How To Make Serious Money Off The Internet As A Middleman

No beating around the bush! Let’s get started with the method:

What you need:
PayPal Account
Freelancer.com Account

After you have opened a free membership freelancer.com or freelancer.ca account, you want to look for jobs that are preferably above $3000 dollars, the higher the amount the more profit potential you have! Eventually, you will want to have the paid account on Freelancer because you’ll be making money a lot with this method. Back to the method: Personally, I look for jobs posted in the Mobile App section of the website and I find tons and tons of jobs per week! Look for jobs in the department of MySQL, PhP, vBulletin and all those fancy IT/computer science terms (I don’t know anything about the topic but I’m still making money using this method)


After I found a job that seems interesting or I know that I can have done for significantly less, I head over to kijiji.ca or craiglist.com or any other website where you can post local classifieds. You can even try other freelance sites. After going on it, post a free job ad in your city and copy the job you found interesting from freelancer word for word (these ads can be detailed and some won’t be, it doesn’t matter how detailed the ad is). If the job you found on freelancer has a price of $3000 to get done, you want to put your ad with a price of half that or a little less, so roughly around $1200-1500 (that’s the range I go for). Once you post it on the local classifieds, within a day or two you should be getting lots and lots of replies for the job.

Say the job I found on Freelancer is asking for someone to do the job for $3000 and the bids on it are $2500, $1500, then I will want to bid around $2200 or $2000. I know for a fact that the person won’t be picking the $1500 bids because they might not fully understand the job task or they won’t finish it to the expectations. What I’ve experienced over the years is that people who contact you with very low offers don’t fully understand the stipulations of the task and do the job very poorly. The bids that are $2500 or above won’t get chosen because the person who wants the job done, would want it done at a reasonable price and have it be a high level of quality work.

Now after that you have been contacted by the employers from freelancer with the job and the person you want to employee for the job, you just have a general discussion between the two parties (separately) on Skype or through email (I choose Skype, I have both parties talking to me at the same time), so just in case the employee you’re hiring for the job asks you any questions about the job or the employer you’re working for you has questions about your qualifications, you can play it off that you’re who you say you are. Once everything is agreed upon and the people from freelancer pay you the money via PayPal, you can send the money to the person who is doing the job for you (take 2200 for the job and send 1200-1500 to get the job done, that’s a $700-$1000 profit you made with a few conversations). After that, you send each side their contact information and your job is done. They will contact each other if they need any more additional information.

I have to mention that you will not always be chosen to do the task you bid for, which is why you scout out all the tasks similar to the one I have mentioned and bid on several jobs (or if you have any ideas of other tasks that can be done in other ways, feel free to go for it, this method works for many other jobs as well and not just in the IT department). I know that with a free membership on the freelancer websites, you only have free 10 bids so choose the jobs wisely and once you start getting money get a membership with freelancer and you can have much more bids to choose jobs. Also, your reputation as a potential worker goes up and people will want to hire you more often for more jobs. There’s no time restraint on doing this (you will never be swamped with too much work. Send out as many emails as you can), so the potential is endless and this is very scalable.

Quick Summary:

Open free freelancer.com or freelancer.ca account
Look for job that pays very high ($3000)
Post the job you choose on freelancer on a free local classified website (put the price of the job at 50% or less; 1200)
When someone replies to you about the job from the local classified, bid on the freelancer job.
Look at how much other people are bidding at and give a price for the job to be in-between the highest bid and the lowest bid. For example: highest bid for job is $2500 and lowest bid is $1500, you must bid at $2000 or $2200.
When the person who wants the job contacts you about the job, have the person who replied to you from the local classified ready to email chat or skype chat.
Discuss the terms with both parties and find out how the job should be done and relay information of one another (answer any questions they both have, by asking the question to the respective party)
Have the employer send you the money for the task
Take the amount difference for yourself (you are getting paid $2200 for the job and you are paying $1200-$1500 for the job, so keep $700-$1000 and send the rest to the person you are paying)
Give each party the other persons email address and have them contact each other if anything pops up.
Your job is done
