    Amazon has a service called Mechanical Turk. Businesses put up listings for small jobs and random people complete the small jobs for a set amount of money. The jobs are things like ‘transcribe this lecture’ or ‘fill out this survey’. The goal is to connect small jobs with low-skill workers.

    Some of the tasks are more involved than that and require proof of knowledge. But, that is the gist.
