A Platform for Small-Scale Freelancing: Microlancer

[venturabay]

Hey everyone,
I recently stumbled across a great way to earn a few extra satoshi with small tasks called Microlancer. I got an account here a few days ago and things have been going smoothly. The platform is based off of the lightning network, with people posting tasks for people to quickly complete and earn a bit of money. Don't expect anything too amazing, since a lot of tasks go for six or seven cents, but with how quickly they can be completed it's a good way to earn a bit of extra cash. This doesn't mean that it's all amazing though. It seems that posts of tasks are less frequent then one may expect, which can make it hard to find new work after most desirable tasks have already been completed. It's also not very easy to filter through tasks, although with there only being six pages at the moment it's not all that much of a hassle. With all of this said, I still recommend you give it a try. If not for making a few cents, then post a task and alleviate yourself of some form or another of menial task.

Anyways, hope everyone is having a good day.

Too many blockchain based freelancing websites are out there. They just don't really work or offer anything unique. My introduction to this forum was while fulfilling the requirements of a website called blocklancer that did an ICO back in 2017 and i bought a few dollars worth of their useless tokens.

The one you talk about seems to be using LN so it maybe worth a look.

There are a lot of micro-earning websites, but I don't know if some of them are still in existence or not.

Won't take much of your time, but for sure there will be a lot of competition out there. But good that there is already a support for LN.

Op you didn't put any link to the site freelancing that you tried. We understand that many of such exist but many don't worth the try and you end up wasting time with them or don't get paid after labour. Maybe you give link so to see what particular site you have advertised.

If we ignore the part where you telling all the hard stuff about the website then it sounds good. Well it’s best for the Asians considering cents are equal to little more than that. This could be pretty good for such workers. I guess I am going to try this out for sure.

This is in fact far better list than I ever could search it on the web. Thanks for sharing this. I’m not sure if anyone else has experience with any of those. Would be great if someone share their reviews on the same.

I gotta have multiple ways of earning these days. The lockdown stuff is coming back in my area so need to be ready for the same

[Sterbens]

this will only waste your time in vain, then unfortunately you did not list the platform, so what should we analyze first. You only offer but don't give us anything to review.
I feel comfortable here and found great work on the forums. We take it seriously not only to make money but to broaden our horizons regarding the growth of each country. because in this forum I got a lot of knowledge.

Actually, such types of websites are doing a great job and offering revenue sharing, You can do micro job as a freelancer and you also can offer job as a buyer.
I know a platform that was build up in our forum [ANN] WorkingForBitcoins.com - New Freelancer Platform
I've seen some of their campaigns in our forum and frequently used it as Employer science 2018. Such type of platform is not good to earn much but these are very effective if you want to hire freelancers with the lowest cost.

a lot of tasks go for six or seven cents

Nice find.  

Should mention this microlancer format was originally pioneered by amazon's mechanical turk platform.

https://www.mturk.com/

Mturk remains the largest existing platform with the most opportunities, support and jobs posted.

I do believe I would go and try it, most of the sites out there are not paying well but with integrated lightning network you won't even have to wait for the payment for come but then again there is always a lot of competition it's a big task to find work even there. I did find the prices to be extremely low, rather one can always go and ask for payment in Bitcoins in a professionally completed tasks.
For example: they are giving 100 Satoshi to use IP royals for at least a week, this is extremely low. There are far better sites to do such things , even in the services section you can find much better job opportunities and I did see that they have small insignificant works they should add work which is more professionally oriented. Plus this is only one site I recommend you using other sites the prices are better there for sure this way you have to wait a lot to make a considerable amount . Things like : downloading honey miner (it was an advertisement which was posted there ) etc it would be advisable to not download any softwares even from a trusted website it might cause a lot of problems in the future.

Thank you for this review. This is especially good for newbies who are looking for ways to make money online. I do not think anyone who's been earning money already in this forum would have the patience necessary to accumulate these cents until it becomes significant. It begs the question, why would I wait for weeks to make $100 when I can make that in just two to three weeks in this forum by participating in signature campaigns or just offering my services.
You should not forget that many of these sites are usually scams. Many don't pay after executing the tasks

[verita1]

I have not tested the websites for Freelancer that the members mention. But if I know of the following links that offer the community tasks to spread the word about their projects.

