If you are looking to make a few extra bucks online you should checkout Amazon's Mturk. For those of you that have never heard of it here is the link: http://www.mturk.com Basically on this site there are tons of tasks to chose from and you can do as many as you would like. The pay for tasks will differ depending on which ones you choose but it is not hard to reach payout which is $10. Here's what is so great about it is you can have your payment send to your account or you can redeem it instantly with an Amazon Gift Certificate for any Amazon products. So once again the link is http://www.mturk.com and it is free to sign up. You should check it out.

It seems like I can't get paid through Paypal. There's no such kind of payment channel. Is it possible for non-Americans to participant in? What is an Amazon Gift Certificate?

You have 2 choices: (1) Sign up with Amazon Payments for free. It is just like paypal, but you will have to transfer money to a bank account to receive it. (2) Request an Amazon Gift Certificate. Getting a gift certificate is instant and you can use it to purchase anything you want on the website: www.amazon.com People outside of the US can participate as well.

Wow, I didn't know mturk was that good. I might check it out later By the way, will there be tasks immediately upon registering and activating my account?

Yes. Once you activate your account you can get started right away because the tasks are never ending. They never run out of things for you to do. And after doing a few tasks that are accepted your approval rate goes up and higher paying tasks become available to you.

Sometimes they will offer opportunities to write blog posts ranging from $2-$10. I have also noticed that they have some opportunities for articles on specific topics. So if you like writing then they will offer some pretty good opportunities.

Sounds interesting. I will definitely check it out. Thank you very much for sharing this. As a seller on Amazon being able to get Amazon gift cards will be very helpful for me, so I appreciate this very much. Thanks again!

Your more than welcome. I never even knew that the website existed until I was an seasonal employee for Amazon in 2007, but I do it from time to time to purchase the things that I want from Amazon's website.

waow thanks for the tip, i just immediately signed up and I was tested and I qualified for a whole lot of tasks....its small though, but at least a little cents here and there doesnt hurt does it?

yes, some of them are small when you get started. But here is a tip that I use. If you do about 5 tasks that get accepted you your approval rate will increase to about 100 - 91% once it gets there, then you can actually set the pay range that you are looking for up in the blue box near the top of page. For example if you are looking for tasks that pay at least $1.00 per task, just type in $1.00 and it will pull up results for that criteria.

Thank you so much! I am definately going to try this! I love Amazon - most of what I buy is from there! I'm currently unemployed so I'm trying to save my money and earn Amazon Gift cards from different places. I already have a $5 GC from another website!

Oh?? that's interesting!! I would like to know if ho many time you did receive payment from this site? I am just curious because there are so many people telling about online earnings in different sites only to find out they just exist for months and then gone and they don't receive any payment. I've heard this mtmurk before but never check it but now it seems nice to check it out. This is cool!! much more if you can give more information about it.
