For those of you that like to earn extra money, there is a unique site from Amazon called mechanical turk. http://www.mturk.com (not a referral link). This is a very unique site that you can choose from thousands of little jobs that pay you to complete. I think it's fun. Have you ever used it? Do you like it?

This piece of information is really great. I checked the site and better still, realised that I already have an amazon.com account.
I did two hits tonight which are now pending approval. Can anyone tell me whether they have been paid by this site? If the payment is really reliable, then I would say that this is a site worth concentrating.
Do they accept paypal for payment?

I'm glad you like the site. Under the account tab, you can set up how you want to get paid. It either goes to your Amazon account that you can use to buy things or you can have it set up for deposit to your bank account. Any questions are in the FAQ section. Good luck and I hope you make lots of money. Thanks for the comment.

I use this site once in a while and it is pretty cool. I like the transcription ones. I usually get paid for transcribing a 1 min audio, and they pay like $4 for that. There are some really easy ones as well that pay something like a penny each, but there are thousands of those so you can really make some money pretty fast. I think that they take people from all over the world, I may be wrong about that, but if you are not from the US it is worth checking out to see if it is avail in your area.

There are job requesters and job workers. Usually people that have websites or blogs ask you to rate them or add a post for a penny or two. Some jobs are creating articles, or transcribing audio stories. There are thousands of little jobs that you can choose from. It doesn't cost you anything and it is a part of Amazon, which is a reputable site so you will be paid. Thanks for asking and good luck.
