11 High Paying Certifications For Remote Jobs in 2024 (And How Much They Pay)

I found 11 high-paying certifications that can help you get a remote job in 2024 and all of these certifications are affordable some of them are actually going to be borderline free you'll see what I'm talking about later in the video and some of them you can complete in as little as a few weeks and I've got a wide range of different career types so whether you're a creative person or you're really good with technology or maybe you're like a business type of person some of these certifications are going to appeal to you so if you appreciate me doing these videos go ahead gently tap that like button and let's jump into it right now with number one on the list which is going to be the meta social media marketing certificate all right so this one is offered by corsera and I did do an entire video reviewing this one and basically this is a partnership with Facebook or meta and corsera and this can help you land your first job in the business or marketing industry and digital marketing is an incredibly valuable skill to learn and according to BLS advertising promotions and marketing managers make about $138,000 a year but typically you're probably going to start off with more of a lower level social media marketing manager job and according to glass door they make about $50 to $882,000 a year you might also become a social media specialist and they make about 46 to$ 69,000 a year corsera also offers a free 7-Day trial and then after that at least at this time of recording this video it's about $49 a month so this is basically a six course series it does have a 4.9 star rating and that's with over 15,000 reviews so 15,000 people have taken this course and given it a 4.9 star rating that is pretty good now they say that it will take about 5 months if you work on it for 5 hours per week but honestly with all of these corsera certificates you can usually complete them much much faster probably something more like a few weeks to two months now if you can compare that to a college degree which typically takes 5.1 years on average or a boot camp which is usually going to take anywhere from 3 months to to an entire year that is lightning fast so yeah this is a very solid one to take it's also great when you take these certificates because you don't have to spend a bunch of money to figure out if you actually like the career and you like the subject so a lot of the time if someone is not sure what career they want to go into or they're not sure which subjects they like I always just tell them to go to corsera and take some of these different certificates and certifications and to see which one they Vibe with next is going to be the Google ux design certificate and I promise not all of these are going to be Google certificates although Google certificates are awesome and basically this is going to help you get your first job in ux design and ux is basically user experience so when you go to a website that has really good you know user interface user experience it's usually extremely intuitive so you kind of just know where everything is without even having to think so this one is typically really good for Creative types A lot of creative type people like to go into this career now according to glass door ux designers make about 74 to $122,000 a year so this is often a six figure level job which is crazy because you don't even need to have a college degree or previous experience in order to get into it now I'm going to tell you right now this is going to be one of the harder ones to get into on the list because obviously lots and lots of artists want to get paid to do art so you're going to have to have a killer portfolio and you're probably going to have to take this certification as well as several others but that doesn't mean this certification isn't good it just means that the job market is a little more competitive so overall really good one has great reviews online just know that you're going to have to have a killer portfolio quick pause to give you a special deal from our sponsor corsera is offering $200 off their corsera plus annual subscription this is a global offer so anyone in the world that wants to subscribe to corsera plus can have it now this is an incredible offer that gives you access to thousands of different courses and certificates including the Google certificates so make sure to click the link down in the description as well as the pend comment below now back to the video next is going to be the Salesforce sales operations certificate and sales sales force is basically a CRM that a ton of different sales teams all throughout the entire Market in the United States as well as a lot of other countries use so it's a pretty good idea to be familiar with this CRM and this software in general and by the way I'm going to be putting the link for all of these down in the description as well as the pen comment below you can check all of them out if I forget to put one of them down there just you know comment below and let me know but yeah sales operation Specialists make about $52 to $79,000 a year it's also another one that's relatively easy to get into you don't need a college degree your previous experience and by the way with a lot of these different corsera certificates actual employees at the companies are designing a lot of the curriculum so this is the stuff that they are literally looking for in real time right they're designing the curriculum because they don't have enough people out there that have these skills that they're looking for and this particular certificate has four different courses in it so you start off with the sales and CRM overview then you move into lead management and Salesforce then you move into opportunity management and Salesforce and then you move into reports dashboards and customer success in Salesforce so yeah another really good one Salesforce is super valuable to learn and my favorite industry to work in when it comes to sales is Tech sales and I've actually interviewed a bunch of people on this channel that have gotten into Tech sales themselves and they all use the company course careers and I have a free training for course crage which I'll put down in the description as well as the pinned comment below they will teach you everything you need to know about tech sales and how to get into it next is going to be the Google project management certificate and this is actually probably one of my top three