Online Tasks for Money (Including Micro Tasks) & Errands

Though not everything listed below is “technically” working at home – there are many companies that allow you to do short tasks or errands outside the home and get paid for it. Many love getting out of the house – and this allows you to do so and make extra cash too.
I have a friend that absolutely loves running errands for a few elderly women in her community. Each week she takes them to appointments, grocery shopping and other errands. They pay her for her gas and time. She uses the wait time to complete surveys and do other tasks on her tablet! These little online tasks for money add up for her and it's win-win.
