<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">OnForce.com – they text jobs to your phone and, if you have smartphone, you surf to the web site, review the ticket and click ‘Accept.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">oDesk.com – You can work from Africa, India, US or anywhere. Basically, you list your skillsets, and they have clients that need someone to do a web site, or
setup a server, and then, if you match, you can bid on how much you would do the job for.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">One problem on oDesk is that the lowest bid usually wins, meaning that, if you charge $30 per hour to setup a Windows or Linux server, and someone else will
do it for $1 per hour, which person do you think they will choose? Usually, they will choose the lowest bid.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">OnForce is a good option for U.S., but a lot of their work involves “local / regional travel” – like you have to go to Home Depot and fix a credit card reader;
or go to someone’s house and rebuild a home computer; or go to Wal-Mart and replace a hard drive in one of the POS (Point of Sale) computers, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">When you setup your OnForce profile, you list your “base rate” (like $40 per hour) and you list how far you are willing to travel to work a task/project – I
think I listed 60 mile radius.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">BEFORE you get any tickets, you first are required to call back their phone number and make sure you get through a very brief interview, to make sure you are
really interested in their work and that you are qualified.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I am not even sure if they have anything setup in Africa/Asia/Europe – they may be US-only.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">OnForce.com and oDesk.com are the two main sites I’ve used and are pretty reputable. oDesk has some people who “troll” on there and try to get “free work” from
you, which is against oDesk policy. Both sites pay directly into your PayPal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Some other options are writing/technical writing sites, like Yahoo and eHow – you can get $15 per article; and sometimes more (I’ve gotten $25 for some articles);
and you get unlimited “performance hits,” when writing for most sites – meaning a certain number of $ per every 1,000 hits on each article.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Some other writing sites are Triond.com and Hubpages.com. Hubpages.com partners with Google AdSense and lets you integrate (and get paid for) Google Ads in
your articles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Anyway, those are some options I have found useful for “online [and off-line]” job money when I am in a slump or just need extra beer money (I don’t really
drink beer, but I’m okay with the “money” part).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
