Well I just started doing this kind of work today. I am always trying to find a new way of making money, turns out this is not the one. I added it up and for a lot of the HITS I was only making $1.96 an hour.
That won’t cover my smokes while I am typing and clicking away. I work as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) so I do have some down time and that why I am doing this now, just kind of a game to see how much I can earn tonight.
It isn’t hard work but I feel like a tool at the end of the hour and I havn’t made enough to pay for my soda. But with that being said my real goal is to learn android apps, I am hoping that I will learn from my experiences on here and maybe get some apps built in the near future.
But to run you through my day so far as a Mechanical Turk I made my account and that part was pretty easy, then I started some tasks. I can’t believe that people work for 2 cents a job, It takes so long it is not even funny but we do it anyway and I am sure some little Indian boy is on here making his medical school payments but in the states it’s a joke.
I do like the work, it is kind of like playing a game just to see how much I can earn and if it pays out or rejects my. I do think that a lot of these are a waste of time but what the heck so are angry birds.
I did do one that claimed to give me 2.50 for a survey, we will see if that pans out. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this and I look forward to my 80 cents!

| Jul 16, 2012 | interesting. But respect other countries too About the little indian boy – that’s hardly appropriate. Probably there is a person working even harder than most of us (US-based or EU-based readers) can imagine. — But that aside: I doubt that working on the Turk is a good start in working on app developement. Perhaps you should try to build a profile on a real outsourcing site, like Odesk. You should have better chances to learn by doing about app developement if you actually do that. Or are there many app related HITs on Mechanical Turk? |
| Jun 12, 2014 | Ill-treatment It is nice to know that there are available jobs that people can hop on anytime they want. But, what’s so totally wrong in this situation is that people who work for these low paying scheme works are ill-treated. |
