Freelancing - Genuine work at home opportunities.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

I have always thought that freelancing was a hit and miss approach to earning money online, until I came accross Getafreelancer.com.  All the freelancing site that I had visited previously were more geared towards those with IT skills and which I had no hope of getting.

This site offers genuine work at home opportunites for people with everyday and wide-ranging skills and there is plenty to choose from.

There are of course no guarantees. The site works on bidding. If you see a job that matches your skills and ability then you can place a bid. Once all bidding has finished the advertiser will chose which bid to go with.

Surviving Reduncancy - It’s not all bad

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Well, I am in a better position than most I suppose. I was on such a crappy salary that I couldn’t afford to live away from home. When I got made redundant a few months ago I decided that since I could afford to stay off work until after Christmas then that’s what I will do. Of course I won’t sit on my butt doing nothing, I have enrolled on a home study accountancy course while I wait for a new job. It should put me in a better position to find a better job once I start looking again.

I have set myself a little challenge. Now that I have time on my hands I am going to see how much money I can make between now and the end of the year by doing things that everyday folks can do. This will include article writing and the like. My profits so far - $3.91. Rock On!

Get paid to write articles.

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

I have found a site where you can get paid to write articles. You can write on any topic you wish, submit it and once it is published your account will be credited. Different topics have different pay rates ranging from $3 -4 dollars. There are also jobs you can take in the market place and the minimum cash-out is $25.

This is a better option for those who want a guaranteed fee for submitting their article rather than having to rely on the revenue from ad clicks. The site also encourages you to increase your publisher score for a quicker review.  The more articles you submit the higher your publisher score. Leaving comments on other articles also counts.

This is a relatively new site and does not seem as big as sites such as Helium. It does however pay you a small fee for your efforts. If you want to get paid to write articles head over to Informative Post and sign up. It’s free!

The Casualties of War

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Well, after the shock collapse of Lehman Brothers it would seem that nothing is safe in this financial war. It is not the big bosses that i’m worried about, its their minions - their secretaries, administrators, desk staff and the like - the soul blood of their business that suffer. They don’t get multi-million pound packages that will see them through Christmas and beyond, they may not even get the pay that they are owed. These people are the true casualties of this war.

I am also one of those casualties. I lost my job three weeks ago after working in my organization for two years. I wasn’t surprised. I worked as a legal assistant in a Conveyancing (residential property)  law firm. We all saw it coming and to be honest I was amazed that we had survived for so long. At least the firm didn’t collapse, its just a worrying time for the survivors as this time of year is traditionally quiet. I am in no doubt that there will be more job losses before the year is out. I was lucky it was a redundancy, they are usually up for yearly massacres!

My friend also lost her job last week after the collapse of XL. This is indiscriminate in the industries it targets. Mine was always a ticking time bomb, banking also; but travel?

So where from here? Well i’m using this time to recharge my batteries and enjoy the time off to concentrate on my Internet business and consider a new career path.  Law is not for me anymore, I have worked in too many law offices to realize that they are the most brutal employers you could ever work for. I am grateful for the years of experience but I have wised up to the way they operate. Accountancy seem the best way forward. I can run my own business once I have the basic knowledge. Now, I must stop being lazy and actually start applying for some jobs.
