I just signed up yesterday in mturk 'cause I've known that it is like Microworkers where you can do some tasks available and earn money from it and get paid. As I am exploring the site, I think it is somewhat complicated than microworkers. The jobs are somewhat like in Inboxdollars where you have to find the addresses of certain websites,etc. What do you think about that site? Since I am a newbie there,can you give me some tips on how I can earn there and how to do the tasks and what tasks do you usually do and always wanted to do? Thank you in advance,will be a great help for me!

Hi mtr.. Nope I am hearing about this site first time. But after reading other responses this site looks like legit and honest because it is from the amazon itself. I am not even using micro workers.. Cause I read that to start receiving earning they sent some code via mail at home. And after receiving that code we can start receiving money.... Is that true ?? Can't they sent such code via email ?? Its bit confusing so I left the site after joining.

Hi bro AKP Yes, that site is from Amazon. It doesnt pay but sends some Gift Vouchers that you can use to buy products from Amazon. This is what I had read on many other discussions about MTURK. Though personally I do not exist anywhere - neither the MTURK nor the Micro Workers.

@akp..yes they will sent the needed code for you to be paid but it is just to ensure that you are not having too many accounts in that site. The minimum payout is $9 and before you reach out that payout,for sure you will received the code already at your address. It's so easy to earn there akp,try it!

Hey there mtrguanlao! I've been on Mturk going on a year now. I will admit that it is definitely more complicated than Microworkers, but the quantity of work available there is amazing. I usually do the surveys on there. Many of them are short, and you can earn a few good cents for them. They definitely add up. I usually stay away from the tasks that require entering addresses etc. They tend to take up too much time, and you don't earn much from them. I would advise you to do the surveys if you like taking them, and just explore around on there. Best wishes to you ma'am.

Hey there my good friend! Good to see you here! I just did one hit last night and it's about yes or no answer relation,have you done this kind of hit too? And regarding the payment my friend,how do you get paid there? I'm sure you're already earning much there. Will try to do some hits tonight again. See you around friend!

Oh yes I've done those type of hits before. They usually only pay a few cents, but if you do enough of them daily they add up. Another good thing about those is that they don't take that much time to do. I haven't really earned a whole lot on there. I've made around 75 dollars in total on there. I wasn't as active for a while on there though. You can either take the money you've earned after earning 10 dollars, and deposit it into a checking account if you have one. Also you can take the money you earn on there and buy things on Amazon with it. If you participate daily for an hour or so, you can definitely earn a few extra bucks. Best wishes to you mtr.

i personally like the site alot. i like that it has a lot that you can do to earn money. another thing that i like is that i can use the money that i earn to buy things on amazon or have it sent to my bank. the best thing i think is to start with all the easy ones first. it may not earn you a lot, but you'll be learning how it works.

Hi dex! Can I just call you dex? I'm happy we're friends here,it feels good to have kababayan friends here in mylot. I already read your discussion about mturk but will post my reply maybe tomorrow,I just need to log off soon because of my daughter,haha! I envy you,you are earning that much on mturk! How I wish I could have more time on that site. I'm having limited time online since my hubby is still on vacation with us. I also do some of dolores labs' hits and some surveys. I did some works about prosper loans and I wish they will post another hits,haha! I sometimes do the oscar hits too if I find it very tiring to read some more hits,haha! How about you?

Hello MTR, I registered in Mturk when i read that its a good site on one of the discussions here on MYLOT before but when i tried it i found it difficult to use.I did 2 hits after reading your discussion and have not checked if they were approved or not.But really it is complicated to use for me as i have not been there on any of the site like microworker before.

Hi sjvg! I did one hit last night and so far it is still pending for approval/rejection. I hope I did it right,hehe! I'm having second thoughts in continuing it because of its form of payment. Repliers here in my discussion said you can only get amazon checks for payment and use them to buy in amazon. I still have no idea what they are selling in amazon but if I find the stuffs there are something I will need,then maybe i will pursue doing some more hits there. Microworkers is much easier than mturk. It's like just doing some tasks here in mylot,only the rates are far more higher in microworkers than here in mylot.
