Digital specialities with a low entry threshold

Some specialities will, of course, have to learn: during your studies, you can build a portfolio to respond to orders and vacancies. And some remote professions are generally mastered "in battle", for example, during a test working week. These are usually tasks that any sane person without special skills can handle. So, let's go!"

A variety of educational courses are currently offered by everyone - from higher education institutions and some private academies, as well as individual teachers, experts, gurus... In total, there are thousands of them. Accordingly, all of them need people to plan and organise the educational process: prepare a schedule, coordinate it with teachers, control deadlines and reporting.

Of course, you also need to communicate with students: support, motivate, answer questions, and resolve disputes. Other responsibilities include webinar duties, collecting and analysing feedback from students, and maintaining information about students in the CRM. If necessary, and if you have the appropriate knowledge and skills, you may even be entrusted with checking homework.

So, you can get a job like this from scratch, especially if you know the subject matter of the course. For example, if you graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of a university, then all doors are open to you to take courses that teach something related to the specialities you studied.

We can say that this is a development of the previous vacancy, but here you organise a vacancy with a flexible schedule yourself. You will choose how many students you will have and what you will teach.

For example, courses in the exact sciences are very popular now, as schooling is difficult due to constant Russian attacks, and shelters are not everywhere. However, as practice has shown, distance learning is not suitable for teaching the whole class at the same time. That's why many people are looking for a supplementary education option to "catch up" on the subject they need."

You can teach online using only a smartphone camera. In addition to the sciences, there are many requests for English lessons for beginners. This could be your chance, if you are good at something, why not monetise it?

In principle, this is similar to the work of a regular salesperson in a small store, but on the one hand, it is a little easier (because you can do everything from the comfort of your sofa and use only your phone). On the other hand, you still need to learn certain specifics if you have not done this before.

The manager of an online store creates product cards, designs covers, and writes selling descriptions. You will also have to work with SEO to promote your store's products to the top of the search results. To do this, it would be better to take a short course, or at least listen to lectures on YouTube if SEO is three incomprehensible letters for you. Usually, stores are placed on several marketplaces at once, and therefore you will need to understand the various features inherent in each of them (for example, Prom, OLX, and Rozetka).

Of course, you will also have to deal with customer feedback and questions, purchases, and delivery of goods to the warehouse. It may seem like you have too many responsibilities, but in fact, this is a good option for working from home, and in practice, everything is much easier, especially if you have clear requirements and work recommendations from your management. More money is paid to managers who not only issue product cards but also study store analytics, work with the assortment, and increase sales.

In general, this is the author of various texts. These can be:

The task of a copywriter is to create a text that will "catch" the reader and become popular, which will lead additional customers to the relevant resource or blog. You don't need any specialisation or training at all, if you are good at writing and expressing your thoughts, this is a great online part-time job for you. Of course, you can improve your qualifications, but there is one drawback to this speciality - salaries are often low, and it will be difficult to make a career without additional knowledge.

You've probably heard all sorts of humorous and not-so-humorous stories about communicating with HR people from the IT community. Some of them are true, some are fiction, but in fact, this job is in great demand. In this position, people are responsible for HR and hiring new employees, conducting interviews with you when you join the company.

Usually, HR is not a deep expert in the company's field of activity, it just has certain control questions that assess your qualifications as a specialist. He or she also monitors the mood in the team.

What HR should be able to do:

As you can see, this job does not require specific IT knowledge. If you are a quick learner or have had similar experience before, you can easily apply for such a position. Of course, most HRs don't work remotely, but there are examples of such employment, especially in companies where the majority of employees work remotely or at least hybrid jobs are common.

This is also a very popular speciality that allows you to have a flexible work schedule. Yes, to a certain extent, we can say that it is a kind of dinosaur in the world of marketing, but even today it continues to be relevant.

The responsibilities of these specialists are:

Salaries here are mostly low, but you can learn everything quickly, and you don't need to have previous significant experience. The main cheat code of an email marketer is that the work is done while he sleeps at night or communicates with the client during the day. The arsenal of tools includes automatic newsletters that a specialist sets up once, and then they no longer require any further involvement. Therefore, email marketers are much more successful in combining several projects."

This is a relatively new area, previously this work was often assigned to an SMM specialist, but nowadays, large companies are increasingly appointing a separate person to this position.

The essence of the job is to establish cooperation with opinion leaders (i.e., influencers) in the industry in which the particular business that hires you operates. This is how mutually beneficial cooperation is established, as the blogger gets an increase in coverage, and your company gets advertising.

Again, you don't need any in-depth specialised tasks. You only need to have basic analytical skills to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of certain activities, prepare a report on the work, etc., as well as to choose the right opinion leaders with whom you will cooperate.

This is another speciality where you can be instructed literally in a day, or simply provide instructions in the form of ready-made answers to common questions. Your task will be to interact with customers and suggest solutions to possible problems.

However, the competition for these positions has recently increased significantly, and there are fewer places available. The fact is that AI-based assistant bots have been actively introduced, and they are still successfully competing with humans in such unskilled work.

If you don't know what a landing page is, it is a simple online company page without additional sections that encourages you to subscribe to the newsletter or contact the owners in one of the ways indicated on the page. It can be said that this is a kind of promotional page of the company, which should primarily encourage new audience to cooperate.

So, such sites are much simpler than "full-fledged" ones, but they have their own specifics, because they have limited functionality, in fact, only "visuals" to attract people. Therefore, on the one hand, it is much easier to learn how to create landing pages than large websites, and they are also popular and in demand in many places - from small businesses to design agencies. Besides, the completed landing pages will serve as great examples for your portfolio."

As you can see, there are a lot of different options. You can choose any of them, but keep one more piece of advice for the end. The simpler the speciality you choose, the more competition there will be, and the harder it will be to succeed.

So, even after you get a job, don't stop and continue your self-development and improvement. This way, you can later apply for another, more responsible - but also better-paid - position in the company.
