7 Weird Work From Home Job That Pays $60/hr

so I've done thousands of hours of research on remote work opportunities and while I'm doing that research once in a while I run into very weird work from home opportunities that actually exist and you can actually make money from and these are exactly what I'm going to be covering in today's videos and the first one on the list is going to be an ethical hacker for smart home devices so if you got a knack for Tech and a strong moral compass this job might be for you as an ethical hacker for smart home devices you'll be paid to find vulnerabilities in everything from smart fridges to AI powered toilets yes those actually exist and no I don't know why the catch you'll be constantly invading privacy albeit ethically and there's always the temptation to use your powers for evil in fact you could probably convince somebody that their house is haunted by poltergeists and it wouldn't even be that hard now the average hourly wage for an ethical hacker in the United States is $53 as of October 1st 2024 but the salary range typically Falls between $48 and $60 so this is an extremely compensated position and just as an example about what youd try to do here this guy even hacked smart home devices like the thermostat of the house using just the data from the light bulb crazy that's right you're never going to look at your smart toaster the same way again now if this job blew your mind as much as it blew mine hit that like button it helps more people discover these wild career opportunities next we're going to be talking about a dialect coach this is where you could coach people how to have an American accent for instance or you can even coach AI Voice assistance that's right have you ever wanted to teach Siri how to sound more sassy or help Alexa nail that Valley Girl accent well as a dialect coach for AI voice assistants you'll be teaching the machine to sound more human so you'll pretty much be doing just that and speaking of unique language jobs while coaching AI voice might sound futuristic real life dialect coaches already earn a respectable average of $20 per hour Nationwide and that's according to zip recruiter salary data so whether you're teaching humans or machines there's money in perfecting accents now let's talk about the downside it's incredibly repetitive work that might make you question your own Humanity see there are fewer and fewer things that humans can do that AI can't and if you've ever listen to AI voice even the really good ones you can almost always tell that it's actually AI they'll have weird pauses here and there or they'll say a word in a way that's just a little bit off or they'll say something in an emotionless way but these AI voices are getting better and better to the point where it's really hard to tell and it's it's going to be very weird in a few years where you get to the point where you actually can't tell if your favorite YouTuber is actually recording the video or if it's just AI voice and video that's been trained by the YouTuber to make it look like it's them but anyways if you can't beat them might as well join them right now this is another really weird one uh that we actually saw when we were doing research and that is an online dating ghost riter now I've talked about ghost writing on this channel quite a bit it's a legitimate career there's a lot of people out there for instance ghost writing on Twitter and other platforms that are making really good money but what's even more weird is there are people that have online dating Ghost Riders and this is basically where your mission is to craft witty bios and Charming messages and send them to people online so people are getting more and more busy and for dating app users that are too busy to do it themselves if they have enough money they can actually just hire somebody else to message them and yeah this is actually a thing I guess people are just ridiculously busy and if you think you could be good at being a professional flirt well you could make up to $30 to $50 an hour as an experienced dating app Ghost Rider and on the website I've tried that.com Chloe Rose who is a dating app Ghost Rider said as a closer as a Ghost Rider I had no contact with the client I was pretending to be so I had no way of knowing if they were creepy dangerous or married well she definitely has a point it's a little weird in fact it's a lot weird and it's borderline unethical but if you are down with doing this who am I to judge just remember with great power comes greater responsibility and if you want to try to learn a skill that's a little bit less creepy and a little more mainstream you should definitely check out corsera and a lot of the best jobs that I recommend going into on this channel corsera actually has unbelievable training for and in many cases the training is from the biggest and the best companies in the world for instance Google has a bunch of amazing professional certificates such as data

out the free guide so the link is in the description don't miss out the next one is going to be really weird and if you've ever been told that you have nice hands or elegant ears or perfect feet well now you can turn those compliments into Cold Hard Cash and this is going to be as a virtual body part model and you're going to be showcasing specific body parts for various industries from hand modeling for jewelry to ear modeling for headphones the possibilities are endless as they are bizarre and they're paid $28 per hour on average but some of them are getting paid around $48 per hour and speaking of unique modeling jobs professional hand model Ashley cumington reveals the glamorous yet quirky world of Parts modeling where she earns up to $10,000 a day for tasks ranging from holding multi-million dollar diamonds to having her fingers placed in strangers mouths for beauty campaigns no seriously she's actually done that next is going to be a professional apologizer so if you're the type who apologizes to Furniture after you stub your toe there might be a bizarre new career that's going to be perfect for you and it actually pays way better than you think from corporations to individuals you'll be the voice of remorse for those too proud or busy to say sorry themselves the downside it's emotionally draining to constantly deal with conflict and you might find yourself apologizing in your sleep now it's really hard to figure out exactly how much they earn but they tend to earn around $33 per hour based on our data and look I know this is not from the US but take a look at this this is an article published way back in 2014 and it's just totally weird there's an agency for this which blows my mind thinking about it that's right apology agencies so yeah as weird as this one is there is actually opportunity out there to do it next is going to be an online psychic and this one absolutely blew my mind because I saw these job opportunities pop up here and there but I didn't realize how much money you can actually make being an online psychic so if you've got a crystal ball and a stable internet connection you might have a future as an online psychic and you'll be providing spiritual guidance and predictions to clients from around the world so for instance this psychic from purple Garden is charging anywhere from $3.99 to $24.99 per minute for their mystical insights that's not $24.99 per hour that's $24.99 per minute now you might be thinking well nobody actually pays for that right well actually one of them even got 7,000 reviews already and when you count the fact that probably only 10% of the people that actually did the gig gave a review that means that they're probably making millions of dollars a year as a psychic so it just shows that there is demand for doing this job now the catch there are some serious ethical concerns about providing unverified information and you'll need to maintain a mystical Persona 24/7 plus if you were really psychic wouldn't you have known about this job already and also if you are really psychic please tell me what the stock market's going to do tomorrow now if peering into crystal balls isn't your Forte but you're still interested in reaching people online and you're interested in being able to actually predict the future you might want to check out the Google data analytics professional certificate which I'll put down the description and the pin comment below because that's the closest to a real fortune teller that anyone's ever going to be able to get next is going to be a professional insult comic for corporate events Yep this one is real as well got a sharp wit and thick skin well this job lets you put both to the test as a professional insult comic for corporate events you'll be roasting Executives and employees alike and the tricky part walking the fine line between humor and HR violations plus it might be a little hard to make friends with the office holiday party now this guy called Triumph the insult comic dog has insulted everyone from Star Wars fan to the entire state of New Jersey at a bon Joy concert and now he has become a staple of award shows and late night talk show and even MTV Movie Awards so yeah we ran across a posting for this one where it was basically an online event and they wanted somebody to roast Executives on the online event so this isn't exactly a job it's more of a gig but I thought I'd throw this one up there next is going to be a virtual reality scent designer so if you got a nose for business this job stinks in a good way and as a VRC designer you'll be creating smells for digital experiences and this is something that's probably going to be coming out within the next 10 to 15 years where not only will you be able to watch a TV or look at a video game but you'll also be able to smell the environment as well and VR designers are paid generally around $60 per hour but niched ones like those focusing on sense in virtual reality might be paid even more than that that's right you smell that that's the smell of money just be prepared for some unpleasant odor combinations now I know you probably enjoyed
