Amazon Mechanical Turk

MTurk.com Logo


I heard about Amazon's Mechanical Turk service while searching the web.  The idea of this site is that there are some jobs that computers cannot automate.  Things like copying business cards, accurate translations, and calling businesses to get e-mail addresses.  I spent approximately 10 minutes setting up my account and doing HITs (jobs) and then logged off.  I logged back in a few days later and found that I had a little over $3.00 in my account.  I figured I would jump on this weekend and make a little more.  Yesterday I was shopping for some cables on Amazon and found what I needed, I then proceeded to checkout and found that I could pay with my Amazon Payments account, which included the money from MTurk.  I was very pleased with this as there is no real waiting involved, and no minimum you need to earn.

I will keep working on this one and fill you all in on the details, my nice goal is to earn enough to buy an Xbox 360 game.  If I can use this just to fuel my gaming habit I will be happy!  The site to join and get started is www.MTurk.com.  Enjoy!

  3. I thought this was fake, it didn't seem like something Amazon would do. But I guess I was wrong.

    You can't get your gain on your paypal if you're not in US, but you can pay on Amazon with.
