Earn Money Online Doing Free Online Jobs Like Data Entry, Copywriting etc
Do You Want To Earn Money Online Without Investing Anything And Without Paying Any FEE?
Do you want to make $3000+ per month easily? Via doing simple and free online jobs like copywriting, data entry, simple typing, online form filling, programming, SEO and many other jobs?
If yes, then carry on and read this freelance tutorial. In this tutorial [guide], you will learn the easiest and 100% legitimate way to earn lot of cash on the internet.
Note: To get the mentioned jobs, you will never pay any money from your own pocket EVER.
Working at freelance sites is the best/easiest way to earn legitimate money on the internet. You are your own Boss and you will work, whenever you want to.
Let's cut to the chase and come straight to the point.
How much can you earn via doing these online jobs?
Well, I am earning $3000+ per month, and I do copywriting and data entry jobs at below mentioned freelance websites. I prefer only copywriting jobs, as the pay is very good [when compared to data entry jobs].
Data entry is a good option to choice if you cannot do any other job. Different jobs require us to have different kinds of skill. Like to do programming jobs, one needs to have skills of doing coding work in different kinds of languages like PHP, ASP, .NET etc.
But if a person has no skill in any other field, then he can do data entry jobs: as this work requires no Skill or Experience of any kind. If you can operate a PC then you can do data entry work.
This work does pay less compared to copywriting and other jobs: but one can still earn some decent amount of cash doing data entry work.
Here is a list of freelancing websites. I personally work only at two freelance sites which are mentioned in the below list.
Note: Please open these freelance sites in separate windows and carry on reading this tutorial [guide]. You need to know many things about these freelance sites. This guide is a complete freelance tutorial.
1. Getafreelancer (GAF) [100% Free To Join]
2. Scriptlance (SL) [For The Option "Account Type"; Choose "Programmer" NOT "Buyer"] [100% Free To Join]
3. Elance
4. Getacoder
5. EuFreelance
6. Freelancer UK [Please Note: In order to control spam registrations, this site [Freelancer UK] has discontinued free registration. This site is no longer free to join: They now charge £1 for the registration: If you are only interested in free to join sites, then you can register at above listed sites: Registration there is 100% FREE]
Working at freelance sites is the best option for home staying Moms to make money online at home. Stay at home with the children and make cash on the internet via doing simple freelance jobs.
Two freelance sites [GAF and SL], which are mentioned in the above list: these two sites have a great freelance market. Hundreds of online jobs are posted at these two freelance sites, every day.
Is it free to join both GAF and SL?
Well yes, its 100% free to join both these sites. But there are some differences between these two websites. I will explain these differences later in this guide and I will also explain the difference between data entry and copywriting jobs. (Will talk about it later).
To make money at freelance sites, you need to invest some time. You will not invest any money. The only thing that you will be investing is some of Your Time.
If you want to make a living online, then you will have to spend 8 or more hours at freelance sites to make a decent living.
On the other hand, if you want to earn some extra cash on the internet via doing part time onlinejobs, then you can do work whenever you have some spare time. You can work for few hours on the weekends or you can work for an hour or so on business days [ after the full time day job is over].
In the beginning of anyone's freelance career, the goal is to win the first freelance project.
Truth/Reality: it is very difficult [but not impossible] to get [or win] the very first freelance project.
Let’s talk about the first freelance site, which is Getafreelancer or GAF [please note that Getafreelancer has changed their name to just Freelancer: however, in this article, I will still be calling them GAF : )].
The very first thing to do is to get register at GAF. Registration process is very simple. Within few minutes, you will get an active account at GAF.
REMEMBER to enter professional looking information in all fields of the profile; people [most of them] will see your profile, before they decide to give you any work. So make a decent looking profile.
[Update: GAF has changed the rules and now, we can only place bids on jobs that are posted in the categories which we will select in our profile/qualifications. So, in your profile under the heading “Qualifications”, choose all the categories in which you are interested.
For example: if you have selected the data entry category in your profile and have not selected the copywriting category, then you will only be able to bid on data entry projects.
