There are many platforms for earning money online, so ultimately it comes down to your preferences, skills, and a bit of luck. Here are some types of websites you'll find: GPT ("get paid to") websites like Swagbucks, EarnHoney, InstaGC, and Earnably. You can do many simple tasks in exchange for cash and gift cards: taking surveys, watching videos, searching the web, etc. They don't pay much, but they don't take much of your time anyway. Small tasks and micro jobs websites like Amazon Mechanical Turk, Clickworker, and Microworkers. You complete small tasks like categorizing things, searching for information, and tagging images. Again, not much money to be made here, but it can give you some nice side income if there are tasks available to you (which sadly depends on luck). Websites that offer work as a search engine evaluator: Leapforce, Appen, Lionbridge. These are more like actual part-time jobs you can do from home. The work isn't terribly exciting and the application process is a bit more involved than other platforms, but they pay reasonable rates if you manage to get selected. Content mills like Textbroker, BlogMutt, Crowd Content, and Zerys (but avoid iWriter by any means) are good options if you're skilled or interested in writing. After "training" here, you can then become a freelance writer and set your own rates. Transcription websites like Transcribe.com, Scribe, and Tigerfish. Transcription isn't for everyone, but you can earn a decent income if you're good at it; maybe even try it as a career. Testing websites like User Testing, TryMyUI, and Enroll pay you to navigate through a website, perform specific tasks, and record your process. If you like this sort of work, you might want to move to QA websites like uTest and test IO that pay you to find bugs. Some people even do it full-time.
