  • Top 5 Sites for Freelancers and Buyers

    Top 5 Sites for Freelancers and Buyers

    Over the years doing some spare time job has been a very good way of financing  your education or buying a cup of coffee for your troubles, exploring the web for business exposure has become a second nature to most of us, so the need of having an avenue for such exposure becomes a must. Discover the secret of how I scaled through my limitation as a student/passionate blogger and earn quite handsomely through freelancing.

    As a student, I didn’t have so many options to earn online; most  ‘part time’ job I came across online are a whole bunch of scam, so I decided to ride my luck, viz.. Monetize my skills.

    Freelancing is the act of rendering a particular service to individuals or group of individuals as a ‘free man’ (not committed to any employer long term). This service may include article writing, web design, health solutions, graphic, SEO help or any skill you feel you can deliver online.

    If you a free man just like me: Self employed (student) and not committed to any employer long term, looking for where to showcase your products and services or you are just an individual/organization looking for where to acquire the product/services of an expert . Whichever you are here is the list of the top 5 of such sites.

    Top Five Sites For Business Exposures

    1. SEOClerks

    SeoClerks is probably the cheapest place to get any job done. Just recently, I purchased 1,000 US human visitors for just $2, the seller provided me with a google analytics url as a prove to confirm that they were real human. The delivery was quite on time and enjoy the level of interaction allowed between buyers and sellers on this site. The website functions are pretty much like fiverr’s but there is no limit for a range of prices charged for gigs. Sellers are either online, then you will get the work within 8 hours, or offline, then you will get the work in 48 hours. Release the cash and await the job. You are also given an option to place a guarantee on your gig and create discount coupon codes for gigs.

    2. Fiverr

    For the past few years fiverr gigs have represented an icon for freelancers. Though sites with more features has arisen, no-one has really surpassed the credibility and originality that fiverr has always boasted of. Dealings in fiverr are called gig i.e. 1gig = $5.

    3. Onedollarr

    Task in onedollarr is called gig and is best for buyers who want to acquire services at a very cheap rate.    Do not let the $1 fool you, as you can as well add extras to your gig without a specified amount.

    4. Gigbucks

      Sell or purchase products/services rate between $5-$50

    5. Fourerr

    Is always nice to some do something different and that’s exactly what fourerr has done. They have got a very good track record over the past two years and seems pretty much like the next big thing. I really recommend every freelancer try out this site and give your testimonies.

  • Legitimate Means of Making Money through Online Survey

    Legitimate Means of Making Money through Online Survey

    Making money online is now the order of the day. Online surveys are one of the easiest forms of market research through which you can earn fast cash. It is one of the most popular forms active today in the virtual world. This trend is encouraged by advertisers and manufacturers, who are in favor of such forms of marketing. Online surveys help manufacturers and advertisers to learn about the potential of products or services before introducing them in the market. Both survey takers and proprietors can earn big bucks. However, there is a strong amalgamation of both scam and legit survey sites. This balanced existence of fake and original content is making it difficult for users to find 100% authentic survey sites.

    Through my own experience, I have gained enough knowledge and expertise in deciphering a fake entity among legitimate ones.

    Here are few tips for survey takers to use when looking for legitimate websites:

    1. Search for websites that are the highest paying ones. You can check out survey review websites. Through them, you can get enough information and details about both new, as well as pre-existing survey websites. Through the acquired information, you can single out the fake ones and target only those websites that have got higher ratings for payouts from users.
    2. Scan the scams instantly. 60% of online survey sites are nothing but scams. Most users are entrapped in these scams because of promises and high dollar numbers. Therefore, it is important to take out enough time and get information about survey sites from reliable sources before joining any. Remember, if a site is asking for a fee payment or money and promising thousands of dollars over a payment of a small fee then think twice.
    3. Join numerous survey sites. There is no restriction or limitation. All you have to do is create accounts, provide the required information about yourself and then work from there. The surveys will match only with survey takers whom they find are suitable and appropriate. Therefore, signing up with multiple survey sites will only increase your chance of getting notified and accepted.
    4. Get a mixed bag of payout forms. If you need cash payouts then sign up on only cash paying survey websites. But it is always profitable to join both cash and reward point paying websites. Do not avoid sweepstakes oriented sites either. There are winning chances and occasional success opportunities in them too.
    5. Update your subscriptions. Survey sites offer work mostly to their consistent survey takers. This is because they are on the lookout for reliable users. So, if you refuse offers on a constant basis, you might lose out on opportunities or even get your accounts suspended. Therefore, make sure to update your account and profiles on all websites and take surveys in a periodical manner.

    Surveys are fun and not at all time consuming. You earn good cash without putting in much effort. Therefore, becoming a survey taker is surely a profitable deal all together!

  • 3 stressfree Things You Can Do From Home For Additional Income

    3 stressfree Things You Can Do From Home For Additional Income

    An essential ingredient in frugal living is spending less money. However, there is only so much you can cut from your budget before you can’t cut anymore — or you feel so restricted that it becomes difficult to maintain your situation. If you are looking to improve your cash flow, you can look for ways to add a little more income to your budget.

    Increasing your income doesn’t mean that you have to go out and find a part-time job, though. There are things you can do from home to make a little extra money. You may have to spend some time getting things started, but after a while, you might find that you can create a steady income from the comfort of your home.

    Freelancing on Fiverr and Upwork

    One of the most popular things you can do is freelance. You can freelance if you know how to write, if you are knowledgeable about graphic design, or if you know how to program. Technology has made it possible for you to provide your services to people all over the world. Many of my own clients have never even met me in person. Improving your marketable skills will be even more important now that you are taking in clients, and you need to be careful of scams and people who don’t pay you in a timely manner, but with a little perseverance, you can earn some money as a freelancer.

    Professional Blogging

    Another way to make a little extra money is to start your own web site. Think of something that you are passionate about, or that you are knowledgeable about. You can start a blog or web site quickly and fairly inexpensively. Post information that others find useful, and consider tweaking content to focus on certain keywords. You can even look for good information from other sites, and curate it in a way that attracts visitors. Content curation and creation are expected to really take off, and you can be involved.

    Monetizing your Blog

    Monetize your web site/blog with AdSense, as well as affiliate programs. Once you have an established following such as a site like MoneyNing.com, you can even begin offering advertising packages.

    If you know a lot about something, you can offer your services as a consultant. You can do PR and image consulting, or you can provide help as a SEO consultant or social media guru. It doesn’t even have to be online.

    Business Consultancy

    You can base a consulting business for communications, teamwork, survey design, green living or some other subject of interest out of your home. You may have to travel sometimes, though, so that can get difficult because of the time and money involved in doing so.

    Luckily for you, we have a ton of travel coupons to help you save a bit at least on the financial side of things.
