This page displays a large list of companies that offer small tasks (aka “Micro Jobs”) that can be done online. Micro jobs are also known as micro freelance or micro tasks. In addition to the remote jobs you’ll find on SkipTheDrive, the opportunities below are also great for those looking for a side hustle.
The payment earning amount listed for each service reflects what was stated on the company’s site. Many companies are transparent with their pay rates, yet some are not. For some companies there are too many variables involved to state the pay rate for tasks, surveys, etc. It is up to you to do your due diligence and research any company you choose to work for. Sites such as Glassdoor and Indeed offer company reviews.
New micro job opportunities pop up all the time, so this page will continue to be updated.
