Asking about making $1 to $3 dollars an hour at home is another way of saying "how do I reliably make $15-20 a day" as a minimum earnings platform. This money acts as working capital or financial 'homeroom' to rely on, while building a larger IM profits from CPA, affiliate programs, reselling, or other if come/when come direction. Asking for it implies one wants not only a method that makes money 'sometime,' but where a person has more definite control over making it and receiving it within a few days. In that case, some plans that can integrate both may involve:
Postloop: pays $5 per roughly 100 forum posts. Very low pay, but you can while away a few hours writing posts with low stress assurance that the pay will come. For the most bang for the writing, join a few CPA programs and link to your page with each forum post. Result is steady 'trickle cash' from the tedium work, punctuated by larger commissions along the way.
Reviewstream, Listverse, Textbroker et al: In the wake of Yahoo Voices folding, writing sites like these (in one combination or another) can be used to complete $15-20 dollars worth of work daily.
Semi-automate Fiverr: Find software, bots, apps that automate valuable tasks, like generating lists, creating e-covers, file conversions, etc, and set up 15-20 different Fiverr gigs that can be completed on this basis. If you've picked the best jobs, there should be 3-4 new jobs to do every day, indeed very easily, since your PC will be doing the work.
