Hello there! I am currently a stay-at-home mom who's constantly looking for ways to earn extra while at home. I recently joined Odesk and Craigslist but unfortunately, I still haven't landed my job yet. Clients, particularly in Odesk, prefer experienced contractors with higher working hours and as a newbie in online work, I rarely get a project. Can you recommend some ways and sites that are helping you earn extra? Your help is greatly appreciated! :) Thanks so much and hope to hear from you all!

Thanks angelpink! I'm just looking for ways to earn extra while at home. My husband encouraged me try getting an online job so I can earn while still able to supervise our baby. I'm not really into getting rich. I just want to earn for myself while at home :) I also joined a writing site and hopefully, the articles I submitted will be approved. There are so many good writers these days and I feel mine is pale compared to them.

hi ayeesha, currently i am a stay at home wife... a home maker after quitting my job. i just came to realize i am slaving away 11 hours each day working for someone else, like you i would very much love to work from home and be my own boss. other than these sites have you ever considered being an online entrepreneur? have you considered starting a small scale business? i am from the metro as well and if you like we could exchange ideas and help each other.

I wanted to venture into business however, the online market sells almost the exact same thing. I wanted to sell something new and not common to at least give me an edge against other online sellers :)

You can do some online surveys as well, and now i love surveyhead the best all though i do the surveys not so often because i dont like it. And there are still many other survey sites that you can take a try like globaltest or globalmarket? can not clearly remember. Anyway, good luck

Hi there Ayeesha, you looked so young in your photo. ;) i wish you good luck and i hope you would be able to find more jobs online. Aside from odesk, you can try to register at elance too. they are basically the same. since you are at home maybe you can try to increase your working hours now because you need to build your reputation at these site/s.

Thanks chiyosan! I did register and applied, unfortunately, no response yet from clients. I still haven't landed my first contract so I'm really having a hard time building my profile. That's why I'm trying my luck with other sites and thankfully, the members are providing good recommendations :)

you might want to try Freelancer.com, its like Elance, but its much easier to get a job on. I also work on People Per Hour and iWriter. Another easy site to make money on is Slice the Pie, writing music reviews. Good luck!

I find there is lots of ridiculously low paying jobs on Freelancer, but there is also a few good paying jobs. I've been working online about four years now and make a living doing it. If you are artistic, you should check out Greeting Card Universe, I make good money selling greeting cards on it.

Hi! Thanks for sharing! :) I'll definitely try Freelancer. How's the pay there, by the way? I've been to Elance but no luck as of the moment. I hope to land a job on the sites you mentioned. Thanks again and good luck to you too!

Have you tried elance? it is same as odesk. or try to be a part time teacher if you can find foreigner who want to learn your language, one of my friend from Philipine do that as part time and she is also a stay at home mom. If you interest in marketing you can try to sell some product from online shop as reseller or dropshipper. Goodluck

I did and got the same result. Still no feedback from the clients I applied for. Maybe there's something wrong with the way I sell my skills. Lol! I haven't tried online selling since most of the items sold online are very common (clothes, shoes, bags). I'm still thinking of what to sell, something new :)

Hi ayeeesha! Welcome to mylot! This is how helpful this place can be. I know you already got lots of ways to earn online so I think I'll just reserved my own way of making online for future use. If for any reason you were not able to get what you want or what you are looking for with the suggestions you received here, just inform us so we can make other recommendations. Keep on participating with myLot. You will also get some amount from this place. Have a great day!

Okay. So maybe I should give some background of my online activities aside from myLot. I have my permanent job and I am doing my online work on a part time. This is one of the reasons why I cannot be able to join freealance sites that you mentioned. I am writing but not I am not doing it for a specific client. I am submitting articles in some writing sites and so far I can say that it can be a good source of income especially that you have an opportunity to have passive earnings in the long run. Good luck!

If you don't mind me asking, where do you submit your works? I've been trying blogging too but since my site is new, I don't get much visitors yet.

I'm checking out the sites suggested by the other members and its pretty good. Actually, I'm willing to work, its just that no one is hiring me! Lol! They prefer the experienced ones so my chances are realy slim.

You can try article writing online as there are many sites who offered upfront payment for the approved articles, also you can earn from revenue sharing sites for your articles.
