I thought it was time to do an update on a certain topic. I often encourage my clients and readers to get started with freelance job sites when first wanting to make money online. While sometimes you may end up earning a little less than what you would like, it gives you an idea of the types of jobs people need done and you can gain a little experience in order to demand those higher rates when you know what you are doing.

I started out writing for $3 an article. While some people may argue that you don’t need to work for such a little wage, often it is more beneficial to you to do so. If you look at it as a way to get paid training, you no longer think of it as getting ripped off for your time. If after a year, you are still willing to work for those low wages, then you’re just being dumb(unless of course you have no time to market and find higher paying jobs, have come to be dependent on what you do earn, and don’t mind the wage)

Recently I made the decision to cut back on my client work and just keep the higher paying clients. I wanted to branch out and spend some time submitting articles to sites that pay upfront and have an ad revenue sharing system in place. I also want to build up my hubpages and squidoo lenses again because you can earn from so many different ways with those once you get the traffic coming in.

Anyways, while I was getting all of this stuff together and deciding what sites I was going to go with, a new client of mine who was looking for ways to make money online asked me if there were any sites around that had a variety of stuff to complete. She said that she got bored very easily, also since she had little ones running around, she could not commit to jobs that would take hours or require quiet, or too much concentration. She still wanted to be able to offer her services and thought she had a few skills that would come in handy.

So, I got to thinking about it and I knew there were a few sites that I had joined in the past, but also knew that only those few sites would never allow her to make much of an income on their own. She needed a steady flow of jobs available, which meant numerous sites.

So, the hunt was on. I decided I would go looking for these sites, ask other work at home folks at forums and such if they had any luck, and see which sites stood out to be the best.

I have gathered together a list of the top 10 sites. Remember, some of these sites only pay like .30 a job that is 2 minutes long, while others will pay up to $10/hr. If you are looking for more than $10/hr I have heard of one site that offers that but forgot the link for it, so when I find it again, I will add it.

odesk, getafreelancer, elance, scriptlance, rentacoder, and other freelance sites are similar but you usually need to take on jobs that take a while to complete. Often times the pay works out to be like $2-$3/hr which does not work for North Americans and Europeans where the cost of living is higher than other places.

If you are trying to build up a full time income so you can quit your job and work from home, you will need to sign up to as many of these sites both the ones listed above and the ones I will post below. You must be willing to work as much as possible(even including the weekends) for the first year. People who think working at home means that they can earn huge dollars for less work than where they are at their offline jobs are often disappointed when they find out it can be even more work to stay at home. But the other benefits are what make up for it. You can set your own schedule, you can decide what kind of jobs you want to do, who you want to work with, and for what wage you are willing to do it all for. You can be there for your kids outings and concerts, you can spend time to do homework with them or anything else you want to do.

It can be done with time, dedication and a willingness to make life better for both you and your family.

Here are the links for the freelance micro job sites. With most of these sites, you can earn money for referring others to the site(although, I have not bothered to do that since I do not know how much time I will have to invest in this work with my other work going on) But that is another way you can make money from these sites. Some of them give you a bonus for signing up. Most let you get paid through Paypal when you reach $10-$20. Some are less, some are more. Even if you are not sure about things, take the time to check them all out, browse around to see what types of jobs are available and then decide. These types of sites are perfect for those who do not possess many skills, and who live in any country of the world.

I can hear it now….how many of these sites are out there where you spend your time reading emails, visiting sites, and now reading articles for only a few cents a day? Well, I just joined this program called IMCrew. They say you can join for free, and right now until they launch because they want so many people to join, they are giving everyone $2 for every free sign up they get!

After that, you will be able to read articles and share them with others and have the potential to earn $1275 a month. This I need to try out. While I am getting pretty successful with my writing career these days, I still like to spend the weekends looking for new programs that other moms can join to make money. Not everyone I know can write or wants to write for a living. Some moms, even if they wanted to write, just can’t due to too many demanding children or an invalid in their home who requires more of their time than would be available for a writing career.

But what if you could spend just a few minutes whenever you could throughout the day. Say you ended up being able to round up an hour or two a day broken up into segments, and still make some pretty good money. Would that help you out? Well, here is something I think you could get into.

First, sign up for this new program. Remember it is free, you can then promote your link on traffic exchanges, safelists, free classifieds, forum signatures, Facebook, Twitter or wherever you feel comfortable.

