What are the easiest online jobs for students that pay fast?
I don’t have much free time because of school, so I’m looking for simple online jobs that I can do in short bursts—like surveys, micro tasks, or writing jobs. I want something that pays quickly, even just a few dollars daily. Are there safe platforms for this?

Hello, Jose Emmanuel !
At a time when you are unsure of a career interest, busy with school and struggling with motivation as mentioned in your previous posts, this may be a good time to start with getting advice so I am happy that you've come here to express yourself. That is a great start !
There really aren't any "easy" "fast paying" jobs online remotely. Every job requires skills, education, previous experience and dedication, even if it is online. There is no quickness involved in being hired, it is a process that, as time goes by, you will soon easily accept. The typical survey jobs online pay very little and you don't get paid until you accrue enough money, the company tells you how much you can make before you can collect the money. Some Surveys pay mere cents, yet you'd be on the internet for a long time. You would have to read the entire guidelines at every survey website to know exactly the routine.
Websites that pay writers can be very competitive and the projects can be filled by other writers very quickly if it's non-assigned work. Not sure how they pay, but nothing is quick. I will reorient you to see what may be more doable for you despite that you didn't mention your age.
As much as I know you want immediate pay and something easy, I have to advise looking for offline work if you are of working age. But there is something that is indeed easy and quick money with no bank account or pay program involved and it's guaranteed money in hand on the same day you do it. You can start doing tianggê on the weekends. We call them yard sales in the U.S.
All you would have to do would be to gather gently used items and/or create crafts to sell in person in your yard or in front of your home. You would receive cash in hand every time you hold a tianggê. Once you become more experienced with it, you can explore flea markets to sell your items at. If you can come to terms with how online work is not fast and easy quick money and how not all people get the work, maybe tianggê is worth a try. You can make posters before hand stating the dates, times and address of the sale for that weekend coming up. If you think that you are too busy, maybe working is not something for now but for when you have time to do it.
Also remember that the person seeking work does not create the requirements or criteria for a job, even if it's online. Companies set exactly what they need and expect a commitment if it is a real job and not the heavy navigation demanding usual survey and writing online sites. If you really want work, you'll have to make the time for it. If you don't have time to work, focus on school and activities around your education at this time. Try not to feel pressured about it. At some point, you will know exactly what jobs you are qualified to do. But keep in mind that the company tells you what you'll do so having a preset idea of the job description is not going to benefit you while seeking employment. It's okay to wait. Maybe waiting and doing tianggê on the weekends would really work out for you. You don't know until you try. People who do not know you cannot possibly assess what jobs you can do. Give it some time to discover your skills if you need to.
Once you get used to doing yard sales or flea markets, you might start feeling good about applying for a part time job at one of the local businesses where you live. It's really so much better to begin your first few jobs in person, on site so you can develop your social and communication skills, meet new people and give tangible help to a place that needs it, giving back to your community. You will soon learn that you do not use work for the money, it's a personal development experience and you should enjoy the work you do.
So I hope that you do not mind that I have redirected you but I would be happy to see you succeed and not feel like you've wasted time online or do not find a good fit with what you're thinking about. I wish you well moving forward and hope that you think about it before attempting online work at this time.
