Featured Work at Home Mommy

I love watching Gladys Reyes at her "MOMENTS show" every Saturday at 6pm..

I was watching last Saturday and I didn't expect that one of their topic was about Work at Home Mommy..

The Featured Mom was Blessie Adlaon.  She shared about her work, her kid and how she and her husband take care of their kid.  She do blogging too. On her blog, Nanay Notebook, she shared many things and am glad that I didn't missed that episode.

I am working part time at home as well and a newbie in this kind of work. And I am thankful that Blessie had share tips and info about Working at Home.

my first project from oDesk

I almost lost my patience.  I really wanted to work at home by working online.
With a  lot of notification received, " Your application to job "____ " was declined, I thought working at home is not for me.

But please, don't give up.  As I was chatting with one of oDesk Customer agent says, " it pays to be patient and deligent", if you really wanted to find telecommuting jobs and work at home..

I got a contract last July 28 to do a Data Entry task with a little of research.
I was so excited that the task suppose to be for one week was done within 3 days.

Hah!  At last!
And the good thing? My employer was so nice and accommodating.  He even offered me to do another round of the same task.

Isn't it nice to hear that we are now sure that Working Online was real.
And it's only here at oDesk.

Job Online: How can we get paid

I've been wondering how does Online Job works?  What would be your assurance that after working on the task givin by someone you haven't met personally that you will be get paid?

I am barely new with oDesk  and still trying to familiarize how it works.  With the feedback about the outcome of every completed contracts, I can say, I have chosen the right one.  Though I haven't got any task yet I applied for, I must say, I shall recommend this to our fellowmen.

However, one important thing to know is about the payment of the task completed.  We must make sure that this must not be the scam thing.

With the article share by Gem Baltazar, a Filipino, who is a member also of oDesk, who shared about getting paid at oDesk, I may say, getting paid at oDesk is guaranteed.  With her informative article  including how to withdraw at Paypal, am happy to know that Paypal is one payment option of oDesk for you to get paid.

To start with, try to get your account at Paypal.



And to know more information about How can we get paid at oDesk, view Contractors' Discussion board shared by our fellow Gem. 

A big thanks to her, Mabuhay!!!
