Another Friday, another roundup of my favorite remote jobs of the week!
If this is your first time here, let me fill you in. (If not, you can skip down to the good stuff — the job leads!)
This is a roundup post of 5 remote job leads posted this week. There’s also a little commentary about the job, what you should know, and thoughts on the company who’s hiring.
Note: Remote jobs are often filled quickly! At the time I publish this post, all job leads are active. If you’re reading this a week later, some (or all) may already be filled.
That’s okay.
This post comes complete with a video tutorial to help you find dozens of home-based jobs — on autopilot!
Ready? Here we go. Let’s see who’s hiring this week.
1. Luxury Travel Agents @ World Travel Holdings
World Travel Holdings routinely hires travel agents. Sometimes it’s specifically for reservations agents. Other times it’s sales agent. And this week? They’re looking for luxury travel agents.
About the Job
This is a full-time, 40-hour a week position. You will mostly handle villa sales and need to be a highly-motivated sales person. Two or more years of previous travel sales experience is required.
This is an employee position. You receive benefits like paid time off and travel discounts (to name a few). Sales agents work flexible schedules depending on demand — this is not a typical 9-to-5 workweek.
What Others are Saying
World Travel Holdings is the largest online cruise company. And while many of their employees work from home, they have offices spread out across the U.S. and United Kingdom.
Overall, their employee reviews are favorable. Not surprisingly, many employees list working from home as a major perk. On the flip side, some employees report their schedules can be unpredictable and raises are lacking.
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
World Travel Holdings accepts applicants in MOST states — but not all. Currently, they hire residents located in:
AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MS, MO, MT, NV, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OK, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY
To get the job done, World Travel Holdings will send you a computer! However, you have to pay a $500 deposit for the company computer and phone. The deposit is refundable and is deducted over the course of five payroll checks.

2. Administrative Assistant at Independence University
While this remote admin position is for Independence University, you’ll actually be working for the Center for Excellence in Higher Education (CEHE). The CEHE is a non-profit family of college brands that includes Independence University.
About the Job
The remote administrative assistant will primarily handle graduation and employment efforts for students who complete graphic design programs at Independence University.
Previous admissions experience is beneficial as is a solid understanding of Microsoft Office.
What Others are Saying
There aren’t a lot of employee reviews for CEHE. However, you can find quite a few reviews from Independence University workers.
For the most part, reviewers are split down the middle. The happiness of employees seems to depend on their department. For example, individuals working in admissions seem to be the least pleased with their jobs, according to Indeed Reviews.
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
Although employee reviews are so-so, this is a great employee opportunity for anyone looking for a remote administrative job. And even though this position doesn’t involve admissions, you’ll be a standout candidate if you do have previous experience in an admissions/re-entry role.
But, if you don’t, that’s okay too. There are plenty of other ways to work from home as an admin or virtual assistant!

3. Technical Support Specialist at 2U
In a nutshell, 2U is an education technology company. They offer technology services to major universities and colleges to help them offer online programs. 2U is still in its startup phase — but has shown tremendous growth since launching.
About the Job
The Technical Support Specialist position is part-time. It also happens to be an overnight shift — perfect for remote-seeking night owls.
You can expect to work between 15-20 hours each week. Your schedule may include Saturday and Sunday shifts — flexibility is key!
The Technical Support Specialist is primarily responsible for answering phone calls from current students and faculty as well as recent graduates. You will help troubleshoot any tech support issues.
This role also sits in on live classroom sessions and keep an eye out for any issues that may pop up.
What Others are Saying
Because 2U is still considered a startup, there aren’t a whole lot of employee reviews out there. However, initial feedback is encouraging. Several reviewers enjoy the work-life balance offered and feel like they have room to grow with the company — a definite plus of getting in with a newer company.
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
This is a tech support position. Having previous experience troubleshooting and walking people through support issues is key!
And remember, this is an overnight, part-time job. Your hours may fluctuate and include shifts that run from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. EST.
If you’re looking for a second job online — this could definitely fit around a standard nine to five. And since it’s a startup, you can get in early and potentially have tons of room to move up as the company continues to grow!

