Transcriptionist Jobs for Beginners
Transcriptionists take video and audio files and turn them into text by transcribing the content. Some projects require you to subscribe word-for-word while others may just involve writing up a paraphrased summary.
Either way, transcribing is not a difficult task and it's a skill anyone can learn. If you type quickly and accurately you've already met one requirement.
Need additional training? You can take an online transcription class to improve your skills or learn more about certain niches like medical transcription.

As a search engine evaluator, your job would be to evaluate search engine results to determine if they are relevant or not to the term typed in. In other words, you'll make sure sites like Google and Bing are doing their job and providing users with relevant results for their search terms. This is just one way that major search engines ensure search queries lead to accurate results.
Companies like Appen and Lionbridge frequently hire for this work from home position. You can also check out these online search engine evaluator jobs for beginners.
Customer Service Jobs for Beginners
There are a plethora of home-based customer service jobs available these days. Most will only require you to have a high school diploma and some related work experience.
The great thing is that most past jobs you've had probably involved customer service of some sort if you've had to provide a service, sell a product, or simply work with other people.
It's a great home-based job option for beginners because most companies provide stable hours. You'd most likely just need to get some basic equipment like a headset, a home phone line, and have a quality computer to get started.

Hello Shay, my name is Tonya. I am in need of your assistance in Florida with a part-time job from home. I am interested in being a Mystery Shopper or a Product Tester from home. Please assist me on which website is best to apply.
Thank you so very much!
i have a question .With Transcribing are we suppose to listen to the audio file and type out everything we hear or what are we suppose to do
I am looking for work, work at home jobs. In the state of Illinois.
Hello everyone,
I recently (July 2019) took the test for TranscribeMe and the retry on the same day. Although my grades were 90-96% on the three actual transcription tasks, I “failed” each one of them. The requirement is 100% on the short answers, as well. I found these standards to be too high and it does not offer critical feedback for you to improve. Re-testing is available 30 days later.
Quicktate requires the transcriptionist to have the pedal. A newbie may not want that expense just starting out.
Rev.com has, on the other hand, been excellent in customer service and support for a new transcriptionist. I highly recommend Rev.com!
Hope this helps.
Hi Michael,
You are very correct in saying that TranscribeMe leaves no room for error. They are pretty tough. I’ve lost hope with them and am moving on. I will try Rev.com.
How is their work availability? Is there constant work or is there a gap between projects?
Thank you for your info and I wish you all the best.
Vicky
I appreciate all the hard work you do,putting together helpful information. I don’t know what to do as everything is done electronically . I haven’t worked in 18 years as I have a complicated situation of a special needs child that I cared for and wasn’t able to return to work. Now I am ready ,but have nothing to show,current enough for employers. Also I have a GED ,I had to leave school to help support my parents and sisters. I am disabled and need to be able to work at home. If anyone has any advice for me ,I would love to hear. I just want a chance to work.
You are so welcome Tammy!
