How to make money online doing microjobs
The new buzz word for online workers in 2013 is microjobbing and micro workers are in high demand. Microjobbing refers to any job that typically takes from anywhere from one minute to fifteen minutes to complete.
So where are the micro jobs? Many of us who work from home or telecommute find ourselves doing microjobs automatically: responding to emails, business queries, writing short articles or business letters and doing product reviews. The new trend however; is online job sites that cater to business owners, e-commerce operators, podcasters, bloggers and professional freelance writers who need short small time assistance in their own work.
So can you make a living from microjobbing? Some people actually are, while others see these types of jobs as fillers, or as a way to break into working online. Actors, Artists and Writers do especially well at microjobbing sites that let them set up their own services, and determine how often they work.