Don’t worry: you can change/edit your profile/qualifications at anytime but you should know that there are limited numbers of categories that we can choose under our qualifications and there are limited numbers of times, in each month, when we can edit our qualifications.]
After you create a profile, open GAF home page and scroll down, until you see a heading called “The 50 Newest projects”.
[At freelance sites, jobs and projects mean the same. Getting a job and winning a project means the same].
Here you will see a list of newest opened projects that you can win.
Recommendation: if you are not a programmer or expert in any field then you should do data entry or may be copywriting jobs. For copywriting jobs, you will need to write content in English language. This content needs to have no or very few grammatical mistakes and absolutely no spelling errors.
Look for jobs under the “The 50 Newest projects” section. Open/click on the project which you think you are capable of doing/completing.
After you open the project description page, you should first read the description of the project. Make sure that you can complete the described work.
Important: You have to make sure that you can complete the work. You have to be 100% sure about it. In order to earn money online at freelance sites, you need to earn excellent ratings: and in case you fail to complete a project, then you will get a bad rating. One bad rating can pretty much end the freelance career for a new comer.
Now click on “Place a Bid” icon and then enter the lowest amount of [available] money in the bid.
WHAT, the lowest price? Why?
Well, what do you expect : ) ?
You are new at the freelance site. So you have to do work for the lowest price.
How can you get a project for higher rates, when there are many other people applying for the same project, who have high ratings?
Importance Of Ratings/Feedbacks
All freelance sites have a rating/feedback system. When a person completes a job, he/she then gets a rating/feedback. The more jobs a person do, the more ratings/feedbacks he/she will get.
The more ratings/feedbacks a person have, the more money he/she will earn at freelance sites.
Ratings/feedbacks are part of freelancer’s reputation at a particular freelance site. You are a new user and you don’t have any ratings: so, go for the lowest price.
The more good ratings you have, the more jobs will you get.
Importance of Communication With Buyers
Communication with buyers is the most important part of freelancing. You have to send a private message to the buyer as soon as you place a bid. Without proper communication with the buyers, chances of winning a project are almost zero.
After you place a bid, go back to the project description page and look for a small icon called PM [Inbox] (Private Message) [Label of this icon has been changed from PM to Inbox].
Remember: Sending PM is the key factor in wining a project
Now click on the small PM icon, and send a message to the creator of the project and tell him that you are new but you can do an excellent job and that you will do it for the lowest price that he wants to pay for that project.
ALWAYS, remember to send a PM to the creator of the project, after you place your bid.
[People who create projects at freelance sites or the people who outsource jobs at freelance sites, are called buyers]
After you send the PM, wait for the buyer's response. If you get a reply, then there is a good chance of winning that project. Freelance career of a person only starts when he or she wins his/her first project.
After getting a reply from a buyer, open the PM to see what the buyer replied and act accordingly.
Few things to Remember:
First of all: you can place bids on 15 [Please note that this limit is changed to 30] projects/month at GAF. In contrast to the second website [SL] where you can place bids on as many projects as you want to.
At GAF, if you become a GM [gold member], you can then place bids on 160+ projects. I suggest you upgrade to gold membership as soon as you earn $12 at GAF [Edit: You now have to earn little more money, as the Gold Membership fee has been increased].
Here are few advantages of gold membership.
There will be no project fees. For example: if you win a project worth $100 and you are a GM, then you will get all $100 after you complete the project.
But if you are not a GM, then you will have to pay a fee (10% of total project budget) to GAF.
What? I have to pay any FEE?
You do not have to pay anything from your pocket. After you will complete a job at GAF, the buyer will pay you. You will get this money in your GAF account.
If you are not a GM, then you will see 10% money being deducted from your account.
See? You did not pay any fee from your pocket. You only got little less money for the work you did. It’s like a commission that GAF takes from non gold members.
GAF take this fee only from non-gold members.
