I stumbled across a link to Amazon Mechanical Turk in an email from a friend, he had forwarded a “How to Work From Your Sofa” article. The article included links to online job sites. I checked a few of them out, was not impressed, then opened AMT – I figured “what the heck, its through Amazon.” So I signed up and have been earning a minimum of $1.00 per day some days as much as $5.00. I work part time as a merchandiser for an energy drink company, it’s a mindless job and I wasn’t feeling challenged! Video games can only be so much of a challenge, even the games like text twist and such. Now I have AMT. I love the hits that make me think! As much as I hated my English classes in high school and college (probably because of the teacher, I had the same one for both) I truly enjoy doing rewrites and transcriptions. Never thought writing would pay off! Though it isn’t much money, at a penny to $0.25, I have gotten a few hits that pay a dollar or two. As others have said, it does add up! I’ve been eyeing the Kindle, I thought I could NEVER afford it. Amazon Mechanical Turk is like playing a video game that pays off…so this grey haired grandma turker will have that Kindle after all, then I will keep going to pay for the book downloads…Thank you, Amazon Mechanical Turk!!!!
