Online Job

March 4, 2013
I have been bothered how many times people are often discouraged to do online marketing and business transactions. There are a lot of opportunities in the WEB. It is a matter of time and diligence to study these areas and do some research.  I will save you with the trouble of sleepless nights searching for the right website that could help you start earning online. This blog is catered to Filipino residents and may apply to other nationalities but since I am living in the Philippines the scope would only be limited to my locality. 

In online marketing, you don't have to complete a degree in computer science or computer engineering.  You just have to listen to what the new generation are doing and observe the trends in cyber space.  There are a lot of social medias that are up and it gets confusing especially those who are born where there where no cellphones yet and witness the transition from a simple family computer to the complex ps4 platform.  The most common is facebook , now then comes twitter , tumbler , etc... but these social media sites are not your own websites, what if you want to really create your own site... then you have to study some programming language that has a very long learning curve, and once you finally get it another programming language appears on the curriculum. . . But there is a shorter way to create your website.
I myself am a living testimony that all people can make their own site....

Using yola to create a website is not very hard to master.   All the interface are drag and drop and you can update it in realtime.  The templates can be customized and you can even upload banners.  If you want you can embed as much as you want the urls of youtube videos that you want to post. 

I have started Odesk since 2011, and a bit skeptic if I could really earn money from this website.
The first problem that I encountered with Odesk is the question on how do I receive the payment?
Second is how safe it is to transact inside Odesk.
 

Let me answer the first question, There are a lot of ways to accept payment. One is by payoneer, 2nd is by paypal, 3rd is by LFT. the best method is LFT or should I say Local Fund transfer.
But under local Fund transfer there is another issue to be resolved.... another question lies beneath this issue of transferring funds . There is what we call as remittance fees.  These remittance fees are the charges of the banks from receiving foreign currency and each bank has a different computation for these charges. Fortunately after days of research I discovered that BPI is the only bank in the Philippines that does not have remmitance fees from odesk.  So this addresses the first question on How to recieve payment, that which is to open a BPI DIRECT account . I will discuss on the details on the next blog on how to open up a BPI DIRECT account.

The answer to the second question " How safe is ODESK" It really depends. There are two types of contracts in ODESK. The first is the Hourly Rate and the 2nd is the Fixed Price Contract. 

Advantages of hourly rates. on the side of contractors
     Every working hour is monitored using odesk teamviewer ,  A screen shot is provided every 15 minutes  of working hours and the no. of keystrokes are also recorded and a graph or chart on the activity level within the working hours.  Some would abuse these by killing the time but remember the client has the power to file a dispute and usually odesk pays more attention to the clients side.

Advantages of Fixed price on the side of contractors
    You are free to choose the time frame and no. of hours to work and you are not strictly monitored by your client.  There is a risk if there is no upfront payment.  In my experience I always ask for 50 percent upfront payment. In my case I was lucky to have a good client who payed 100 dollars as upfront and It was my first successful odesk project where I gained 5 stars.
