Who does not wish that they had little extra money around. Whether it's to save for the future or be able to buy something that you've been wanting it can sometimes be great to have that little extra money, especially if you do not have to get another job to do. It is especially nice if you can do them whenever you want, if you have a few free hours here and there. Here are 4 ways you can do just that. Earn some extra money as you need it, without having to accept a plan, you must change your life around, or something. These are all things you can do as you want and make money whenever you want.
1. Write articles. An article that does not take so long to write. They are usually only 400-600 words, and if you like to write, should not be much of a chord. Surprisingly, you can earn money just by writing articles (and I'm not trying to sell a product in the article and hope that someone buys it.) There are websites out there (like Associated Content) that will actually pay you for your articles. You can also visit a freelance site like Guru.com or eLance.com, and look for people who are interested in people to write articles for them. You will be surprised how easy it is to find and how quickly you will be able to write articles and get paid for them.
2. Freelancing. Speeches on Guru.com and eLance.com, there are many websites out there where people are looking for others with all types of skills. If you are a programmer, writer, designer, photographer, artist, etc. .. You should go on the website and find something you can do and hope that you enjoy doing. You can choose a short project, so it will not take you very long to get it done, and you'll have to earn some extra money on the side. It is great because you can earn money as you need it and not get another job to do it. Plus, you can just take the projects you are interested in, so you can enjoy what you do.
3. Mystery Shop. You can choose to mystery shop for restaurants, hotels, amusement parks and your favorite clothing store, and much more. The only negative to this is you usually have to put money first and then get reimbursed later. The good thing is that you sometimes end up getting things for free, as a good meal or a free stay at a hotel. You can sign up for these, as you are interested, so it's great when you need a little money, or a night out.
4. Do something. Are you really good at knitting or crocheting? Maybe you know how to make beautiful necklaces and bracelets that others are always interested in? Well if you're creative, you should consider selling these types of items. You can use a site like eBay or Etsy, so you do not even have to leave the house. You can just put points up, as you finish them and make some extra money that way.
These are only 4 ways you can make money online starting today. As you can see, these are things you can do as you have time and you are looking for some extra cash. Most of these are fun as well, so it will not even seem like work.
There are many ways you can earn some extra money on the internet when you need it. Here are 7 more ways you can make money online, this week.
Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder. Rentacoder provides access to programming, writing, illustration, even podcasting jobs. (You can get a sense of the broad scope of work available here: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/SoftwareCoders/BrowseWork.asp).
ReplyDeleteI'd like to point out a few issues with using services like Elance and Guru since those issues could influence your satisfaction and earnings.
Fees:
Workers on Elance cannot place more than 3 bids a month unless they pay a subscription fee ($9.95/month for 20, $19.94/month for 40 or $39.95/month for 60). The majority of sites do not charge subscription fees.
Guru charges 10% in fees (5% if you pay for upgraded membership). In addition, Guru also charges $29.95/quarter - $129.95/quarter in fees. Plus workers on Guru are charged a 2% fee for arbitration. They are also charged 2.5% if the buyer uses Pay Pal, or charged up to 4% if the buyer uses a credit card.
Rent a Coder does not have any subscription fees or any other types of hidden fees. Our project fees are as low as 6% and we guarantee all types of unlimited work.
Escrow/Guarantee of Payment:
With pay-for-time type projects, Guru doesn't allow you to verify your time on pay-for-time projects by punching in and out of a real-time system, and conclusively prove to the buyer that you were working. As a result they do not guarantee payment, and if the buyer does not wish to pay you, you may end up with no money.
Rent a Coder allows you to verify your time spent on a project by punching in and out of a real-time card application which records your desktop and webcam. The end result is indisputable proof that you've worked and deserve payment.
Arbitration:
Elance charges $66.66 or $133.33 for each arbitration, which may make it too expensive to be a legitimate option on your project. In addition, a buyer intent on abusing the system can stall the start of arbitration on Elance for 21 business days and during this period your money is not available to you. You also won't find any detailed rules on how Elance arbitrators make their decisions.
Guru's mandatory pre-arbitration processes allow an abusive buyer to stall the start of arbitration (and prevent you from accessing your money) for weeks. For example, Guru allows buyers up to 20 days in mandatory mediation before the site will force them into arbitration. You also won't find any detailed rules on how Guru arbitrators make their decisions.
At Rentacoder, we offer arbitration on all projects free of charge and we test your deliverables to make sure they meet requirements so that you can get paid. We also prevent abusive buyers from stalling the start of arbitration. As a result, 45% of our arbitrations are completed under a day. 75% under a week. We additionally publicize the detailed rules of how our arbitrators make their decisions.
There are other differences as well. I invite everyone to compare the 7 major services through this link to learn even more: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/DotNet/misc/CompetitorInformation/WhyRentACoder_ForSellers.aspx