GM pay just the monthly gold membership fee and they pay no other fee. [Edit: GAF has made lot of changes in their site. One of these chances is that: now GMs will also pay a small fee. Currently it is 3%: but it may change in the future]
Let’s take an example where I won a project worth $100. After I complete the work, the buyer pays me. Now if I am a GM, then I will see $100 [$97] in my GAF account. On the other hand, if I am not a GM, then I will see $90.
What is the cost of upgrading to gold membership?
It costs $12 [This fee is now changed to $19.95] per month to become GM.
I will suggest that you first earn some cash at GAF as a non-gold member and then you use that earned money to pay $12 [$19.95], from your GAF account, to become GM.
Be Safe And Follow The Rules
Remember to NEVER send any contact information to buyers via PM. Contact information includes email, phone number etc. In case you will send any contact information in PM then your online freelance career will be over for sure.
GAF and all other freelance sites will terminate/suspend the account if they find any contact info in PM.
Few Important Tips
At GAF, don’t click on “Message Board” to communicate with buyers. You have to find “PM” icon, look for it below or in-front of buyer's username.
Don’t open any other page at GAF (other than the home page) to see the latest data entry, copywriting etc jobs. This is because; it’s really hard to get/win old projects and on the home page, you will only see new ones.
Keep the home page opened and scroll down to the “The 50 Newest Projects” heading section and keep refreshing at this position to become the first one to catch the newly posted projects.
The only hope for new comers to get a job is to catch the newly posted projects. If you are the first person to place a bid on a project, then the chances of winning that project increases significantly.
What are the payment options available at Freelance Sites?
There are many payment options available at freelance sites.
You can use different payment processors to get the money that you will earn at freelance sites: you can select Paypal or MoneyBookers [MB]. Other payment options are not as cheap and safe as these two.
If you live in a country where Paypal is not supported then you can use MoneyBookers to transfer money to your bank account. It’s cheap and safe way to transfer money from freelance sites to your bank account.
It’s not difficult to create a account at moneybookers, but adding bank accounts can [sometimes] create problems. Once you verify the address/name and add a bank account; you will then receive your money with just one click.
After you create a account at Money Bookers: go to the Profile page and click on "address" in order to verify it. You need to verify your postal address before you can start using MB.
I made the mistake of not verifying my address at the time of creating my MB account. After I transferred my money from GAF to MB, I tried to withdraw the money from MB to my bank account.
Unfortunately, it was then, I found about address verification. I got my money 40 days late because of this small mistake of not verifying my postal address when I first created my MB account.
Anyway, after you click on the verify Postal address button, moneybookers will send a letter to your postal address which will contain a code. Use this code to verify the account.
After address verification, you have to enter your bank account information.
You will first transfer your money from freelance sites to your MB account and then you will transfer this money from MB to your own bank account. The whole process can take up to 14 days.
The real problem is that, you can’t use [just] any bank accounts with moneybookers. You will need to have an account in a bank which is directly connected to SWIFT Network.
How to find out if a bank is connected to the SWIFT network or not?
The easiest way to find out whether your bank is connected to SWIFT or not, is to you call your bank and ask them to give you their Swift Code.
If they have a SWIFT code, then go to your MoneyBookers account and try to enter your bank account information. In case MB fails to accept your Bank account information: then it will mean that your bank is indirectly connected to SWIFT network (Not a good news).
If your bank account is not directly connected to SWIFT network, then go to SWIFT Directory and try to search for a bank in your city, which is directly connected to the SWIFT Network and which is nearest to where you live.
After that, you will have to go to that bank to create a new bank account. After you create a new bank account, enter its information in your profile at MB.
First you will request the freelancing site(s) to transfer the money to your MB account, then you will request MB to send this amount to your bank account. After few days, you will finally receive your cash in your bank account.
[Update: I recently tried to withdraw money from MB and I got a message to verify my Name too. For that, MB sent $15 to my bank account. I then went to my bank and got a SWIFT copy of that $15 transaction. I scanned that document and sent it to MB via their website. MB then verified my Name/Account within 24 hours. So you may also get this Name verification message at MB]
I do not know much about Paypal as it is not yet supported in my country. If you live in Pakistan, Nigeria etc [where Paypal is not yet supported], then you will have to use MB to get your money from freelance sites.
