If you have a little one at home — you know how difficult it can be to get things done. But just because you have a household filled with chatter and unpredictable schedules doesn’t mean that you can’t work from home. Short tasks, also called micro-jobs or pay-per-task jobs, are the perfect way for busy moms to earn some extra money while still being readily available for their kiddos.
A micro-task job is any job or assignment that can be completed in a short amount of time. The tasks that can be completed vary in nature (writing, editing, taking surveys, transcription, watching a video, online research, etc.), as does the pay. But the reason this is such an excellent opportunity for moms is that the tasks can be done at any time, and the majority of short jobs don’t require phone work, which requires a quiet household.
If you have kiddos running around your house, here are 25 small task sites that allow you to work whenever you have free time and make extra money on the side.

1. ACD Direct
ACD Direct pays individuals to answer phone calls, email inquiries, and chat messages. Agents can make their own schedules and work as much or as little as needed. New agents earn $0.25 per talk minute and, with bonuses and incentives, can earn up to $0.35 per talk minute; rates vary for chat and email inquiries. With ACD Direct, you’ll work as an independent contractor and receive paychecks twice a month via direct deposit. They do not accept workers from California, Delaware, Massachusetts, Louisiana, West Virginia, Wyoming, Vermont, Washington, and South Dakota.
- ACD Direct gets a 3.3-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com
2. Amazon Mechanical Turk
Over at Amazon’s MTurk, you can make money online working on HITS (Human Intelligence Tasks). A few of the tasks that I saw listed were transcribing information from a business card to a form with a payout of $0.02. Another task was transcribing a voicemail from audio to text (audio length of three hours), a payout of $76.19. After completing the task and the requester approves your work, the money goes into your Amazon payments account or onto an Amazon gift card.
Amazon MTurk tends to get mixed reviews. Some people complained of low payouts, and others have said their work wasn’t approved, so they didn’t get paid. We have no way of knowing the quality of their work and if the denial of payment was justified, so read through reviews before deciding to join.
- Amazon’s MTurk receives a 2.6-star rating out of 5 on Trustpilot
3. Appen
Appen is a virtual workspace where you can earn money by completing simple tasks on your computer. Duties include Internet research, data collection, data categorization, content creation, content moderation, surveys, and other projects and microtasks that can be done anywhere in the world.
- Appen receives a 3.7-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com

With Byron, you can work on administrative tasks any time of the day or night. According to their website, some assistants work one hour per month, while others work up to 160 hours per month. Byron hires 1099 workers from the US, Latin America, and the Philippines. You must also have at least five years of administrative experience and a college education. Depending on your experience, Byron pays US workers $20-$28 per hour every two weeks via PayPal.
- Byron gets a 4.4-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com
5. Cambly

Datavio.ai, which is part of iSoftStone, hires people from around the globe to work on short tasks like app testing, annotation, transcription, data labeling, translation, and more. Each project has different skill and education requirements and varying pay rates. One data collection project required users to work 30-40 hours per week and paid $25 per hour. All the projects I viewed were independent contracting roles; some included training, while others did not.
- iSoftStone gets a 3.4-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com
9. Fancy Hands
Fancy Hands hires US-based virtual assistants to complete small tasks like making phone calls, scheduling appointments, tracking down the best price for a product or service, internet research, and data entry. Tasks are worth anywhere from $3.00-$7.00 per task and go up from there. Payments are made via Dwolla every other Tuesday. With this job, you can work on your own schedule, day or night. One thing to note. I’ve heard some people say that the platform is saturated with workers, so there isn’t very much work available. Be sure to read the most current reviews before you take the time to apply.
- Fancy Hands receives a 3.3-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor

According to their website, the average study or survey is 30 minutes in length, and the average payout is $75 per study.

While not promoted as a short task site, Rev offers task-based positions for transcribers, translators, and closed captioners that can be done anytime. The pay range for translators is by language minute, so, for instance, Germany pays $3.00 a minute.

- TELUS Digital gets a 3.6-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com

Once you find a task that appeals to you, send your proposal to the business owner and wait to see if you’re chosen for the assignment.

Danny Ivy started on Upwork and generated six figures in one year—you can read his Upwork success story here.

If you have short periods of quiet time in your schedule (perhaps during your child’s nap time), you can make money testing websites and apps on UserTesting. With this platform, you create an account and browse projects. Once you find a project that fits your demographic, you’ll take a screener test, and if you’re a match, you’ll get an invite to the project. UserTesting has short-, medium-, and longer-length projects that pay anywhere from $4-$120. Payments come every 14 days via PayPal.

- Vericant receives a 4-star rating out of 5 on Glassdoor.com
Last Words About Short Task Jobs
A few last words about micro-task sites.
There are other micro job sites out there, but not all are reputable. If you find another short task site, please do your research to ensure that they are legit and worth your time. Trustpilot, Glassdoor, Indeed, and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) are excellent places to search for reviews. Also, look to see when the app or website was last updated. Apps and websites that are stagnant on the web are susceptible to hackers placing viruses, malware, and trojans, which can potentially steal your personal information.
Because opportunities will not always be available, you should consider signing up for multiple sites. This way, you have a better chance of consistently having tasks to choose from. But before you register, you’ll want to create an email account just for these opportunities. Many of these sites send a lot of emails, and it will be easier to manage if you have a separate email account just for your short task jobs.
All of these are independent contracting roles, so you’ll need to set aside money for self-employment taxes.
Lastly, short tasks will not make you rich, but they are an easy way to earn a little extra cash without having to get a job. After all, you’re most likely online, so instead of scrolling through Facebook or Instagram, use your time to make some extra money.

