What is a micro job and how do I come up with one?

[Mike G]

Hi,

I am a freelance social marketer and seo writer living in Toronto Canada. I've been hearing a lot about freelance micro jobs lately and I am wondering what exactly is a micro job? and can someone provide me with a few examples of micro jobs that I could come up with based on my field of expertise?

Hi Mike,

This is a great question, I am so happy someone finally asked this question. I myself am a fellow seo specialist and social marketer as well as a part time tutor for seo, sem and social marketing. I get asked this question all the time by my students. So this is what I tell them! and I always encourage them to try to come up with unique ideas for micro jobs based on the education and knowledge I have given them in regards to social marketing and seo.

Micro jobs are small tasks that people can do for small businesses and people for sums of $5, $10, $15 or even $25. You sell these micro jobs on micro job websites such as fiverr.com and what we use in Canada called frogerr.com.
