How many people here read reader's digest ?
Well if any1 of you has read it up must have seen those offers in which it says that submit a joke or story and get paid 100$ or 500$ respectively rite ? So is it for real i mean if any1 from here has done that or knows some1 who has cos i want to know the process and procedure. Also whts freelance journalism and wht are the other methods of making money online ?

yup. But, Reader's Digest is very selective. And not-to-mention original. Dont attempt those lousy jokes which buzz up ur phone everyday. But, if you have a real story up ur sleeve that would really shake up the reader. Then go for it. (errrr...maybe u can share some good joke. its been a while)

Freelancing? That's exactly what I have been trying to do for days. Do it only, if you have got excellent grasp on ur linguistic skills/knowledge. otherwise u'll end up wasting ur time. (like me, but owing to an entire different reason).
Remember, No paypal in Pak. (haha, I did a project for a week just to find out that paypal doesnt support Pak)

Cheers (:

Do any of you know anyone who got their works published?

I was awarded a project. But unfortunately the bidder could only transfer money through paypal. which unfortunately doesnt work in Pak =(

Its not that hard to earn money if you can write well and have loads of time (for research)
try GAF.

P.S: I am willing to help you with the work. Maybe we can formulate a team. Team usually wins the max number of bids. Does anyone know about Computer Languages and stuff?

Sadly, I can only help with copywriting.

Hilal · Aug 20th, 2009, 11:11 PM

I checked it out and i have no idea how it works ?

You need to be more diligent than just that. Its not like facebook.
With that unrestrained effort, you never be able to earn a penny, let alone $50 or so.
