Best Odesk/Freelance Jobs?

2 replies
The company I work for is going to make staff cuts later in the year so I decided I need to build up a secondary income and a reputation on Odesk!

I want to know what type of freelance jobs would be best for me.
Criteria:
- I want jobs that pay reasonably well. I would hope for a minimum of $20-$25 an hour after building some reputation. (e.g I don't mind working for cheap at the start).
- Must be plenty of demand for contractors in the field
- Must be good reason why people would pay more to use me (native english, Australian) than someone from India/Philippines for $4 per hour.

My current Skills currently are:
Writing, Information Research, HTML, WordPress, Online Marketing for Small Business, Private Investigations/Tracking people down, SEO, PPC Campaigns, Video Editing, Video production, Acting, Narrating, Teaching, Sales, Customer Service.

The good thing is that I'm willing to expand my skillset according to what the market has a strong demand for at the moment. However, I don't want to go down the path of learning programming (C, C++, Java etc.) because I suck at algebra/math.

If you could please leave suggestions below for in demand jobs that you think I could perform or could train to perform, that would be VERY much appreciated!

Regards,
Adam.

    The trends page on Elance does a good job showing what skills are needed and increasing. If you match what you know with an area that is growing in need, you are certain to find good opportunities. For example, "ADK" jobs are up 2054%. If you knew or learned ADK, you could easily find great jobs there.
