sites are known for paying people a little bit to open and read emails:


Kashkick

Inbox Dollars

Swagbucks

I hope this post has given you some ideas for how you can work from home and answer emails! Good luck if you pursue anything listed above!

The Man Who Invented The "Psychopath"?

The Man Who Invented the “Psychopath”? Hervey Cleckley, an influential psychiatrist, is often credited with shaping modern understandings of psychopathy, even though his original intent was to help rather than stigmatize those affected. His 1941 work, The Mask of Sanity, was pivotal, as it introduced the concept of the psychopath as a specific personality type with 16 distinct traits. Cleckley described individuals who seemed outwardly rational but exhibited shallow emotions, lacked empathy, and engaged in destructive behaviors, though often without malice. Cleckley’s perspective was initially sympathetic; he saw these individuals as “forgotten” by psychiatry—people who needed understanding and treatment. However, as psychopathy entered the public lexicon, the term was quickly associated with malice, violence, and even inhumanity. Cleckley’s nuanced portrait of the psychopath was adapted by later researchers like Robert Hare, who created the widely used Psychopathy Checklist, a t...
