Still looking for online jobs.

I've been pretty much looking for other online programs that I can do to earn $30 to $50 on a daily basis but most of the ones I see require special skills or investment money. The investment money is out of the question though, since that's how I got in trouble in the first place. A friend of mine is starting a business that's already been DTI registered since last year. People who want to join will only need to give a one-time P200 or $4.27 in today's exchange rate and refer two people to join the program as well. But that's another story. I'm aiming for online jobs I can do.
Anyway, transcribing is turning out to be real hard. I just realized that for me to be able to finish transcribing an 18-minute audio recording, it would take me four hours at least. Yesterday, I picked up a transcribing job that could've paid over $4. I thought it's going to be easy until I've heard the accents. Heavy English accents are difficult to transcribe. They don't tell you if the ones speaking aren't from the US. It was just posted there and since that's the only one I'm qualified for, I took it. Needless to say, I wasn't able to finish the job even though I was already provided an extension time.
The hunt is still on. Everyday, I'm reminding myself why I need to this this. It's primarily for my son's tuition fee, to help me pay for my debts and maybe after, I'll be able to go to back to school again and take up a nursing assistant course. I believe that God is merciful and will guide me to the right path.

Never give up, something will come into your life that will make you happy. I honestly think making money on line is not the way to do it. Sites like this are only worth pennies. Its not a job, its fun and wasting time...A real job, in small business, or restaurants or anywhere is better than the pennies you get on line.

I personally know of people earning so much online. Right now I'm relying here because I can't get a job offline. Job offers are limited with my age and being a college dropout doesn't help too. I do have a background in manufacturing but the ones nearby are only hiring younger people at the moment.

Have you tried Postloop and Forumwheel?
Postloop members can earn up to 30 dollars a day while Forumwheel members can earn 3 dollars a day. If you pass the trials of both sides, that is like 33 dollars a day.

I've read reviews on Postloop and people were saying that it's even impossible to reach 100 points in 1 day that would equate to $5. I still signed up though. I'm just looking for what people say about this so I won't be wasting my time at all. Then again, I still like writing so I'll try it.

I hope you can find one soon.
By the way, are you familiar with Upwork? When I first thought of travelling abroad, I thought that it will be good if I also have a job that will not restrict me to stay in the Philippines. I browsed the internet and also looked for freelancing groups in Facebook. There are 2 facebook groups where I joined. The first one is Freelancing Philippines and the other is Upwork. I have noticed that some members in Freelancing Philippines are also in the Upwork Group. They have been posting many useful information there that I think will surely help many people searching for online jobs. I hope it can help you too.

Are you into freelance writing? You could try Textbroker, Zerys and Writer Access. You do have to apply, send samples and send in tax info, but they're all legit. I've been on them for years; and they all pay via PayPal. I'm not sure if they're available for your country, but it couldn't hurt to look them up. If anyone else suggested this, I'm sorry.

You should try that humanatic just in case. I remember I saw some one from that site graduated from school for simply using that site alone. hard to believe but yes, he used his humanatic earnings there.
