I am a mechanical turk, but I’m really a human. I’ve been doing this for almost a week now, and I’ve earned almost $7.00. I’m trying to help pay my rent because I am very low income and I’m always short at the end of the month. Since I am new at this, I don’t have alot of hits available to me and most of the ones that are don’t pay very much. Right now I am extremely sad. One hit I had to return because I couldn’t get the sound to play. Another one I spent quite some time on but it was rejected, and it wasn’t until I got the explanation of why it was rejected that I understood what they wanted me to do in the first place! If that info had been in the hit, I would have done it correctly or not accepted it. Then there was one I spent 15 minutes on earlier today trying to earn one penny. Something went wrong when I tried to submit it and instead it gave me a new hit, which I didn’t want, so I returned. Meanwhile I ran out of time on the first one while trying to get back to it. I’m afraid I don’t have a very good success rate but it’s not from lack of trying! I’ve been working about two hours today and maybe I’ve earned about seventy cents. My friend found four cents on the ground yesterday and all he had to do was bend over and pick it up and I got jealous. Honestly. Now this one will probably be rejected because it’s too long. Yes, I ran it thru the spell-checker.
