Additional income as a single parent with TheONE

You just got through a divorce or, in the worst case, the death of your spouse. Suddenly you have a minimum income as a single parent with one or more children. Earning something extra is difficult because most jobs require you to be able to work at least from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. or from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. And this is also a variable work schedule that you have no control over yourself.

Who brings and picks up the children from school, and who feeds them? Not to mention that they also have to go to tutoring or want to attend ballet lessons. You don't have the time or the money for it. Working from home via a live video connection on your Smartphone or computer can be a solution for you.

As a single parent you always run out of time and money

For people who haven't experienced it, it can sometimes be incomprehensible. The ever cheerful and energetic person who was full of life and always had advice and support suddenly doesn't show up anymore and doesn't have the time and money to do something nice anymore. You know that in the morning you have to prepare the food for the children, then take them to school, do the laundry, clean up the house, and then pick up the children again.

It doesn't stop there because you help them with their homework, bring one to soccer and the other to dance lessons, and when you get home, you start cooking. After dinner, you want to spend half an hour together, and once they are in bed, you calculate on a piece of paper how long it takes you to save up to buy the new shoes for both children. You know that their feet grow faster than you can save money, but maybe... with a bit of luck, you'll get it done.

You don't have to be an expert to earn money with TheONE

Some people have questions about what it's like to be a single parent. They don't want complaints on some blogs. They want to talk to someone who is in the same situation.

Why would strangers call you via live video and pay for it?

Every day, Google has billions of searches. This number keeps rising because people can't find what they're looking for anymore. Imagine if you want to go on holiday to London and want to know some nice restaurants. You Googled "nice restaurants in London", but unfortunately. The first three results are sponsored, so they will probably not be the best.

The other results are at least one year old, and since a restaurant exists on average only two years, you are not sure if they still exist. Let alone that they are really fun. Who do you trust more when it comes to recommending a good restaurant? Google, or the person who looks you in the eye, assess who you are, knows the local environment, and then gives advice?

That's why people from all over the world will call you and pay a small amount per minute for your advice so that you can buy those new shoes for both children.

Anything you earn can be paid out immediately if the amount is higher than $20. The processing time is approximately 14 days, but in some European countries, this can also be 24 hours.
