24 Short Task Sites for Making Money From Home

Author: Holly Reisem Hanna

February 18, 2024 122 Comments

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 24 small task sites that allow you to work whenever you have free time, and make extra money on the side.

1. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is a microtask platform where you can earn points called SB, which you can redeem for gift cards from places like Starbucks, Walmart, PayPal and Visa. With Swagbucks, you can earn SB by playing games , answering questions, shopping online, and even surfing the web using their search bar. If you refer your friends — you can earn even more. New users will receive a $10.00 sign-up bonus! The thing I like about Swagbucks is you can redeem your earnings with as little as $3.00 in your account.

2. InboxDollars

With InboxDollars , US residents can earn cash for taking surveys, reading emails, playing games, redeeming coupons, searching the web, and shopping online. Membership is free, and you’ll earn $5.00 for signing up. Your account must reach a $15 threshold before your payment is issued. Payment options include PayPal, American Express or Visa Pre-Paid cards, or gift cards from major retailers. InboxDollars is open to US residents 18 years and older. If you’d like to know more, check out our full review of InboxDollars .

3. Course Hero

Course Hero is a short task platform that hires native English speakers from the US, UK, Canada, and Australia to tutor high school and college students with course-specific questions. Individuals must have a bachelor’s degree. Tutors earn an average of $3.00 per question, earning around $12-$20 per hour. Work as many hours as you’d like; all you need is a reliable internet connection.

• Course Hero has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau

4. TELUS International

TELUS International , which acquired Lionbridge, hires independent contractors to work on microtasks like translation, transcription, rating ads, annotation, search engine evaluation, and testing. You must first prove your proficiency by taking and passing relevant evaluation tests (which I’ve heard are pretty challenging). Once they have your evaluation scores, you’ll receive invites to work on available projects. With these gigs, you can work whenever, wherever, and as much as you’d like.

• TELUS International has an A- rating with the Better Business Bureau

Fiverr is a little different in that you don’t search for jobs. Instead, you post tasks you’re willing to complete for $5.00-$10,000. People sell everything from writing services, design services, and voice-over services to making phone calls and videos. Once you make a sale, Fiverr will keep a fee of 20%, and payments will be made via PayPal.

6. 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 denial of payment was justified, so read through reviews before deciding to join.

• Amazon’s MTurk receives a 2.5-star rating on Trustpilot

7. Clickworker

Clickworker is a task site platform where you can get paid for writing, translating, researching, and collecting data.

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 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 sitting on the web stagnant 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.

How to create a remote work schedule (with templates)

Last updated on: February 21, 2024

The moment I’m writing this sentence, around noon, I’m already in the middle of my workday. I work from home, and I tend to follow almost the same work routine every day. So, my workday starts around 8 am or 9 am, therefore I finish around 4 pm or 5 pm. And when it comes to these deep work tasks, such as writing this blog post, I prefer to deal with these assignments during the morning hours and before my lunch break.

Now, if you’re also a remote worker, be sure that adding structure to your workdays helps a lot. With a proper remote work schedule that suits your needs, you’ll be more likely to complete all your tasks on time. In this article, we’ll cover:

• the factors you should have in mind when making a schedule,
• valuable tips on how to create an effective remote schedule, and
• templates for employees with a flexible and those with a fixed schedule.

Table of Contents

What to consider before making a schedule

Once you craft a plan for your telecommuting work, you’ll have a clearer idea of how much time you need for daily tasks and how to prioritize the most significant ones. Thus, you’ll be more realistic about what you’re capable of completing throughout the day. Moreover, you’ll be able to set aside time for your family and friends, which will improve your work-life balance .

Here’s what you should ask yourself before starting to make a remote work schedule:

What time do you work best?

Some people thrive during the morning hours while others flourish in the evening. That’s perfectly fine because we’re not all the same. Our body clocks work differently so that’s why some of us experience productivity dips after lunch and some of us in the morning.

If you’re able to rearrange your tasks as you like, always take this factor into consideration. For instance, if you easily get up in the morning, and you feel refreshed and ready for work, use this time to do your most important tasks. Once your energy levels start to decrease around 2 pm or 3 pm, deal with less vital tasks. The same rule applies to those who enjoy sleeping in and beginning their workdays a bit later. If you’re not a morning lark, don’t feel obliged to wake up extremely early only because some successful business people suggest doing so. Follow your own rhythms, and you’ll have better results.

