Well obviously not me, until now that is. I always knew about sites like microworkers but they really never caught my attention. Last week I decided to give them mw a try again and I'm just 30 cents away from reaching payout, and yes I'm super excited. All the tasks available are things that I normally do anyway. Bookmarking a site, signing up for something, submitting an email, or even posting a craigslist ad for someone. All easy and the money adds up FAST.
My only complaint is that some of the employers take a while to accept the jobs. Otherwise it's a great way to make a few dollars. Has anyone here tried it out? What do you guys think, and does it compare to mturk or those other sites like it?

I signed up for MicroWorkers a while back but I haven't got round to using it yet.
It is like Mechanical Turk in many ways. I like the idea of MicroWorkers paying out via Pay Pal, that is the one disadvantage of Mechanical Turk who pay out in online Amazon vouchers if you live in the UK. I have to say I prefer the idea of earning cash.
I'm going to give MicroWorkers ago after what you've said and I also signed up for other sites like Short Task, I'll have to give those another look as well.

I'm surprised that MT deposit money into your account without notification. I wish they had the option of paying into your bank account in the UK, I have to accept vouchers which I use to buy stuff that I would anyway but I'd like the option of bank deposit or Pay Pal, which isn't likely.
I'll give some of the other sites a go and see how it works out.

I use Mechanical turk too. But my feeling towards it goes up and down. Some days I am okay to use it. The next day my mind is no more in it. What I don't like about them is that they deposit money to my bank without notifying me about it. Also they give no emails at all about it.

I have joined MicroWorkers too, but I have not been very active there. That's mainly because of the lack of time. I like the site a lot. It presents a huge variety of tasks , and one can take those one feels comfortable with. My favorites are the writing tasks.

Hi everyone!
I recently joined microworkers and hope I could make some earnings here. I see that task credits are reasonable enough for a particular task available. There has been variety of tasks to choose from and is available. I have just one question, are the tasks geo-targeted? Thanks and good day!

yeah..i am also in your same state...just 50 cents away from payout...But in my view jobs are diminished very much in microworkers. I also like the start rating for jobs done...

I signed up to this site when it first started and drifted away. I recently discovered it again and I am glad I have as there loads more tasks you can do and a whole lot easier to earn some cash.

Hi jeneias!
Good for you on your earnings. I love microworkers too, I have made $80 in past six months and that was with very little effort. I just requested $20 that I made in the last two weeks and definitely better than other task sites. I used Mturk for a while but the jobs pay so little and then there's the limit. I hope microworkers continues for many, many years.

This is really a good site for online earning.
For me, I shall be careful too when I make a complaint for my denied job.
Although I have collected my 5th payment, I am still worrying to be suspended and lose all of my hard earned money once I make a wrong complaint for my denied job.
I never trust online earning. But I still have to do it.