4. Reports Coordinator at BroadPath Healthcare Solutions
BroadPath is headquartered out of Arizona but the majority of their employees work from home across the United States — hooray for distributed workforces!
What’s their line of business? Healthcare insurance. But don’t worry. If this is a foreign sector to you, don’t count yourself out just yet. BroadPath is open to hiring those without experience as long as you show the right attitude.
About the Job
This position is called Reports Coordinator. There is a lot of data entry involved. If you consider yourself somewhat of an Excel expert — great! You’ve got a better chance of getting hired.
The Reports Coordinator will enter timecard information, review reports, and prepare a number of spreadsheets for company supervisors.
You’ll definitely need to stay focused (and motivated) while performing a number of repetitive tasks day in and day out.
Pay rate is $15.00/hour.
What Others are Saying
Past and present employees have a lot of great things to say. In fact, many give BroadPath a full five stars — not something you always see with work-from-home companies.
Work-life balance and compensation are two of the biggest pros. Management, specifically being micromanaged, tend to be a common theme from reviewers.
But, all in all, they’ve got a great reputation and work to keep their employees happy.
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
If you’ve been looking for a data entry gig — this could be perfect for you. Traditional online data entry jobs pay next to nothing. And while this position isn’t entirely data entry, the bulk of your work will be inputting information into a spreadsheet and creating reports but at a fair pay rate of $15.00/hour.
Since this is heavy on spreadsheets, you need to be proficient in Excel — no ifs, ands or buts. In fact, you’ve got to take an Excel test as part of your application. If you don’t take it, you won’t be considered for the job. Period.

5. Freelance Writers at Ultius
I know what you’re thinking — “Not another online platform for freelance writers!” I know. I know. There are a lot of them out there. But Ultius is a bit different.
For starters, this isn’t a freelance bidding site. And you don’t have to meet a certain quota each week. You simply login and work as much or little as you’d like (as long as work is available).
Plus, they offer great support to their writers. In fact, you have access to an HR department and dedicated, 24/7 support and editors available to help you with any questions you may have.
About the Job
Freelance writers for Ultius should be able to write in a strong academic style. Each assignment comes with a set of instructions that you must closely follow. Being able to follow these instructions is key to success.
You do not need to have a four-year degree to be considered. However, it is preferred to have one or at least be in the process of getting one.
You’ll need to be comfortable working with Microsoft Office and have academic research skills to your name.
Payments are issued twice a month via PayPal. Each assignment is paid per page.
What Others are Saying
A quick Google search about Ultius will quickly yield hundreds of writer reviews! For the most part, writers are happy. And this isn’t something you often see when it comes to freelance writing sites.
Higher pay and the ability to move up the ranks drives writer happiness here. However, slow-moving editing processes and hit or miss workloads seem to be the two biggest cons.
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
You must reside in the U.S. to be considered as a writer for Ultius. Currently, they cannot accept writers residing in CA, NY or MA.
If you’re looking for work-whenever-positions — this certainly fits the bill. There may not always be work available, but there seems to be a steady flow of assignment on any given day. And, as a bonus, you can actually go from writer to editor to staff job with Ultius!

This post is really informative and you have posted such precious and informative article which gave me lot of information. I hope that you will keep it up and we will have more informative and helping news from you. Thanks
The Ultius, Inc. job opportunity is a bit misleading. For writers first starting out with the company, they’ll have barely any orders available. When I say “barely any orders,” I mean like just one or two each day at max. That’s not an exaggeration. You’re competing against several other writers too. This is absolutely a huge turnoff right now. A writer, who majored in mathematics or sociology, will more than likely struggle on a philosophy topic order. You can’t pick on a specific subject if different options aren’t available. Additionally, you must complete at least 20 orders starting out, and later apply to qualify to have access to the regular, urgency and graduate queues. From my own experience, this is a very long process. Ultius, Inc. is a real technology company located in Las Vegas and Delaware, but this policy for their freelance writers is quite unfair overall. Making a lot of money in your first couple of months as a writer with Ultius is not practical starting out. You feel like it’s a scam, but it’s not. There are times in your first few months that you just want to give up. It’s a bit complicated to fully explain. Work for WriterBay, Uvocorp, Proficient Writers and other writing companies while you’re employed at Ultius to help maximize your earnings.
