It was four years ago when the economic crisis hit the world badly and it was at the same time that the Telangana Agitation hit our state (Andhra Pradesh, India) very badly. Market in general in our state touched its lowest point as people were very wary about what would happen next. There were continuous strikes, boycotts, agitations etc. to the extent that all that had become an order of the day. I am into real estate and this is the sector which was largely affected by the ongoing agitation and world economic crisis.
I was vigorously searching for any part time job which would support my finances and take care of my overheads during the period of this agitation. I happened to find an ad in the newspaper highlighting “WORK FROM HOME” and I immediately contacted the person who published the ad. He had sent me some papers by courier in a few days after I paid him a nominal fee online. When I opened the envelope, I found the information about mechanical Turk. Instantly, I liked it, signed up and created my account and started working on HITs. That’s it! I started my part time job which immensely helped me support my financial needs in the times of world economic crisis and our very own shutdown due to Telangana agitation. Though the Mechanical Turk stopped new signing up options from India, I am still able to continue working on HITs and mint some extra money for myself as I had signed up in 2010. Thank you Mechanical Turk!