Where do you work best?

If you find it easier to focus on your tasks when working from home, then you’ll be more productive there, too. In that case, decide where your home office will take place. Having an entire room for this purpose would be ideal. But, if this is not possible, then opt for a quiet corner of a room. If you need more details about the equipment for your home office, we have a blog about the things you’ll need when working from home .

On the other hand, if you’re a social butterfly and don’t enjoy working alone, you can always go to a coworking space. This is a perfect place to meet other remote employees while getting the work done. Or, you can shift between your home office and a nearby coffee shop. Just keep in mind that such a noisy environment might not be a good fit for the times when you have calls or when you have to meet your deadline.

Do you have family members or pets you need to take care of?

Another point to take into account is whether you need to take care of your children, elderly family members, or your pets. For example, if you have to drive your kids to school at 8 am, then schedule your working hours from 9 am. Or else, if you have strict working hours, get up a bit earlier and do this before work.

Once you have all these answers, crafting a remote work schedule will be much easier. So, if you choose to do your job in a coworking space, bear in mind that you’ll need some time for commuting , too. Or, if you decide to work from home, remember to inform your family or partner about your working hours. Furthermore, duties such as walking the dog or driving children to school will occur before or after work.

Let’s take a look at some handy tips on how to make this schedule more convenient for you.

How to create an effective remote work schedule

Some remote workers have flexible working hours , while others have to follow a strict schedule. Therefore, how you structure your workday will depend on whether your working hours are fixed.

Either way, we have invaluable tips for crafting a remote work routine regardless of your working hours .

Set time blocks for your personal activities and outside-of-work hours

If you have the flexibility to choose your hours of work, you can parse job assignments into several working periods with a couple of hours of break in between. Now, during these breaks, you can take care of your personal activities, like walking the dog, dropping kids off at school, or exercising. If you have a fixed schedule, you’ll be able to run these errands before or after work.

To make sure that your colleagues and clients don’t disturb you when you’re away from a computer, add these hours to your schedule and note them as Personal activities/non-work hours. That way, you can enjoy your free time and take care of errands. Besides, you’ll let your colleagues and clients know when you’re not available for calls and meetings. Furthermore, these activities will help you unwind and be more productive at work.

Moreover, this handy trick will ensure you maintain a proper work-life balance. Speaking of which, here’s how Matthew Paxton, the remote worker and founder of Hypernia, described the importance of balancing work and life:

“ I realized that we should be fitting work in our lives, not fitting our lives with work . That’s why I made it a habit to confine everything work-related in my home office. No more checking e-mails first thing in the morning or taking my laptop with me to the dining table. Our hobbies, passions, relationships, and the time we spend taking care of ourselves are all integral to make sure that we are the most productive versions of ourselves. ”

Work on priority tasks first

When beginning your remote workday, it’s only logical to set aside your first hours of work for priority tasks. So, after you’ve finished with your personal activities, and you’ve checked an email for any emergency, be sure to handle all the crucial assignments for at least two hours.

Even better, at the end of each day, write down your priority tasks for tomorrow. Here’s how Reuben Yonatan, a founder of GetVoIP, decides what’s important:

“ I prioritize by A, B, and C list priorities. The A list tasks are ‘need to get done,’ and I’ll set a deadline for those, as well as time to accomplish them. B list are items that are important but can be pushed if needed, so I have a bit more flexibility. C items have to get done at some point, but will be slotted in when they can be. I build my calendar this way and see what fits. You sometimes need to make cuts, but prioritization is the real key. ”

Therefore, in the morning, you’ll have to tackle your A tasks first, then your B assignments.

If you happen to have a daily standup meeting during the morning, you can begin with your priority tasks as soon as the meeting is finished.

Another practical way to learn how to prioritize better is the Eisenhower matrix . This method will teach you how to recognize what’s important and will improve your time management.

Work on less important tasks later

You have completed your priority tasks and now’s the time to start working on other assignments that you regularly have on your plate. Depending on what you do, these can be recurring tasks that you do daily or once per week.

