At first, I thought the whole 'outlier' thing wasn't real. But when I made real money for the first time, it felt amazing.

I joined Outlier a few month ago and have been active there in the last month. It is a great place for a side job, and it is possible to earn upward of 1000$ per week if they assign you a good project.

I've worked on other platforms, but there is absolutely no support available. At Outlier, you're really getting into an online community.

The work itself is fun. I'm learning about such a broad variety of topics because every time you see a task, you learn something new. I just learned some cool Swiss recipes for apple fritters.
