The Mechanical Turk Diaries

I went on a picnic to Satapada with my friends

2014-02-27T00:00:00-05:00

I went on a picnic to Satapada with my friends. Though we had planned to explore the beaches but due to paucity of time we had to change that decision and decided to spend our picnic at the forested areas of Satapada. I did not find the area fruitful still i felt it was better than cancelling the picnic. We reached Satapada on time and while our food was being cooked, we all decided to explore the forest life. I was a bit scared because there were huge trees all around and i knew that if it gets late then it would be get dark and might create a hindrance for us to get out of the forest. So i asked all my friends to move together so that everyone stays together. While everyone was busy taking photographs, i was constantly looking at my watch out of fear. I felt as though a tiger or a lion would attack me from the back. Suddenly i saw a beautiful plant with yellow flowers that caught my attention and i kept watching it for minutes. After few minutes i observed that no one was around. I got panicked and went mad. I shouted but could not hear anyone’s voice. I kept running here and there but traced no one. I was angry on my friends because they did not make any efforts to wait for me. I had no battery in my cell phone as well. Suddenly i heard few weird noises and i was so terrified that i started running helplessly. Thankfully, i saw a bus standing at one corner and that was the one that we all had come to Satapada. I asked the driver to drop me at the picnic spot where i saw my friends enjoying and partying. I was hugely upset but then i did not want to spoil their mood. So i decided not to narrate my harrowing story to them and rather enjoy with them.

When I was an unbeliever

2014-02-26T22:28:00-05:00

When I was an unbeliever, I used to be anxious easily about future matters like what to eat, what to wear, where to live if I lost my job, and worry so much about death which is inevitable. I don’t want to die. Life is too beautiful to lose. I don’t want to lose my loved-ones, either and I don’t want to be missed by them. I have been searching for an explanation about life like why am I here, where did I come from, who created me, how did I come into being, and what is really the purpose of my existence. Science can only explain a little about creation like the sexual copulation between my father and mother but still insufficient to me. If I were to ask which came first, the egg or the chicken? There will be endless arguments as to which indeed first started. I came to ask myself again, how did the space and all the galaxies in it come into being. Still, science will fall short of its explanation. From here, I came to resolve that there is really a type of knowledge which is beyond the grasp of human intelligence and imagination called mystery. 2000 years ago came a Man witnessed by four credible gospel writers (by the names of Matthew, Luke, Mark, and John) who performed supernatural things like raised Lazarus from the dead, fed 5000 people, made the blinds see, deafs restored hearing, the lame persons walk, died on the cross for my sins and resurrected from the dead after 3 days. It just really made sense to me. His teachings are indeed truth and His truth has set me free. Read the Bible and get to know who this person is.

Confidence gains success

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

It was a fascinating experience / Memory for me to share with. When I was working in one of the Private Company, I have been asked to handle 5000 Forms in one single day which is very much impossible for me. It was a Financial Year End and the processing of Forms will give the results for the sales team who have sourced the Accounts.
There were lots of conditions involved in processing of these forms: 1) I should handle with just 5 members. 2) I need to surrender the systems for the backup at 6.00 PM. 3) my result will give the good output for sales team. 4) If 5000 Forms to be processed within 10 Hrs. each person should handle 3 forms in 2 minutes at least without Break in between.
Initially, I said it is impossible. My colleagues supported me and gave me Idea and plan for achieving it. And so after discussing with my colleagues, I said will do it.
The day came, and started early at 6.00 AM and we were ready in our seats and planned to sit in order. There were 5 Modules to be completed for getting one form to get processed. Our Plan was 1st person to process one single module for all forms and the second person will handle 2nd module, 3rd person by 3rd module, 4th person by 4th module and 5th person by 5th module.
Once the 1st person completes the 1st module for all forms he will move to 2nd module. So that 2 persons will process in second module. And next 1st and 2nd person will complete and process the 3rd module. Finally, all the 5 people processed the 5th module and completed the task.
The big achievement was we finished the task by 5.00 PM and we have got the appreciation from the whole team. This is really a unforgettable memory in my life. The Message gained was “Confidence gains success” and “more than planning, start for implementation is very much necessary for success”

How I Bought My First Bike

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

How I Bought My First Bike:

It was 2 years ago , this same day , I joined mturk.I was not really into it fully.But later I found that I could really make money out of it and it has given me a confidence.As I have recently joined college I do not have enough time to make money from other part time jobs.One of my friends told me about Mturk.After joining, I made 11$ on my first day and started to make 2 dollars daily as I can spare only about 1 hour after my college time.All the hits that I do mainly consisted of simple surveys and took only minutes to complete.Two years after that fateful day today im here telling the world how happy I am to get my first bike and that too out of my own pocket.I made 4500 dollars in the first year and withdrew it to pay my tuition fee.I recently withdrew about 1800 dollars and got my first bike.Without mturk I don’t think I would have had both the confidence and money to get myself a bike without having to borrow from my parents.

I am a girl name reshma

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

Iam a girl name reshma belong to an aristocratic family. I was born and brought up in a serene locality near kerala. At the age of sixteen I had an affair with a boy and we shared each other and spent a lot of time together. Unfortunately he belong to a poor and low caste family. So my parents did not permit me to marry him.

