Everyone wants a lovely home. One of the first thing that visitors and passerby notice when they visit or pass by a house is the address sign.

It's great to see houses with distinctive address plaque as it gives a house its unique identity and add a sense of importance to your home. There are even large estates and establishments with decorative mailboxes and specialty address plaques.

Address signs are not just functional, it also adds a homey touch and gives a statement of style to your own home.

Now, you can even buy custom address plaques and numbers online. You can choose from a vast array of address signs that suit our house style, and have it personalized for an impressive and interesting appeal. Visit JustAddressPlaques.com, it has the largest selection of address signs at the lowest price possible. 

Getting Paid from Odesk

oDesk guarantees payment and so far, I have not received any payment dispute, even from the fixed-price jobs. Every week I've been receiving payments from my hourly assignments.

I've been using my new oDesk Payoneer Mastercard as soon as my old oDesk card expired. I'm using it to withdraw funds from BDO, BPI and Metrobank ATMs, and make transactions to establishments/ merchants with Metrobank logo. All oDesk card expired last July 15 and Payoneer had issued a new oDesk Mastercard.

While the old Odesk card has a printed oDesk in bold letters, the Payoneer Choice Prepaid MasterCard has a combination of gray and blue with the word Payoneer. I'm keeping my old card as a remembrance of my first hard earned cash in freelancing at oDesk, and as an inspiration to enjoy working even more!

oDesk Payment Method

Payoneer and Paypal and is the best payment method for me. I regularly use oDesk Payoneer Mastercard to withdraw cash and make transactions. I transfer using Paypal only if I need huge amounts of cash (thanks my sister for withdrawing my money).

1. The oDesk Payoneer Mastercard

This is the fastest and most flexible payment method. It works like any other ordinary debit card and can be used for online shopping. Withdraw your earnings from oDesk and transfer it to your Odesk Payoneer card. You can load your card within two days or expedite the payment by paying $3 load fee.

Fees:
oDesk to Payoneer = $2
immediate loading of funds (optional) = $3
monthly maintenance fee = $3 (if there is no transactions made), $1 (if you've made 2 or more transactions)
Declined ATM Withdrawal = $0.90
ATM Withdrawal (Philippines) = Php 150 - Php 200

2. Paypal
This method is cheaper than withdrawing funds from Payoneer. Though, withdrawing the money to Philippine bank takes 5 to 7 working days.

Fees:
oDesk to Paypal = $1
Paypal to local bank account = Php 50 for withdrawals less than Php 7,000; no charge for for withdrawals above Php 7,000

Other payment methods (I have not tried these 3):
3. Money Bookers - an international e-wallet system based in the UK.
4. ACH / Direct Deposit - lowest-cost way to receive funds for US bank account holders.
5. Wire Transfers - withdrawal from oDesk is $30

First $50 Referral From Odesk

I've been working on several online Odesk projects for a year - from content writing, e-commerce task, Internet marketing, social networking, researching, database building, product imaging, virtual assistant, and a lot more.

I haven't been promoting the link to my online work. I just shared it with a few friends who needs help on how to earn money at home - either full time or part-time.

One of my referral earned her first $1,000 and it had given me my first $50 referral fee.

Grateful that she registered and signed up thru my link. I guess she registered through clicking one of the ads in my sidebar or thru my blog post a year ago. I may not know her personally, but I can remember hopping through her blog last year.

Thanks Cathara! I wish you more successful projects and earnings!

What is Odesk?

Odesk is a global service marketplace for employers and contractors. At oDesk, a freelancer earns money by completing freelance projects, either on an hourly or fixed rate. It is the best place to get a project and for employers, its the best place to hire freelancers.



There are a lot of freelance job sites, but for me, Odesk is my most valuable resource. Odesk and their referral system truly works!
