Bored? Get stuff...

Well I ran across mturk.com the other day... It's from amazon, and it's pretty simple just look through the pictures and find the business/address they're requesting. You get $.03 per. I go through them pretty fast, made $32 in since yesterday just doing it in time I would be just listening to music talking to people...

They can pay you through Amazon gift certicates or deposit in a bank account...

I'm going to do the Amazon GC, cause they offer detailing products(from AutoGeek it looks like).... 33oz of Klasse AIO for basically nothing. Just letting you guys know.

I got a bunch of pictures to select from and none of it made any sense to me !! i had to match the business, address, and/storefront...i didnt even know what to select!

I took a look at two of them, and I could do those in 10 seconds a piece. Neither one had the business located in the pics as far as I could tell though.

The pics weren't the clearest, so I couldn't even read some of the business names.

have they actually paid you? i always wonder about stuff like this!

White95Max · 11-13-05, 08:19

They give you the business name and address, and you have to select which one of the pictures shows the business entrance or address the best. Or that's what I was asked to find each time.
I looked at another one, and two pictures were almost the same, both clearly showing the sign for the business. I wouldn't know which one to pick.

And considering if you find 100 of them per hour, that's only $3.00/hr.

Yeah, they pay... I can do 6 a minute so thats about 360 an hour, at .03 a peice that's ruffly $10 an hour.

I usually just pick the best picture of the business if there are more than one. The thing I hate is the slow acceptance times on some... I have like 300ish in pending, or what I refer to as pergatory. But it's easy money for when you're just listening to music.

White95Max · 11-14-05, 09:36

So you've actually received your rewards for doing this? You've ordered things from Autogeek?

White95Max · 11-14-05, 10:29

I just went to register for it, but I don't like where they say they (or any affiliates) can use your information without any obligation of confidentiality. Then they say you are required to submit a valid bank account before you can work on any of the HITs.

Hm, I didn'thave to submit a bank account.... And I haven't ordered anything yet, will be doing that tonight.

a.k.a. Patrick · 11-14-05, 12:53

Paul thats (I believe) if you currently dont already have a Amazon Acct.

White95Max · 11-14-05, 04:21

I don't have one.

You don't give them that much information, and the reason it is disclosed is becuase of the companies that use MTurk. They share your info, and your accepted/rejected ratio to the companies so they can get the best quality of work and/or demographic.
