I call mechanical turk my low paying great job. With other income diminishing to near zero I sit aside time each day for this duty. My commute costs nothing, clothing is optional, the office mates are great, I even sleep with them. Perfect hours, what more can I say? I love it. I prefer working late at night when it’s quiet, sometimes with music on., sometimes the news channels on TV. I sit a goal for a certain number of hits or amount of time and work it like a job. The pay comes quickly, it’s easy to transfer into my checking account. Data entry for items like rugs, postcards, business cards are my favorites, then surveys and the occasional grading transcription. I like that you select what you will work on and can return one if it ends up not being to your liking. Finding this was a surprise, I rarely read the pop up stories when reading email, but this was in an article about things to do if you were desperate for money. This was about the only thing I hadn’t already done! It’s easier than a garage sale, quieter than a roommate, better than selling the last of my jewelry. It really is my low paying great job! I love it and hope to continue doing it even when (not if) my finances pick back up.
