Our Top Easiest Online Work Opportunities (That Aren’t Becoming A Social Media Star)
Micro Jobs
Micro jobs are not, usually, well-rewarded but they are super easy and require next to no experience whatsoever to get started.
They may involve anything from becoming a survey taker to clicking links.
Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (linked below) is the most popular service to offer micro jobs but there are many others out there.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a travel agent or a graphic designer in real life, anyone can earn extra money from home with micro jobs.

Virtual Assistant
Virtual assistants (VAs) do need some experience to get work (see our favorite VA training courses) but as we said in our piece on jobs for college students working towards a bachelor’s degree with no experience – it’s not hard to get a job as a VA.
All you do is handle tasks for a business or an individual in the way they ask you to. It’s a good job for someone with disabilities too.

Online Juror
Obviously, they don’t conduct trials online but they do carry out mock trials where you can work at home and take part as though you were on a regular jury!
The work is not that regular – so, while we’ve linked E-jury to get you started, you might want to hunt around for a few more companies that do this is the work appeals to you.
The pay is OK though – from $10-$60 per “trial” and it’s quite a lot of fun.
