Whenever I tell people to set aside 10% of their income for investing, I hear the same complaint, “I dont have enough money!”, for which I say have you considered picking up another job or two, to get more money? They follow up sayin, “I dont have enough time!”, for which I say “you do know people work from home right?” I personally do that, I have at home projects that I do as I eat, watch TV and chit chat on the phone! Part time job of 10hrs which makes me $1000+/month is a big deal for me considering I could have spent those 10hrs doing the same thing and not earning a dime! Plus the $1000+ only increases every month, and so I’m making $12,000-$20,000/yr to eat, watch TV and “waste” time at home. Thats all money I can reinvest and get a 400% return in a few years anyway.
So the main question is how do you know what to do, or what someone can pay you to do. I say what are you good at? If you are good at writing, well get them to pay you to write articles, or even transcribe audio. If you are great at yapping and talking, have them pay you to stay at home and be and at home research data collector (Westat pays about $9/hr for that)
If you are a super sports fan, there are people looking for folks to write sports articles. If you have a knack for writing superb cover letters and resumes, well guess what people are looking for folks to edit or write theirs! Take me for example, someone wants to pay me about $800 to write a journal article, doesnt sound like much till I tell you the journal articles take me about 3hrs to write! Thats being paid about $266/hr for me to type away from the comfort of my home, as I sip on my smoothie, and watch Grey’s Anatomy and 24!!!
There are a couple of places online to check out, but my all time favorite is Guru.com
It costs nothing to see the freelance jobs posted, but in order to bid, you need to have at least the basic membership which is about $74 or so for a quarterly period which is about 3months. Lets just say I paid that and made it back with my 1st job that I did. Quick tips that I have are
1) Always bid on lower end, some companies have long term jobs anyway so better to get a $40 every week than to bid $80 and get no job period!
2) Experiment and occasionally go for what folks appear to ignore, you are trying to build up credibility on Guru
3) When you apply, always give them an incentive to hire you, give them a teaser or sampler of what you can do. If they want someone to write an article or a book, tell them how you would approach it.
4) Always say that you are available immediately, and be available. I’ve had a company call me to see if I could get a job done in 3hrs, and since I was free and at home, I did it, even though the payout wasnt great, but the $50 filled up my gas tank anyway!
Thats all I can think about, I could go on and on, if anyone wants to know more, feel free to ask me specific questions.
