Working from home with party-lite has changed my life, both my financial life and life at home by offering me increased time with my family. I spend my days as a mom taking the kids to school and doctor appointments, karate and soccer practices. At night I spend about an hour making phone calls to party leads and I get to schedule parties on dates that work for me and my family. My daughter and son love that I am home with them all the time. Before I worked at a nursing home as a Certified Nurses Assistant (CNN). I hardly saw my children. To make matters worse, I did not make enough income at a job I worked 12 hour days at. Now I am “a stay at home mom” and make more than enough money for less hours (while staying at home with my family).

I knew about oDesk way back in 2007, but I only started taking it really seriously just about 2 months ago. I did not consider it then because of the element of risk in self employment. I only realized recently that you do not have to be risk tolerant to be self employed and it’s not a must have for self employment.

The lack of a regular income is the most common risk people talk about, but if you present yourself well through your profile that’s the first step to succeeding in online self employment. Once you prove your worth to your employers by being able to provide what you have promised or agreed upon, you’ll be preoccupied and you will have an impeccable track record that will certainly be viewed in a positive light by any employer. In no time you may even be wishing that there are more hours in a day so you can take more assignments. I know I did.

My oDesk career started out while I was surfing the web looking for legitimate online work. A friend who was on odesk provider already back then told me this is the way to go to earn from home. My biggest mistake is I didn’t believe her then, because I’ve become too comfortable in my 8-5 cubicle job with a stable company (IBM) and also because I thought it was one of those online scams that promised quick money for an easy job but you have to pay to access their server etc.

When I checked her profile and amount earned recently, my jaw literally dropped, and I kept thinking to myself there’s no way I could have earned that much in my current job and it could’ve been me! I still regret it to this day, not starting way back in 2007 I mean, but I am making up for lost time now by taking as many assignments as I can, and also by quitting my day job to become a writer and an oDesk freelance provider.

I applied for 20 jobs at a time back in July, and I got rejected in all of them every single time because I was new to oDesk. But I was persistent, because now I know it’s worth it. Just like hunting for a real job in the real world, I kept on applying, and I finally got hired a week or so after.

There are various freelance sites popularizing the outsourcing drive, but as I have found out for myself, the most recommended and popular site in transparency and security is odesk. What I like the best about oDesk, it is fair: an hours work, for an hours pay. oDesk was also free so there’s no risk in trying.

Odesk lets the poster of the job or the buyer/employer (as it is called) manage his employees and team by keeping track of their work and proceedings. On the other hand, for the service providers like myself it also a great tool to manage my work on timely basis and get hassle-free payment for genuine work.
