Earn easy money online with little to no prior skills

Wait wait wait, did I say that you can really earn easy money online? Well, yes you can buuuuuuut... you also need to have a skill that makes you more attractive to people online who need to get their work done (that's pretty obvious right? why else would some stranger pay you money?). So, here are some of the skills that I, personally, feel are easy to learn and master. Without further ado let's dive into it!

Surfing the web

You can even earn some cash by just doing your usual web surfing. Try SwagBucks this website will literally pay you to search and play around on the internet, with almost nothing more extensive required on your part. You just have to make their search bar your default and just surf the internet as you usually do! The points you earn can be converted into gift cards of Amazon or Walmart which you can use when shopping. Eezy-peezy. Another one worth trying is Qmee, it's a simple add-on to your browser that rewards you for searching on Google, Bing or Yahoo.

Typing

That's it? Typing? LOL, now I can earn money online too. It's not that easy mate, why don't you hear me out first? First of all, your typing should be error free, as much as it can be, be it spelling mistakes or grammatical errors. Doubtful about your Typing skills? You can visit some popular websites to polish your skill like Typing , speedtypingonline and much more.

Now there are further categories to how typing can make you some extra cash easily.

1. Transcribing

Transcribing is basically listening and typing. If you think you're a good listener and can type fast and error free, you're the perfect guy for the job. Most popular sites include transcribeMe, Upwork, Fiverr, etc.

2. Translating

Are you bilingual or multilingual? You think you have a good grip on two or more languages? Then this looks like a job for you! Now there are many scenarios where typists like you are required. A company is launching itself in another country? They need a translator to translate their website. An author wants his creation to be published in another language? They need one too!

The jobs can vary alot from casual blog translations to translating legal documents. Be careful about what job you pick. Popular sites include freelancing sites like Upwork, Fiverr and Gengo.

3. Data Entry

Now this is the most obvious one. You're asked to input data manually. An example of this would be that you've raw data in offline form(pages or their pictures) and you need to enter it into an excel sheets. Now these jobs do sound very tempting. You just have to type in data but as everything else on this page there's a catch to it too. There are many conditions, restrictions and penalties. You need to give the promised amount of pages in order to get the salary promised to you.
The error margins are minimal and delays result in 10-50% deduction, according to your delay and it also varies from employer to employer. Hourly wages vary from $10 - $22 per hour (690 - 1517 Rupees).

4. Captcha typing

You most probably have encountered these. Either while signing up for something or while surfing the internet on a VPN or any of the more possible cases. We all hate them right? Such an annoyance. But now you might wanna change how you feel about them because yes, that's right, you can earn some $$$ from entering captchas. It will be usually 6-8 character long captchas that you'll need to type. There are many sites like MegaTypers  and Kolotibablo here you can earn by typing in captchas. These usually pay between $0.35 - $1 per hour (25-69 Rupees).

Amazon Mechanical Turk

This one lesser heard of than the other popular websites like fiverr. This basically has a lot of odd jobs in it which range from finding an address for someone to bathroom quality classification(yes) to making a video of yourself shopping in a supermarket for a research team who wants to learn and implement on their robots. There are more jobs which you can qualify for by giving task specific tests held by the site.

They pay with amazon points which you can spend on their website, which isn't that bad of a deal, is it? Payments are per task range from $0.01 to $20. Average worker earns about $2 per hours.

Reviewing Websites and Apps

Websites like Usertesting and TryMyUI pay you to test websites and apps and review them. All you need is a computer, a webcam, a mic and a bit of speaking skills. Most of these websites ask you to record your screen and/or you using the website/app and actively speak about how you feel while using it. It can be easy for those who have good speaking skills. Those who don't can also try and improve because once you get the hold of it, it will get relatively easier.

Reviewing Music

You love music? You like discovering new genres and artists? Then this might be perfect for you! Websites like SliceThePie pay you for listening and reviewing new music. It might take a while to build up your reputation but hey! you've to put in some effort before eating the sweet sweet fruit, right? Another website worth mentioning is musicxray.

Sell your study notes

Who doesn't like ready-made notes? If you don't mind sharing notes with your friends and batch-
mates then why not also make a little extra money by selling them online? Websites like Nexus Notes and Stuvia are one of the most popular ones where you can sell your notes. They take a little share of your profit for handling marketing for you so you don't have to reach out to customers. Typed notes are usually more preferable but if you have a good handwriting then hand-written notes should be good too.

Sell your photographs

Have a thing for clicking photographs? Try and sell some of your best clicks on websites like Adobe Stock or Getty Images. These should be great to get your started. Try to post pictures which have lesser search results. For example - a banana kept on head. Yes, its a bit specific but you can try some lesser specific topics too!

Become a mystery shopper

Sounds fun right? It is fun. It can include some boring stuff too but they're paying you for it, sooo.. I guess you can do it. It basically is visiting businesses anonymously to check on the services and quality. It can also include free dinners at some restaurant too! You can read more about it here.

Tasking apps

It's like mystery shopping but without buying anything. It involves simple jobs like going to the nearby supermarket and clicking pictures of the tomato section or going to a bakery and making a video of you eating a pastry. Similar to some of the mturk tasks, but it's just solely based on these odd jobs and pay better too! Yes you might encounter some awkward moments with the staff but it's worth it.
