All right. So, a lot of viewers of this
channel are busting their ass at some
soulcrushing 9-to-five job where their
boss is breathing down their neck all
day, and they're thinking, "There's got
to be a better way to make money without
selling your life away." Well, get this.
There are people out there sitting on
their couch in their underwear, making
$80 to $100,000 a year doing jobs that
you probably don't like doing because
they're repetitive and boring. Now, I'm
not talking about the usual suspects
like software developer or graphic
designer that everyone talks about in
their videos. I'm talking about dull
jobs, the kind where people at parties
change the subject very quickly when you
tell them what you do. And today, I'm
going to be breaking down seven dull
remote jobs that pay well. And let's
jump into it with number one on the
list, which is going to be a social
media investigator. And they typically
get paid about 44 to $80,000 a year with
a median of 58,000. Now, now you're
probably thinking, "Chain, that kind of
sounds like someone who stalks people on
Facebook." And you're not entirely
wrong. Sort of. But here's the thing.
Companies, insurance agencies, and law
firms will actually pay you to dig
through people's online dirt. And I
found this comment from someone who does
this job. We're typically requested to
do social media surveillance right along
with standard surveillance, $250 per
subject, and they typically take less
than 30 minutes initially, then a few
minutes a day to check for updates. And
basically, if someone claims that they
hurt their back at work and can't lift
anything, but then posts Instagram
videos of themselves doing CrossFit,
you're the one that finds that footage
and saves the insurance company
thousands of dollars. And here's what's
crazy. Most of the time, you're just
looking at public profiles. People put
their whole lives online and don't even
realize that they're sabotaging
themselves. You're just getting paid to
find out. Some investigators even report
finding evidence that outshines video
surveillance, like subjects dancing on
Tik Tok or posting about sports
activities right after claiming an
injury. And the best part, you don't
need a fancy degree. You just need to be
organized, detail- oriented, and have
top-notch internet stalking skills,
which, let's be honest, most of us have
already developed for free. All right,
job number two is compliance analyst.
They make about 74 to
$124,000 a year with a median of around
95,000. Now, I'm not the only one who
thinks compliance is a hidden yet very
boring gold mine. One glass door
commenter, for instance, said,
"Traditionally, compliance roles offer
very stable hours and don't really work
more than 40 hours from my
understanding." Another noted, a
relevant degree is not required as I
believe it's mostly just learning the
systems and learning on the job. Even at
firms where work life balance can be an
issue, you don't typically see the
compliance folks feeling the same
burden. So, what do compliance analysts
actually do? They basically make sure
that companies don't break laws and
regulations. You're the person who says,
"Hey, we probably shouldn't do that
because it could result in a $5 million
fine." So, you review processes, monitor
transactions, and identify potential
risks. And it's all about keeping the
company out of trouble. And since rules
are constantly changing, companies are
desperate for good compliance people.
Quick break. This video is sponsored by
me. Most of you don't know that I
actually have my own coaching program on
personal branding and then growing and
making money on YouTube. And this is
good for complete beginners, maybe even
people who just want to get a job by
growing their personal brand, all the
way up to people who are very advanced
on YouTube. And they get to work
directly with myself and my team to help
them reach their goals. Now, we are
opening up three to five spots, and this
is pretty rare. We usually don't have
these open. We usually only limit them
to select people, but we're opening up
three to five spots, and you can check
those out down in the description and
the pen comment below. And in this
program, you'll get to work directly
with myself and other people who are
highly successful on YouTube. Just as an
example, Shawn was able to go all the
way from being stuck, not making very
much money on his channel to making over
$500,000 a month. Now, that's an example
of one of my more advanced students, but
there's lots of examples of people who
started off from scratch and they got to
5K a month, 10K a month, etc. So, check
that out down in the description and the
pin comment below. All right, job number
three is credit analyst, and they make
about 68 to
$121,000 a year with a median of 90,000.
Now, before you zone out thinking this
sounds like another boring financial
job, here's what actual credit analysts
say about the role. One analyst shared,
"You gain a great foundational knowledge
in credit and lending, which opens up an
enormous amount of doors for you in many
different subfields of banking. You get
trusted very early on your career to
conduct real financial analysis and you
network with a lot of different product
partners and other departments at the
bank. So, credit analysts basically
determine if people or businesses are
likely to pay back loans. You look at
financial statements, credit reports,
market conditions, and other factors to
make your decision. And here's what's
cool. You're essentially getting paid to
learn how money and credit really work.
Most people pay thousands for financial
education that's not half as valuable as
what you'll learn on the job doing this.
