Odesk.com My New Company?

Working from Home
While registering my account at Odesk.com, I found it very tiring to fill out every detail asked. I thought that these details are not that important. However, I just filled them all out thinking that I would benefit from them soon.

Before anything else, I would like to explain to you:

* What is Odesk.com?
* What can you benefit from Odesk.com?
* Is Odesk.com for employers too?
* The Downside to Odesk.com

What is Odesk.com? Odesk.com is an outsourcing website company. Its primary goal is to give many opportunities to freelancers who would like to sell their services. For example, I am a writer and I want to earn $$$ from writing, I will search for jobs that are under the writing category, technical writing, ghost writing, and so on. Basically, it's a website where you can earn real income by selling out your services.

The best thing about Odesk.com is that it is 100% free. Beware of those other outsourcing sites or websites that ask for money before giving you work. Those are totally fakes! Thankfully, I was not scammed by those rip-offs.

What can you benefit from Odesk.com? Oh my, I really love to talk about this one! There are so many benefits that you can get from working at Odesk.com. Here are a few of them:

* Be your own boss (i love this one!)
* Work any time you want, as long as you finish or submit your work to your client on or before the due date
* Take your break any time you want (lol)
* Play your favorite music as loud as you want without getting reprimanded (oh yeah!)
* Forget the pay day! Get paid any time you want!

Is Odesk.com for employers too?

Yes it is! I have had the chance to become one! The pricing is really cheap and there are no hidden fees in your credit card or debit car (this is what I am using). The advantage of the employers for using Odesk.com is that they can choose from many different freelancers. They will have the option of selecting the best freelancer by means of an interview.

The downside to Odesk.com

In general, Odesk.com provides opportunities for both employees and employers. I think the only downside to working at Odesk.com com is the initial set up of your account. I would say that it is tiring and might consume a lot of your time. However, this con is easily offset after the registration. With all the thousands of work that you can choose from, you will surely find the work that's right for you!

    It is quite tiring filling up those forms but I also do think it's got some purpose. Maybe some information will assure applicants that your company is legitimate.
    I've been an odesk freelancer for quite some time. It's been great. But right now, I think the competition have become fierce that some over qualified applicants apply to a very easy task just to get their hands on any job, have more experience and employers and great feedback and also get that job opportunity away from the other candidates.
    That's why it's better for me to have a full time and stable online job. My company hired me using a job site that only accepts companies who are looking for full time staff. You might want to check it out.

    Yes, you're right. The competition on oDesk.com is now fierce. It's hard for new freelancers to land a job there. If you are a new comer to oDesk, you must do everything to "SELL" your service.

    Thanks for sharing your idea!
