How to earn money from home?

Whether we like it or not, money is important to us, human beings. It is how we acquire even the most basic things we need in order to live. Some people say that the root of all evil is the lack of money and I totally agree with this. From the moment a human being is delivered into this world and is buried when he dies, money is needed. We need money to pay the doctor for prenatal visits and for the actual delivery of a baby. Doing so would ensure the safety of both the child and the mother. We also need money to honor people when they die and when we bury them.

To a few individuals, to talk about cash is still taboo. Money is one ofthose things that people are not supposed to talk about simply because it can be viewed as unethical or not worth discussing. But fact is, we require cash to survive in this world. School did not teach us much about money but in this article, I will share with you a few ideas on how to earn cash even if you require to be at home as a stay-at-home mom, a homebody or just someone who needs to earn more cash without having to quit your career.

Scam Behind Article Writing

If you browse craigslist everyday, there are a lot of offers in writing/editing section of every City/Country and if you are a newbie, you might get lured into these fake offers. The more you look for an opportunity where you can make small amount of money, the more you lose if you are not careful enough.

It easy to write if you are creative and I believe many of us can write a good and unique content. These scammers, not only stealing your money but also stealing your time. Here are some steps on how to beat them and play fair and square.

1 . Especially in payment, ask your customer to place at least $20 in scriptlance.com escrow. If they ask for an article sample, try to send a ready-made-article and do not write a special article for them. They will usually ask you to write at least 3 articles in different topics, mostly difficult topics. Do not do this and instead, refer them to this page so that their shame will be washed-up upon reading this. No customer could argue on this because this idea of scamming has been widely used for a couple of years now.

2. We are freelancers and we do not work on monthly or weekly basis. Payment is first and foremost thing that we need to consider so make sure the payment process is transparent. Never engage in any transaction that involves weekly , bi-weekly, or monthly payment system. You can only do this if there is a written contract between you and the customer, and if the customer is a well-known company.

3. Make sure you know who are you dealing with. Don’t let others steal your precious time buy not paying you your service.

Here is a warning posted an hour ago by fellow Filipino on craigslist. This is very common and typical.

To all Filipino writers,

Please be advised from answering posted jobs of ” Writer, Internet Marketing Writer, Blogger, Journalist, copywriter, SEO writer, article writer” you often find in this section.

Most of these posters are plain and simple scammers.

They will require you to send them a sample of your work. Then they will email you to write them 3 or 4 additional articles.

After that,they WILL NOT PAY YOU and you will no longer hear from them.

I’ve been a victim of such scam.

In addition, please don’t reply to posted writing jobs promising you $150 monthly. That’s preposterous. Usually, these posters come from other countries whose writer’s compensation is $25/ PER HOUR.

They have the guts to shamelessly demand 10 well-written articles a day for a measly &150/month?

Honest and legitimate companies that need writers pay an advance $50 as deposit fee. I know. I have around 5 companies that I submit articles and they gave advance payments of $50.

If an individual or a company refuse to give an advance payment, shun them.

On the average, a good writer can only write 3-well written articles. You should charge $18-$20 per article. That’s the writer’s fee nowadays.

Anything less than this is NOT ACCEPTABLE and a painful INSULT TO US AS WRITERS.

Tell them to post their jobs elsewhere and here in the Philippines.

From a concerned Filipina writer.

Again, make sure the customer has placed an advanced payment at scriptlance or getafreelancer.com escrow service (either site will work but scriptlance is more cheaper). Both of you must have an account at scriptlance (as a programmer and as a webmaster) and the cx must post a special project just for you. You will thn place your bid on that project and the customer must select you. This is then the time he/she can place an escrow payment for you and this payment cannot be touched unless you (as provider) would cancel it. Explain this to your customer that this is for the safety of both of you. If he/she will not agree on this process, then he/she is just planning to rip you off!
