How do you use Sordcloud?Members register on the site and create a profile and select from specific categories what they are willing to do to earn cash. Members can also post todo items at a price they can afford. Example I need new brakes on my car and can only pay $200.00. Once a request is posted an email alert is sent out to members who's profile match the request. Job posters are also able to have the request placed on their social media accounts for their friends and family to participate. What can I post?Posting a task or project on Sordcloud is completely free! However, posted tasks must only offer to pay someone for a service it CAN NOT be requesting payment for or advertising for a specific service. For Example: This is ok: "Put up new drywall in my house." This is not ok: "I can put up new drywall in your house." This is considered an offer and will require a payment that can be activated at the time of posting for seven days. As long as the Buyer (the individual who posts the task) is willing to pay someone else, the task will remain open until a bidder / worker has been awarded the bid.

It's a low-cost solution with great results.
