I just signed in to check what is oDesk all about, as always, I am often curious with almost about everything that I can’t help myself but to explore. August 16, 2011 came and it was actually the day after the 1st Birthday of my daughter. I was a stay at home mom during those times and was kind of a bit bored and fed up with just doing Facebook games so I decided to check back what oDesk is. I just thought it would be great to earn money online and so I took the oDesk readiness test and updated my profile. I applied to jobs in which I know I am capable of doing. Since I am a blogger for almost 4 years, I applied to numerous job offers that involves article writing. I got declined gazillion times! It was frustrating and I am about to give up when suddenly I received a job offer! Holy cow, I was applying as an article writer and I got declined many times then here it is, the job actually fell in front of me! I was so happy that time that I didn’t mind the hourly rate of $1.5 only for a WordPress Administrator job. It was a data entry type of job and the task was very easy. Since I own a lot of Wordpress blogs, I was able to do my tasks well :) But the hourly rate is not enough to cover for our electric and internet bill and so I decided to look for another job. It must be God’s will that I was offered a job in-lined with WordPress and so, I decided to take that path. Making a cover letter is also crucial for you to be able to land a job at oDesk. It took me two months before I got another contract and my job title is Website Developer/ Designer/ Manager and its for a fixed price. After a week, that project ended and I finally got my first feedback on my profile and I got a five star. Since then, being hired became easier. Up to now, I am learning some more about wordress, website-development, php,web design, html, css, javascript, jquery, photoshop, seo, smm and anything that would develop my skills and be worthy of the title WordPress Diva and a Jack-of-all-Trades Virtual Assistant.

I have earned approximately $2,000 for the past 6 months already. I know it may not be much compared to my oDesk acquaintances, but  for a part-time job and for just a total of 289 hours, it is not that bad huh?

So those of you who would want to earn extra income and also a hard working person, why don’t you try oDesk.

Or if you are looking for a WordPress all around girl, you can hire me on oDesk! click here

Their new so-called Personas for Firefox enables mozilla firefox users just like me to choose a theme with just a few clicks. There are so many nice themes to choose from and you can also create your own. To change your Mozilla Firefox theme with persona simply follow these simple steps:

  • Go to http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/
  • Choose a theme that suits your persona
  • Click details (the wear it link will not be visible if you haven’t uploaded the plug-in)
  • Click Wear this Persona
  • Install the persona plug-in
  • Restart your Mozilla Firefox Browser
  • Now you can browse in style :)
    *after installing the plug-in, you can change Persona by just clicking Wear it, you don’t have to restart your browser


    Isn’t that simple? I am currently using Garden Color Pink by Thamyris. I recommend this theme if you are a pinkaholic chic like me ;)
