Online paid surveys
Online paid surveys are exactly what the name describes: you take surveys and get paid for it. It may be hard to believe but many companies and businesses are willing to pay you to take surveys. Although you can’t usually work full time doing surveys, it’s a good way to make a few bucks for a few hours with just an internet connection and a computer.
Some of the most popular online surveys sites include Survey Junkie, Swagbucks, and MyPoints. The best way to find the most legitimate such survey companies and not lose your time is to google them and read the reviews.
Dropshipping
Dropshipping is the method through which someone sells a third-party product to a customer. What that means is that you are the middle-man between the customer and the product without you having to receive and store the product first. Dropshipping eliminated the need for a physical business location; all you need is a computer with an internet connection.
The profit from drop shipping comes from the difference between the sales of the product and the merchant’s cost + any shipping fees. While profit margin is usually lower compared to wholesaling, the risk is significantly lower. The cost of setting the business itself is next to nothing. Furthermore, there is a huge variety of products you can choose to dropship and many chances for scalability.
Online customer service
Companies and businesses know how important service support is. A good customer support can turn a consumer into a customer. A good customer support can also prevent a customer from stop being one.

A customer service job can take many forms. However, the majority of such position fall into these 4 job descriptions:

Search engine evaluator
To get to know what a ‘search engine evaluator’ does, we need to break down the term first. If you’ve ever used Google or Bing to find something – those are (web) search engines. A search engine searches the World Wide Web information specified in the search query. The appropriate results are calculated within milliseconds through an algorithm and are shown in the search engine results pages (SERPs). However, those algorithms are not fool-proof. This is where search engine evaluators come into play.
A search engine evaluator analyses those search results in regards to their relevance and quality, according to the guidelines. And the best part is that they do so from the comfort of their home, from a few hours a week up to 30.
