Earning Money Online

Real Jobs Online!!

These are real jobs - online jobs, work from anywhere. Not stuffing envelope scams, though you may find a few of those too.They are all per-project deals. They are all bid-on-the-project types, which is what I happen to like. And all of them are international. In short, you can sit in your bungalow in Bali and work for a firm in the UK. Nice thought, isn't it! There are always some employers on any site who want only their own country, but you have a much better chance on these sites of making some extra money, and in a few cases, of making a lot of extra money!

Truly international - the site is now in 4 languages, more to come. Unfortunately, most of the employers are posting English only, but you can see the site menus and instructions in Chinese, German, Norwegian and English. Money transactions are carried out in Euros. The charge subcontractors 10% of fees earned. Job postings are free. Subcontractors can receive pay through Smarter Work.

It's wonderful not to see the $ everywhere (you can choose a different display currency to give you a local price approximation). A good site, with many extras, including a moderation process for disagreements, tests for their experts (freelancers) to prove they do know what they are doing, and an escrow account so the experts have some guarantee of payment.

FreeTimeJobs.com Make your free-time more productive Do you have a few hours of spare time now, tonight, or this weekend? Thousands of small business owners need urgent help from people just like you. Click to view job listings. Matches subcontractors with companies who need them. Charges a yearly membership fee of $10 for subcontractor members and $10 per ad for employers. Many online jobs, but they post ads for everything from baby-sitters to high-tech, so many jobs are local to the employer.

Ants.com
Why not? They are growng fast - get in on the startup.

The fastest growing Freelance Marketplace today!
Matching subcontractors with companies who need them. Projects are posted on-site, and interested subcontractors post bids for the job. Free to the posting company, those members who win the bid pay 5% of the pay received to Ants.com as commission.
Members are not charged until the money is received, but must pay Ants.com in the same currency in which the money was received. Since you know the commission, you can add it into your bid, and most do. Has a fairly limited number of jobs (they did say fastest growing, not biggest). I've seen some very high-paying ones here. Unfortunately, not in my field :-(
U Barter
Let people bid on your services - sell logos, web pages, accounting services and so forth. I'll bet they never thought of this when they first set up the auction sites!! I didn't believe this or the next one when I found them, but people are auctioning their services on the online auction sites.
EBay.com
Let people bid on your services. Most of what I've found here is graphics and other services that are easily priced "per item". But still - they are there, and they are getting bids! After I found U Barter, I checked E Bay, and sure enough, here too. I haven't tried it, but I may!
Inforocket Answer questions, get cash! Mostly small jobs, but they have questions in every category, most won't take much time to answer if they are in your field, and the money could mount up pretty fast if you get a lot of bids. Allows your customers to rate you, so you better do a good job! Great for a bit of extra cash in the pocket.