Leave some time for deep work

Cal Newport, an author of many books about technology and culture, says that there are two types of tasks when it comes to knowledge work. So, we have:

• Core tasks : thanks to these assignments, you’ll demonstrate how good you are at what you do. Example: any tasks that your client pays you to do.
• Periphery tasks : those tasks that you have to do, but they don’t provide any sense of how successful you are at work. Example: answering emails.

Although peripheral tasks are important, core tasks are the heart and soul of your job. And what’s the best way to complete these core tasks? Well, you need to perform some deep work , aka activities that involve using your cognitive skills. It’s crucial that you don’t get distracted while embracing deep work. Thus, noise-canceling headphones are your best friend during this time frame.

You should schedule a couple of hours throughout the day for deep work tasks. Ideally, you’d want to do your deep work during the most productive time of the day. If you find it easier to focus on work in the afternoon, then set aside time for deep work from, let’s say, 4 pm to 6 pm.

Book your meetings within one or two days

According to Flexjobs, scheduling all the meetings and calls together, within one or two days of the week, fosters uninterrupted time for work and improves employee productivity. If you book your meetings this way, you’ll have the rest of the week for other tasks. Moreover, since you’ll have non-meeting days, you’ll be able to work without distractions and focus on deep work, too.

Leave gaps in schedule for unplanned activities

You can’t plan every second of the week in advance. Sometimes, you’ll have an unexpected task or something urgent to take care of. Or, maybe you’ll have to go to the dentist or take your dog to the vet.

To prepare yourself for these situations, block at least one open hour per day. Of course, if your day goes by the plan and there isn’t an emergency, you can use this period to do some deep work or make plans for the following week.

Consider having an end-of-workday ritual

Remote employees sometimes find it difficult to unplug after work. Since they don’t perform their work at the office, boundaries between work and personal life can be blurry. This is especially true for those who work from home.

You should be aware that unwinding and not thinking about a job when off duty are crucial steps in preventing burnout . So, how do you make your mind switch off the work mode and start relaxing? One way to do that is to incorporate an end-of-workday ritual .

What activities does this ritual include? Well, you can use your last working hour to check your email and answer any questions. Besides, you can let your remote colleagues know that you’ll be clocking out soon, in case they need anything else from you. In addition, write a to-do list for tomorrow.

A remote work schedule template for flexible working hours

Now that you’ve seen what to incorporate into your remote work schedule, we’ll show you how your working plan may look like when you have flexible working hours.

Download Flexible remote working schedule

In the screenshot above, you’ll notice that daily job tasks are parsed into several sections. Before and after these working sessions, there are time periods called Personal activities/non-work hours. So, if you have an option to arrange your working hours as you like, you can use these free time frames for your private errands, like walking the dog, grocery shopping, exercising, making dinner, and others. Adding these fields to your remote plan is vital in case you want to share your schedule with other coworkers or clients. Therefore, they’ll know not to book any meetings with you during these hours.

Speaking of meetings, you’ll notice that in this plan, Meetings and calls are scheduled only on Monday and Tuesday. Since there are no meetings happening during the other three days of the week, there’s more room for Deep work. Besides, each day includes sessions like Priority tasks and Emails and regular tasks.

As we mentioned earlier, you should always leave some time open for unexpected tasks or personal emergencies. So, this is also covered in the template, as the Open time field.

Finally, we incorporated a block Having a closing ritual here, too. This way, you’ll be reminded when it’s time to clock out.

Remember that you can use this template the way you want. For instance, instead of the name Priority tasks, you can enter the name of your most important tasks for each day. Better yet, craft your weekly plan by personalizing this template.

A remote work schedule template for fixed working hours

If your remote work consists of fixed hours, you’ll have a quite diverse schedule. Instead of dealing with your personal activities throughout the day, you’ll do them either before or after work. But, once you’re done with your workday, you’ll be able to relax and have an entire afternoon for your leisure time.

Download Fixed remote working schedule

In this case, we made a template for an employee who works from 9 am to 5 pm. As you can see, working hours are grouped together here, while personal activities take place in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.

