M Turk should I sign up or not

Hi Micheal123, I've used Mturk and can give you some feedback. Just for perspective, I live in Canada, and use Mturk to supplement leisure buying: books, craft supplies, etc. My experience with Mturk has actually been very good because I am always careful to either look up the companies hiring on forums, or I dismiss the assignments if they are too good to be true. Example: $20 for answering one survey that ANYONE can do (not professionals like IT people or lawyers) is very suspicious. So are things that want your card numbers and very detailed personal information. Surveys that pay even 50 cents seem to be legitimate - I've always been paid by these. They will be psychological surveys, or opinion surveys on the economy or political environment. The article writing assignments are very low paying, but good practice. There are tasks that want you to rewrite a little information in as little as 150 words, and these have always paid up as well. Transcription is the very best task you can do, if your English is good. There are also transcription tasks in other languages, sometimes. CastingWords, Speechink, PRI, and Wisconsin Public Radio regularly post tasks, and are very trustworthy. I made the bulk of my earnings with these, and it also introduced me to transcription. I have only found one good data entry job - you take image snaps of business card logos and copy the information printed. It pays 2 cents per card, but you can do these very quickly. In about three months, I made $240-odd US. In Canada, you can only take this out in Amazon gift card money; in India, you get this cash in rupees. Hope this was helpful for you.

The site is 100% honest, i used to work there, i have earned money too, it paid me in indian currency, but since last year it asks for international tax clearance, so i am no more active.

mturk si not bad as microjobs site so i didn't join before also because the reward for my country is just some amazon gift cards and not money but for other countries is also available a cashout in money that i think more interesting when using these kind of micro-jobs online...anyway if you like sites like that probably mturk is not a bad idea!!
