Freelancing / Pay-Per-Project

Freelancing / Pay-Per-Project

You’ll recognize many of the sites below.  However, when I usually write about them, I’m referring to them as means of outsourcing.  In this case, I’m listing them as ways to make money online by being a provider of services.

1. Elance - I love Elance for outsourcing, and on the flip side, it could be a great way to make money online as a freelancer.
2. oDesk – Same as Elance, although many say that oDesk is the better choice for hiring programmers.
3. Microworkers – Make money by performing mini-tasks.  I wrote a review on Microworkers early last year.
4. Mechanical Turk - Owned by Amazon, this site is similar to Microworkers, but maybe a bit more sophisticated.
5. Fiverr – Make money online by offering virtually any service or mini-task…the catch is, you have to charge $5!
6. Just a Five – Very similar to Fiverr.
7. TenBux – Make money with gigs that cost either $5 or $10.
8. GigMe5 – I think you get the idea…
9. UpHype – Another gig site, with odd price points: $8, $16, or $24.
10. Dollar3 – A gig site with price point in multiples of $3, starting at $3.
11. Jobs for 10 – Take a guess at what this one’s about.
12. Fittytown – A little bit more upscale – all gigs are $50 each.
13. Demand Media – A great site for freelance writers, however you must be approved first (and I’ve heard they’re somewhat selective).  Once you’re accepted, however, you can earn up to $15+ per article, which can be quite lucrative if you’re a fast writer.
14. Constant Content – Another freelance writing site.
15. Associated Content – Earn up-front payments for articles and also get paid based on views (I’m told it’s a very small amount).
16. Break Studios – Freelance writing site similar to Demand Studios, though they pay less (up to $8/article), however the article length requirements can be shorter.
