How to Profit from your Term and Research Papers



Now more people can profit from the term / research paper they spent so many sleepless nights on. With document databases such as oboulo, you can earn dollars by publishing your work. So even while you sit back and relax, you get the money to buy for things you want.

I'm an ambassador at Oboulo, which is a is a publicly authored, publicly accessible database covering a wide range of topics. Every instance you publish a paper, article, presentation or any document you have authored on this website, you will receive 50% net revenues on each sale.

After connecting to the site, you will be asked to enter an ambassador number. By entering 5ea66c, you'll receive additional 10% (Ten percent) revenues per sale.

So why wait till tomorrow when you can start earning now? Go to this website http://en.oboulo.com/private/subscribe to submit and publish your documents.

Don't forget to spread the news to all your friends!

Verify your Paypal with Payoneer



Paypal remains the cheapest way to withdraw your money from oDesk, Elance, Rentacoder, and other work-at-home engines.

But before you can use Paypal, you have to verify it with a credit or debit card. Those who don't have credit cards need not despair. When you register in oDesk or elance, you have the chance to get a Payoneer card for free- just have your driver's license or passport ready, and you'll get your Payoneer Card in 2 weeks maximum.

Once you start earning in your freelance internet job, you can withdraw to your Payoneer card. Don't withdraw your money yet, because you need to use about $2 (which will be refunded to you, by the way) to verify your Paypal account.

With you paypal account, you can enroll in various affiliate programs, from where you'll earn a few dollars just by working a little. Also, Paypal  is a lot cheaper than Payoneer when it comes to withdrawing your money to your ATM. It;s a lot wiser to have a Paypal account. Keep both (PAyoneerand Paypal) for good measure.

Happy freelancing!

The Step by Step Guide to Getting a Job in oDesk




We now go to a very important step:

Step 5. Apply for an oDesk Job

There are two ways to get a job on odesk: either you apply for one, or you get invited for an interview (the buyer invites you). If you're a newbie, no one's going to invite you. You have to look for a job you like and apply for it. Jobs could be fixed price or hourly, but  if you're a newbie, you'd have more chances landing a fixed price job than an hourly one.

a. On the menu, click "Find providers and jobs" then click "Find jobs".

b. A page containing the different categories of jobs will be displayed:


c. Click the job category that you like.

d. A list of jobs would appear. Select the job you like.

e. Click "Apply". Input your bid, your duration, a short cover letter. Since you're a newbie, lower your bid as much as possible. Many buyers are price conscious. Tailot-fit your cover letter to what the job requires. Make it as unique as possible and not a spam cover letter. If possible, attach a sample of your work. Buyers hire not only on price, but also on the quality of your cover letter and sample.

f. Check your inbox daily to see if any buyer wants to interview you or hire you.

g. The interview may be through email, where the provider will test your skills through your answer/s to their question/s. It could also be through Skype, so make sure you have a Skype address.

Additional tip: apply only for the jobs you can surely accomplish on time, because your life as a provider depends on the feedback. If you cannot accomplish the job on time, it will definitely reflect on your feedback.

Good luck!

The Step by Step Guide to Getting a Job in oDesk



The fourth step to this guide on how to get a job in oDesk is:

Step 4. Take Tests to Show your Abilities

You would have better chances of landing a job if you took at least one test in oDesk, aside from the oDesk Readiness Test. If you're new on oDesk, then it's highly advisable that you take the tests. They take 40 minutes or less if you're already an expert. There are various tests such in English, Marketing, Business, Finance and Accounting, and Information Technology.

a. If you want to apply as writer or editor of articles, then you have to get any of the English Tests.


b. Take the test. If you failed it, you can take it again in one month. If you passed, you could choose to publish the test result or to keep it private.
c. Take the oDesk Readiness Test. This would allow you to apply for 20 jobs. The more jobs you apply to, the more chances that you get one, right?

The step by step Guide to Getting a Job In oDesk

The third step to this guide on how to get a job in oDesk is:

Step 3. Fill Out your Profile

a. Go to your profile and click Provider Profile. At the bottom right corners of each box you will see the "edit" button. Click it.


b. Upload a picture. Fill out the profile with your education, portfolio, work experience, and skills.

c. The more information you upload, the better. I realized that you cannot apply for transcriptionist, IT, or designer jobs unless you populate your portfolio - because this is what buyers look for when they check your profile.

Step 2. Choose your Payment Method

This is the second serving of the step by step guide on how to get a job in oDesk: Choose your payment method.

This is another plus about working in oDesk – you get to have a debit Mastercard for free! Powered by Payoneer. The card looks like this:

You don’t have to submit bank statements or proof of billing – all you have to submit is either a copy of your valid driver’s license or a copy of your passport – to establish your identity.
a. First, go to "Payments" on oDesk's menus. If you have a Paypal account, then select the second option. If you don't have one, and also don't have a credit card, then click the first option, which is to apply for a Debit Mastercard - powered by Payoneer. You would be redirected to Payoneer and would have to register again. Just be sure that you type your correct name and address or else the card won’t reach you. It is advisable that your complete name in oDesk matches your complete name in the Debit Mastercard.
b. You would get an email, asking you to submit ID card. They would only accept one of two IDs, your passport or your driver's license. I submitted my scanned driver's license via email.
c. You would get your card in 2 weeks. Verify it in your Payoneer account by by typing your card number.
d. You're ready to get paid in oDesk!
