oDesk.com – oDesk is an online platform where clients (
employers)
and contractors meet. If you don’t have an account with oDesk yet, all
you have to do is sign up, upload your most recent photo and you’re
ready to supply information about your skills, education, work
experience and certifications. oDesk also provides a number of tests you
can take to showcase your proficiency in certain categories. When
scouring for jobs, take note there are jobs that pay by the hour and
others at fixed rate. For hourly jobs, verified work is guaranteed
payment. This can also mean scrutiny of a contractor’s work habits. For
fixed-price jobs, you get paid per deliverable, and there is no need to
log hours. On the negative, there is risk of non-payment because oDesk
does not guarantee fixed payment.

ReviewStream.com
– ReviewStream pays people to write reviews on just about anything –
from household products to cosmetics, restaurants to airlines, hotels,
the latest gadgets, books, movies, a whole lot more. A review is more
likely to get accepted if it is about a reviewer’s experience and
opinion of a product rather than the product’s basic descriptions. For a
review to make the cut, minimum word count is set at 200 words. If a
review is rejected for being too common, more fact than opinion,
ReviewStream may still buy it at bulk rate, $0.30 instead of the regular
rate of $1.50. Once the minimum payout of $30 is reached, payment is
made through Paypal.
