Re: I NEED MONEY!!!
My advice would be to spend those evening learning a skill that you can sell on Elance (http://www.elance.com). Just learn one thing, such as ebook editing, infographics, the more niche the better, then learn it inside out and get quick at doing it. You will need to do a few fake jobs first to build up your experience profile (you are the client and the freelancer), then do about half a dozen loss leader jobs. After that you should easily be able to get a higher salary than you have now, work a lot less hours and work from home.
You will have a big advantage as you will be able to charge similar rates to the Indians and Philippino's but be a native speaker making it much easier for the clients in North America and Europe to communicate with you. Once you get really good, you can up your rates. Later you can even hire and train locals and build a company around it.
Remember the secret to making money on those sites is to focus on a single niche and get extremely efficient at it.

^Samouth should get himself on elance as a Khmer translator. There is only one guy doing it and he charges $12 an hour. Samouth would be as good if not better.

Re: I NEED MONEY!!!
I think I'd like to do something in construction*. I'd even have a little experience (I was working as a plumber in Austria for two years). But that's not what you had in mind is it?frank lee bent wrote:why not try another field? real estate and construction are going nuts.
Being in construction doesn't pay shit here if you're not a guy up the ladder who's got people beneath him that he delegates work to. What did you have in mind there concretely?
*As a foreman or something.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Yeah, I have a feeling you would be better than the other Khmer translator on there. You're top notch!Samouth wrote:Thank Rama, but i don't know how the website work.