It looks very suspicious. There is no information about the company, and there is no way to contact them. They have vague job descriptions, and there’s no presence of the company other than their website.

Oh my goodness I do not know if it is me or what but CrowdFlower is horrible! I tried it just now because of the recommendation and I couldn’t log in to the task. It said it couldn’t find my email address. I don’t know if they need to update the script on their site or what (which looks criminally old BTW) but I’m going to try out OneSpace first. Thanks for the articles, I work full time but going to try to earn some on the side to pay off some bills that came up recently out of the blue and some moving expenses that will be coming up. Thanks again!
Hey Ashley, Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ve never tried CrowdFlower, so maybe some other people can speak about their experience with them.
the same happened to me
Holly I Love because is Excellent you Work in this Website… In the moment that I enter captive all my attention and I was interested in reading a lot of information (it is very rare that I passed that to me)…
I must say that when I saw the date of publication of this post I became very unmotivated, but when I saw that you still answered the comments and updated the site, I admired you much more. I CONGRATULATE YOU.
Off Topic: (I USE TRANSLATORS)
I am to Latin America and my english is very bad (80%), I need a website that is easy to understand and use, simple tasks that help me generate a few dollars…
I am in the United States but I would like to be recommended a specific site to make money. 40$ or 50$ semanals with task or jobs easy to perform.

Glad you’re enjoying the site, Sandra!
Hello,
I have been a VA for over 6 years. Recently Upwork (formerly Odesk) has changed it policy and I found out I can no longer work when I came back from a hiatus. The nice thing about Upwork is that people from all over the world can work here for people all over theworld too. Can you please recommend work sites like this? I found out that many US based work from home do not hire people outside the US and you need a 1099. I love working online and on graveyard shifts. Tips are highly appreciated ( I did look up the other websites mentioned above).
Thank you.
Have you tried Freelancer, Guru, People Per Hour, Toptal, iFreelance, Project 4 Hire, Outsourcely, or Aquent?
Hi Holly
Thank you sharing such great information. Everything is so helpful and informative. I am semi-retired and I would like to work remotely. During the week I take care of our granddaughter but I would like to earn extra money and the Task Jobs seem to offer the best opportunity for me. However, I have one question concerning Crowdflower. Do you know if it is possible to pick the tasks you would like to work on and complete?
Thank you
Barbara
Hi Barbara, I believe you can choose which tasks you want to complete. Good luck and keep me posted!
I use Field Agent, the jobs vary in what is asked; the key is to reserve the assignment as quickly as possible and then complete the job. Somethings have been difficult to complete with small children (i.e. beer store audit), however I sometimes just pop them in the shopping cart while I complete the assignment.
Thank you so much for compiling the information! I will definately check out these platforms!
Thanks for sharing, Monica. I’ve been wanting to try Field Agent out — haven’t gotten around to it yet.
Great list Holly! I remember working on some of these sites when I first started working from home. They don’t pay much but it adds to the bottom line. :)
Thanks for putting this together! No doubt I’m sharing this one too!
Have a great weekend!

Are there any proofreading or spell check jobs that hire with absolutely no experience? I do really well with proofreading or spell check, just haven’t tried in a job setting.

tell me which one is suitable for college students?? suggest me
Hi Naveen, Here are some good options for college students: https://www.theworkathomewoman.com/jobs-college-students/
Spare5 is another great option. I’m from Venezuela, and as you well know, is very difficult for me to get dollars, so I started to looking a way to make money just using my computer. Spare 5 is a short task site too, and you can download the app for Iphone on the app store and also work from a computer, in its web app. Tasks are very intuitive and each one has instructions, in case you can’t understand or just don’t know how to do it.
To sign up: open spare5.com, then click on “start tasking”, select “launch webtasks” and fill the blank spaces. I write this because at first I didn’t know where to sign up, just in case anyone could have the same confusion as me.
PD: Sorry for my basic english.
Thanks for sharing this, Micaela!

Good luck!
I’m interested in applying for this type of employment, while I’m in between finding a job. Although I don’t understand who to discuss it with, or what kind of tasks are being completed. Sounds great if it’s legit.
Each site offers different types of tasks; just depends on what you want to do. Good luck and keep us posted!
This site allows you to earn via small tasks you can do online. its a great alternative to fiverr and all the rest of the sites you mentioned.
What site you didn’t mention it

pls how do we cash the money,when they don’t even have our own account details,how do I get my money?
Depending on the method of payment — you’ll either have to set up a PayPal account or open a bank account. You can also cash checks at check cashing stores and retailers like 7-11 and Walmart. They will charge you a fee based on the amount of the check.
Holly, another nice read. Thanks for the pointers.

Hallo Mohamed,
I live in Africa and it is sooo frustrating for us because we are locked out of most online jobs. But microworkers.com and crowdflower through clixsense is working for me. At crowdflower it will take some time to get tasks which will eventually raise your level and you will get more tasks, be patient and you will see results.
All the best.
Thanks for sharing, Rehema!
CampusTasker is another great Task site. CampusTasker is a site built for college students (Taskers) wanting to make a little extra cash doing odd jobs. Taskers can create accounts and list their skills, task requesters can then post tasks they need done and Taskers are then able to “Bid” on the tasks that they wish to perform.
It’s a good chance…if there will be good payment
Thanks for sharing but I think earning on these micro task website is very slow, well still good for beginners
I think micro-tasks are great for beginners! They don’t take any special skills and they’re a good way to earn money in between looking for jobs, polishing your resume, and interviewing.
And if you use Task Rabbit — you can make pretty decent money — although you won’t be working online.
I personally use Swaybucks and it helps support my Starbucks habit! I wrote about it here in case you’re interested: https://www.theworkathomewoman.com/free-starbucks/
