Workers can earn residual income by completing microjobs and being paid once their account balance reaches $9.60, from which Microworkers deducts a 6.5% fee upon withdrawal.

4. What is microworkers?
Microworkers is an online platform that enable any registered user
to act as “employer” (the one who place micro-jobs for others to
work on) or as “worker” (the one who work on the micro-jobs).
Micro-jobs are the simple tasks that can be completed within
minutes, example are:
Sign-up of the newsletter
Facebook fan page “like”
Youtube subscription or comment
Retweet in twitter
Forum posting
Article writing etc…
Most of the jobs came with detailed instruction, thus, it can be easily
complete by anyone who can follow simple instruction.

5. How does it work?
Following is a simple illustration of how Microworkers works:
Employer placed the job Worker complete the job
and submit proof
Employer pays Microworkers pay
the fee upfront worker upon request
Note:
upfront
1. In order for the worker to earn the money, the employer need
to rate the job as “satisfied”. If the employer didn’t rate the job,
system auto-rate the job as “satisfied” on the 7th day.
2. To continue working on the future jobs, worker MUST maintain
a success rate of 75% and above (success rate = number of
satisfied jobs / total number of jobs completed)
3. Some jobs are available for selected countries only! Thus, do
read the instruction carefully

8. What is the fee/charge involved?
Using of the service is FREE but there is a 6.5% fee for withdrawal.
How do you get paid?
Once your account balance is more than USD9 + 6.5% Fee (i.e. USD
9.60), you can initiate the withdrawal from the “Withdraw” tab.
Note: For the very first withdrawal, Microworkers will snail-mail you
(to your registered address) a PIN. You need to input the PIN in the
same withdraw tab before the actual payment is being transmitted.
For the time being, Microworkers can make the payment to AlertPay
or MoneyBookers only. If you do not have the account, click on the
links underneath the image to register your account FREE:
AlertPay Moneybookers
The typical response time of the payment is quite fast (through
experience it’s within 1 or 2 days upon your withdrawal request).

and Moneybookers, please check out the following blogpost:

9. The Do and Don’t
The DO:
You should accept the job that you can complete within the
stipulated time (minutes) only
Read the instruction carefully and always submit the proof as
required by the employer
The DON’T:
Do not provide fictitious or inaccurate proof or you will risk
being rated as “Not Satisfied” (which you will not get paid)
For win-win situation, DO NOT create fictitious accounts just to
complete the job!

10. What’s next…?
If you notice, this guide is just the basic level, it aims to enable you to
get started quickly and earn the first few bucks immediately. My next
plan is to write an advanced guide to share with you folks on some
tips/tricks to enhance your earning power through the Microworkers
platform i.e. how to earn more with shorter time!
