Mechanical Turk – From the Eyes of An Indian Turker

Mechanical Turk is a very good site to earn money; I enjoy working here and earn money whenever I get free time. I love earning here because I sometimes learn new things like checking Amazon website or going to Google and doing and doing research there.

I feel that M Turk is the best place to earn small money in free time; I do Oscar business card regularly and I participate in surveys. The good thing about M Turk is the worker can select the HIT any time and there is no target to be reached.

Or there is no limit to do certain task. Here the person can earn something for enjoyment, like I earn money and enjoy spending them for my luxury than spending my parents’ money. Sometimes some funny HITs come around like the one I remember is “TRACE THE DOTS” I was being paid for enjoyment, it tested my concentration and gave me money for my effort.

The Mechanical Turk site is really innovative to give opportunity to common people do some unusual task than rather making us participating in some scam website.

Here we get paid for our work, and the amount is good for that task, if we are not satisfied with the amount then we have an option to ignore the HIT.

I earn approx. 2.5 dollars in 1hr, I hardly spend 1.5 hour a day. I do this M Turk as part-time when I am bored or have no other work, it makes me feel proud that I am earning for my satisfaction.

3$ is not much when it comes to USD, but in INR its 56Rs Indian currency, it’s like I earn Rs. 3500 per month, this money is satisfactory for me if I have given my 100% efficiency for 1hr for 30 days.

I love M Turk and love to do more HITs as much as possible, I am interested in doing research HITs because it makes me know about new things. Mechanical Turk is a place where small people do small task but get more returns.
