Amazon Mechanical Turk

There are countless people turning to the internet to earn money only to be sucked into schemes & scams. As a result time is wasted, as well as money. A lot of people are cynical when it comes to working online for this very reason. At a time when scam sites overpopulate the internet, it can be difficult to find 100% legitimate work at home opportunities. One is lucky to stumble upon a site that lives up to their promises, and doesn't suck you in with promises of instant wealth. Instant wealth is a myth. It is unrealistic to believe that you can start ANY program one day and have a huge deposit in your bank account the following day. Trust me, I banged my head against that wall for 8 years and all I got was a headache and the distinct impression I was doing something immoral. In 2008 I signed up at Amazon Mechanical Turk, or MTurk for short-a micro tasking site that pays it's members to do HITS, or Human Intelligence Tasks. They currently have 232,630 Tasks available to people of all skill levels. Since signing up I have cleared $180.18 but the most active members (Turkers) earn significantly more. In fact, may of them have financed whole vacations on their earnings from MTurk. How much you earn is solely dependent upon the amount of work you put in and as long as you have a solid grasp of the English language and can follow instructions to the letter you can earn good money. You won't get rich, but you will get paid. Their payout minimum is only $1 and they pay directly to your bank account, or you have the option to be paid in Amazon Gift Cards. All payout requests are put through immediately. One final thing. In order to be able to sign up with MTurk, you must have an Amazon. com account. You will be using your log in information from that account to log in to Amazon Mechanical Turk. I hope the information I have provided here helps. Thanks for reading!
