i plan to quit my job and move to an Eastern European country with small costs of living in march. Because of this I am looking for any job that I can do online for around 20 hours a week. I am looking for recommendations on where to look, where to ask, who to contact that might help me, etc. Any help will be appreciated.

What skills do you have?

Comment author: Tenoke 08 January 2014 04:28:43PM 0 points [-]

I have a degree in Psychology. Worked in Admissions mostly. Can do light coding (planning to spend more time on that during my extra free time) and some statistics (ditto). Can't really think of anything else that might be relevant.

How do you rate your own writing abilities?

Comment author: Tenoke 08 January 2014 04:36:08PM 0 points [-]

6-7 / 10 depending on the style and subject matter. Currently trying to improve in that department.

Yvain wrote a good thing about this sort of situation here.

I suggest you read the comments too, they have some interesting ideas that aren't in the post proper.

I have a friend who uses http://tutor.com .

You need to live in US or Canada to work for tutor.com. At least, that's what it says on their application page.

Freelancer.com is worthwhile.

You can play online poker. If you play the numbers you can make a steady profit.

Been there, done that. I stopped back in 2010 when it became clear that the US will manage to forbid its citizens to play with everyone else as I assumed the games will become even less profitable.

I imagine that things are even worse now but I haven't looked into it for ages, however if you think there's still money in there then maybe I should investigate.

Holidays can still be decent. I also hear tell there are bitcoin denominated poker rooms full of relatively bad players.

bitcoin denominated poker rooms full of relatively bad players.

What? I thought all btc poker rooms are scams and/or almost void of players. This is awesome if true though, I will check it out.