Paypal and Moneybookers have made it easier for people doing jobs at freelancing sites to receive their money.
Difference Between Copywriting and Data Entry Jobs
If you can write proper English [English without spelling and grammatical mistakes], then you should do copywriting jobs. And in case your English writing skills are not very impressive, then you can do data entry work.
Remember: there is a big difference between copywriting and data entry. Copywriting jobs pay much more than what data entry jobs pay.
So, if you cannot write proper English and still want to do writing work, then you should first try to improve your English writing skills.
Some Final Words
This opportunity enables you to earn legit money online without worrying about scams. Free online jobs means that you will never invest any money from your own pocket. This means that you simply cannot lose any money. So you should never get worry about scams while doing online jobs at the sites which I have mentioned in this guide.
Best Of Luck…
Before ending this guide, let’s talk a little about the second freelance site: which is SL.
At SL, if you win a project worth $100, you then get $95 in your SL account: because the site charges a fee of 5% [this fee percentage may change in future]. It’s a fair deal. There is no gold membership at SL.
You can bid on as many projects, as you want to. And there is no PM icon at SL.
At SL, you will have to click on “Message Board” and then you will click on Post Message: in order to communicate with the buyer.
All other things are the same as GAF.
I hope all the above information will help you start working at freelance sites.
Thanks to freelance sites, people can now make a decent living online while they stay at home.
That is all for the basic freelance introduction. Explore this site if you want to know more about freelance sites. In this site you will find lot of useful information.

John :
Hi
Please help and thanks for the above guidance.
I have completed 2 projects at GAF, now, do I upgrade to Gold member?
If yes, then why?
admin:
Yes sure. Upgrade to gold member [GM].
BENEFITS
First, you will be able to bid on more than 160 projects, non gold members can only bid on 15 [30] or so projects.
Secondly, GetaFreelancer will not charge any projects fees if you are a GM. Which means that, you can win as many projects as you can and gaf will not charge any thing. [Note: GMs now have to pay %3 fee instead of %10 that non GMs pay]
Amar :
Sir, please help me.
I tried for 20 days, and still I havnt got a single project, what should I do?
I really need money, please help.
I will be waiting for your reply thank you
admin:
I understand your problem. Its really hard to get your first project. But you have to wait and give as much time to these sites as you can. Always send PM to buyers, and always bid for the lowest amount.
You should write something like this in PM "What is the minimum amount that you are willing to pay for this project? What ever it is, I am willing to do the whole project for that amount and I will do an excellent work".
Always look for the newewst opened projects, and when you see one, bid at once.
If possible, send few samples of your previous work to the buyer.
nancy :
hello there
my name is nancy patterson and I live in newyork. I have one question.
What is keyword density? and keyword article writing.
regards
admin:
KEYWORD Density= Number of time a word appears in the article.
For example: if you write a article about data entry, then for how many times should data entry appear in the article. There are free online tools to check keyword density.
keyword article writing= writing an article for a specific topic. For example, you will be given a topic and you need to write a general article. If some one ask you to write article on "Computers", then just write a simple grammar errors free article. If you are given an keyword, u need to write an article on that keyword, and also use that keyword in your article few times or use according to the requirements.
Rizwan :
I live in pakistan and I am looking to do Work at Home so I think working at freelancing sites is my best option.
I just wanted to ask one thing, which site from the above 2 should I choose?
I only want to work at one site so which one is better. I want to concentrate on one site thanks : )
admin:
Both sites are good. You can choose any. But for GAF, its hard to get your first project because you can only bid on appro 15 projects, in contrast to other site where there is no gold membership and everyone is treated the same way. You can bid on as many projects as you want at scriptlance.
Anyway, I will suggest that you try both at first, and when you win project at any one of them, you then continue working at that site.
Maria :
What kind of Job can we do at these sites.
My name is maria and I am 22, I have done Bachelors in computer engineering.
