Work from home jobs without customer contact

A work-from-home job is perfect if you have kids at home, but so many of these jobs require talking on the phone. And for many people, this isn’t an option.

Whether you’ve got a lot of background noise, your work schedule is sporadic, or you’re just not a fan of gabbing all day long, you’ll want to find other legitimate work-from-home options that don’t require you to be on the phone all day.

They can be difficult to find when you’re weeding through the many work-from-home customer service jobs you see online. But luckily, we’re here to help.

Here are six legitimate non-phone work at home jobs to consider.

1. Freelance Writing

If you’ve got a way with words — the written word, that is — you might want to consider freelance writing.

This could be for a range of companies, from media websites to marketing firms to individual clients and even blogs. There are a number of websites that feature writing jobs, including Upwork, Demand Media (now called Leaf Group), Craigslist and more.

2. Virtual Assisting

Many companies or individuals look for virtual assistants to help them with their day-to-day tasks. Some may involve phone calls, but many don’t.

A virtual assistant job could include sending emails, scheduling appointments or bookkeeping. You can choose to work as an employee for a company such as 24/7 Virtual Assistant or Assistant Match, or you could take the other route and set up a virtual assistance company of your own. (Learn more about getting started as a virtual assistant here.)

3. Customer Support

Plenty of companies provide online support, which means you can help people with customer service without having to talk on the phone. Instead, you will provide customer support through chat and email. Websites such as Apple and Convergys are often hiring for online customer support positions.

4. Data Entry

Many businesses outsource data entry jobs, and it’s an easy task for you to do at home. What’s most important is that you have fast and accurate typing skills and experience with word processing, database and presentation software. Make sure you choose to apply for a legitimate company, such as Virtual Bee/The Smart Crowd or Smart Locating.

5. Transcription

Transcribing involves listening to an audio file and typing up what you hear. When working a transcription job, it’s easy to set your own hours, and you can apply for different jobs in general, medical and legal categories.

The work can be tedious, but it often pays well. You can find these jobs at TranscribeMe, Rev and TigerFish.

6. Search Engine Evaluation

Websites like Google and Bing need to make sure their search engines are providing the most accurate results, and you can help test for that.

This type of work is often referred to as “Google Rating,” and it involves good research skills and experience using the Internet. Companies with good reputations include Leapforce, Lionbridge and Appen.

I get many inquiries regarding data entry jobs and I don’t promote them because the pay is so low that it’s really not worth the time or effort.

I want to provide a list of work from home jobs that pay well along with the resources to help you get started.

In this article, I will show you how to make money from home. If you don’t have time to read this now make sure you “pin” it to read later.

Work from home jobs without customer contact

Blogging is my favorite no phone work from home job because you work around your own schedule and the earning potential is limitless!

I started blogging because I couldn’t find what I was looking for online, but there’s no reason you can’t write about what’s already out there.

You have your OWN voice and perspective.

I was inspired to start blogging when I discovered how bloggers were making between $2,000-$100,000 per MONTH (And now I’m one of them!).

I make money just for people reading my articles from ads.

When you get a nice amount of people reading your articles it brings in a nice income. Here’s a screenshot of my earnings from the other day.

7. Selling on Amazon (FBA program)

If you like shopping and searching for a good deal, you should definitely consider Amazon’s FBA program.

You find good deals on products at brick and mortar stores or online and resell them on Amazon for a higher price.

What makes Amazon’s FBA program so great is that THEY ship the products to your customers and handle the customer service!

How much can I make? This varies significantly and depends on how much work you are willing to put in, but Jessica from the Selling family made over $100,000 in profit after her first year as a full-time Amazon seller.

Rob from the Flea Market Flipper is the MASTER flipper and made over $130,000 flipping items PART-TIME. 

You do not need to have a lot of money to start either. Rob recommends his students to start with a budget of $20-$50 to find items. Based on that, they should be able to make $100-$300 (mostly reselling on eBay) and then take some of the profit and do it again.

This is one of the best non-phone work from home jobs that you can do either full time or in your spare time.

13. Freelance Jobs

Work from home jobs without customer contact

Freelance jobs are some of the best no phone work from home jobs. You deliver a service for a fee with the ability to work where and when you want with unlimited earning potential!

I have found many freelance jobs on Upwork. I sift through the available work options to see which project suits me the best.

I only apply to the jobs I KNOW I can do well because after the project is over it’s important that I get a good review so I can continue to get more jobs.

I suggest the following when applying to jobs on Upwork:

  • Focus on the projects with only 5-10 proposals or less submitted (less competition)
  • Check that the client has the “blue verified payment check” before applying
  • When you see a job that fits you, apply for it immediately!
  • If you live in the U.S., make sure to check “U.S. Only.”
  • If you are pitching your first job, try to offer your services for free for one week to ease the client’s mind since you have no references or reviews. If the client likes you move on with the “paid service” the following week. That’s how I won my first job, and the client still paid me for my first week.

For a full list of freelance services you can provide on UpWork, click here.

14. Web Search Evaluator

Web Search Evaluators rate social media ads and search engine results for relevancy.

This is a great opportunity for moms because it does not require getting on the phone, you make your own schedule, and it does not require any training.

How much can I make? $12.50 – $14 per hour.

How do I get started? Apply to the only two companies I recommend for web search evaluators.

15. Survey Taker

Work from home jobs without customer contact

Share your opinion to help brands deliver better products and services and get paid in the form of gift cards or through PayPal.

How much can I make? If you take the time to answer a lot of surveys, you could make $50-$100 a month. This is definitely just something to do to make extra money on the side.

How do I get started? I only recommend signing up for Survey Junkie,  Swagbucks, and PrizeRebel.

The more survey sites you sign up for, the more you’ll make.

Pro Tip: Open a separate email account solely for surveys. You’ll start to get inundated with emails, and it will be more manageable in a different account.

16. Website Tester

Get Paid to Test Apps and Websites. Companies need feedback on the user experience of their websites, and they’ll pay you to get it. This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to work from home without committing to phone calls.

Here are two companies that will give you $10 per test and usually take around 15-20 minutes each (User Testing now pays up to $60 per test):

  • User Testing
  • UserFeel

Did you find anything that interests you? If not, check out FlexJobs. With FlexJobs, you can access hand-screened remote, part-time, freelance, and flexible jobs—quick and easy! Use my code FLEXLIFE for 30% off.

The normal fee each month would be $14.95 a month, but it’s less using my code. I’m not a fan of paying to find work, but I get it has to get compensated somehow for hand-screening each job it posts.

Once you find a job, you can cancel, and if you don’t think it’s worth it, you can request a refund…so there’s no real risk.
