How to earn Extra money just by working at home as a student in cameroon

 If you are a student in Cameroon or not working and need a reliable source of Income, this post is for you. 

My personal experience on looking for online jobs for Cameroonians that really pay. 

While Studying at the University of Douala as a Law Student, I did a lot of research on how to work online from Cameroon.

unfortunately, most of the online jobs were not open to Cameroonians. I came across  Appen Connect which actually allows Cameroonians to qualify and work on long-term projects by using their smartphones or computers. You can also work with Clickworker

fortunately, I expect a majority of students to have a good smartphone and or a computer. If you are in the university of Douala, the university of Yaounde, university of Bamenda, university of Buea, or even a college student who is jobless or seeking a way to earn a minimum of 40.000frs working for a total of 40 hrs a month, then read further to learn more.

The best online job for students and unemployed in Cameroon: UHRS online job. 

I know that amount seems small. that means you are working about 1hr 20minutes a day while you are in your bed and making 1000frs. some of us work in companies where we are paid 70.000frs a month working from 8AM to 5PM. That is about 9 hrs. maybe working Mondays to Fridays. that is about 22days a month. 70.000/22days = 3181frs for 9 hours. you divide that amount by the 9 hours you work, you get 353frs/hr. hope you get the difference. if you can make 1000frs an hour on Appen you can work for 6 hours a day if you are jobless and make 6000frs a day. and the good news is that is totally free. All you need is certificates, internet, and a salary or current account to receive your money. Now what will you be doing there

you will be performing a variety of tasks like 

• Search Engine Evaluation (Help us improve search results)

• Social Media Evaluation (Help improve social media around the globe)

• Translation

• Transcription

• Short Surveys

• Data Collection Projects (e.g., voice recording, image collection, etc.)

• Linguistic Specialties (Text to Speech, Computational, Phonetics, Pronunciation, Annotation, etc.)

Don't worry about all those terms. you do not need to be a computer engineer to do any of those jobs. let us start with the first job: Search Engine Evaluation

in this task, someone somewhere in the world went to google and searched for an item, then an advertisement shows up. do you think the advertisement is relevant to what he searched? it might not be an ad advertisement, it might be a search result. do you think the result answers or contains answers to the user's search query? Take this example:

someone in Cameroon searched for "who is the Rector of the University of Douala ?" here was the search results

it is easy to tell that the user would likely click on the first result since it provides a direct answer and the information is quite recent.

what if the search results were these?

here you are quite not sure but you think the user may want to open any of the search results to read more.

this is just what this task entails. it might be to verify the phone number of a company, verify the company's official website and Facebook page, judge if a picture should not be shown to children, judge if a comment is a threat or hates speech, etc 

there is quite a lot to do there. if you are bilingual, you have an added advantage with translation projects. they pay really high per hour. see this

Now let us stop all the talking and get to business. What do you need to Get Started?
