Comments on: 42 Easy Ways to Make Money Fast https://dollarsprout.com/how-to-make-money-fast-100/ Maximize your earning potential Wed, 05 Apr 2023 22:52:57 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.2.2 By: Jody https://dollarsprout.com/how-to-make-money-fast-100/#comment-56982 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 00:54:48 +0000 https://staging.dollarsprout.com/?p=578#comment-56982 Really terrific array of options. I have a question for anyone actually using UpWork, though.

How did you start making money?

I created a profile and started looking for freelance jobs. I found the pay generally abysmal (i.e. I have a nearly-finished book on the exact subject someone was looking for, and they were offering $50…yes…$50 for an entire, expertly-written, original book)(sigh), but figured I’d jump in on a simple task and earn the $5 they were offering, just to get my feet wet.

(In terms of freelance writing, I have fairly high standards, but what’s being solicited is mostly low-value space-fillers, no personal expertise required. Just slap some sentences together that will pass a copyright filter, and there’s your $5-$25. That’s not for me. I write with purpose, and only on subjects I have the expertise to offer. I’m proud of my work!)

Lo and behold, that first potential employer asked to communicate outside UpWork, while assuring me pay would be through the platform, though. As my very first potential gig, I didn’t feel comfortable operating outside the rules, so I withdrew my application. So much for my first UpWork job.

I have found COUNTLESS potential opportunities on UpWork that speak directly to unique expertise I possess, yet there is always something…pay is not worthwhile, they’re not really looking for well-researched material, or they require someone with more UpWork experience, etc.

I just can’t see a way to really get started, what with so many unknowns on that platform. I’d love to hear from someone who has some experience. 🙂

Hey Shane!

Apologies for the misunderstanding — the $50 is not instant. They generally release it in $3-$4 increments each month totaling $50 per year (so long as you keep the app installed). In addition to the monthly cash installments, you get automatically entered into their $10,000 monthly sweepstakes. Hope that helps clarify!

It just says they will enter you into some sweepstakes. Thought you might want to know that. Thanks.
