About one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices(设备) connected(连接) to the Internet. The Pew Research Center found that people are using the Internet to find extra(额外的) work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs.

About two percent of Americans made money from ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. When drivers are ready to pick up passengers, they use their ride-share company’s app. The app lets them know when passengers are ready to be picked up and how to reach them.

Some people make their homes, apartments, or rooms inside their homes, available for money to people visiting their cities. A popular website(网站) people use to make rooms available is www.airbnb.com.

Other people use apps on their computer devices that allow people to pay money to them to babysit, walk dogs or do repair or clean-up work.

Opinions about online working are different. Only 16 percent believe doing online work is necessary. But 37 percent says extra money made from online jobs makes their life easier. 68 percent say it is good for people who want flexibility in work, because they can plan their working hours according to their own needs.
