4 sites that pay you to write as a Kenyan freelancer

With the increase in competition in the job market, being able to secure a well paying day job can be very hard. Here's a look at 4 top sites that can help you as a freelancer in Kenya earn money on a part time basis:

Odesk.com - This is a site for global freelancers and there are a lot of Kenyan freelancers who are through Odesk. What exactly happens at Odesk, is that you as a contractor bids for an advertised writing gig and if selected you work and get paid.

Hubpages - Hubpages is a good site for a long term ambition. At hubpages, you write about any topic you like and they you earn is by applying to Google AdSense. You are paid 60% of the revenue that your ads generate.

Kenyaplex.com - This is a Kenyan site and is best suited for students because you just earn "pocket money" and therefore not well suited for the Kenyan freelancer who has rent to pay, but a few coins and educative material won't hurt!

Uvorcorp.com - If you are familiar with academic writing, then signing at this site can guarantee you good money as a Kenyan freelancer.

Freelancing in Kenya is becoming a lucrative activity, with faster and cheaper internet connections and I believe the Kenyan freelancer can make a living out of freelancing.