If you need my help or want me to help you build a squeeze page for the traffic exchanges, then leave a comment below and I will get back to you and see what we can come up with. All free of charge. I just want you to get making money so you will know it can be done.

So, back to the new program. Click on the link below and get signed up and then go get your affiliate link or if you need me to help you get the graphic and the link working together then give me a shout, I am working on doing up a how to on that tomorrow and posting it here or making it a pdf you can download, not sure the best way to do that yet…..

O.k. so once you are signed up for that, that will be an income stream for you. That shouldn’t take too much time out of your day. You, like I will have to see how it goes.

I want to mention another quick way you can make money that is kind of along these same lines. Now, I have mentioned PTC before but not sure if you all either know what it is or how it works.

PTC or Paid to Click is where you sign up for accounts on sites that have advertising from other marketers. You then get paid a penny or a few to click on emails, or links to sites and check out the site for 10-60 secs depending. Some of these sites only have like 5 links a day which can only be 5 cents a day. Many people do not see the sense in wasting their time. I wondered about it too. At one point in time when I was first checking this out a year or so ago, I was signed up to like 20 different sites and spending like 4 hours or so clicking for a mere $2 or $3 a day. How these sites work mostly, is by getting referrals under you. If you have 100 referrals all clicking each day and you get half of their pay each day, it can add up to quite a bit of money for the same time you spent clicking on your own ads.

The thing is that you need to market your affiliate links and get others to join you. This can be very time consuming and if you do not know how to make up web pages that have more than one affiliate link on it, it can be quite a pain to figure out how to divide your time so you can get enough everywhere. So….I decided to give up on all but 2 of the sites I was with. And here is why.

Neobux is a great site that allows you to buy your referrals for a month at a time. You can buy 3 referrals for .75 and then you just keep adding to it. Now, I hadn’t even thought about this idea until I came across this post by Strat. He explains fully how to go about a plan to make $20 a day for only a few minutes of your time and without ever having to pay out of your own pocket. Once I read it, I realized immediately how this was a good system and work my time to invest in. So, I have since sign up and am working my way through the system myself.

Now to some people $20 a day may not seem like much, but if you think that you are making that amount of money for a maximum of 30 minutes of your day, that is pretty good. To some people $20 a day(and we are talking 7 days a week with these types of systems), can make a real difference. I mean, sure you couldn’t raise a family in North America on that(maybe in other countries), but it could mean the difference between a good neighborhood for your kids or a not so good one.

So, go here to this site, read through the steps he has laid out, and get making money today. You can either sign up under his link as he says or come back here and click on my banner below. Up to you.
http://firstchoicelinks.ws/strat/ (be sure to click the back button on your browser if you want to come back here and give me credit. I may be able to give you some extra freebies later on that will help you make more money with traffic exchanges and such)

There you go, if you add these two systems that I have mentioned in this long post, you could be on your way to making hundreds if not thousands of dollars in about 6 months time!

It has been awhile since I talked about making money on eBay, so I thought I would bring the subject up
again. Let’s say you have your business set up now. You’ve picked out a good name and bought the domain.
You’ve signed up and registered all the info you needed for eBay. So, now what do you need to do next to
start making money on eBay?

It is advisable that when you first start out selling on eBay that you need to pick just one product and
learn everything you can about it. You need to become an expert with it so you can effectively learn to
advertise and sell them to the best you can. Once you are on a roll and making consistent money with that
one, you can apply what you found works the best to more products. There are many advertising and selling
techniques to be used online today. Some you will find work better with certain products over other ones.

The next section has some mixed ideas on the best methods of selling and making the best money from each
product. Some people think it is better to have multiple auctions going at once, that way, if something
doesn’t sell, chances are, something else will. Other people think it is best just to have one auction
at a time and then you can concentrate solely on getting the highest bid for that one item. If you are selling
$5 cds, you may want to have several auctions going in order to make some decent income.

As eBay becomes more popular every year, it is going to become more difficult to find quality unique products
that you can make a decent profit from. You can try going to Estate sales, taking an ad out in the paper
offering to take on consignment items for others who do not know how to sell on eBay, By taking a percentage
of the sale, this enables others to make money and still get their stuff sold by someone who knows what
they are doing. You may want to find out if there are any city or state laws that require you to obtain
a license as an auctioneer in your town if you plan to do this on a large scale.

