oDesk: Changing How The World Works For Freelancers

"The distribution of talent around the globe has never matched the distribution of jobs." -- Gary Swart, CEO, oDesk Corporation

In tough economic times like these, more and more people are looking for ideal ways to make money. People like me, realize that having a regular, low paying job is not enough to get the pampering you want, let alone cover up those staggering monthly expenses. Most of the times, we find ourselves struggling to make both ends meet. It's not just the way to live the lifestyle we want for ourselves. We get through, yes. But just barely.

Early last year, I've realized what an online job can do for me; how much it can provide for my needs and wants. After getting sick and tired of receiving fixed income regardless of my productivity, I think of ways on making more money. Since I hate boring and routinely jobs, the phrase "How to make Money Online" came to mind. Armed with hope and determination, I immediately search the web for legit ways to make money using the internet as a medium. I stumbled upon e-bay, affiliate marketing, paid surveys, etc. But I had my eyes laid on the words online job. Since there are hundreds of bogus online jobs on the net, I made sure to look for legit ones to start with. So After an hour of searching, a very legitimate website came up: The On Demand Global Workforce - oDesk
