I am a member of another forum too. I had joined up there to talk about mylot. Another user there was looking for some help to insert metatags of google in the freewebs.com site to verify it. In order to promote it. I offered to help him, not expecting money (as you know most of us mylotters do help each other just for the sake of it not for money). I did insert his meta tag for him and Guess what he did pay me 10$ straight in to my paypal account, as I did give him my paypal ID leaving it entirely up to him to pay me or not but asked him to join up mylot. I was pleasently surprised by the money and as a bonus he did join up here under my referral link. I am so thankful to that person. I am thinking I will start doing this on regular basis. what do you say doing simple coding for others online and charging them too, not a bad idea. what do you say?

Take a look at this link. This one is ligament and you will get paid by them. The good thing is they don't get paid until you do so the have an interest in keeping you busy.

It's called "programming."
There are lots of programmers out there, but many people don't know any programmers or can't afford $30-50 an hour for simple coding.
Good job, Mansha. You may have just found your niche :)

That's a great little service you did for him. The internet can be a frustrating place. Many people don't want to learn html. They just want something done now. Instead of tirelessly scanning pages online for one little tip or code, somebody can save them time and money just by giving some personal attention.
I know a gentlemen who does this with technology advice for small businesses. He gives them free advice via email and he lands accounts just by being nice. That's a good little thing you did and you deserved the $10.
Those links the other posters added are new to me. I was not aware of the sites out there that farm out this kind of online work. Good idea.

Honest money earned by honest efforts and with own skills are always very sweet just like the first meeting with the loved one. It's encouraging for us too to know and see you making this type of sweet incomes on Internet. Keep it up not only to make money but also to encourage us to duplicate you. All the best to you!

If you can do that kind of stuff maybe you should stop by and check out www.getafreelancer.com. It's a site that gives you access to their joblist at no cost. I've seen quite a few coding jobs get posted up there but it's beyond my knowledge.. sounds like it might be right up your alley though..
Good luck!
