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.

The Continuous Search for Online Income Opportunities

As of now, I am earning around $30 a month on the online money making websites that I have joined. I don’t include my Mturk earnings on that computation since I only get my payment from them through Amazon gift certificates.

If you type in “make money online” in the Google search box you will get about 399,000,000 results which means that making money online is real and there are plenty of different ways to do it.

People spread the word that money making is possible. Some say it is because they want to share their knowledge to help others, but mostly it’s just because they want to make more money. You see, most money making programs give referral incentives. The more referrals you get, the more money you make.

Now, I am not good at getting referrals so I look for ways to earn online where I do not have to twist my friends’ arms before I get any payment.

Freelancing is one of the best ways to do this.

I am a member of Freelancer and Odesk probably two of the most famous freelance sites on the internet. You can search for thousands of available jobs on these sites, the problem is, since they are too famous, the competition has become very difficult.

To be accepted for a job, you have to apply then bid on the project. Naturally, employers pick the ones with the lowest bids. In the end, you do a big amount of work for a tiny amount of cash.

I have just found a new freelance site that is made specifically for Filipino workers.  It is called EasyOutsource.com and here they give plenty of job opportunities to willing Filipinos.

Of course, there is still an application and bidding process but this site looks more promising to me than other freelance site because after only a few hours of submitting an application for a job, I have already received an email from the employer asking me when I could start.

Well, I do hope I get the job. I’d still have to submit a sample but I am quite confident with my skills.
