You may be familiar with sites that outsource people for work like data entry, administrative support or writing. Getting hired, especially if you write content, may be a bit difficult. If you are just starting out in the business, you would have to build your portfolio by working for clients who are willing to risk on your inexperience but would offer you lower rates. Additionally, you will have to wait for a few days before you can get your pay.

For some quick money, CloudCrowd can help you with that. CloudCrowd provides small projects to clients from writing 100-word product descriptions, editing or proofreading content, to categorizing products. CloudCrowd pays $2 per product description, so if you are fast enough, you can earn as much as $40 per hour. One of the features I liked about CloudCrowd is that once your work is approved, you'll get your payments on the next business day. Another advantage is if you provide high quality work, you can earn bonuses.
However, CloudCrowd is one of the most challenging money-earning websites I have encountered. You will be rated by credential points, and if gets low, you'll get your account suspended. Clients are also strict; therefore, you should be careful and be sure that everything is what the client asked for or else it will get rejected and you'll receive negative credential points.
