Alternatives to Mechanical Turk?

I've been using Mechanical Turk for the past few days. It's good, but there are a lot of scams on it. Plus most requests don't pay much. I've made about $10/day. Does anyone know any other good websites where you can do small tasks for quick money - surveys, writing etc?

Another one you might try is microjobs.co and myeasytask.com. They are all along the same lines of microworkers and other task sites. You know: Write articles, post comments, build links, facebook links, sign-up for this & that... I haven't really tried these sites but hey you can check into them they may work for you!

I have been working there and made around $11.27 in 2-3 days but now I find difficult to get some good HITS.most of them are hard to do task and pays very less.you can try out minuteworkers.com or survey site..some are offering no minimum cash out.

If you enjoy Mturk, try CloudCrowd. It works in a similar fashion. Also, mylot has "tasks" you might try if you haven't. I did Cloudcrowd for awhile, but that kind of work isn't for me.

I might try CloudCrowd. Microworker tasks seem to mainly be about artificially boosting people's ratings, spamming, and scamming. They did give me a dollar when I joined though! :-)

You can try to register at microworkers and also there are so much site that you can use who ask you to take a surveys. Look like you are from US, so it won't be hard enough to make money from the kind of this site.

I using them too, for the survey site. Try to register to coolercash or find it trough search engine with that keywords. I was from Asia, they don't have much offer for this continent. You also can try to search using keywords Make money doing offer.
