How Jamaicans can Legally make US Dollars as Freelance worker Online - Jamaican Flexworking to make money from the Internet

I’ve been getting lots of comments about my blog article entitled “Crowdsourced, Teleworking Flex-work Publishers needed for UWI and High School Students with Tablets in 2014 - How Jamaican Writers can make money via ePub Publishing Books” as it relates to making money from the Internet, particularly writing.

It seems there’s been a flurry of interest in making money from the Internet ever since “Digital Jamaica 2.0”, the event staged from June 28^th to 30 2012^th at the Jamaica Conference Centre as reported in the article “Make Money From The Internet”, published Sunday June 24, 2012, The Jamaica Gleaner.

Apparently some idle individuals perusing my blog have commented that my article took a strange turn. Instead of listing websites one could go to get work online gigs, I decided to show my readers how to become writer and self-publish in my blog article entitled “Crowdsourced, Teleworking Flex-work Publishers needed for UWI and High School Students with Tablets in 2014 - How Jamaican Writers can make money via ePub Publishing Books” .

In my follow-up blog article entitled “How to become an e-book Publishing House via e-book Piracy - Tablets in Schools sets the Stage for Rampant e-book Piracy”, I even went further and showed my readers how to go from e-book pirate (a phenomenon sure to come to Jamaica as Tablets) to the point of becoming a Publisher of original works for other people and thereby making money as a e-book Publisher of original content!

My Brain took a detour – Work Online isn’t so easy to Google

But back to the working online! Yes, that’s missing for the original article, I’ll admit straight up!

Apparently my pen took over my brain and with a mind of its own wrote something other than I’d intended! I did actually do an article on how one could actually make money from being a Writer for a blog or a website online entitled “How to make US Dollars as Freelance Web Content or Blog Affiliate Writer Online in Jamaica using your Scotia VISA Debit Card or Credit” Card, but it does require a bit from the individual.

This as the reader or aspiring writer would have to set up US Mailing address via registering with one of Jamaica’s local online shopping portals as detailed in the blog article entitled “How to purchase items and subscribe to Magazines online and ship them to Jamaica” among other things. This is kinda illegal and may not work out well if you get caught; all that time invested in setting up a proxy Account and deceiving the Americans that you’re in the US of a when in fact you’re Jamaica may be tantamount to scamming!

Plus in terms of Labour Laws in Jamaica you may not be covered, as many of the online jobs, which are online are not covered by our Labour Law legislation, which Minister of Labour David Kellier seems to be taking forever to update as opined in my blog article entitled “How to find work in Jamaica at Call Centers - Church opposed to Modernizing Jamaica via Flexi-Work and 4G LTE to introduce Tele-commuting is really Much Ado About Nothing”

Real Jobs online – Free Alternatives to Freelancer and MobileWorks

So as to get around this legal foible, I’ve done some deeper digging and unearthed some rare gems in the form of actual websites that allow you to work from Jamaica and get paid in you own Bank Account! You can tell these jobs are for Jamaicans as they usually request Jamaican nationals and they often have payment options that may involve either a Wire Transfer of money to your Bank Account or Direct Deposit via a local company. 

No Paypal or other payment Gateway necessary in some cases! Just straight Bank Account! I’ve condensed them from the Internet and listed them below into several Categories with their associated weblink. Please note, they are far and few and in-between as I had to sift through a lot of information online to distill it down to these clutch of websites as well as check a reference site “5 Ways to Make Money Online From Home”, published Nov. 10, 2012By Constance Gustke Bankrate.com, ABC News:

1.      Paid Social Media Jobs – Get paid to manage Social Media Pages for companies

2.      Paid surveys – Get pair to take online Surveys

3.      JustAnswer - Paid expert; Get paid to answer questions via email or text

Taking Online Surveys is also a very popular way to score some easy US cheddar:

1.      Mindfield

2.      GlobalTestMarket

3.      ZoomPanel

4.      EJury

Paid Online writing Jobs are also a delight. I’ve found three (3) that accept Jamaicans below and my favourites are listed:

1.      Legit Writing Jobs

2.      Legitimate Online Jobs

3.      Real Writing Jobs

The situation is the same as with the Freelancer and the MobileWorks Websites I had described in my original blog article entitled “Data Outsourcing comes to Jamaica via MobileWorks and Freelancer.com - Flexi-Work propelled by Crowdsourcing and MicroWorking Anaconda”, except that you don’t have to prepay in most cases to begin working. You just work and get paid and it’s open to Jamaicans. Have fun making loads of spendable cash online in your spare time from what’s effectively flex working!
