These outsourcing-websites are used by small companies and independent-buyers, to outsource many different kinds of jobs. Buyers post all kinds of jobs including: Data Entry, Article Writing, Programming, Translation, C++, Logo-Design etcRegistration is free and anyone can join regardless of the country he or she lives in. Registration process takes minutes to complete after which one needs to make a professional looking portfolio. One has to enter [and verify] his educational credentials in his portfolio.Before giving job to any freelancer, buyers visit his profile to see how educated he is and what experience he has. A professional looking profile can help a freelancer to get more jobs. Chosen freelancer for a job has to deliver the completed work in the time he had mentioned in his bid. During this time, he also needs to update the buyer about the progress of his work. Remember to always meet the deadlines.When a job is awarded to a freelancer, the buyer then required to put the money, for this job, in Escrow. By doing this, freelancers are guaranteed to be paid once they complete the given work. Escrow system is fool proof, so freelancers cannot be scammed.Once the freelancer finishes the work, he sends it to the buyer. The work is inspected, to make sure it’s done correctly. After being satisfied, the buyer releases the promised amount of money from Escrow for the freelancer. However, if the buyer finds any issues in the work, he has the right to use the Arbitration System.In this system, outsourcing-website’s support staff will ask both, the freelancer and buyer, to represent their case. The support team will decide whether the freelancer has done the work correctly or not. If he has done the work according to the given requirements, then the money will be released to him from escrow.If a freelancer fails to do the work correctly or don’t it in the given time then money from escrow will be released back to the buyer. A freelancer has to do the work correctly otherwise he will get a Bad Rating.Every freelancing site has a rating system. Ratings are given on completion of each job. If a job is completed successfully then the freelancer will give buyer a rating and buyer will give when one too. Ratings are given based on several factors such as: quality of work done by freelancer, details of work given by buyer, response time to messages etc.A freelancer who fails to do the given job correctly will get a bad rating [1 out of 10]. If a new comer gets such a rating, he then cannot get any more jobs as no buyer will trust him. So always take every job seriously. Apply for a job only if you can complete it with 100% accuracy and within the given time period.Outsourcing-websites have a fool-proof system where both, freelancers and buyers, can work without worrying about scams. Join freelancing sites today and start earning money by doing online jobs for buyers.So basically, running a website is just one way to earn money online. In this article, I have mentioned another opportunity which can let you make money without any investment.
