Just wonder what they will do with mere signups in microworkers?

Well,microworkers are spoken about widely now.I enrolled myself there and saw many of the jobs to be signing up in a site and pasting confirming the email we got.What is the use of mere sign ups if we are not at all visiting that site again?How will the job creators benefit from that even if we are not going to be active?

Hi, I joined there some time ago and most of the offers are only for USA and Canada and not available in my country. There is not much to choose from. I guess the sign ups are for either spamming your email later so maybe you visit again and i think the person who posted it will earn some kind of referral points otherwise I don't see why they will pay for someone just to join. It may also be their site so that they will have more members.
have a nice day!

Yes!I am worried about letting my email id to unwanted sites which would result in spamming later.That's why I haven't undertaken any job there.And about the referrals,I think they will gain if we remain active in the signed up sites.Still,I am confused why should they pay for mere sign ups.I don't want to let my email id for anybody to earn few cents.
Let us wait fore some one with more clear ideas on this.Cheers!

well there isn't much to do there. If you want to do some interesting tasks you may try Amazon Mechanical Turk, there are a lot of good tasks there and not any of sign ups.

I have not heard of microworkers. What do they do there? of course nothing can be done if members just sign up and forget about it. That is the problem of calling other people to sign up under us in a online earning programs. They will sign and that's about it.

Microworkers is an online earning site which serves as a platform for task creators and task doers so that they can help each other.But I find more sign up jobs there which are not interesting for me and I am worried about leaving my emailid in all those sites.I anticipate more spam mails will hit my mailbox and so I remain away from that site.Cheers!

Well you can use microworkers for your promotions, and if suppose you get at least 2-3 active referrals, not a bad deal. So it depends on taking up the chance. And as far as using your mail address for signing up, just use an alternate one for completing the tasks, and whichever site you find interesting give your usual email address. This is how I work there. Also someone has started the discussion that she had received the payment from them. So if that site is genuine, you can easily make 9$ within couple of weeks or so.

Yes!i think most people are looking for promoting their sites with the initial bonus of $2.That is why there are more sign up offers which I hesitate to do.But that is a good idea of giving an alternate email id for some of the sites we are not interested and to give our personal id to the interesting sites.But I don't want to do anything there and I remain away from it.I feel that microworkers is not my cup of coffee.Cheers!