There are tasks from, content creator, translators, influencer, ambassadors, developers, graphic designers, etc. Every time a participant approves a task, he/she accumulates points to claim the tokens of projects such as AVAX and DAO.

Finally I came across this project on Twitter Nervos Network, its CKB token has just been listed on Binance.
Below each of the tokens and their communities, if anyone is interested in winning some tokens, this is a good opportunity.

I have tried to get income from a job like this but on other freelance websites, what I get is very small even if I have been working on it for more than one month it hasn't met the minimum withdrawal so I chose to leave it. Maybe it would be better if you learn a skill that you can offer later on a freelance website and usually a job with certain skills earns better than just working on a microtask which might end up making you despair because it is difficult to even meet the minimum withdrawal even though have done a lot of tasks.

Freelancing websites typically exploit the freelancing industry, they will pay less money because they know that freelancers are going to gobble it up no matter what. I did try some of them but the same as @Strongkored, the earned amount is not equal to the effort that I have put into it.

Looks like this is a honest review about any freelancing website around the Internet. I mean if it’s gonna take more than one month to achieve the minimum withdrawal amount then one could just drain themselves before earning handsome amounts. That’s bad news then.

The skills, well yeah it’s better to focus on some coding language or even some digital marketing stuff so that one could offer services in that field to earn extra bucks. Considering crypto currency market and nee projects coming out all the time one can assure more income from there.

So micro task is red signal I guess.

[Koro-Sensei]

I think the word Microlancer has so many unofficial sites out there. You should include the site for us to try and probably be giving reviews on. If you're a professional and probably got fired due to pandemic, I suggest you try this one. I tried it personally and its paid me off well.

You are right and actually I support all these platforms but I don't understand why we need separate platforms for freelancing jobs when there already exist some established and well known freelancer websites where we can work and earn fiat, which we can then use for buying Bitcoins. There are already sections in this forum one can use and earn decent income by offering their services.

For example, you can visit the following:
Services: To offer anything you want like designing, coding, translating, etc skills.
Exchanges: if you are an exchanger and want to change coins/fiat and earn money, this is the right section.
Lending: Got extra coins to lend out and earn interest on them? Go for it! But be careful of potential scammers.

We don't need many platforms, instead we need a few but solid and well-established ones.

I think there are several reasons:
1. The fees are quite high.
2. It is difficult for new users to join and find opportunities since a lot of job owners probably have their favorites. Skill doesn't really matter if you don't find the opportunity.
3. You don't have to depend on a fiat payment processor since the payment can be transferred to your crypto wallet directly.
4. Convenience. You don't have to trade from fiat to crypto and save some money.
5. The current platform is too centralized, or simply doesn't offer a place for crypto enthusiasts to work on some things they're good at (different from person to person I guess).

[darewaller]

Freelancing is already a small thing, people do not make worlds with this, thankfully I have been making my living with it, even though my nation got horrible inflation and I have been spending maybe 2x to live compared to a year ago.

The same thing happened to Dollar-Fiat for our nation and that is why I earn more as well and can cover it for now, sometimes some extra things come up, like on September I had to get wisdom tooth surgery and that was my whole salary, it took me all the way to January to actually be done with that debt I created during September, so sometimes life is very hard for a freelancer since we do not make much, but also there is no chance we could make a lot neither, work is obvious, it's there, I can't suddenly earn millions of dollars with freelancing, no matter what happens I will either barely live or live comfortably but that's it.

To make it even smaller would be horrible business for people.

The biggest problem with microearnings is that it's simply not worth to anyone, even the poorest people, to spend time looking for these jobs and competing for them. Captcha solving was popular because it was reliable, you could sit and work for hours and slowly earn money. Who wants to refresh a site every minute for some small chance to get a $0.01 task?

Yeah, it is like a slave labor to the max, the only way that someone can earn from this is if the pay is decent but the sites that offer this have their hands tied and they have to make do with what is the amount of fund they have. To everyone that has doubts as to whether they should pursue this micro earning task, try developing a specific skill and offer your services in the Services board and earn more in bitcoin.
