Simple tasks add up

If you are bored and surfing the web endlessly, you could put the time and boredom to use. One site that you can do this on is Amazon Mechanical Turk. If you already have an Amazon account, it can be used to sign up for Mechanical Turk and Amazon payments so that you can receive the money that is earned. If not, it is a quick process to create an account.

Money is earned by completing HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks). These are normally simple tasks such as searching Google for a specific term and listing some results or taking surveys. Some are redundant and menial... some are longer and more involved. There are different payouts for each task completed and bonuses available on many tasks. Once you start getting some experience, it opens the door to larger payouts. You can learn what to look for to make the most of your time on the site and start stacking up some money for yourself for doing very simple things. The more you do, the more you earn!

If you find that you are over whelmed by the amount of "Turks" out there, and if you feel like you are wasting your time on this then check out: HITsWorthTurkingFor from Reddit. This is a huge resource, and help for getting more from MTurk in less time.


Here is a link to the site -  Mechanical Turk
