LiveWork

I recently joined up with LiveWork - a splinter company of LiveOps. (It's somewhat similar to oDesk.) I've been doing small scale "freelance" writing for a couple of different providers.

Nothing fancy, just short answers to queries that have been accumulated into a list. The pay isn't amazing but after you get used to the work and gain a bit of momentum, it can be decent money. Not "pay the bills" decent, but definitely "put groceries on the table" decent - which is what I'm primarily shooting for to start with.

I've really enjoyed it for the most part. It's a bit monotonous, but you learn some interesting things and there's absolutely no schedule at all. Just answer as many questions as you like, as often as you like, whenever you want.

The two projects I was on are coming to an end though, and I'm not sure whether new ones will be presented immediately or not.

I would definitely recommend LiveWork to people who are looking for supplemental income, even just to browse over once in a while - there's a variety of work, and although it's small now I assume it will blossom as oDesk did.
