This role is built for you. These remote content moderation jobs pay $34/hour, give you flexible hours, and let you work independently from home while helping platforms maintain integrity, safety, and community guidelines.

What You'll Be Doing

As a content moderator, you’re the last line of defense between quality content and stuff that shouldn’t be online. You’ll review user-generated material (text, images, videos, comments) and decide what stays and what gets flagged, based on a set of clear, structured rules.

Your daily responsibilities may include:

  • Reviewing flagged posts, images, comments, or videos for violations

  • Escalating harmful or gray-area content to your team lead

  • Applying community guidelines to determine what’s appropriate

  • Categorizing or tagging content for review

  • Writing brief summaries when removing or restricting posts

  • Maintaining a consistent pace while reviewing high volumes of content

This is behind-the-scenes work that helps social networks, forums, and marketplaces stay safe and aligned with their brand values.

Who Should Apply

What You Don’t Need

  • A college degree or past content moderation experience

  • Customer service or sales skills

  • A webcam or microphone—this role is fully behind the scenes

  • Social media management or design experience

  • To work full-time—we offer part-time and flexible schedules

What You Do Need

  • Strong attention to detail and consistency

  • A high comfort level working with repetitive tasks

  • The ability to remain objective and impartial

  • A laptop or desktop computer (no tablet-only setups)

  • Reliable internet (minimum 10 Mbps)

  • Availability for 20–40 hours/week

  • A calm work environment and good time management

Compensation & Structure

  • $34/hour flat rate for all moderation roles

  • Weekly or biweekly pay via direct deposit

  • Paid training and guideline onboarding

  • Flexible shifts (including overnight, evening, or weekend hours)

  • Pathways into quality assurance or trust & safety leadership after 90 days

  • Performance bonuses for accuracy and speed

A Day in the Role

You log in from your home office and start your queue. Your first task: review flagged images from a niche community. You compare each piece against platform policy, tag what’s borderline, and escalate one unusual case. After a quick break, you finish a batch of comments, then document a few bans. You clock out knowing you helped shape a safer space online.
