Be Resourceful

If you are home-based like me, then you will need to be resourceful when looking for online revenue. Milking the internet need not be akin to looking for a needle in a haystack, but could be done if you are looking diligently and checking out high traffic forums online daily. The internet could be your cash cow to earn a sustainable income in the comfort of home. The benefits are plenty! You don't have to commute to work and get stuck in snarling traffic jams spending at least 2 hours on the road each day. For women, this could be the beginning of a main source of income during the child rearing years. That is the flexibility of internet jobs where you can work right at home, calling the shots and hours to work on.

Waiting for my housing loan

I am still waiting for my housing loan to be approved since the last few days. If you work for the multi-national corporations in Bayan Lepas, then your payment slip or voucher is easy to process and straight forward. It can be completed in 3 days or so, I heard. But if you work all alone and are the only computer person who handles all the computer work, then it might be a bit more tricky. First of all, you don't have an actual payment voucher to show your monthly income to tally with your EPF statement. The bank officers need to check and go through minute details. That's why it becomes tricky in this case.

Got Paid S$30 this Morning

As soon as I submitted the 5 articles of about 500+ words in length for each article, I was promptly paid S$30 by a repeat client and SEO specialist. The work does not take up more than 3 hours and everything is done online. I feel a sense of achievement to be able to earn some money here and there by milking the internet. This will surely add up to my total income by the end of the year and to be compared to previous years of incomes. Hopefully, this year will be better than 2012 with more opportunities to come in the near future.

Offer to Work on Social Media

I got an offer to post comments and share blog posts on Social Media for an average of 5 times per day for USD 50 per month. Got paid USD 25 as deposit to confirm 2 days ago. I will only start work tomorrow onwards for a client in the US. This is some extra pocket money for me as I work online. It is just enough to cover the broadband connectivity charges each month with some left over. I have to provide a list as well in Excel file of where I post the comments and share the blog posts. This will take some time, but at least there is some income that I can call my own from personal efforts. It will surely add up to my overall earnings each month to be tabulated by the end of the year.

Translation and Interpretation

With so many people on this earth speaking different languages, it is important to have the services of translation and interpretation, such as conference interpreting for doing business around the world. This world is getting more connected via the internet, smartphones, apps, and what have you. Modern technology has enabled us to earn an income right at home using our computers that are connected to broadband.

You can check out the link above for an affordable service should you require one in the near future. Freelancers, especially from India have taken this opportunity to gain from the cheaper cost of living there to do international freelancing work. After conversion from US dollars to Indian rupees, Indian freelancers are able to quit their jobs and concentrate on offering such services like translation and interpretation full time.

Now you can get affordable services without being compromised on quality. It is good to check out on them and browse around for more information. To reach a wider mass of select group of people, it is important that your messages get translated and widely read by people of different mother tongues. Then you can do successful international business online and also offline. Just last week, my church sermon was preached in 2 different languages - English and Mandarin to cater to a wider audience and congregation.

Do Charity

Only the rich can help the poor and not the poor helping the poor. That is why money is important. A local author has written 2 books, entitled, 'Money changes Everything' and 'Money is Everything'. You will feel empowered and happy when doing charity and have a sense of power that you are able to help the less fortunate. There will come a day when mother earth will go away and a new heaven and earth will be established according to the Bible. So, our mission here on earth is to preach the good news to as many people as possible thus, saving lives for eternity. Do not hoard all the wealth to yourself, for you will return to your Maker empty handed. Make a difference to this world with your presence and make it a happier place.

Best Merchant Account Rates

On a personal note, I have 6 different credit cards, mainly by Citibank Platinum, HSBC Signature and HSBC Platinum, Hong Leong GSC card, Standard Chartered Infinite Card and RHB Travel card. I am footing the government service charge of around $50 per year. But for those staying in the US, there are various credit cards to compare for the best rates at Best Merchant Account Rates. You can click on the link given to find out more information.

There are many types of credit cards in the US such as Chase credit card or Bank of America credit card, amongst others. It is very convenient to carry just a slim card in your wallet instead of thick wads of cash to buy big items like a computer, fridge, washing machine, etc.

The transaction is fast and easy too. With just a swipe and your own signature, the credit card purchased item is approved and all you need is to settle the monthly statements sent to your house. The purchase can be done overseas too when you are traveling with your loved ones for a much needed holiday. This way, it protects your hard earned tangible cash from being stolen or pick-pocketed. You can cancel your card anytime with just a phone call away.

In the meantime, you can also check out Bank of America for more information.
