Microworkers is a site that allows you to perform easy, miniscule tasks for small compensation. These tasks can be anywhere from liking a facebook page to signing up on dating sites. I have seen tasks for High PR blog owners to post links on their blogs, and those usually pay more than the average $0.30.
There are many reasons why clients need these small jobs done -- such as referral sign-ups, free sponsorship products, and quick promotion of a blog or website. I question the motives of a lot of clients on microworkers because a lot of their miniscule tasks seem like they want you to do their dirty work. I personally believe in Karma, so I'm not going to participate in questionable practices for .30 cents.
Aside from some shady clients, microworkers is a great way to earn .50 cents for a few minutes work. If you work quickly, you can easily make around 7-10 dollars an hour. However, there is a catch. A lot of tasks involve you using your accounts on sites like Amazon, Craigslist, Facebook, etc. to write reviews, post ads, and sign up for offers. Not only that, signing up for some sites listed in the work can take longer than it's worth.
