I need people to do small jobs for me and in return i pay them, so i used to use Microworkers for this. I used to create campaigns for workers and pay them on task completion. Lately i have realized that their support has stopped working. I sent them many tickets but i have not received any replies as yet. Many people are facing this issue. Do you know of any other site where i can hire people to do simple jobs for me? The tasks on mylot do not give good returns. Hardly anybody does them so i cannot create tasks here. You can also PM with suggestions.

Do not trust Minuteworkers because they are not paying their members. I always cashout from them but my last one was not given to me. My effort doing jobs on their site was wasted.

Yes, Microworkers are big scam for task creators, but they are paying to the workers. Before 2 month i deposit $10 and try to create tasks but each and every time while i try to create a campaign ,the admin decline my campaign and force me to assign more price / work. First the admin ask me to assign $1.50 / sign up for a simple sign up task. Later he came down and ask me to assign 0.40 / sign up. In between i opened 5 support ticket , none to them got replied.
Actually according to the website rules only 0.05 for simple sign up but they are forcing task creators to assign more amount per task. So i just start refund dispute from Alertpay , after 10 days i got back my $10 and also my microworkers account got deactivated by the admin

Same here. They stopped replying to support tickets. My campaigns haven't been approved since the past 5 days now.

I just got my Paypal account credited from microworker two weeks ago, if you want to think it is a scam site, that is perfectly fine with me. I will continue with Microworkers task, it is a good paying site as far as i am concerned. Cheer!

Microworkers stopped supporting Paypal more than a year ago. I have no idea how you got paid via Paypal. Maybe the admin started with Paypal just for you. Good.

Hello there,
I am not so sure about it. I have just heard about microworkers few weeks ago and I have just tried it for few days. As far as I know, the tasks inside are not difficult at all, but the payment is not very high. I do hope that the site is not scam, or else I will need to find another alternative to earn some money online. Concerning your question, I think amazon mechanical turk and clixsense will meet your requirement. But, I have never tried them out, so I am not so sure about it.
