Another Place I Make Extra Money

I make money doing quick tasks for Amazon Mechanical Turk. This is free and is run by Amazon.com. I do not make any money by relating this information. This is just a suggestion for those who might like a little extra money to spend. It adds up quickly if the right tasks are available. I just thought I'd pass this on for interested parties.

See my comment above. People from foreign countries to America can sign up, but some of the tasks require US citizenship or require a person to have very good english skills. However, some are surveys or classification projects which only require selecting an option. The best are the ones that go quick and aren't hard. Some of these pay less, but can accumulate money easily if they are done quickly in a row.

I checked out this site before but never fully got the hang of it. Plus I never got to complete any of the task available. Perhaps there was a problem with my browser. How much are you making roughly from this site? I dont join new sites unless I can make a worthwhile amount, as I believe I had good enough sites to earna few dollars daily.

It works okay in IE 7, but is much better in Firefox, especially if you have sped it up with the about: config command. I have earned $78.00 since joining in November and keep on earning. You have to work within the time limits on the site, meet qualifications to do certain tasks, and be willing to do low pay, although I have completed hits that pay up to $5.00. Some pay more, but I do tasks based on whether they are easy enough for the pay provided. Some that pay more require a good amount of time to complete, like a couple hours. The sped up Firefox program is essential to piling up earnings much faster.

I've checked that long ago. But somehow I did not find it interesting. Also Amazon.com does tell about this program much, I suppose.

I dont think I can sign up for this, I am not from the US.

I checked out the site, but I don't think I'll be joining. The pay is just too low, and the tasks take time to complete. I also did a web search about peoples' experiences with the site, and so many people said they worked for like an hour and made 20 cents. I know you don't make more than that in an hour on mylot, but at leat mylot is fun. STill, I'll bookmark it in case I change my mind in the future.
