Tasks reportedly vary widely. Depending on your skills and the tasks you choose, you might be doing data entry, handling reservations for a restaurant, finding a dog walker, adding appointments to a Google calendar, arranging for a housekeeper to clean an apartment, or cancelling a customer’s cable TV. “Tasks are worth anywhere from $3 to $7 each and go up from there,” the company says.
Qualifications include communications skills, a computer with a reliable Internet connection, and a headset (or iPhone buds) with a microphone.
