How To Get Online Jobs
Do you want an online job? If so, you’ll be pleased to know that there are plenty of opportunities out there. The work can be pretty easy but be warned that these jobs tend to pay very little.
To earn the money you need, you might have to take on more than one job. The application process for these jobs is usually easy, and sometimes you can start on the very same day.
The amount of commitment required is fairly low, and you can usually fit these jobs into your schedule. Read on for some ideas of where you can find online work.
Data Entry
Online data entry is increasingly required, especially for people who work from home. Companies often allow online workers to access their infrastructure, and you could be working in basic transcription, for example. Most transcription requires more experience than data entry positions do, however.
Online Jury Duty
Some attorneys set up a mock jury when they are preparing for trials. Because getting people in the community where the trial will take place can be expensive, they sometimes use online jurors. When working as an online juror, you will be exposed to video and audio recordings, be asked questions or read documents.
Before being accepted as an online juror, you will be asked detailed questions to find out if you match the profile of actual jurors they will employ. Because there are a limited number of positions available in this field, sign up for several companies to up your chances of being chosen.
Short Tasks and Micro Jobs
These are usually small online tasks that pay from a few cents to a few dollars. Sometimes landing a micro job is a simple as clicking a link on a company’s website to choose the task you wish to do. Because the jobs pay so little, the idea is to do as many as possible in as little time as possible.
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is a most well-known example of this kind of site, but there are crowd-sourced projects that can employ a large number of workers to do small jobs as part of a bigger project.
One of the earliest types of micro job that could be done from home is the completion of surveys. This kind of work still exists. You could also offer your services in a marketplace where buyers look for people to carry out specific kinds of services.
One potential pitfall with these kinds of jobs is that some companies have a policy of paying you only once you’ve reached a certain level of earnings, such as $50. That might mean doing many jobs before being paid out.
Search Engine Evaluation
Search engine evaluators analyse Internet search results and provide feedback to the employer. To do this kind of work requires that you be a good communicator, and knowledgeable about the Internet and some specific areas of specialization. Search evaluators are also called other names such as Internet judge, Internet assessor, or ads quality rater.
