Many would think that part time and freelance jobs should not be taken seriously. Wrong. A not-so-serious job that is handled seriously will give you serious money and serious fun. Whereas, not-so-serious job handled not so seriously may land you in a serious trouble. In fact, if you study carefully, many of the big companies today started as very small, part time and freelance businesses.

For example, Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple Company started his company at the back of his own home while studying in the university. The business grew at a rapid pace and eventually Steve was forced to abandon his studies to focus on his business. His business allowed him to make his first billion dollar. In one of the SKOR Career blog postings, you can also learn how 2 sisters who started a part time business and now is on the verge of getting into full time after their venture was discovered by the press.

Here are some of the tips that can propel you to success in managing your part time jobs.

Do you ever find yourself thinking about blogging as a new generation of Part Time Job? If no, then you should read this post to learn up how to earn minimum of $840 / RM2586 (1USD = RM3.40) per month by just writing blog. Eventually, it will turn out to be your long-term part time job.

According to Desi, you will get $15-$30 per day by following his guide. The first step is make sure your blog meet the following requirements:

1. Minimum 3 posts per day with 100-300 words per post. You may write up to 5 posts.
2. Your blog must be 3 months old and above. It is not a quick cash scheme. Be patient to wait for this opportunity if your blog still young.
3. Your blog must be in English. Currently, most of the advertiser only advertise on English blog. I guess other language will be supporting soon.
4. You must write your own content. No Copy cat here!
5. Frequent posting activity - Your blog must be updated frequently.
6. No community blog - All the content must be written by you and no other author.
7. Only Text Content Blogs. No video blogs.

Based on our database, we realized 40% of members are student who is still studying in college and high school. Most of them are excited to earn some extra money without getting from their parents. I would say 60% of our jobs in job bank are suitable for these group of members. Some of these jobs don’t take long hours and only work on weekend. (e.g. Event Promoter, sales promoter, market research, etc…)

Last week, one of my friend invited me for a Multi-level marketing (MLM) presentation. This is my 5th visit to this kind of MLM opportunity talk.

Personally, I used some of their good products, however, I have never really a hard-core MLM to a point that I would promote the business setup and start recruiting others to join.

I have neither objections nor strong support of MLM.

However, I would like to share my thought on multi-level marketing (MLM), also known as network marketing.
