Spare 5 is another popular platform with both a website and mobile app (so you can hustle while on the go).

Most Spare 5 tasks focus on “deriving the meaning of, or providing human insight into, audio, video, or image files.” Expect to annotate images, provide keywords/categories, and proofread/complete linguistic tasks.

Spare 5 gigs generally pay a few cents to under a dollar, and payments are made on Friday via PayPal. The minimum payout cashout threshold is $1.
2. REMOTASKS
Remotasks is a newer entrant to the work of crowdsourced micro jobs, and they also pay less on average than companies like Appen or Lionbridge.

However, if you can’t make it into other platforms but want to make some extra beermoney, Remotasks might help hold you over until you can find better work.
Popular jobs on Remotasks include image annotation, data collection, identifying spam, moderating content, and transcription.
Payments are made via PayPal, but you will probably earn under $10/hour on this platform so keep that in mind.
If you’re looking websites like Remotasks, your best bet is probably Clickworker, Appen, or Amazon MTurk.
3. FIGURE EIGHT

Figure Eight is yet another popular way to make money by completing micro tasks.
A veteran to the industry, Figure Eight has an interesting history. The company used to be called CrowdFlower way back when, and Figure Eight was recently acquired by Appen for $300 million.

Figure Eight jobs are slightly different than Appen. Social media categorization, content moderation, business listing verification, and image tagging are some of the jobs you can expect to encounter.
Tasks on Figure Eight can pay between a few cents to a couple of bucks, so you might be able to make an extra $100 in beermoney every month if you use this platform diligently.
4. ZEERK

Zeerk brands themselves as a micro job and freelance portal where you can offer or browse gigs ranging from $3 to $200.
 |

In other words, Zeerk is an alternative to Fiverr that focuses on micro tasks. This is the platform where people buy likes, followers, upvotes, social media accounts, and other semi-questionable online transactions.
If you’ve ever tried to make money on Fiverr with these sorts of offerings but find the marketplace is saturated, Zeerk might be less competitive.
5. KASHKICK
One final micro task site you can try is Kashkick, a popular get-paid-to platform

On Kashkick, you can make money by completing various micro jobs like:
Answering paid surveys
Watchings ads
Playing games
Referring your friends
Surveys are the main way to make money, but there’s also a lucrative download section where you can earn $5 to $50 for trying different apps and services.
Kashkick pays you with free PayPal money, and you can cash out once you earn $10.
6. FANCY HANDS
I actually mentioned Fancy Hands in my post on gig economy apps, and it’s one of the most popular platforms out there for finding work as a virtual assistant.

Popular virtual assistant tasks on Fancy Hands include making phone calls on someone’s behalf, scheduling appointments, making travel arrangements, and data entry.
Fancy Hand tasks pay $3 to $7 to start, but you can earn more as you work with the same client or if you are promoted to a managerial position and manage other virtual assistants.
Being a virtual assistant is probably one of the higher paying micro task jobs possible, and you can also scale your income higher than a lot of these websites if you find the right businesses to work for.
You must have an audio headset to work for Fancy Hands. Payments are also made biweekly through Dwolla.
