Hi keikurono,I like both of these sites and both are great ways to earn some extra money I believe.But,microworkers is better for me as I can get my money in to paypal and the minimum payout is very less(only 10$).

Oh that's what I am looking for, the ability to withdraw into Paypal, not having your earnings stuck with Amazon. hehe..thanks!

Hi,thanks for responding to this comment of mine.If you are looking for a paypal option then microworkers is a better option for you surely.Go there and register yourself.You will find a lot of tasks from here.

Well, I agree that MTurk have so much more tasks, but in the same time, I complete 10 tasks on MicroWorkers in the same time than just one task on MTurk, and also the tasks are reviewd so much faster on MicroWorkers. But, after all I think both of them are good sites that are legit and you are going to get your payout for sure, so good luck with both of them!

Sorry for the late reply, I was out for more than a month. I had some problem with Mturk especially the ones you mentioned. Are the tasks in Microworkers really that easy compared to Mturk?

Well, i havnt tried either of them but i am keen on trying it out if i have the time to do so. is it true that we have to give some kind of identification to join mturk?

you have a choice if you want to transfer your earnings in Mturk to your bank account or use it in purchasing products at Amazon. I chose the latter. If you choose the former, they will be asking for your bank account, and that would verify your identity.

I've earned 3 times more on MTurk, but for some reason I prefer Microworkers. :)

hehe.. could you please elaborate more on that? I haven't tried microworkers yet, but what is its advantages over Mturk, if there's any?

I earn so much more in mTurk than in microworkers (like 100 times more each week. LOL). seriously. i think it's because mTurk has hundreds of thousands of HITs and microworkers only has 40 at a time (most of which I don't even qualify for since they are looking for US people only). i think microworkers is better though if you have tons of referrals, as mturk does not have a referral system.

I think that's the biggest difference between the two, the availability of tasks/hits. Well, I think I would stick with Mturk for now. Thanks for the comment!