And the best part is this is another
field where you don't necessarily need a
specialized degree. Many credit analysts
get promoted from cashier or customer
service positions. So just be organized
and good with numbers. Next is going to
be a pay-per-click analyst and they make
about $65 to $105,000 a year with a
median of 82,000. Now if you have no
idea what PPC or pay-per-click is, these
are the people who manage those ads that
you see on Google and Facebook. They're
the ones deciding how much you bid on
keywords with audiences to target and
how to optimize campaigns to get the
most bang for their buck. And one
analyst described their day making new
campaigns, adjusting ads, analyzing
keywords, answering emails, setting up
reports, analyzing income traffic in
Google Analytics. And it's basically a
mix of data analysis and creativity. You
need to understand the numbers, but you
also need to know what messages will
resonate with people. And the cool thing
about PaperClick is that it's extremely
measurable. Unlike other marketing roles
where success can be subjective, in
PaperClick you know exactly how much
money you spent and how much revenue
came from it. And that means when you do
well you have concrete proof of your
value. And companies are desperate for
good paperclick analysts because digital
ad spend keeps increasing every single
year. Plus if you can demonstrate that
you consistently generate more money
than you spend on ads, you've basically
got job security for life. Now by the
way if you're thinking Shane, these
sound great, but how do I actually get
into them? Well, I have a complete
master list of courses, certifications,
certificates, etc. that are either
completely free or extremely affordable,
and I keep this list updated, and you
can check that out by clicking the link
down in the description and the pin
comment below. And I highly recommend
that you do because those will
absolutely help you land these jobs. All
right, job number five, bank
reconciliation specialist. And in this
job, you make about $59 to $100,000 a
year with a
$76,000 median income. Now, I know what
you're thinking. That sounds
mind-numbingly boring. But hear me out
because the people who do this job
absolutely love it. One specialist
wrote, "This is my favorite part of the
job. I get to find many mistakes. It's
surprising all the different ways that
people can make mistakes, which is okay.
It's also a very important task."
Another said, "First of all, I'm glad to
see I'm not the only one who loves
completing reconciliations, and yeah,
bank reconciliation specialists are
basically financial detectives. They
compare internal financial records with
bank statements to make sure everything
matches up. And when there's a
discrepancy, they figure out why. It's
perfect for people who find satisfaction
in making things balanced. And it's kind
of like solving puzzles every day, but
you get paid really well for it. And the
thing is, many companies are desperate
for really good reconciliation
specialists because it's a job that
requires attention to detail and
patience, which aren't exactly common
traits. Plus, you don't need a degree
just to be organized and good with
Excel. What's happening, guys? In the
editing process of this video, and I
have an opportunity for a select group
of people. So these are people who are
serious about growing their personal
brand on YouTube. So basically we
figured out recently how to grow a
personal brand and combine all the
upsides of a personal brand with the
upsides of automation right using AI
using things like this to basically grow
your personal brand 10 times faster
which in the past used to take decades
to do. And now you can do it
significantly faster. And you can do
this to get a better job. You know we
work with beginners that just want to
get a better job with their personal
brand. You can do this to make money as
a side hustle. We work with a lot of
people like that. We can do this to make
more money. If you already have a side
hustle or a small business or if you're
already crushing it on YouTube, we can
help you crush it 10 times more. We've
worked with people like that as well. I
mean, I literally can show clients at
each level. People that we've gotten
from zero to over 10K, zero to like over
30K, uh, from like 1K per month all the
way up to 185K per month, from around
30K per month, all the way up to over
500K per month. So, literally at every
single level, and it works for everyone
in every situation. With that being
said, we are only working with three to
five people and they have to be people
who are very serious, right? People who
are dedicated to making this work. So,
if you think you're that type of person,
go ahead and apply down the description
and the pin comment below and you can be
part of our group of 35 that we help.
So, see you there. Have a good one. All
right. Next job is copy editor and
you'll make about $55 to $96,000 a year
with a median pay of 73,000. Now, copy
editors review written content to fix
grammar, spelling, and style issues. And
they make sure everything is clear,
consistent, and error-free before it
gets published. And what's great about
this job is that it can be done 100%
remotely. And demand is actually
increased with the rise of content
marketing and digital media. Every
website, blog, magazine, and business
needs someone to make sure their writing
doesn't sound like it was created by a
fifth grader. And if you're the type of
person who mentally corrects grammar
mistakes when reading articles or gets
annoyed by misplaced apostrophes, you
might as well get paid for that skill
instead of trolling people in YouTube's
comment section. Now, most copy editors
have English or journalism degrees, but
what really matters is your eye for
detail and the command of the language.
And there are plenty of online courses
and certifications that can help you
break into the field without a formal
degree. Again, check out my master list
down in the description and the pin
comment below. Next is a tax specialist.
And this position brings you about 58 to
$98,000 a year with a median of 75,000.
And tax specialists help individuals and
businesses navigate the complex world of
government theft. I mean taxation. They
identify deductions, prepare returns,
and make sure that everything is
compliant with tax laws. And according
to one tax professional, working in tax
is both interesting and challenging. And
the type of work is quite varied
depending on the type of client, their
industry, international requirements or
the particular type of transaction they
are undertaking. And as part of your
work, you will be required to resolve
complex tax issues and determine
appropriate tax treatments for your
clients. Now, the great thing about tax
work is that it's recession proof. Even
in economic downturns, people still need
to file taxes. And with tax laws
constantly changing, there's always
demand for specialists who can stay up
to date. Plus, while it's typically
busier during tax season, many tax
specialists report having very
reasonable hours the rest of the year,
making it great for work life balance.
Except during tax season, your life's
going to suck. And contrary to popular
belief, you don't necessarily need to be
a CPA to work in tax. Many firms hire
tax specialists with bachelor's degrees
in accounting, finance, or even
business. Now, if you want more jobs
that are similar to this, I made an
entire video that went viral. People
loved it, and it's called 15 boring but
realistic work from home jobs that are
always hiring. And you can watch that by
