Hi everyone,

I've just moved to Sweden and am finding it a bit difficult to start working at the moment. I was thinking of finding some online work, but would like to know what other people have experienced first.

I'm curious to know what's out there, if I can do some of these jobs if living in another country, and what I might be paid.

would really appreciate some insite on this, as it's something I've never considered before because I never had the time due to study.
thanks guys.

Hi Peresoika,

I would say use your country of residence and i think most of the places I am familiar with only accept US workers though. Here they are i you want to have a lookÑ
1. Textbroker

Research and write content. You get paid via Paypal.
2. Odesk
You bid on a variety of jobs here, everything from programming to transcription.
You can take tests to prove you have skill sin a given area. Everything is free of course.
3. Teh Content Authority
Thi is another writing site almmost like textbroker.
4. Yahoo Contributor Network formerly Associated Content
This place is great i you want to choose your own topics. you get paid over time based on how long your articless stay up.
5. SameSpeak
This place has too many tutors right now but if you can follow a script, you can be an English coach by Skype. very accessible.

Hth,
Infinite

What matters in translation is the language you are proficient in. I was once a Spanish interpreter but that is not lucrative anymore. We have people born and raised bilingual in the U.S. to such a degree that a non-native speaker just isn't worth any money anymore. And I am now sufficiently rusty at it nobody would have paid for it in the late 80s / early 90s anyhow.
Chinese is all the rage though. I'd get a degree in International business and study Chinese.
Japanese isn't what it used to be, I was working on that one also back in college. But anymore it's just not that economically lucrative for a variety of reasons.
