Work from home:

User Testing (merged with UserZoom)

Be a tester of websites and products. I did a little digging on this one for a friend: I always start with Glassdoor reviews, and sort by most recent, I recommend doing this with any company because you care how they are right now (then you can switch to 'most helpful' but keep an eye on the dates).

 

People who are happy working for this company are: available more times, not just after work, focus on getting and keeping a high rating (5 stars) because then you'll be offered more tests, seek out longer tests and jump at moderated studies because they also tend to be longer and put in their time, when you first start you are not given a lot of tests.

I get the feeling that you would be a good candidate if you do a lot of shopping since you'd be testing websites and most websites sell stuff.

I found this site's review very informative:

Software Testing Help

The reality: you cannot make a living user testing, this a side hustle that you'll earn $10-$50 an hour (rarely $50, most tests pay $10 per test which take about 15 minutes to complete and I'm hearing "1 a day" a little too often)

Flexjobs

Flexjobs has jobs that I don't see listed on other sites, and since the posters have to pay to list their jobs it is more likely that the jobs are sincere. This is a pay site but the price is reasonable starting at $25 a month and they usually have discounts going so be sure to show interest first by giving them your email address. Flexjobs was there for me with excellent articles and career advice when I started my search so I really feel like I got my money's worth and more.

My tip: Ok, not my tip, it's Ryan Kulp's warning: HustleWing is a scam.

Per Task job sites:

Honestly, per task sites were a real downer for me as a designer. Seeing people charge $15 for a logo design was a reality I was just not ready to face. And after several months of lowering and lowering my price I never did get a job on there. They say it's very hard to get the first jobs under your belt, I'm choosing to believe that. Many people do well and love them so I wish you all the best...
