Short Tasks

One of the odd jobs I do from working at home is short tasks. There are plenty of sites out there that let you do micro tasks for some extra money. A few short tasks sites that I'm a part of are Clickworker, Mturk, and Microworkers. My favorite tasks to do are web research, data entry, and surveys. While I enjoy completing short tasks, the downside is that they only pay a few cents and sometimes the tasks can take longer than expected. But in this day and age, every cent helps and short tasks contribute to my income. Do you work short tasks? If so, what are your favorites?

I haven't tried any of those. I do sometimes write short articles. That pays very little as well. Web research sounds kind of interesting. And data entry. I do enough surveys already.

@paigea , web research might interest me, depending on how much the fees are.

@marlina I am guessing pretty low. And depending on how good one is at searching, it could be quite time consuming.

@paigea Web research and data entry are my favorite type of tasks. They're fairly easy to do.

I have done some of these sites in the past. I also have done Textbroker, which does take longer, and some research, but pays more.

@GardenGerty I also write for Textbroker. I agree that it does pay more, yet can take longer due to the client's guidelines.

@marlina Not may people may use short tasks because of the low pay and time consumption.

I haven't tried any. I think I will have to check into it. I might as well try. Every penny counts.

@Courtlynn I still use Swagbucks and I used to use Inbox Dollars, but quit that because I was hardly earning anything.

Im have microworkers but i dont do tasks there anymore. I got bored and the pay is not worth it. You can actually check other sites if this is what you enioy like virtual bee.
