3. Pick up tasks on Amazon's Mechanical Turk
Even in the age of automation, some jobs still require a human touch. Companies often outsource these jobs to a crowdsourcing marketplace like Amazon's Mechanical Turk. As a "worker", the tasks you will be assigned can be tedious - tagging images, transcribing videos, classifying receipts - and can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. Temp employers, or "requesters," set a price for each task and approve the finished product before paying you. This can leave room for scams, so do your research.
Online communities like the Turkkit and Turker Nation subreddits can steer you away from fickle sellers and give you a realistic idea of how much money you can expect to make. Read more about Mechanical Turk as a way to make money online fast.
