If you’ve ever typed “work from home jobs” into Google and felt overwhelmed, you’re not alone.
The truth?
Some companies quietly allow remote work.
Others openly and consistently advertise it.
And that difference matters.
Today, I’ve put together a carefully researched list of 44 legitimate companies that regularly post work-from-home openings — not “maybe once a year,” but often enough that checking their careers page is actually worth your time.
>No hype.
>No fake promises.
>Just real companies, real roles, and real opportunities.
π» Why This List Is Different
These companies:
✔️ Clearly advertise remote roles
✔️ Provide full job details on their official websites
✔️ Offer transparent pay ranges (in many cases)
✔️ Hire regularly — not just occasionally
Some are entry-level.
Some require experience.
Some let you set your own schedule.
But all of them are legitimate businesses — not mystery “side hustle schemes.”
In the list below, I've broken the companies down by category and provided a link to their websites and also our review (if there is one posted).
>Phone Jobs
Most of the following companies hire for either customer service, sales, and/or tech support.
You will most likely need some type of headset, a quiet background, and a high-speed Windows-based computer (there may be a few exceptions on that below). The experience you need will vary. Many will require at least a little bit of past customer service and/or sales experience while others may be entry-level.
>Hotel Planner
Hotel Planner has regular openings for remote reservation agents in the US.
Flexible schedule, can be full-time or part-time.
If you accept a call which results in a hotel booking, you earn a commission based on the booking profit after the guest checks out. You are paid twice per month, via check, or direct deposit. They state you may earn between $10 and $30 hourly.
>Qurate Retail Group
Qurate Retail Group has frequent remote customer service openings for their brands, Home Shopping Network, QVC, Cornerstone Services, and others.
These are usually limited to specific states (their needs may vary depending on the brand you're working under). Most of the positions pay $15 hourly with opportunity for bonuses. This is basically entry-level customer service work from home.

>Liveops
Liveops is almost always recruiting for new workers for their online contact center in the US. They pay per minute of talk time rather than hourly, so the amount you can earn will depend on how much you work. You are an independent contractor Liveops, so you are never on any fixed schedule.
>NexRep
NexRep is always on the lookout for customer service agents for different popular brands they service. You work for NexRep as an independent contractor, so you can set your own schedule. They claim you can earn $15 or more hourly working for them, but this will depend on many different factors.

>World Travel Holdings
World Travel Holdings hires work at home customer service reps to work at home in the US except for AK, CA, HI, KY, ND, OH, OR, and PA. They pay a base amount of $14 hourly or more if your state minimum wage is higher than that.
>Chat Jobs
It surprises me that I can never find too many chat-based home jobs, especially since so many companies these days have the little chat pop-up when you land on their sites.
I have a list here with a few others in addition to what's below, but the two below are the main ones with ongoing openings.
>Curated
Curated hires remote chat “experts” to work with customers looking to buy specific types of gear. Basically, you recommend products and help people make purchases via a chat-based platform.

>English Hunt
English Hunt is always looking for online tutors to do live ESL video instruction in the US. They say that compensation is determined on a case-by-case basis.
>Writing
The following companies usually have openings for writers. You'll notice most of these are content sites — which means a lot of what you do may be ghost writing and also may not pay very competitively.
However, having access to the sites below can help provide a lot of supplemental income. Some people do write for content sites full-time. Another good thing about the companies below is that you can usually get in even without past writing experience.
If you're serious about writing for a living, I'd also highly recommend becoming a part of Carol Tice's Freelance Writing Den. Since 2011, the Den has helped over 14,000 writers grow their income.

Boldly (formerly Worldwide 101) is always hiring work at home executive assistants in the US and UK. Pay starts at $24 hourly.
>Search Engine Evaluation
These companies almost always have openings, sometimes worldwide rather than just in the US.
You are usually evaluating web search or social media results. Sometimes there may be other types of tasks listed. Pay tends to be competitive, but the downside is that work and projects may come and go, so they are not safe positions to depend on.

⚠️ Important Reality Check:
I can’t promise every company on this list is hiring today.
But historically?
They almost always have remote openings rotating in and out.
The key is consistency:
Check weekly
Apply quickly
Customize your resume
Stay patient
Remote income is possible — but it rewards persistence, not impulse.
π¬ If This Helped You…
Tag someone who’s been searching quietly.
Share it with someone who needs options.
Or save it for later — because remote work opportunities don’t stay open forever.
