The popularity of work-from-home jobs has exploded since the coronavirus pandemic appeared, and it doesn’t look like they’ll be slowing down anytime soon. Many people discovered they could make significant income working from home without hitting the office. And even though workplaces have opened up since the pandemic slowed, working from home looks to be the wave of the future since it offers so many benefits.

What’s one work-from-home job that many are using to make cash from their couches? Search engine evaluator, and you could get hired as one if you do the following.

How To Find Search Engine Evaluation Jobs

Search engine evaluators look at the results of search engines to make sure they are accurate and relevant to what users are looking for. Without such workers, search engines like Google could be loaded with inaccurate results, causing users to waste their time as they try to find the pages and information they need.

Some search engine evaluation positions are full-time. Get one of those, and you could make around $55,000 per year, as that is the average salary for a search engine evaluator according to Ziprecruiter’s numbers. While full-time positions exist, you are much more likely to do search engine evaluation part-time as a freelancer. Per Glassdoor, this type of work could pad your bank account with a $12-15 hourly wage.

If that sounds like a solid income that could help you pay some bills or put food on the table, here’s how to get a job as a search engine evaluator:

1. Look for search engine evaluator jobs online through Google or companies like Appen, iSoftstone, TELUS International, or Lionbridge.
2. Take an online test to assess your skills, or complete an over-the-phone interview.
3. Show that you have the necessary equipment to work as a search engine evaluator, such as a strong Internet connection and a computer.
   Complete the necessary paperwork or application to get started.

As an example, let’s say you want to work for Appen as a search engine evaluator. All the company requires to work for them is a Gmail email address, the ability to commit to 10 hours per week, and a smartphone. To get started, just create an Appen account and complete your profile and registration. Pass a qualification test that takes one to two hours, and you can begin working and earning cash online (about $16 per hour max). Send Appen your invoice for the month’s work, and you can get paid via direct deposit within 30 days.

Why choose a search engine evaluation job over some local position? Besides the solid hourly pay, you won’t have to spend money on gas getting to a workplace, as you’ll be working remotely. And even though companies like Appen have a minimum hour requirement, the schedules are typically flexible to fit around your busy lifestyle.
