There are many micro-job websites, such as those asking members to do one small task for money. These jobs are typically easy to do, such as bookmarking a site, liking a video or Facebook page, etc. But, the pay is also very low, usually just a few pennies per micro job or task. Would this still be considered freelancing?

Micro jobs are more like odd jobs or ways to earn pocket change rather than making an actual living. If you don't mind getting paid so little for a micro job, then you should go for it. Otherwise, just stick with something that you know how to do and demand to get paid for it.

I've done a little bit of work on micro job sites, mostly blog posts and reviews. At the time, the money was nice to have. Now, I can easily earn more with my own freelance services on SEOClerks. So, I don't do micro jobs anymore.

micro jobs is micro freelancing. You respect all the rules of freelancing and sometimes, you can ask for high price on micro jobs marketplace!

If you could spend the same time on completing a freelancing service from SEOClerks and get $15 for an hour, then it's worth more to you than doing 10 little microjobs and only earning $1.00. You decide what your time is worth and how you want to spend it.

I do consider this to be a form of freelancing. May not make much but it all adds up.

Even a few dollars a day on one of those microjob sites can easily earn an extra $100 a month and if it's not taking much time to complete the jobs, then that's a big win for the budget.

Any type of freelance job is micro jobs as it's never guaranteed you will work with that client again. The difference is how the client meets you and contracts services through the website rather than your obtaining the clients on your own.

I believe it is a form of Freelance work, as you do micro jobs on your own accord. Freelancing covers a broad range of online work, not just one aspect.

If you are not bound by a contract, do not work in a regular shift in an organization, you are by default a freelancing. It does not matter whether you earn few bucks or earn a living, as long as you work without being an employee, you are a freelancer. Therefore, working on microsite is also freelancing.

I am a freelancer who is mostly feeding on forums. But I had a short stint with micro jobs although I was not able to cash in particularly with the surveys. If the micro jobs work is regular and the earnings is pretty good then I guess it can be considered freelancing because it is a regular job. And I know that there are many websites that are giving work to micro job workers who enjoy small projects. And for me, I would rather stick with forum content providing chores.

Any site that pays no matter how low is a good site nowadays. Legitimate paying sites are so hard to find these days that working on micro jobsites have become somewhat appealing to me. I do earn a bit of income from sites such as Instagc about $5-$10 a month but that's just for one site and I'm doing several.
