Unfortunately, 2020 was not the best year for me in terms of work, and I found myself without means of subsistence. The opportunity for remote work without location constraints piqued my interest, and many websites offered ways to earn at least some money. From my experience, while searching for income online, I would close pages with offers for graphic design, translations, and other similar tasks, as these required skills and education that I did not have. Many copywriting sites charged fees for access to orders. I decided to look for work without any investment. Unfortunately, alongside reliable resources, I "had the luck" of encountering fraudulent websites before I found the copywriting exchange Advego. The work of a copywriter involves writing articles for businesses, texts for websites, and landing pages. I registered on the platform and began searching for orders. Not all sections of the exchange are available to newcomers. At first, I completed the simplest tasks that paid 10-50 rubles, which took no more than 15 minutes to complete. The types of tasks included: • voting on a website; • likes on social media; • reviews on websites. After passing a test in the Russian language, I, as a performer, gained access to more complex and better-paying tasks. I tried to perform my work well, increasing my rating and finding regular clients through the white list. You can withdraw money starting from 500 rubles, and since September 2022, the site's commission is 15%. Self-employed performers have advantages when withdrawing funds — reduced bank fees, legal income, and quick withdrawals within 1-2 days. The site has a professional support team that clearly answers questions and makes fair decisions in disputes with clients. Advego has a block of publicly available orders that can be taken up immediately, as well as orders approved through a tender. More expensive tasks include: • writing an article on a given topic; • product descriptions for website landing pages; • writing SEO articles based on keywords; • translating or writing text in a foreign language. It makes sense that a portfolio and high rating increase a performer's chances of winning a tender. Over two years, my rating has become Expert. I have already set up my search for orders starting from 500 rubles and a price of 150 rubles per 1000 characters. An approved application from a client allows the performer to start working. A specific number of hours is allocated for task completion, and the conditions and technical assignment are available in the job card. Communication with the client is conducted only through the site by clicking on "Discuss Work" in the order card. The completed work must be checked for plagiarism. The site has the Advego Plagiatus program, which allows you to check text for uniqueness online. Registered performers can use this resource for free if they have enough characters in their account. The administration credits daily spent characters depending on the rating. As an Expert, I am entitled to 30,000 characters, which can be purchased if necessary. You can also earn on Advego by participating in the affiliate program and selling your work through the article shop. I had one piece of work that was not accepted, but I revised it and put it up for sale, waiting for a buyer. For
