Remote Work Network

[Alma.Innovadora]

Greetings,

Is anyone interested or have group thought of a way to pool skills and work remotely to help each other? Create a remote work network. For example, I am a photographer. I have seen numerous job offers in other countries where they ask for photo editors, in my country it is not a high demand job and with the free time I have and it's ability, it would help me to generate extra income. If someone knows about an offer where I can act as an intermediary and do the job, I think it could work. Of course that demands a high responsibility and adaptation very different from the dynamics of your home country. They would have to be non-contracting jobs, freelance jobs. Another possible job, for example, that is not limiting is to create designs for shirts.

Payment now is more flexible because we can use cryptocurrencies and not depend on sending money through a bank or sending it as a remittance, which offers a great advantage for countries like mine, where if I don't have a US account, a zelle account or a credit card, I can't receive payment from another country.

Any idea how to support us in that way? is it possible? how can we complement our skills for someone who needs a person with a certain knowledge for something he knows he can do if he only had someone collinear to do it?

@logos5x5 Greetings Tocayo, is the Revolt page still active? I would like to resume sending designs, I have too much free time.

Hi @Alma.Innovadora

I am not sure with photography though you can find a lot of graphic design jobs online. I find jobs in LinkedIn and Upwork.

Here is also a list I found in a Reddit post.

Thank you! I'm going to check them out carefully. It happens that the competition on those websites is quite high and that's why I didn't open an account, besides that not all of them work with PayPal, I don't have a credit card. But! i will see them again since you sent it to me again, thank you very much!

It's true. Competition is very high, for remote work is applied by a lot of talents worldwide.

How I see it, it is important to open an account for even if you will not apply yet, you're sending a signal to the Universe for work. hihi Whenever you're ready, you've already done the first step, i.e., your work profile.

For payments, Im not sure where you are currently based, in my experience, most clients are pretty flexible. With credit card, do you mean a bank account? I receive my salary through Wise. Wise offers a card as well. I think the same thing with Revolut. You might want to consider these two. Paypal has high fees. :/

That's why that's why I'll take a closer look at them

Yes, a bank account and out of my country. I am from Venezuela, a country that is not on all the lists of banks worldwide, that's why at the moment my only option is PayPal. Wise and Revolut is not available in my country, along with Russia, China, Cuba... it's no surprise.

If I look for another application, I must make sure that I sent money to Paypal or else I will not have access to the money because I do not have a Visa or Mastercard. In the best case, contact the client directly to make him pay directly but I risk having my account deleted for violating the policies of these websites that usually do not allow users to make payment outside the platform because they would stay if their respective percentage. PayPal Yes, I have heard that the interest is high but I can get that percentage back. There are many applications, yes, but not that work with Venezuela.

So all that's left for me is the above, to receive the payment outside the platforms and take a risk with it, I must check very well. A signal to the universe but the Matrix and its usual agents (laughs).

It seems so, thanks for taking the time and sending me that info I'll test and see.

I use Upwork with a Payoneer card.

For photography, there are a lot of sites where you can upload your photos, and someone who wants the specific image or needs that image for a particular design can buy that image.

It is pretty useful if you have a lot of images I think.
Or you can research a little and see what images people want, and what they buy, and then make your account and offer more of those images if you can.

One of these sites is 500px.

The below came from Google when I was searching for 500px link

Does anyone make money on 500px?

It's totally free to contribute your photos to 500px Licensing, and you earn 60% of net sales on images you've submitted exclusively for licensing. Users with Awesome- or Pro-level memberships will earn 100% of net sales on images they've submitted exclusively for licensing.

You can search for more sites similar to 500px. I knew this was one, but I am sure there are many more.

It's interesting. A relative who lives in Chile, has left me a similar card, he does not work with the banks in my country, but I can recharge it with Paypal and use it. Thank you for that information because Chile can apply a regulation at any time so that that Chilean card is not used in Venezuela, although that can come from anywhere really, it's only a matter of time. I will investigate more about it to see what new limitations there are here with Payoneer, thanks!.

I have an account on 500px since 2015, I have only made $2.31 and it's not even the limit to be able to withdraw the money, very sad . It hasn't worked for me at all. It happens that the photographic work I have not been able to continue it to generate enough interesting photos to sell, the policies have changed considerably too and I have had to delete other accounts of that type.

I spent many years doing a different job than the one I wanted because of the urgency of the moment, besides they were very murky political times and I could not afford to follow my own path and doing it required having a considerable economic resource and acquiring equipment that are not economic. Besides, people don't like to pay the right amount and I'm exhausted from fighting it. For now I don't have enough money to invest in new equipment, pay other people to take pictures of it or travel and take tourist photos not to mention the insecurity that that entails. I threw in the towel for the moments in that area of my life.

Today I dedicate myself to editing real estate photos and making ads for a newspaper, both jobs outside my country, they don't pay badly, but it's not enough.
