AOL had an ad titled “Quickest ways to make money.” The article started with the least desperate way to make money to the most desperate way to make money. I believe the most desperate way was “selling your sperm” or something along those lines. Somewhere around number 12 was “Become a mechanical turk for a website and do human intelligence tasks.” I had no idea what this was, so I did a quick google search, and Amazon’s website popped up. So here I am, working as a mechanical turk. I have decided to try to see how much extra money I can make in one year, and then buy something for myself with only that extra cash saved by being a mechanical turk worker. I am not trying for much money, only working an hour or less a day, but I figure I can save at least $100 by the end of the year. I actually find it kind of fun, though, so at the rate I am going, I could even save up to three hundred or more. I will have all of this extra money just by wasting time and sometimes even having fun doing surveys or filling out information on the internet. In my opinion, that is a lot better than playing an online game, or surfing the web due to boredom. I figure this way at least I am doing something that is sort of productive, since I am making a little money in the process!