favorite certificates this one is really really good and that's why 1.3 million people have taken this certificate and it has a 4.9 star rating now there's six different courses that you would take inside of the certificate program foundations of project management project initiation starting a successful project project planning putting it all together project execution running the project agile project management and the Capstone course which is applying project management in the real world now they say it's going to take 6 months and it's 100% % self-paced but again this is one that you can easily finish in a month or two now they say that the median entry level salary is $73,000 a year they say 75% of Google certificate grads report career Improvement there's 479,000 total job openings in project management and when you finish the certificate you get to connect with over 150 us employers so they basically give you access to an exclusive job board now project management in general you make about 77 to $129,000 a year and a lower level position like project coordinator you would still make $49 to $75,000 a year and yeah this one has great ratings online even the most negative cynical people in the world basically have nothing bad to say about this course of course there are other certificates and certification programs that you can take that will add to your knowledge and make it even easier for you to get a project management job but yeah this one is definitely not a bad choice for like 99% of people out there next is going to be the Google It support certificate and this might actually be my number one favorite certificate this was basically the first certificate that Google came out with when they partnered with corsera and almost 1.4 million people have taken it and even though it's a few years old now it still has a 4.8 star rating and this one will basically help you get into a bunch of different it related entrylevel jobs there's been people that have commented on my channel and there's been people who have commented on Reddit and stuff that say that they're able to get this certificate done in a few weeks and here are a few jobs that you might go into so for instance help desk technicians make $47 to $69,000 a year system analysts make 91 to $135,000 a year and of course later down the line you might get into a job like IT director and they make $ 160 to $257,000 a year so really well paying at the entry level roles really well paying at the medium level roles and also really wellp paying when you get a few years in as well and there has been countless posts from people who have gotten hired with just this certificate alone now is it a good idea to kind of bolster your knowledge with other certificates or other online online courses or just learning from free YouTube videos or Con Academy absolutely it's still a good idea to do that but the fact that these certificates even give you a punchers chance of getting a job when they only cost $49 a month is absolutely ridiculous I mean these certificates are absolutely the best bang for the buck out there so yeah got to love these all right next one on the list is going to be the Google digital marketing and e-commerce certificate now I'm going to be honest with you this is one of my least favorite out of all of them but it's still relatively good and basically my big bone to pick with this is there's so many different types of digital marketing and there's just no way you can go deep enough on any one of those different types if you're just teaching people digital marketing in general but with that being said over 400,000 people enrolled and it still has about a 4.8 or 4.7 star rating so people are definitely happy with the value they're getting considering they're only spending $49 a month now this one probably isn't going to get you a job just on its own like I said but at the very least it might help you pick the type of digital marketing that you want to do and you'll get to learn kind of the surface level basics of that type of digital marketing and here are some salaries for different types of digital marketing roles so marketing coordinators make about 48 to $72,000 a year email marketing Specialists make 52 to $81,000 a year and a higher level role like digital marketing manager make 71 to $120,000 a year so yeah one of my least favorites but it's still really good next one on the list might be tied for number one or it might honestly just even Edge out the Google It support certificate for being number one and that is the Google data analytics certificate I absolutely love this one and so do a lot of other people and that's why 1.8 million people have taken this course and it still has a 4.8 star rating now data analytics is a job that you can get without a college degree and without previous experience but you definitely still have to have the skills this is a high skill job and that's where this certificate comes in it can teach you a lot of the skills you need to know in order to get the job now chances are you're also going to have to buffer that with some extra skills you know learning things online taking other certificates taking online courses or just watching free videos on YouTube or Con Academy and you're going to have to build yourself a portfolio but the course actually helps you build the portfolio and if you type in data analysis on LinkedIn you're going to see there's 578,000 results at the entry level for jobs there is a ridiculous amount of demand for these skills and data analysts make 66 to $103,000 a year business analyst which is very close makes around 75 to $115,000 a year and a higher level position like principal data analysts make 59 to $247,000 a year now I remember I went around and I asked like every data analyst or data scientist that I knew I even reached out to other YouTubers what they would do if they were starting over to get into a data analyst position and almost every single one of them say that they would take this Google data analyst certificate first so yeah this one is freaking awesome probably my favorite certificate it's kind of up there with the it help desk one but the it help desk one is a little older so I feel like this one has probably taken its place as number one next certificate is going to be web design for everybody basics of web development and coding so this is another really good one it's actually offered by the University of Michigan but it's still on corsera and about 296,000 people have