HOW CAN I MAKE MONEY FROM ODESK?
How can I make money from oDesk?
You
can begin by signing up as an oDesk freelancer. Then take the oDesk
Readiness Test for Independent Contractors and Staffing Managers to
qualify for multiple job applications. Thereafter, take a couple oDesk
tests relevant to your skills set. oDesk offers hundreds of tests that
you can take to prove your skills and impress potential clients. And
don’t worry if you don’t perform well on a given test (there is an
option of making a given test score private and you can also re-take the
test after one month). Lastly, apply for as many jobs as your quota can
allow, accept interviews, get hired, and start making money.
For
hourly jobs, as long as you deliver as per job requirements and log on
to the oDesk team application only time spent working on the client’s
job, the client will be happy with your job. You not only make money but
also get positive feedback which translates into more jobs your way.
Your oDesk wallet gets credited every Monday at the end of the work week
and is available for withdrawal every Wednesday of the following week.
1.How to withdraw your oDesk earnings?
What
you get paid depends on what you negotiate for with the client. Other
factors that determine how much you get paid include but are not limited
to: total number of oDesk hours, your feedback score, services offered,
etc. The higher these are, the better pay you can negotiate for and the
more gigs that come your way. I personally use my 5-star oDesk rating
and 800+ oDesk hours to negotiate higher pay.
2. What if it turns out to be a work at home scam?
Trust
me on this one. It is not. You do not need to pay a dime to register on
the site or on your earnings. The client pays the service fee. The only
time you pay on the site is when you do a withdrawal and the withdrawal
fees vary with the method used. Most scam websites will charge you
exorbitant joining fees and promise you ridiculously unrealistic
earnings in split seconds.
3.How to spot a scam job on oDesk?
Whats in it for oDesk?
10%
of what the client pays you for a job completed. oDesk is a business
and one of its goal is to make money, so they take a cut, just like any
other internet business.
4. What if the site shuts down with my money?
Not
happening soon. oDesk has been around since the year 2003 and have one
of the highest up-times, except for occasional 30-minute site
maintenance windows (you can continue logging time during these periods)
which are always announced in advance. Funds earned roll over to an
escrow account (neither client nor freelancer can access the funds at
this point as money held in case a dispute arises) and are release the
Wednesday of the following week. After this period, freelancers can
withdraw their earnings at pleasure.
5. What about availability of jobs?
Completing
the oDesk readiness test entitles you to the ability to apply for 2
jobs at any one week period. Once you complete your profile 100%,
attempt and pass a few free oDesk skills tests and get oDesk verified,
you are entitled to about 25 jobs applications at any one time. This
changes a lot. The higher your oDesk feedback and hours worked, the
higher your chances of landing jobs, but there is a decent amount of
work, and its free to apply, so a slow week shouldn’t lead to despair.At
any one time on oDesk, there are tens of thousands of jobs.
Should
you have any more questions or need further clarification on any of the
issues raised above, just ask. Or post your feedback in the comments

If
you are currently looking for ways of making money online or extra
sources of cash then sign up to odesk and remember to sign up for a
Payoneer Debit prepaid MasterCard for withdrawing your earnings.
