Online Jobs Opportunities in Nepal! True or Fake?

Dear All,

After a really long gap, I am here to write about the online jobs that are increasing in Nepal. I was on the middle of my work and I recently got the phone call from one of my friend who hoped me to know something related to my field. I am writing them down here hoping it will help people who might have similar queries as Matrika Ji.

Friend's Description:

Recently he had seen some advertisement on newspaperof some organizations. Its about the online jobs. The organization told him that their office would be giving an online job. According to his information, the organization - office had lot of online jobs such as form filling and data entry jobs that are needed to be done. For that jobs, the office would be training the individuals for some months. The office asked for NRs 10,000 for each individuals so that they would be get necessary training. The office also said that after the training their rate would be $10 / hours working rate. And all individuals would be making money at that rate.

My friend called me to make sure whether these "offices" are telling them right or just trying to digest their money in the name of giving job opportunities.

My Answer to My friend:

There are huge jobs such as data entry and form filling in developed nation like US, Canada etc. But getting those jobs from developed nations and giving it to the individuals is the very difficult task. Maintaining the quality of work and payment issues are the most discussed issue. Yeah, these offices might be with genuine intentions to give job opportunities to free peoples but there are also different offices who might be targeting to digest individuals money in the name of giving training and jobs. So please be careful while joining these offices. Remember following things:

1. If they are taking NRs. 10,000 for training, make sure to know what they are training actually. Get the curriculum from office and post me here or send me email. So that people like me (engineers) can make sure whether NRs. 10,000 worth training are being provided or not. 
2. Also make sure what kind of training is it and Certificate that will be provided. Whether these certificates are just valueless or worldwide recognized certificate so that you can work your certificate to other offices.
3. My view is that NRs. 10,000 is very big amount of money for training people for data entry jobs. Data entry jobs can be done by anyone with basic computer skills and internet skill. You don't need specialized skill in computer field to do such jobs.
4. Rate said above $10 / hour is the most faking information I have ever heard. Even engineers like me don't get paid on $10 / hour rate, how could a data entry jobs would make that money. Its total fake.

CloudFactory.com

I am a developer in cloudfactory company (sprout technology). We are creating a system so that we can provide people online jobs like data entry jobs. And we have been doing it from past few years. Even we are not in the state of giving jobs in efficient way, I wonder how these organizations are going to give job @ $10 / hour.

It seems some organizations are trying to fraud on innocent people who are in search of job opportunities. 

Conclusion:

Now we have open web, facebook. So, if any of you guys feel doubt about those, just post it on comment or email me. There are hundreds of computer professionals in Nepal, who would make you clear whether you are being cheated or not.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to give me your views.

Update:

Recently I heard from my friend "Matrika" that the company people were afraid when he asked the questions what I have posted above in blog about the jobs they were saying they will provide. The company people was nervous to give answers about training course details and people who are taking training. Its nice move.. that we found a fraud and warn them :) that we are conscious Nepali Citizen.


Thanks Matrika for you queries and Helping us to identify the fraud organizations. I don't want to disclose the website of that company but for all be safe and careful.


Thanks for reading once again. Comments appreciated below. 

What are the Online Jobs that can be done in Nepal?

Hi all,

After a certain long gap, I am here to present you an article which will give you light on "Online Jobs" that can be done in Nepal and of course getting paid and also obstacles on getting paid. I have been doing a lot of researches lately and trying to get some opportunities for all people of developing country like ours,  who wants to do something and make earnings. But besides having a lot of talented people here, our country still suffers from unemployment problem and various other issues. I am very sad to say that though we have potential, we don't have opportunity and show our potential to the world.

Today I am writing about the Online Jobs that can be done in Nepal and its difficulties which is of course in  getting paid. And yes also some light on Crowd Sourcing (Next big wave to come).

Many people have heard about the online jobs. Some people says we can't get money doing online jobs, they are only rumors. And some don't believe that one can make earning doing online jobs. When I was on college also, I tried to do many online jobs and get paid. I will share about it too. But the bottom line is, there are lot of "Online Tasks" (better to say this way), when you do it you will get paid. And Yes there is possibilities of doing online tasks and making money from it. Let's discuss these things in brief so that we all understand it quiet easily.

What are Online Jobs?

The tasks that are done online via internet are online jobs / tasks. The online task could be anything from data entry jobs, digitizing the texts from image, advertising google ads to any small tasks that needs human interaction and involvement. There are tones of work that are produced in offices and it is being unmanageable to hire a lot of employee for these jobs. So they just make their jobs / tasks online and allow different users from different location to participate and do these works and are paid according to their work.

So, for the question if there are online jobs or not, the answer is definitely YES. There are online tasks / jobs and there are people who make living with these earnings.

Online Job in Nepal

There are some sites, which promise to give a online job including affilate programs, advertising, data entry jobs etc. I have seen few of them after searching in google but I am not sure whether they are truly doing their job of providing online jobs to uplift the people's income or not. If any of you have ever been through these jobs, please post me on comments regarding your experience or mail me to thamelstreet@gmail.com. 

The most followed program for online earning in Nepal is Adsense program. Please visit this site to know more about Adsense program. It is always easy to do any online job that are available in the internet. But the actual problem comes when you try to get paid for your work. Go through different guides for getting payment stuffs and cycles in Nepal. The bottom line is you will get paid from google. They provide you a check when you account balance reaches $100. To cash that check you need to remit your check through your local bank which has remittance facility.

Similarly, there is new term "Cloud Computing" which is growing rapidly these days. In upcoming years or two, all the developing nations would be targeted as the worker for doing micro tasks. The Developed countries companies are shifting their technology to follow a Cloud Computing or Crowd Sourcing.

It means that the big task that are generated in developed countries are broken in smaller pieces and are sent to group of crowd for accomplishment. After each task is accomplished, they are reunited together and solution for a problem is generated though the use of crowd. There is so huge opportunity for Nepali people or say most people from developing countries to work as a part of crowd worker.

Learn from India, How they are growing?

India our neighborhood country is developing so fast. They are using modern technologies for providing employment to all people and uplift their daily life. I guess you guys have heard about Mechanical Turk. If not it a platform created by Amazon.com which gives work to all micro workers. Check out it's website. You can log into it as Worker if you want to work or Log as Requester if you want your work to be done. Work on different hits and you will earn as you work. The Mechanical Turk has huge number of workers who work from world wide and 1/3 rd part of these workers are from India. Mturk has also facilitate to the workers of Indian to pay their balance directly in Indian Rupees.

Mechanical Turk in Nepal?

Yes of course you can work in mturk and earn dollar. But problem in Nepal is that, Amazon has no rules or any sort of flexibility for providing payment system in Nepal. May be they don't knw that there are huge  worker force potential from Nepal or I guess We are not drawing enough attention to Mturk. If we succeeded on drawing attention, it would be easier for us to work and get paid as in India. But don't worry,  for our country, there is something really good going for us. Time will tell us what good thing is.

Conclusion

What I want to say from this article is that, we need to know what is Crowd Sourcing and How can our country be developed through this technology. There is huge work coming to developing countries like ours and most african countries. So, be prepared for this new exciting events. Sooner, we shall be uplifting ourselves as a whole country. I know there are huge talent Nepali fellows all over the world living only their own luxury life but they lack patriotism which is causing this beautiful Country (NEPAL) to be underdeveloped though we have diversity in nature, cultural heritage, and many more.