already enrolled so I'll be honest with you I haven't looked into this one as deeply as I have the other ones I haven't even made a dedicated video for this one whereas for most of the other ones I mentioned I actually made a dedicated video for them but basically you're going to learn to design and create websites and web developers make about 70 to $115,000 a year now web development used to be really easy to get into it was actually kind of like the easiest type of coding to get into but then a bunch of people started learning how to do it online a bunch of boot camps opened up and now it's somewhat saturated and I say saturated but really it's not that saturated it's like saturated for Tech which basically means you're not going to have recruiters constantly reaching out to get you to come to their company and the thing is is you actually have to have the skills now it used to be that if you just had a pulse and you kind of knew a tiny little bit about coding you could get hired now you actually have to have the skills see the upside to these types of careers is you can get into them without a college degree and without previous experience the downside to that is you have to first have the skills and then second prove that you have the skills and typically the way you're going to do that is by building a really good portfolio but the truth is that is easier said than done now it looks like this one has about a 4.7 4.8 star rating which is still really good that means the vast majority of people are very happy with it and that makes sense considering again it's only $49 a month but I will tell you web development is a bit harder to get into than a lot of the other ones on this list by the way if you're enjoying this video and you think of anybody else out there they could also enjoy it whether it's a friend a family member or someone who just needs to get a job go ahead and share this video with them gorsa has changed millions of people's lives and by sharing this video with them you might change their life as well all right next is going to be the IBM data science certificate all right so this is another one that's very solid has about a 4.6 star rating and 245,000 people have taken it and the crazy thing is you can actually earn up to 15 college credits by taking this certificate now don't get me wrong this course is awesome but if you're trying to land a role as a data scientist you're probably not going to have a very easy time doing it with just certificates alone I mean it's possible to do it but you'd have to be like a borderline genius a much smarter way to do it is to become a data analyst first then get a bunch of experience take some more certificates and then you can pivot to becoming a data scientist now this one is pretty extensive it has a total of 10 courses in it I'll put them up on the screen and you can check them out pause the video if you need to and it says that it takes about 5 months to complete but most of the reports on Reddit as well as my comment section show about 2 months or so but there was one report of this crazy guy who did it for 12 hours a day and he was able to finish it in 17 days and by the way if for whatever reason you can't afford the $49 a month to take these certificates corsera does have kind of like a scholarship fund type of thing so you can apply to that scholarship fund and in many cases they will accept you and they say on the website that data science related jobs make about $112,000 a year now one thing that corsera does that I wish they would kind of clarify is they say that 26% of certificate grads started a new career and I wish they would say you know what time frame that was also what type of career was it like was it anything related to data for instance but yeah this one is still really good another IBM certificate is going to be the IBM devops and software engineering certificate now they say this is beginner level but in my EXP experience devops is more than beginner like you're probably not going to go from zero Tech experience to a devops role but devops is one of the most valuable and most sought after types of software engineering and devops engineers make $ 103 to $148,000 a year and they have some really impressive professors or teachers in this certificate that work at IBM now this one is a 14 course series I'll have them pop up on the screen here you can pause to check them out if you'd like to and these like almost all of the other certificates that corsera offers we'll do resume reviews interview prep and also career support for you so yeah another really good one definitely want to check out if you're interested in going into Dev Ops next on the list is going to be the IBM cyber security analyst certificate so this is another pretty good one has a 4.6 star rating with 173,000 people that have enrolled you can also earn up to 10 credits if you're going to college lots and lots of opportunity in cyber security it is another one of those where you absolutely do have to have the skills right like imagine a company putting you in charge of cyber security when they're not sure that you have the skills to do that and then someone breaks in steals all their customers data how are they going to explain that in court just think about it right you absolutely have to have the skills but with that being said there is a massive amount of demand for people who have these skills now I will be honest typically what you see is people go into it first and then they go into cyber security it's pretty rare where you see people going from zero Tech experience to cyber security right off the bat but you do see people people getting a college degree in something cyber security related and then going into cyber security right off the bat but yeah cyber security analysts this position is growing at 31% over the next 10 years according to BLS absolutely crazy now this one has eight courses in it I'll put them up on the screen you can pause and check them out if you'd like to and a lot of people say that online if you study it really hard you can finish it in about a month if you study it kind of gradually it'll take maybe two months or so now as a junior cyber security analyst you'd probably make around $84,000 a year and higher level job like security architect you'd make 176 to 278,000 absolutely ridiculous now by the way if you like this video you'd probably also like my Google professional certificate tier list and you can check that out by clicking right here
