I found out about Mturk, last year at a time when i was looking for a new job. I was staying at home, mailing resumes, calling up consultants, but i was free most of the time, and really bored. I wanted to see if there was a way i could earn money in my free time, not too much, just some change. I think i found out about this in a blog somewhere, and decided this could not be a scam since it was run by Amazon. So, i started tentatively, and tried to earn at least $1 a day, doing some task or the other, so that at the end of the month i would have at least earned $30. I did manage to do that, and even though i stopped doing Mturk for a few months, since i was too busy working, on a project. However i have managed to earn about $320 on this site, which i feel is pretty good. I started working on Mturk hits, as a way to earn extra income, and i must say, it has helped me buy some nice stuff. I mostly transfer the money to a bank account, where it is posted as a Direct deposit, which is another added advantage for me. Overall i am very glad that i found this site, and even though there are plenty more freelance sites out there, i think this is the best, since here you can really work at your own leisure. Also you do not have to bid on the project, like for other sites, and you can work on the Hit, as long as you qualify for it.
