New Things
Posted by Tara MeShale on Monday, July 29, 2013
I'm trying something new today. Instant Payday Network. They pay cash daily, which is what I need. All I really know for sure is that it involves a lot of ad posting. Hopefully, it'll work for me. I really need the money. Anyway, I'm setting my plan into motion to earn more money.
I spoke with a gentleman today about an independent contractor position with his company as a field rep. What is that exactly? Well, in what I've learned over the past several months of being an inspector/field rep is that my main purpose is to take pictures of various properties for the sake of loans and/or insurance claims. I am called or emailed by my company with a work order and a price quote to complete it. I'm usually given a pretty flexible time line to complete the work order. Usually a few days. Depending on the company and how far you're willing to travel, it could be a very lucrative opportunity. Just to clarify, this has nothing to do with the link I posted above. Instant Payday Network is some type of marketing thing. Anyway, the field inspections is pretty steady with a lot of opportunity to make some money if you have the right tools. Namely, a reliable vehicle, a good quality camera, internet access and a good calendar. Also, some gas money would help. The company I worked with previously paid extremely well, but had fewer opportunities, which was fine by me because I could easily make $200 in a day's work. With the company I just interviewed with the pay is a lot lower, but there are significantly more work orders needing to be completed. So I'll have a full work week that I pretty much have full control over. Getting into field services was fairly easy. There was no experience or education requirements needed. Some companies require business or errors and omissions insurance, but many do not require it. Most of them hire contractors, so you can work with as many companies as you'd like. You would be under no obligation to accept any work orders and you're free to pick and choose. I got started by going through the Society of Field Inspectors or SOFI website and submitting my info. There are some packages you can pay for to get tips and other info, but I went the free route. Things are looking up for me yet!

Since 2005 I have made thousands of dollars online. I've tried almost everything from paid surveys, paid to click, freelance writing, mystery shopping, merchandising and more. I am always looking for new ways to make money. Now I'm a mother and I have even more reason to go further in my online adventures. The focus of this site is not only to show some of the easier ways to make a little extra cash, but also to journal some of the ups and downs of side-hustling and attempting to work for myself. Most of what I post probably won't make you rich, but it will be something to help ease some of the financial strain and won't take too much time. I love to read and write and I also run a blog that showcases my creative writing. I really enjoy learning and I find the best way for me to learn is to share what I've gained with others.
DISCLAIMER: Many of the links I post are affiliate links, meaning I may receive financial compensation as a result of click-thrus and signups. However, I only post links to websites and programs I trust and I provide honest feedback. I only post my honest experiences with any site I promote.
