Micro Jobs
What is a micro job?
A micro job is small task type work which takes a short time to complete. They require little to no skill, you just need to be able to follow instructions. So if you are a little short on skills, maybe this could be a start to micro freelancing jobs for you. A word of advice; if you think you cannot deliver a job, do not take it in the first place. If a job states that you should be from a specific country, don’t take it if you are not. Your account could get terminated for false statements.
Okay, so you could be earning money by following instructions such as:
-Researching online for websites similar to a particular one
