Amazon Mechanical Turk

Recommended Posts

All you need is an Amazon account. Go to https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome and sign in (and put in address information if you haven't). Then you can start making money. You'll find lists of tasks ("HITs") which are basically things that computers can't do well but humans can, so they give you small amounts of money for each one (most are $0.02 - $0.10). A lot of HITs aren't worth the effort but occasionally there will be a huge number of them that take just a few seconds and minimal thought. For example, recently there were about 35,000 where you were given a picture of an article of clothing and asked to verify its color (I got 750 before they ran out).

 

Once you've completed them they'll be verified and then you can choose to have the money put into an Amazon giftcard or directly into a bank account.

 

I've only done enough to make about $15 U.S. but my friend made around $200 before.

 

Update: Some of my HITs got rejected, but I've still made $10.74 so far:
