Are you looking for the best microjob sites online? Then this article is for you. My name is Muhammad Ali, and I’ve tested hundreds of different ways to make some extra money online. So, I decided to show you six realistic ways to do microtasks and earn some extra cash.
Best Micro Job Sites
Below are six platforms where you can find microtasks. They have different functions depending on your preferences and location. You can use one, all, or as many of them as you want. It’s entirely up to you.
1. Timebucks
The first platform I want to show you is called Timebucks. If you’re looking for small social media-type tasks, this is my favorite site. It pays more than most other similar platforms and has a low payout threshold.
- You can join from all countries
- Only need to earn $5 to withdraw
- Offers many other ways to earn to boost your earnings
To do small tasks, go to the Earn section, then click on Tasks. You’ll find tasks such as typing a number, signing up for something, joining a Telegram channel, or visiting a website, among others. The instructions and payment info are visible. The pay is decent compared to similar platforms.
2. Sproutgigs
The next platform is called Sproutgigs. It’s a very popular microtask platform specialized in these kinds of jobs. It currently has almost 600 jobs, and many can be done from any country.
⚠️ Be critical here:
- Not all tasks pay well
- Some tasks are potentially unethical (e.g., creating Gmail accounts for others)
I do not recommend tasks like creating verified Gmail accounts—you never know what they’ll be used for, and you’ll only get paid like 8 cents.
Also, Sproutgigs has a very high withdrawal fee, up to 20%, so you get even less of the already small pay. It’s not my favorite platform, but it’s one of the biggest and most popular. Whether it’s right for you depends on your personal preferences.
3. Freecash
Freecash is compatible with both desktop and mobile devices (Android and iOS apps). The platform offers simple earning tasks that include:
- Completing surveys
- Downloading & testing apps
- Playing games for rewards
- Signing up for free trials
- Referring friends for bonuses
Freecash is available worldwide and offers quick cashouts through PayPal, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and even gift cards. You can earn as little as $0.10 and still withdraw, which makes it beginner-friendly.
4. Hive Micro
Hive Micro works both on desktop and through mobile apps (Android and iOS). Tasks here are usually AI training tasks or data entry.
- Draw a box around objects
- Categorize scenes
- Transcribe audio
- Track objects in videos
You can join from basically all countries. Payments are made weekly via PayPal or Bitcoin, offering great flexibility.
5. OneForma
OneForma offers a variety of microtasks, such as:
- Data collection
- Translation
- Correction
- Judging
- Post-editing
- Annotation
Some tasks pay up to $9 per video, depending on your location and the type of task. It’s available worldwide, though some tasks are limited to specific locations. You need to apply and get approved before starting.
It doesn’t have as many tasks as other platforms, but some of them pay well and are worth checking out.
6. Clickworker
Clickworker offers a broad variety of small tasks and microjobs and is available in most countries. It has flexible payout options.
Examples of tasks:
- Taking pictures at certain locations
- Small data entry tasks (work from home)
It has a decent number of tasks. I haven’t had the best experience with their support, but many users like the variety of tasks available.
What Are Microtasks?
Before I discuss the six options I want to show you, let’s first explain what microtasks are and what you can expect if you’re new to them. Microtasks can be defined in many different ways.
How I define it—and how most microtasks platforms do—is that it’s small, like, for example, social media tasks. It can also be a type of data entry task.
This guide is not focused on things like paid surveys or paid offers. In my definition, that is not actually what I define as microtasks. If you’re interested in surveys and paid offers, I do have plenty of information on that. You can watch some of my other videos or check the link below for an overview of the best survey and get-paid-to sites in different countries.
Here, we’ll focus on platforms that offer small social media tasks, small data entry tasks, and similar jobs. The advantage is that it’s something you can do no matter where you live. You can always find tasks on some of these platforms.
Just be aware:
- Microtasks do not always pay very well.
- Be critical—some tasks may pay decently, others very little.
- Some platforms allow tasks created by other users—this can sometimes lead to unethical tasks.
So always be selective with the tasks you accept. Do not expect to get rich or earn a full-time income. But with the right expectations, it can be an easy way to earn a bit extra.
Final Thoughts
As you can see, there are quite a few different types of microtasks you can do completely for free. Just remember to:
- Have the right expectations
- Be critical and selective with the tasks you accept
- Choose the platforms that fit your preferences
