Need Money? Get a Part-time Online Job


I have mentioned on a previous post that I am continuously searching for ways to get extra income online and that I have registered with a site called EasyOutsource.com which is a freelance site made especially for Filipinos.

Thankfully, an employer contacted me for a transcription job. Actually, I got more than one job offer, but I had to turn down some because I don’t want these online jobs to interfere with my TV time ;p

If you’re not a techy person like me, you can apply for simple jobs like data entry, transcription, article writing, or blog commenting. These are the jobs I do now for different employers that I have had the pleasure of working with because of this site.

Just be cautious when accepting a job. At EasyOutsource.com, the method of payment is discussed between you and the employer. It is not like Odesk’s system where all the communication and payment are done through their site which ensures that all jobs done are paid accordingly. So, don’t you go blaming EasyOutsource.com if an employer didn’t pay you for some work that you did. It is up to you to determine if an employer is shady or not.

Fortunately, I already got paid on my transcription gig. Not big money I know, but without 10 cents you won’t have a dollar. I’ll just let them add up and then one day, I might reach that $5000 goal.

Weekend Blog Follower Caravan


If you are a blogger then you are probably familiar with the term SEO.
SEO means Search Engine Optimization and from what I have read, the most effective way to be visible in search engines would be to expose your site and to spread your link throughout the entire internet. This takes a bit of skill and some people even hire SEO experts to do this for them.

For simple bloggers like me, who don't want to spend money for SEO, the best way to attract visitors would be to register in blog community sites which promote blog following and allow you to exhange links with them. One of the sites which I follow is now holding a contest which would let you win $5 - $20 with very simple Google + clicks.
Their contest is called

Weekend Blog Follower Caravan

Now I haven't been picked for it yet, and I can't find a way to add the Google Plus on my sidebar. Hopefully I can fix it sometime soon.