What kind of free online job do you suggest for me? I tried to find some engineering jobs but I think there are not much of them. and the jobs that are engineering based, they are very difficult because there are variety of subjects in engineering.
SO please help and suggest any Job for me.
admin:
In my opinion you shouldn't look for any hardware projects as they can't be done remotely (in most cases). People have to deleiver all the hardware for such projects making it impossible for many people.
Any way, you can do data entry jobs at these sites,
You can also do copywriting jobs, for which you will earn very good money.
Data entry includes easy things like typing, online form filling, etc jobs.
Contact me again if you still need more help.
TOM :
Hello there and thank you for helping other people : )
I have some questions which I want to ask regarding freelance sites.
I am a programmer and I can build software and website using different languages like PHP, ASP, and Flash. I also am expert in SQL and MYSQL databases. So, are these sites the correct place for me to do work online and earn money online ?
Will I find some decent paying onlinejobs at these 2 freelancing sites?
I have build hundreds of websites for many clients. I run a small software house in my town and I am earning quite good money but its not enough and I want to do work at freelance sites too. I found this page on a search engine and I am quite happy that I found it actually : )
But I think the only problem with me is that I am a little scared about the fact that all the work involve dealing with remote people, or like communicating with virtual people on the net : )
So, is it safe to do work at these sites? Am I going to be paid?
Of course, I am not saying that these sites are a scam, but I just wanted to know how much risk is involved in doing projects at these two freelancing websites.
Thank you again for your great help; I will wait for your reply.
Regards
admin:
You used "?" many times in your post : ) but what I think the real question is; how safe it is to do work at these sites and what is the percentage of risk involved, Right?
Well Tom, one thing is for sure, working at these 2 freelancing sites is 100 percent SCAM free. People are making hundreds of dollars via working at GAF and Scriptlance. Its 100 free to join both sites right? So is there any point of SCAM involved when these sites dont charge a single cent to start earning money? Actually, scriptlance will give you $1, when you signup : )
Never worry about a SCAM, because you will never pay a single cent from your own pocket. All you need to do is invest your time. Working at these sites is 100% FREE.
Just do a small job worth $30. Then request a withdrawal, after you receiving your money, you will be satisfied regarding the SCAM fear, and then start doing work at these sites with no fear to get Scammed : )
You will make money online without investing any cash EVER.
Now, here is a very important point that I would like to tell all people which I think I missed in the above Guide.
I lost quite some money at GAF, it had nothing to do with GAF. Actually, there are good people and bad people in this world. So some times, you encounter some really bad people.
Here is what BAD thing can happen to anyone at GAF.
When you win any project at GAF, the buyer, will give you all the details about the job. After that you start and finish the work. You then send the completed work to the buyer. The buyer then check the work and after that he pays you in case you did the work correctly (hope fully you will). WAIT, where is the bad thing involved that I was talking about? Well in the last part where you deliver the work, what if you did a excellent and accurate work but the buyer dont pay you? What will you do? Contact GAF? Unfortunately, GAF will do nothing about it. Yes, its true. So what to do in order to be paid for the work you do?
ALWAYS remember to ask the buyer to escrow the funds. What is Escrow? Well ESCROW, means that the buyer put the money that he has to pay you in GAF account. This money will be safe in GAF account.
You can earn money doing legit online jobs at freelance sites without getting scammed if you use Escrow.
But if you don't have any ratings, then I suggest you first build some reputation before demanding Escrow.
Escrow is a safe way to make sure you will be paid.
Also, Tom, you can find many projects like, website development, PHP and MYSQL work, software development, ASP and .NET work, website testing and verifying, etc.
Please Note: The above comment was posted quite a while ago. At that time, buyers could easily scam service providers as there was no arbitration system at GAF. Just few weeks back, GAF has started an arbitration system which protects users from getting scammed. But still, you need to use Escrow if you want to use the arbitration system in case something goes wrong. Before this arbitration system was introduced, GAF used to not resolve any issues that rise between buyers and service providers.
Saman :
Hi….. Can I do typing Jobs at these sites? If yes then how much will I be paid for such work? Thanks
admin:
Yes, you can do typing Jobs at these sites. You just need a computer and an internet connection and thats it.
BUT how much will you earn? it all depends on yourself. What is your typing speed and for how much time, can you do such work?
It all depends on you, the more work you do, the more you will earn. But I will give you some idea. When I started working at these sites, I first did $1 per hour job, only to earn a feedback (review). Then gradually, rates increased. I will tell you some thing but promise to believe it :). You can normally find work for $5 to $10 per hour but sometimes you just hit Jackpot. There was a project, where the buyer wanted me to just copy 10 already written articles from his one site and remove some word from them and then I had to copy then to 10 different files with .xasp extension. He could do it himself, but the only thing that he didnt knew was a little bit of Programming. I did this work in about 40 minutes and I earned $110… Isnt it just great :)?
Best of Luck to all people.
Adnan :
My name is adnan.
I am doing a Full time work at a mobile company in pakistan. I want to make money online other than my salary.
I have experience in data processing work, accounting work, and also data entry work too.
So, sir, do you think I should try my luck at above mentioned freelancing sites?
Thank You in advance:)
admin:
Yes, I think working at GAF and SL is the best part time work option, especially for you.
You said that you work at a mobile company right, So I am sure that you have internet available while you are working in your office right? and some times, you you are free and there is no office work to do, right?
You can utilize your time by doing jobs online and you will earn some decent part time money too.
Thank You
Shoaib Khan Jadoon :
Please, I need help regarding freelance sites. can u please contact me at shoabib_adr@yahoo.com
Sohail :
Helooo,,,,,I have a question. I am doing data entry jobs at GAF and I have completed 1 project too. the buyer has paid me but the problem is that, I haven't got any feedback yet. I do have received an email from GAF in which it was written that the buyer gave me an feedback but where is it ? I can't see it anywhere and I am waiting before I too give the buyer a rating. I just want to see what feedback did the buyer gave me.
admin:
In order to see what rating/feedback you got, you will first have to give a rating to the buyer too. Only after theboth parties give each other a rating, the ratings will then get visible.
Shoaib Khan Jadoon :
I just have a question.
I have won a data entry project, but as you said, we should use the escrow system to be on the safer side but how can I know whether the buyer escrowed $300 or not?
admin:
So you won a $300 project? Great, not many people win such big project. I won my first project worth $30 : )
Anyway, always remember to ask the buyer about escrowing the funds before you actually accept the project. When the buyer escrow funds, First of all, you will receive an email telling you that you just got an escrow. Also, you can go to "Manage Accounts" then click on "Payment" here you will see if there is any escrow for you or not.
One more thing, if you don't have any ratings, then I suggest you only request the buyer if he/she can put the funds in escrow, but if he/she don't want to use escrow, then tell the buyer that its ok and that you will work without Escrow.
Many buyers don't trust new people.
Best of luck

dravid :
Sir, I want to ask a question. I did every thing that is written in your guide and I won a project worth $50 and I got a excellent (10 out of 10) feedback too. Then I became a gold member. $38 were left in my account. I requested a withdrawal of $38 because I just wanted to see how much time it takes for the money to reach my bank account through moneybookers. Now the problem is that GAF said that before they send me the money, they are going to do some investigation. I am very much worried about this, what is this investigation and for how long? I am a gold member now but I want to wait and see what is the result of this investigation before I continue to do more work at GAF, my gold membership, I think will be wasted.
Please help..
admin:
My first withdrawal was of $800+. I had friends working at GAF, so I knew that I will be paid. But when I found that there will be an investigation, I was so much worried because I had more than 8 hundred dollars in my account.
Now, first of all, I want to tell you one important thing. They delay your first withdrawal only, GAF delay processing the request for no more than 15 days. After the first withdrawal, there will be no such delay in the future.
Secondly, in this delay, GAF only checks that how you got all the money. As I said before in one of my posts, NEVER post your contact information in PM. Never work for any person outside GAF, never work without (you can do sample work) winning a project.
For example:
You have $100 in your account. GAF will check that how you got it. After viewing you account, if GAF finds out that you have never won a single project. So then how you got this money?
This is what GAF is worried about. And it is because, when you win a project, you give a small fee (if you are not a gold member) %10 to GAF. So you cant earn money without giving the fee or in case you are a gold member, then they don't care about how much money you have and how many projects have you won as GMs do not pay this 10% fee.
Finally, I was a gold member at the time of my first withdrawal. And I decided to wait for 15 days before I can continue doing more work. Surprisingly, they transferred my money via money bookers in just 3 days instead of 15.
I suggest you don't worry about this investigation as now you know what kind of investigation they do and you can continue to do more work.
One last thing, they process withdrawal requests twice (Monday and Tuesday) a week. In case you want a withdrawal then make sure you request before Sunday, so that they process your request in up coming week.

Copywriting jobs include News Article writing, Press Releases etc. I think this is best work that you can do.
Please search and you will find many copywriting projects where you need to write News related stuff.
Copywriting work does mot need any specific qualification like the programming jobs requires, so every person can do it. All you need is to write grammar error free English and that's all.
Also, if you are good in internet searching, then also try data entry projects. I prefer copywriting because they pay much better than data entry jobs.
You just need to write articles, very simple, you will be given some kind of topic like "Cooking" and you then write for example a 500 words article (Write some general information about topic). If you find a topic difficult to write then just search the internet to find some material and information about that topic and then rewrite all this information in your words to produce new article but remember, never copy anything from the internet in your articles, you need to rewrite all stuff in your own words.
I will write more regarding how to do copywriting jobs in good detail, in another post.
You can find work in these categories (Market Research, Data Entry, Translation, Audio Services, Copywriting, Photography, Data Processing, and Proofreading)
Everyone can do these projects as they require no specific qualification or experience.
You also have an advantage. There are many article writing jobs related to Health care etc and News related too, and buyers prefer to give such projects to someone who has some kind of experience in these fields which you have. So, if you see such projects, remember to mention your experience in PM to buyers.
I hope this will help but incase you still have any problems then feel free to write here again.
Thank You

I always suggest people to start work at Freelancing sites as its 100% free to do work there.
There are scams out there. Few sites are legit too. If a site require a fee first, then I suggest you don't do it,
Before you give the fee, they tell you all the good things like, you will be earning thousands of dollars, but after you give the fee (incase its not a scam), they never reply back and you don't earn any money; because all they want the fee.
Where at freelancing sites, its free to join.
I suggest you try working at freelancing sites, and try to do copywriting jobs or data entry jobs.

Thank you so much for writing this website! I'm a mother of a 3 year old and has spent over 3 years looking for a legitimate work at home job. I live in Hong Kong, where telecommute is not so popular, it is very hard to make money online from home unless you have your own business. I have one question regarding withdrawing payment form GAF. Is it cheaper to use PayPal or moneybookers? Which payment processor is faster in transfering funds to my bank account and which one charges lower fees?
admin:
For both, PayPal and Moneybookers, the withdrawal fee is low. If you use money bookers, u can transfer money straight into the bank account for only $3.25. which means, even if you want a withdrawal of $10000, you only pay about $3.25 (GAF charge $0.75 to transfer money into your MB(Moneybookers) account, and then MB will charge about $2.5 to transfer it to the bank account). PayPal fee is about the same.
Both payment processors are good. You can choose to use only of them. However, Paypal is like a universal processor that is used by many websites. Where moneybookers is not as popular as paypal.

Yes, its hard to find work at GAF, but once you learn few basic things, you then get work regularly. First of all, you have 1 review at GAF right, so dont bid with high rates, do work for lower rates. Secondly, in PM, write some thing like this, "Please tell me, how much you want to pay for this project happily or tell me, what minimum amount you will like to pay for the whole project no matter how much you want to pay, I will do this project for that amount and I will do an excellent work etc etc"
You will get many replies.
Secondly, are you a gold member?
If not, then I suggest you upgrade to gold member, as then you can place more bids.