You could use a dropshipping company. This is a company that allows you to sell their products at a retail
price while you only have to pay them a wholesale price. You may find other sellers who have bulk orders
of something and are willing to sell the products to you at a wholesale price as well. You can go to fleamarkets
liquidation stores, bulk barns, and garage sales in your neighborhood. What you may find over in your country
readily may not be available in someone else’s, thus making it a popular sought after item.

A few quick tips for making the best of your selling experience on eBay:
1. NEVER sell counterfeit or fake items on eBay, not only can you risk losing your account, you could
be sued or blacklisted.
2. Do not let your friends or relatives bid against others bidders on your auctions in an attempt to drive
the price up. This is known as shilling and is illegal. Not only will you be shut down and banned from
eBay, you could also face criminal charges.

To get the most from your selling on eBay, you will want to promote your auctions. You can do this by
creating a personal web page to promote your eBay auctions, you could run an online store that links back
to your auctions, or any numerous ways you may find. This gives you a more professional appearance online
and helps your customers get a better feel for who you are.

Finally the number one way to build your eBay business bigger and start bringing in more money is by
building up a mailing list. If you send out emails to your subscribers on a regular basis, they will be
able to know right away when you have a deal or new auction going on.

I know I have written on the topic before, but as a writer myself I know the value of finding as many job leads and sites to apply to for making the maximum amount of money from. As far as I can see, you can never have enough leads for making money doing what you love.

So, here are a few more links to lists that I found helpful. I hope you do too.

You may find that some of these links have duplicate sites listed, I just posted them anyways because there was at least one or two new leads on each page. Ask around to any other writers you know where they find they make the best money. Join forums where there are other work at home parents making money writing and see what they recommend. http://wahm.com
is one of the best forums for that. You will also find folders for other ways to make money in case you would like to take a break from writing(which I occaisionally like to do). Keep on writing!

Although I am a virtual assistant by trade, which typically for me means I dabble in everything and specialize in ecommerce setup and writing.

I recently joined a forum for all VAs. At first I was thinking against it because I thought I would be competing with all of them. It turns out it is the perfect place to be. They are all excellent,friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Not everyone specializes in the same things, and even though we all may have websites online,we all live in different places and have different methods of marketing both online and off.

Anyways, I realized that there were a lot of new beginners looking for bookkeeping work. I almost forgot about bookkeeping. I used to be one way back in 1997 but have barely balanced anything but my cheque book since.

I decided to go on a little google hunt for places to find freelance bookkeeping jobs or even agencies looking to hire. Here are a few I have looked into and seem to be pretty solid.

As always, don’t just take my word for things, do your own checking for scams and if they have a forum, or anywhere else you can ask people if they have any experience with them. You can look them up in the Better Business Bureau. But usually, I try to find ones that have passed and are checked for scams.

Here are the links. You should be able to find something here to get you started making money if you need an income and are not ready to branch out on your own quite yet.

I have had a hard time finding a lot of Canadian jobs, so you may find there are a lot of Canadian picks on this page. I tried to get enough sites to offer at least one lead for the popular countries available. Hope this helps.

When I was going through my bookmarks the other day, I realized I had so many that they were getting impossible to organize and keep track of. So I have decided to list them all in separate pages for you all to take a look through and see if you can’t find something useful to use as well.

These links were all the places that you could make money as a writer. Some of them are like Hubpages where you make money by posting articles with a share of the sites revenues and the adsense made from people reading your articles. Sometime that can be like 5 cents a day, other times it can mean hundreds or a thousand a month. It all depends on what you write and how many others like it enough to read and pass along.

I use a few of these links and get paid per article written. I have not really spent much time on the sites that pay per article as some of them are geared to only Americans(which I am a Canadian), so I went with where I ended up getting work and making money. I will also list the freelance job sites that pay ok and where I have made money.

Good luck! Have fun! Enjoy the freedom of working from home.

Do you like to participate in making things such as jewellery or crafts? Many people have been afraid to sign up to some of the programs available online due to the fact that they are so strict with their guidelines and submitting things. You end up paying for supplies and never end up getting any products you create bought back again so you can never even make back your investment let alone a profit.

There is one company that is good and not so strict. If you do like putting together jewellery type things, this business is something you may want to check into.
