What is Picoworkers and How it Works?
Picoworkers is a crowd-sourcing website(launched by OctoBrain Inc) which brings Employers and Workers together to meet their needs. You get a $2 bonus on signing up which you can spend on posting tasks for other workers. Like almost all other microjobs sites, you find 2 kinds of people here –
Employers – Employers are those who need workers to get their work done. These kind of people post different tasks for workers and pay them money when they complete those tasks successfully.
Workers – Workers are people like me who want to make money completing short tasks like liking a Facebook page or writing a review.
You can be a worker and employer at the same time. Yes, you can complete the tasks for money as well as post the tasks for other people at the same time and from the same Picoworkers account.

Now choose the job which you want to complete. You would see some instructions provided by the employer. Follow the instruction, complete the tasks and provide proof at the end that ensures you have completed the jobs successfully. The Employer would review your work and if you have followed the instructions correctly, you get paid for your work.
