Thus has been a great experience. In a time where i needed a little extra cash, i found out about being a mechanical turk. It’s great, while im home not working and have spare time, instead of sitting around doing nothing i can come on here and make a few bucks. In one week i have made 14 dollars. That may not seem like much, but every little bit helps me right now. I love this “job”, as its easy and i can always find something to do. I plan on continuing what i do now because its fun and at the same time, i can make cash!

I am a housewife after completing all my house hold work in the morning that is sending my husband to office and my children to the school i am left with lots of time i simply used to watch TV serials and whiling away my time one day my brother through his friends came to know about this online working mechanical turk and he told me the advantages of this online working that time only i came to know about its usefulness and from that time onwards started working on it i have been working for this for past 3 months and i am very much satisfied with it. I now started to encourage my friends to do it and they r also very much interested and now started working on it, on through this i can earn my pocket money and save it also for some useful expenses. Through this we can get to know some useful site and get some useful informations too. I think I hear my real life calling, so I better get back to it instead of whiling away my time unnecessarily.It seems like its getting harder to get any hits. I guess with the economy being what it is, more and more people are scrapping for even the smallest pieces of change. But still it is ok we can read some of the hits and then work on it. I love to work it because instead of going to office getting up early and striving hard and then reaching office this is the best way we can comfortably sit at home finish all the household work and then relax for sometime and then start our work till evening. That will be enough. This incoming cash we can utilise even for some useful purpose like helping the needy those who don’t even get one time meal a day, for this also this cash can be used. Turking has even helped me to better my skills in writing. I HAVE TO SAY IT IS GREAT WORKING WITH TURK. In the near future too however busy i am i won’t stop working this hits and will suggest all my friends to work it. THANK U.( MECHANICAL TURK )

I love to work this hit like the one named mechanical turk it is so informtive and also so interesting since i am a house wife i take my own time to work the hit and then finish all my household job i get enough time to spend for doing this hit nd through this i am able to search all the necessary and do my hit it is a very great experience to work like these type of hits and i encourage my friends also to do it by telling them the advantages of dong this hit, instead of whiling away our time we can do some thin g useful which helps us to earn pocket money and this also makes us independent and no need to depend on our husbands for everythign by sitting at home we can do this at our convienient time without any difficulty and this provides with lots of information and can learn things by doing this job, the final touch is that through this we can learn, earn and work comfortably, i recommend this not only to the house wives bt also for the working people who comes home after work at their fixed time this is best suited for the teachers rather than other professionals because they work form morning 7.00 to afternoon 3.30 so after coming from their job they can take soem rest and also start doing this after their regular job and not only that they can get 2 earnings one from their regular job and one from this job. Thank u.

I wanted to have a little extra cash to buy my mom exactly what she wanted for her birthday so I decided to use mechanical turk. I was very hesitant at first, knowing about all the scams that plague ‘internet fast cash’, and while this is certainly not fast cash- it is actual money. Made a dollar my first day with minimal stress, and I figure even if make a dollar a day until the day of my moms birthday it will be enough to buy what I want. I’m glad I have an opportunity outside of my regular work to earn extra cash. My favorite type of tasks are the surveys because they’re usually quick and simple and don’t take a lot of higher level thinking. I can easily zip through them and know that I will have completed all the tasks rather than having to worry about getting them rejected because of incompleteness due to bogus rules. I have also found that some HITS are close to impossible, so I really try to stay away from those. I’ve told a few of my friends about mechanical turk but they mostly don’t believe me or believe it is a scam [I guess we’ll see!]. All in all, it has so far been a very good experience.If this works out I could see me using mechanical turk in the future frequently due to the ease of working from home and working from my computer. I am very happy with Amazon.

It was the summer of 1976, we had celebrated our country’s 200th birthday, and I was headed to graduate school in New York City. My friend moved me from college in his family’s station wagon. I rebuilt my bookcases, set up the Smith Corona typewriter my parents had just given me, and was back in business. Not that studying was my strong suit: I am a dreamer and a wanderer, so there is no more interesting spot on the planet for the likes of me than the Big Apple. The school is mall, modeled on a college of Oxford or Cambridge – a grassy haven with great trees, squirrels and park benches along the walkways between dormitories and classroom buildings. The city grabbed my eye like Marlow Thomas in “That Girl” walking down the street wearing an astonished, upward gaze. Entertainment was cheap and always available: we watched episodes of “Kojak” being filmed, rode the subways with a “Nut in Every Car” a la Bill Cosby, went for sunny walks in Greenwich Village. Pizza was fifty cents a slice, the Italian grocery sold three miniature pastries for a dollar, and for a quarter we took moonlit round trips on the Staten Island Ferry. Everyone came home at night with a story: once my roommate arrived breathless, saying she knew the gorilla jumping up and down on top of the VW beetle wasn’t real because she looked carefully at the nails on its feet. Graduate school is the best place in the world for making friends, too. Everyone shared the same interests, and we ate and worshipped together daily, too. I made a best friend for life because I really liked a speech we all heard and he came to find out why since no one else had approved of it. There was tremendous administrative upheaval going on that beclouded the older students when I arrived. So a group of us formed what we tagged, “The Committee” and put ourselves in charge of surprises, parties, pranks, and various other elements of good cheer.

