Freelance Work: Skillpages

Based on social networking, Skillpages is a little less structured than the other two alternatives. It involves listing your skills and hoping someone notices you (although you can browse and bid for jobs). It also allows your friends to recommend you list of skills in a manner similar to how Facebook allows you to like statuses. Naturally, this works best if you have a large network of friends who are also using the service. There are fewer safeguards in place for ensuring that freelancers and employers don’t screw each other over, so this might require a little more caution to use.

The best part quality that Skillpages has is its integration with Facebook and Google+. Which makes it easier to pop in and look for jobs while simply browsing the web. It also has iOS and Android apps for getting freelance work where ever you are.

Freelance Work: oDesk

The largest freelance community online has the benefit of also being the most popular. Most of the jobs listed originate from the western side of the world. However, oDesk listings tend to lean towards technology based work that can be accomplished by anyone with an internet connection.

Behind oDesk is an automated time tracking system, so that freelancers can be paid by the number of hours they actually work. This also means that freelancers won’t have to worry about tracking their time and can actually get work done. The system also automatically hands out payment weekly, so the only thing standing between you and your extra cash is, well, you.

Freelance Work: Freelancer (Malaysia Presence)

As the only international freelance website with a presence in Malaysia, Freelancer.com might be the best place to start looking for those side jobs. A benefit of using this service is that potential clients have to put the payment into the hands of Freelancer when they post a job. This means that you are guaranteed to get paid. Payment is also doled out according to preset milestones, so employers can be certain that their requirements are also met.

Freelancer.com is currently partnering with MDeC for the Micro Sourcing to Generate Additional Income for the Low Income Household project in Malaysia. So it has at least some measure of official recognition.

FeaturePoint vs FreeMyApp

Just took a look at the latest reward system for both Feature Point and FreeMyApp.

3000 FeaturePoint points
- USD5 worth of Paypal

6000 FeaturePoint points
- USD10 worth of Paypal/iTunes

3000 FreeMyApp points
- USD10 worth of iTunes credit

So if you want iTunes credit, stick with FreeMyApp. If you want PayPal it doesn't look like there is an option. Will hv to stick with FeaturePoints

Update 4 Dec 2013: Lower value coupons/cashout from FeaturePoint seems to run out earlier and faster. You would need to wait for it to come back before being able to trade your points.

Try FeaturePoints?

My 2 cents:

I discovered this today. FeaturePoints's starting apps list is quite limited. Not as much as FreeMyApps. I'll still give this a test and see since it pays out to Paypal. 

Update 14 Oct 2013: It does seem like more apps will appear in the list if you use a US ip address. Anyone experience this ?

Update 17 Oct 2013: For those outside of the US, it works with most free US VPN provider. I've noticed the rewards have changed a little. Amazon's cheapest 600 points for USD1 is no longer there. Most is USD5 for 3000 points. >_<

Update 25 Nov 2013: Current points stand at 4232. Tried to redeem USD5 into my Paypal but the option just happen to be not there. Paypal fund check out option left was USD100 at 60000 points. It kept offering to redeem other apps instead. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe they have a limit per day. Fingers crossed. Else I'm going to have to cross FeaturePoint out. You guys can decide if you want to class it as scam.

Update 4 Dec 2013: I've finally managed to redeemed my 3000 points for USD5 Paypal. Took a few days before that option became available again. During that time, even Amazon's lower valued coupons ran out. Current FP collected stands at 1422. Another 1600 to the next USD5 Paypal.

Update 27 Dec 2013: Not much to download these days..... at 1590 points