At the age of twenty I got married to a person who belongs to our caste and creed. He was rich, well educated and good at heart. I told him about the affair I had in my teenage. He supported and loved me and our life was very happy.

After 5 years I met the boy whom I loved in my teenage and I was shocked to know that he did not marry any girl as he loved me sincerely.He is still living as single and this makes my heart wound and sorrow.

I am a natural tomboy

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

I am a natural tomboy, so curious about just anything and I got hooked on the web. But I need to sustain this expensive habit, because the bill needs to be paid as soon as possible. Otherwise my comfort zone could be disorganized if bills are not paid on time.
Therefore, I came across Amazon Mechanical Turk through one article I read about how I can make serious money doing what I love best – surfing the net. So, I registered with Mturk and my account got approved. At the initial stage I was doing simple tasks like form filling, surveys, short article writing and other interesting tasks that catches my fancy. Also, the pennies started pilling up and I bought a blackberry phone through Amazon.com.
My advice to the folks who are still struggling to make money online, Mturk remains the number one website where real money can be made, But you must be ready never to lose focus because you are going to sit in one place doing serious jobs. However, if you are good in transcription, Mturk is a good place where the real money can be made.
Currently, I am still in the system working more than ever before, but the only snag in my efforts is that I work full time with a very serious company that could get me fired if they ever got an idea of what I am doing. Trust me, my Wi-Fi laptop is right beside me. It is a pity many want to make cool money online but they are found of going the wrong way. Maybe Mturk will eventually be opened for everybody. Only God can tell.

I am lucky

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

I am lucky to be a part of Mechanical turk, the place where I am proud to be one of the member, the place where you can do some short task and earn some money in spare time, some take is a full time job. Mechanical turk site very popular and number one site in the world, I had never faced any problem during working on task. The trusted site where one can work any time and earn. In this Mechanical turk requester place the work online in this site and the worker who complete the short task provide by the requester. Mechanical Turk pays the payment on time, I never had the problem of payment in this site.I never thought there will a trusted site where I can earn some income. The experience on Mechanical turk is great, I think you cannot compare any site like Mechanical Turk, the one and only site in this work with popular name.This site has different task where you can work and earn money like google search, survey, data entry etc., working on this task are very simple, just has to follow the instruction.Most of the time whenever I am free I work on Mturk and I spend my time working on the hits.I work minimum 4 hrs per days on mturk and working on mturk very exciting, The hits in Mturk are around 4 lacs, I think now short task site will be having so much hits, the more hits the more chance of earning income.I always recommand this sites to my friends who’s salary is not too much, so that they can work on this site and earn some income. The main part is payment, they pay you promptly once you ask for the withdraw of money. This site is just great.

I believe it was exactly 48 days ago

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

I believe it was exactly 48 days ago, around night-time when I first stumbled across this site, Mturk. I was working on clixsense.com where you click ads to get paid and from that site’s forums, I came across Mturk. At first, I did not do any hits immediately. After some days, I caught sight of this wonderful top on Amazon and since it was a little too pricey for me, I migrated back to Mturk.

The free time in which I would have done something less than productive like reading some magazines and stuff are now devoted to Mturk. I would say basically 2-3 hours per day with exceptions like holidays.

I love working through Mturk. I don’t like to wait if I want to do some work. Some sites that I frequented offered more privileges if you spent some money on that site and more work would be available. Mturk is not like that. I don’t like having to wait for days while the requester makes his selection. If I have free time and I want to work, I want to work right now.

Working through hits is great in my opinion. As I said before, I like to do work when I feel like. Not having to wait to do work is a huge plus point for me. HITS are easy, swift and uncomplicated and competitive. After all, everyone likes a little bit of that race in their life.

The payments would definitely be better. Some requesters pay dirt-cheap prices but I guess one can just avoid those HITs like I do. I believe that we all should be paid very fairly for our work because we, those who do work hard, try to put our best into it.

I brought one shirt to my husband and toy kit to my kid

2014-02-26T00:00:00-05:00

First of I thank you for giving chance to share my feelings with all my Mturk friends. I joined in Mechanical Turk one and half year back. Starting I got very confused to do the work. Later I got the work done well. After getting the money I brought one shirt to my husband and toy kit to my kid. They felt very happy.
Later I got confidence that I can do something to my family. Recently we took a house of our own. For that purpose we took gold loan for initial payment. So now I am struggling hard to recover that gold loan so that I could help my husband from my way. My son saw a XBOX in my friend’s house. He stood on his legs that he wants that XBOX. As it is very expensive, I trying a lot to buy that for him. To be frank Mechanical Turk is helping me a lot. Now a day’s day and night I am trying my best to earn more money for mu kid. It is very hard for me to look after my kid, house hold things, my teaching profession and Mturk.
But to fulfill my son’s wished I should work hard. Otherwise he will get very upset which I can’t see. So I am thanking the Mturk for giving this kind of chance where we can earn at any time, instead of simply sitting at home and fulfill our family member’s requirements. When our family is happy more we don’t need anything. Even I giving 5% of my earning to homeless people which makes me feel satisfied.
