Have you ever lived on online tasks (different from freelancing) only?

[pousinha]

Sometimes life becomes hard. It may happen the loss of our offline (or online, assimilated to an offline, carrying on a detailed contract) job and it takes a lot to find a new one. Meanwhile, we must survive. It happened to friends of mine in the Philippines and in Nigeria. They had to rely 100% on online tasks like pay to socials (for ex., like publish0x, that in 2020 was able to offer a better pay rate), similar PTWs, PTP forums, maybe pay to play too. It sometimes happens to me and to an Italian friend also, when my business lacks students and customers (and hospitals don't call my friend).

Although I have been working online since I was in school or started in 2009, I have never relied on online work as my main source of income, so I still have to work offline, so online work is just a side job, be it trading or freelance work like paid to post and the like.

For online tasks, I just take surveys and post on forums. My main source of income is from my freelance work on translation.

it is good to have offline jobs as well as an online job too.it is to have extra money and not rely on one source

I only have online jobs as my sideline not a means of living. The earnings online are peanuts. Despite that the money earned could pay some like internet.

I have never earned so much to run my life. This does not happen in India. Most Indian websites are out and out cheating.

Unfortunately it's very difficult for one in my region to rely on the online tasks as they pay nothing for survival.

Online work is not my main source of income, I am working online only to pay the domain renewal fees till the domains are sold, or the government agencies stop falsely claiming that their fraud employees who do not pay expenses, own my domains.

There was actually a time things was pretty tough, so all I had to rely on was the little I was earning online.

Latin American sites are only able to pay crumbs, compared to the foreign platforms that pay cryptocurrencies, even compared to PTP forums like this. That's why I mostly work for foreign tasks (obviously, the use of the Portuguese language, my second mother tongue, is very rare).

I'm so sorry you face such a mishap in your country.

It looks like your country faces the same mishaps occurring in mine...

Yes, I have done a lot of online tasks but I cannot live off the income through these tasks, I do them as a side hustle.

 

[eLdavis]

@pousinha yes things like this is actually common in a lot of places. People are struggling in one way or smother.

Online tasks cannot guarantee a sure money. There might be but peanuts but just accumulate what you earned. It will grow after some months.Just be patient unless you are a vlogger, there is a sure better pay.

I know, dear friends. But in my country, better said, in my specific geographic area, that's what I have.

Just be patient unless you are a vlogger, there is a sure better pay.

To become a vlogger in my country, we are compelled to meet severe tax law requirements. No worth the effort, as we finish paying compulsory Social Security fees that result bigger than the earnings. If you remember, my country is likely becoming a pseudo-communist dictatorship.

What kind of country is that? Is your country a communist country? Why is the government so harsh and participating the money making of the citizens?

Because there are cultural points wanting resident people to work only into the boundaries of the country and to only earn the local FIAT currency.
