Crowdsourcing - The future of 'Work-at-home'

Crowdsourcing is fast becoming the future of ‘Work-at-home’. Crowdsourcing platforms like Amazon Mturk, Clickworker (which was recently selected by global Internet coupon giant, Groupon, to lead a large-scale, global translation and optimization project in a number of languages), Cloudcrowd etc., are allowing workers all over the world to earn money from the comfort of their homes, during their free time.

Cloudcrowd is one such platform, which brings together companies that need work done with people who want to work and get paid. When a company gives them a project, they break it down into a smaller set of tasks that you can complete using their Facebook application. You select the tasks you'd like to work on, and are paid the next business day via PayPal for each task you complete correctly.

You need a Facebook account in order to work for then. Once you are connected to their application, you can start working and get paid for it.
