3. Work Schedule:
4 to 8 hours per day, 5 to 6 days per week, ideally starting at 15:00 Eastern European time (EET).

4. Payment:

The payment will be made weekly, exclusively based on TimeDoctor reports, every Sunday night or Monday morning EET, through PayPal:

Following two months – $3/hour;
After the first 3.5 months you should be able to assume more demanding projects that would pay more. A fix payment and commission would be negotiable based on your performance AND passion.
