The internet is a beautifully simple market place to
make money, and get paid for their services. We’ve compiled the five best
places for you to make money online, whether you want to start your own
business- or just make a little extra on the side. These sites are easy to use
and are uncomplicated.
Website 1: Elance
Elance is the internet’s biggest market place for
legitimate freelance work. And, its my personal favourite of all the websites
in this list.
It provides
simple interface that allows you to search for jobs in any kind of
niche. From Writing and Translation, to Web Design and Programming.
Basically, people post jobs they want doing on the
website, and you submit a proposal for it. It’s
that simple.
Regardless of how much money you want to make, the
possibilities are endless: there are freelancers on subscribed making $1,000 to
$100,000 a year.
Pros: Free service. Simple to use. Easy to manage
Tax Documents. Verified, trustworthy jobs.
Cons: Can be slow to become established. Bad Freelancers
willing to work to $1-$2 and hour.
Website 2: Fiverr
Fiverr is a long established freelance sit where everything
costs a $5 minimum. It’s a simple and easy to use website, where you post the
services you can provide: and if someone needs them, they’ll pay you to work.
It takes the traditional Freelance way of working
and turns it into its head. It also ensures you get paid before you complete any
work so that you never find yourself ripped off.
There is also scope to earn more than you $4 per job,
with different levels for different services, such as: early delivery dates,
extra work or ‘bolt--on’s for your services.
Pros: Protected payment before work. No marketing
required. Work is on your terms. Quick and Easy to set up.
Cons: Lots of competition for work. Hard to
establish a business. Have to do your own accountancy books. Not much scope to
build a solid income.
Website 3: oDesk
oDesk is somewhat of a sister company to eLance,
that helps freelancers find work in wide
range of areas. Out of the two sites, it’s down to your personal preference:
but the oDesk’s design and Payment tracker app set it apart from the
competition.
This is great
website to get started on as a beginner as the average prices for jobs is
lower, and its much easier to establish yourself as an up and coming
freelancer.
Pros: Goods design. Simple set up. Great for
beginners. Easy to use interface.
