These past few weeks, I was so busy finding online tutorial sites. I had been working for more than 3 years in my current online tutorial company. With such situation, I wanted to explore the other opportunities. I humbly say that I had passed all the requirements needed by these companies. But then, I need to decline the chances due to inhuman payment scheme. Thus, I finally decided not to abandon my current company.
I had applied three (3) online tutorial sites. They are legit as claimed by the people who work with them. I cannot deny that the hiring process is impressive. It feels like you got a jackpot opportunity.
Let me share the payment scheme of each company and why I didn't push through.
Company 1: $0.19 for 25 minutes online unbooked classes
Company 2: It pays $1.36 per regular classes but no payment for free trial classes.
Company 3: $1.41 per online classes but the working payment for a month will be after 15 days
Can you believe this?
Do you think it is worth to work with them?

Whoah, they are way too cheap.
How can you make any money with those cheap cheap rates they pay you?
Keep looking and you are sure to find something better I am sure.

I have had to work in some very badly paid places but never was the money as low as that.
Shocking you are worth much more than that go for something better if you can.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I agree. It was so frustrating after going through their hiring process. Finally, I felt contented with my current company. Now, I am preparing to gain a certification of TESOL.

I am really surprised those companies have gotten anyone to accept such low payments for that type of work...
But I also know there are people who want to work from home so badly that they will accept anything offered to them, too. SMH!
Uhm... I frequently write or record tutorials explaining different aspects of smart phones and their service providers as well as tutorials concerning different aspects of computers and tablets without charging anything for my assistance. I do that all the time here on myLot. Several of my discussions are tutorials for one thing or another. (This is different, in my opinion. I offer these tutorials to people here on myLot, whether they are my friends or someone I have just met. I like to help people... A lot of them that I help here on myLot couldn't afford to pay anyone to help them with problems they encounter.)
I am not sure I'd want your job. Tutorials can be really tedious work. (I do think it is great that you like writing or making tutorials, though. It is a job that needs to be done and should be done by a person who is detail oriented and focused in their work.)

@DaddyEvil I wish I can have such company. My friend and I were talking about and looking for a marketer in non-native speaker's country. Hopefully, it would be materialized. Don't worry, my friend. I will let you know if it happens. It would be fun.

@Shavkat It is good that your present company pays better than the others you've found, Shavkat.
Wow! If you ever do start your own site and take on others, let me know. Pretty and I both do that type of work, too. Normally, we get our work through word of mouth of previous satisfied clients.

They pay so cheap! Can't you just teach on a freelance scheme and not going through such unjustified scheme of companies? I know it is so tedious to teach even online.

All I want to do is conversational English with people that want to improve their English. I have been rejected from all the places I applied to because I am not a teacher but my mother tongue is English. I wish I knew where to go to find the right people that would like to learn to improve English by conversation. You can learn a lot by conversation. The right conversation will help people. Thank you.

You did not mention the details of the classes, so I cannot judge if this is worth working with.
