remotely and submit proof of task completion. They perform various tasks like
data entry, surveys, data processing, transcription and sharing content on
social media.
Many websites offer micro jobs, but few are genuine
and pay a fair market rate.
These platforms have thousands of micro tasks on their jobs section; the idea is to perform as many tasks as possible to earn more. You can make 2 to 5 dollars per hour. Websites such as Microworkers, Sproutgigs, Ysense and Rapidworker are some of the most rated and trusted micro jobs sites.
