I earned my first payout from online by completing micro-tasks on websites like Amazon Mechanical Turk, Crowdflower and Clickworker. I also do surveys on survey sites like Survey Junkie, Swagbucks and MyPoints.
I prefer to do surveys and micro-tasks because they are relatively easy and don’t require any extra knowledge or skills. I have found that survey sites tend to have higher payment rates than micro-task sites, so I prefer to focus more on surveys when I am looking to make money online.
