I’m a US citizen but I am currently based in Argentina so $20 goes a long way.

I’ve signed up for quite a few sites and platforms online (Upwork, UserTesting, Dscout, Appen) but no luck. Also quite a few job applications from everything from web dev to customer service and not much from that yet.

Anyway I have a good bit of marketable skills so I’m sure I can make something work but have just been struggling a lot.

I can do:

• Web Development - React.js sites mostly, usually alongside Node.js, Next.js, Firebase and good old JS/CSS/HTML - Github is JohnFuhrm12

• Translation/Transcription - My native language is English but I am also fluent in Spanish and have decent Portuguese skills as well - I’ve given classes before as well

• Customer Support - I have a year of experience with a call center/social media management job that I had in Colombia, can do anything bilingual as well

If you have any ideas or advice let me know and I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks!

I’m a programmer and easily get 20-30 dollars per day. In my country I’d need to 10x that to live comfortably. Makes me want to consider moving to Argentina haha.

You wouldnt be super comfortable like that but you could do it. Minimum wage here is less than $200 a month. Many people dont even make that.

If you made $800-$1000 a month here you would do great though.
