How to make money online in Jamaica

It’s the millennial dream! Earning an income from the comforts of our homes has been a hot topic all around the world but, do these opportunities exist in Jamaica? Today we are going to speak on how to make $1,000 USD per month from Transcription Jobs.


This job gives you the freedom to set your own hours and, in many cases, work as much or as little as you want each week. The job requires listening to audio or video files and typing what you hear. Companies typically pay $15 USD per one hour of audio transcribed however, on average it can take an individual 3 hours to transcribe and review his/her work.

So let’s do the math!

If you dedicate 5-6 hours of your day transcribing 2 hours of audio 6 days per week, this will generate 720 USD per month. Converted into Jamaica at our current exchange rate of 130, this will equal to $93,600.00 jmd per month from the comfort of your home or the beach!

These numbers were calculated at conservative rates. Persons who work the same amount of hours can also see a salary of 1200 USD per month. Here are some companies that offer transcription jobs:
