When we ask someone,

Do You Want To Earn More?

out of 100 people, 99 would definitely give a confirmative answer…

However, if we ask the following question to the people who earn money through online,

“Can You Please Share Your Secrets Of Earning Money Through Internet?”

out of 100 people, how many would talk to you as before?

Only a few people might want to give you some genuine tips about how to make money through online? I joined in a forum that is based on broadband issues in India. Later this month, I got an email from the Admin of the forum announcing the introduction of the new section in it regarding online jobs. I was curious about it. Until the writing of this post, there have been two ideas brought out in public by the Admin of the forum. It’s a very active forum and I’m happy to see the Admin’s noble gesture to help millions of employed Indians to become entrepreneurs. If you’d like to know more about the ideas brought out by the forum’s Admin, click here.

Couple of weeks back, I wrote about wahm.in/forum that is doing a similar noble job by providing direct jobs to many people in India. Those who’ve missed it, click here.

Good Luck!

Hi there,

This is a forum targeted towards India. The forum admin has been doing a noble task by providing contracted work to unemployed people in India. He has his unique style of selecting people for his work. He needs to know what kind of computer, internet connection one has got before assigning work. He also needs to know how many hours a person can dedicate. And finally he expects a proper resume too.

He has a point here. Let me go through one by one.

• There are many people who don’t have a proper computer and/or reliable internet connection in India. There are people who still use P3 computers (with 128 MB memory and Windows 98) and expect to earn $10 an hour. And there are some people who have a BSNL connection and think it is a reliable connection. There is no doubt BSNL has done a great job by making internet avaiable to rural people with affordable rate. But the question is, “Is BSNL reliable?”. I bet it isn’t. You could refer http://broadbandforum.in/ to see others’ opinion on this issue.
• And the next point is availability. He’d like to know how many hours a person can dedicate. He doesn’t want anyone to quit his/her present job and take his assignments. However, he’d like to know if the applicant can stick to what he/she promises. For example, if an applicant assures to work for 4 hours a day, every employer in this earth expects the same from the applicant.
• Finally resume. There are brilliant people, who speak/write English naturally/fluently, out here in India. Well, in reality, how many of them are working as a freelancer (part-time or full-time)? It’s hardly countable. Many of those exceptional people join in companies where the starting package is more than what their parents earned in ten years. So it is natural to ask their resume before applying for a job.

A similar system was followed by www.luckweaver.com. Unfortunately, there were many people who started scamming. Hope it wouldn’t happen to http://wahm.in/forum

Howdy there,

I’ve been working in oDesk since the start of this year. There are so many features that attract serious employers(buyers) and qualified freelancers(providers). However, I do not agree that it’s a complete website. It has got few dangerous pitfalls. For example, still there is no regulation to stop spams completely. Sites like Elance stops few of the spams by charging hefty fees.

I still believe oDesk is the best market place where you could find plenty of genuine job openings that are hourly based.

What do you feel about oDesk?

In your point of view, which is the best freelancing website?

Which is the best freelancing website where one could find genuine fixed price projects?

Luckweaver.com will be back soon. I got this information from a friend of mine who was an admin in that forum. It will be merged with seekluck.com soon. I’ll post an update on this here. However it will be a part of seekluck.com rather than a standalone domain.