They say I have Google-fu, that my skills as an office monkey have far surpassed those that came before me. Now, during these hard economic times (and oh how that phrase has taken on such weighty cadence in the last few years) and with facing continued upkeep of a two-income-household on just the one income, this is my little escape that also earns some fun-money. Something I can keep to myself as we continue to tread water.

My experience as a mechanical turker so far has been a pretty good one. I joined the site many years ago when the program was first getting started. I have not used Mechanical turk in a few years, but decided to check it out again a few days ago. I’m glad that I did. The taks now are more difficult than they were years ago, but that’s not really a bad thing, because I think that we should have to work for the money were getting. Years ago I was too young to have a job, so this was a great alternative. I spent weeks on the site accepting and completing hits until I saved up almost $160 dollars. I was able to order the Nintendo DS I wanted and a game. Neither of which I would have ever had enough money for with mechanical turk. It’s a great program, and while the money-making process can be slow at times, it’s still much needed money!

I have been using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk for about a week now. I suppose I have become a bit addicted to it. I guess the fun of Mechanical Turk is that it is sort of like a game for me… like I am completing tasks in a game for “points” except the “points” are actually real money. I wouldn’t be here, spending hours on completing tasks for under minimum wage pay each day, if it wasn’t fun. Oh, well, I suppose it’s educational, too. I like completing writing HITs(such as paraphrasing sentences, rewriting articles, or writing new articles entirely) as they are good practice for improving my vocabulary and literary skills in general. The reason I initially joined MTurk is because I’m saving up for a netbook laptop that I hope to be able to buy in about a month from now. It’s impossible for me to get a job right now, so I’m hoping that “turking” will help me at least shave off a decent chunk of the $320 that I have to come up with by then. (So far, my earnings have averaged $1.67 a day, and that’s with half of my total submissions still pending. If I keep this up for exactly one month from today, I will at least earn $50 towards my future laptop. Given that half of my submissions are still pending, that could be about a good $100 towards my laptop! Now, say I do this for a whole year, averaging about $100 per month. That’s $1,200.00 in my pocket for whatever I want, earned in my spare time.) I can see myself using it past that point, though. Instead of wasting my time with television and unproductive activities on the internet, I can turk away my boredom and earn a little bit of extra spending money all at the same time… and that’s what I love about Mechanical Turk.

Am searched any kind of internet jobs without investment. but all website show free but if you go to that site it show pay something to activate your activate your account. mechanical turk is one of the best online job portal. any one need part time job its one of the best site to get the job without investment. mechanical turk is intermediate between requester and worker. its the best idea to get the good results to the requester. before six month i joined parttime world.com but the website didn’t give survey frequently to me. they send weekly one or two surveyes only. if i make the call to that person, they said i wont response for any kind of problem, I payed $10 to activate my account, but i wont get any amount from this website. I suggest Mechanical turk is the best site to do the online parttime work. mechanical turk pay your amount with in a week without fail. its the great site!!! thanks to mechanical turk.

I’m a web writer by day and a turk by night. I’m so new to turking that I just celebrated reaching the $5 milestone in earnings. I’ve been surprised by a couple of things about participating in Mechanical Turk. For one, I obsess about my quality percentage (knowing that a higher rating will bring me a shot at better assignments). I give my quality rating more attention than my earnings – which could explain why I’ve earned less than $10. Occasionally, I hit the submit button prematurely before completing the full assignment and wince when I consider what my error will do to my quality rating. Secondly, for my day job, I’ve needed to take the time to learn more about social networking, blogs, wikis, tweets, etc. I’ve been reluctant to take the time from what I deem to be “more serious” work to explore the newly evolving communication media. But, hey, pay me a dime and I’ll be happy to learn how to post to a blog, forum and even to whatever communication form this diary I’m writing now will take. I’m not surprised that I hand over my written work with no qualms about retaining copyright or without knowing if/when/where it will be posted. I think my day job as a web writer has taught me not to hang on to ownership of my work products. This fall, I will be working a part-time job on the weekend that is totally non-turkish. I’ll be outdoors, doing very low tech work that requires more stamina than creativity and brain power. It’s nice to know I can still turk when my schedule allows.
