Today we are talking about work at home paid internships.
When I’m digging around for new remote job leads, I do come across lots of internships. Unfortunately, not all of them are paid or remote.
Internships can be fantastic opportunities for a variety of reasons — you can get valuable experience in different fields to add to your resume, college credit, and in some cases even referrals or recommendation letters to help you land future positions.
Many companies will also hire you on as an employee after you’ve successfully completed your internship!
For some people, accepting an internship that is unpaid or as a “volunteer” for the company is practical and worth it just for the experience, but if you are in need of immediate income, it’s not.
Below is a list of several paid internships that also let you work at home.
Even though these do pay, be mindful that many of them don’t pay well since the company considers their job to be an opportunity for you for other reasons. Some of them don’t provide a lot of hours, either.

Looking For Even More Legit Remote Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it’s cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don’t like it, it’s very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