The difference between the first and this template is that the Fixed remote working schedule contains a field named Open time plus a lunch break. This is your reminder to take a break and have some lunch during an hour that’s unscheduled.

Other time blocks are the same, so you have Priority tasks, dealing with Emails and regular tasks, then Meeting and calls on Mondays and Tuesdays. From Wednesday to Friday, you should avoid meetings and focus on Deep work. Since the hours are fixed, a closing ritual happens at an identical time every day. This ensures that you’ll finish your workday properly, on time, then enter your off mode.

Just like with the Flexible remote working schedule, feel free to customize this template as you wish.

Telecommuting provides you with a lot of flexibility. You can perform tasks from your home office, from a park, or a coworking space. For some employees, working remotely also means being able to choose working hours, while for others, the hours are fixed. In both cases, having some kind of weekly structure will do wonders for your productivity. By following a remote work schedule, you’ll finish your job assignments on time and take care of your daily personal errands. Moreover, you’ll be able to spend some time with your family and friends, which plays a significant role in keeping your work-life balance.

✉️ How about you? Do you craft daily or weekly remote work schedules? If so, do you find them helpful?

10 Legit Work-From-Home Websites

Posted: March 24, 2024 | Last updated: March 25, 2024

More and more people are working remotely, from fully remote companies to roles that became work-from-home jobs during the pandemic. Perhaps you’ve been working from home and want to continue doing so. Or maybe you’ve already returned to work and found working from home suits you better. In either case, finding a new job that is remote by design might be your best solution for job satisfaction and work-life balance. Here are some places to look. 

Work From Home Websites

There are several websites specializing in remote job listings that will help with your search. There are also general employment sites that have large work-at-home sections. Here are 10 of the best work-from-home sites for finding remote work:

LinkedIn is probably the most well-known networking site for professionals. It’s also becoming one of the first places people start when looking for a new job. You can search for remote jobs on LinkedIn by clicking the Jobs icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage. You can use a filter option to display only remote jobs that fit your criteria.

FlexJobs is a well-established site featuring remote opportunities that allow flexible schedules. The jobs are curated by the FlexJobs staff, so you can be sure you’re not responding to the latest work-from-home scam. Positions span over 50 fields from entry-level up to C-level. There are full-time and part-time jobs available. The site is not free, but you can sign up for a one-week trial for $9.95.

Virtual Vocations

Virtual Vocations is a remote job website for finding work with U.S.-based companies. Jobs are hand-screened, and new opportunities are posted every day. A free option allows viewing job summaries and applying for a limited number of jobs. Paid subscribers get full access to the remote jobs database and additional resources to help with your job search. Subscriptions start at $15.99 per month.

Dynamite Jobs

Dynamite Jobs only features jobs from companies with 100% remote cultures. The staff vets listings, and there are many jobs from startups and smaller companies. You can also create a free profile on the site, which allows hiring managers to find you.

Remote.co is a remote job website founded by Sara Sutton, who founded FlexJobs . Remote.co is a good website for finding work-from-home jobs, though the search filters are lacking. The site also offers career coaching, resume review services, and online courses, all aimed at remote workers.

If you’ve ever looked for a job online, you have probably come across Indeed.com . It is one of the most popular sites for finding work. The site has a dedicated section for remote positions. You can filter by date posted, hourly wage range, job type, location, company, and experience level.

While AngelList has local jobs and remote positions, they also have remote jobs with startups you won’t find anywhere else. The available work skews toward experienced professionals in technical fields. If you have tech skills and want to work from home for a startup, AngelList is a good first stop for seeking employment.

Working Nomads

Working Nomads is a remote job board targeting digital nomads and others seeking location-independent work. You can also sign up for job alerts delivered to your inbox. When you sign up for the email alerts, you can customize the updates by job category, email frequency, position type, or keyword.

Software and web developer positions are well represented on RemoteOK . Non-tech jobs are available, mostly in sales, marketing, and customer support. There is also a directory for remote workers who want to be found by potential employers.

Jobspresso is a curated job platform that posts a few new remote jobs weekly. There are not as many job listings as other work-at-home job sites, but the ones that appear are hand-picked. They display ads on the site, which can be distracting for job seekers.
