I have no knowledge of this area; from what i've heard, most of them are scams. Does totse know of such websites that will give money(to like a paypal account) for meaningless tasks?

I can't remember the site but it's legit.
Yes anything that pertains to work like doing surveys, reading e-mails etc.
It's not surveys, it's sorta like an actual job.
I do it.
Working online depends on your skills, really. Chacha.com is ok, and I've heard you can make about $10 per hour with it. Support.com sometimes hires tech support, and it's all through email, chat, or phone.
There's plenty of job boards for online work to be found. Elance.com is just one example. I won't tell you exactly which sites I use because I have enough competition as it is, but hopefully some of these will help you out.
Jesus. Chill out, man. That's what we were all saying.
Extremely simple tasks, that don't take much thought. Some of the best hits on mturk are the lower paying ones with hundreds in the group. .10 to re write a question. Those will give you close to $12/hr if you can think and type at a decent pace. Research studies that pay $2.50/per takes 10-15 minutes to complete. $10-12/hr
Transcription ones are good with a bit of practice and when the up your qualification score. You can pull $20/hr. I recommend a good set of headphones.
Also: there is oDesk, but they monitor you. and you have to double check on the pay, I almost took a job for $200 updating an email database (copy/paste email addresses) but after a couple questions realized it would have taken almost 3 weeks.
Actually, none of you said anything about it sucking. You said it's not what it used to be, which it's not. The last time I checked it out, it was filled with people with poor English skills who would work for a dollar or two per hour and be happy. I vaguely recall some sort of ranking system (?) where you had to do the lower paying tasks for a while before getting the higher paying gigs?
All that I'm trying to recommend is you choosing a skill, getting a portfolio together, and being a freelancer at whatever you decide to do. Elance and Odesk were mentioned and are both decent. They also pay a lot more than Mturk does. I've contracted numerous article packages and made about $15 per hour through Odesk. The monitoring thing only happens if you are getting paid hourly, and it makes sense because it proves to your employer that you are actually performing your work. All it does is take a screenshot every few minutes and keep track of your typing speed.
I've personally never worked on Mturk, but have experience giving work through it and I have never received a halfway decent outcome from it. That is what I'm basing my experience on.
Yeah ChaCha is legit and has decent volume but it's boring as fuck (at least to me). I worked for Support.com for a couple of years and the actual support is all over phone and remote access (it's pretty much chat or phone to get them online and then you ideally get them to fuck off while you work on the computer remotely - no connection, usually no service). SupportSpace.com is similar except it's I-9 instead of W-2, paid on commission for services you do instead of hourly (could be good or bad, depends on how you play it). Support.com isn't just something you could do with no skill set, though, you'd need actual tech background (and ability to *support* tech to end users). http://corp.support.com/ check here for "Solutions Center Engineer", that'll be tech support. You could try for sales, it's work-from-home too. Last I heard, $9/hr + commission for sales over quota.
Best way to make money online is pedobaiting. I just have problems looking at pictures of old man cock, even for a second. The only time I did it was for Amazon gift certificates. I was amazed at how easy it was.
I'm registering a worker account.
Yes, for the most part. Go to turkopticon and get the firefox extension so you can see the ratings and reviews of the requesters. There are scammers from time to time that will take your work, reject it, and not pay you. But Amazon still lets them keep your work. GAY
In thousands of hits I've completed though, I only have 1 rejection, and that was my own fault.
Couple good requesters:
Castingwords (If you have good headphones and can type fast, Usually make $5 transcribing a 5 minute transcript, Which takes about 15-20 minutes to do)
QuestionsSwami (writing, grading, editing, website content, mostly hotel reviews and shit)
Andy K (rewrite a question in your own words, .10 usually take only a matter of seconds, hundreds of them in 1 hit, so when he does post them, you can knock out better than $20 an hour.)
Also I have never had a problem with any of the research studies. 10-15 minutes of work (mostly just a short survey) Most pay pretty well, $1-5 but most around $2.50
And the more work you do and the better you do it, the higher they will up your qualification scores, which means for requesters like castingwords, you can do better less mind numbing jobs that pay better. Like editing transcripts. Sometimes ones come up to edit a 15 minute transcript ( has a short time limit) and they will pay $20.
Also you have to stay on top of it, first come first served.
I'm gonna have to check out the transcribing ones. :cool:
How much have you made in total?
nvm, site sucks.
Why, what happened?
There are very few $0.01 ones that are any good, and stand a decent chance of making you decent money.
Q- How much have I made?
A- working for an hour or 2 a day for months, anywhere between $10-30 a day, $400-600 a month. Obviously if I spent more time I could make a lot more.
At first it's hard to make much, till you get the hang of it. Sort them by ones you are qualified for, and highest paid.
Then just start doing them and not wasting time sorting through them.
SpeechInk is cool, you know if you didn't do at least a halfway decent job they will reject them right?
If you aren't that great at typing and can read quickly, their's and CastingWords grading ones are good, you'll end up making a bit less an hour though.

Well shit, I'm happy it's working out for you.
Yeah he is a good requester, I hate to say it here, but even if you do a shit job he will still pay you.
Also once you make over $600 off a single requester, you have to pay taxes on it. They 1099? you. Just FYI.
ALSO, the best times to work are on weekdays during the day, most people just do it for extra cash, so the normal times when people are off work aren't good. All the good Hits seem to get raped pretty quick.
Does it pay well?
I used to love to use chacha through texts but it got to where I would ask a question and would get 10 survey texts before I got an answer.
Not really as well as mturk.com can pay if you put in the effort.
Edit: Ok, it's fairly simple to use. Some approvals can take a little while. Start with lower paying HITs first to get the hang of things. Some of them can be completed in seconds, so it shouldn't be hard to make some decent spare cash.
like you wont always get paid for the hits you get or the adds u do
kinda sporadic and wastes a lot of time
unless ur a genius and invents some kinda program to do it for u
I'd just get a real job,
Reading comprehension FTW.
Amazon has a great "credibility rating", Not one of those read our ads or do our survey for money things. Also the whole point is it is jobs that a computer can not do. Things that are too subjective, choices and shit that a computer just can't make.
but when things go wrong, you're the one that's held liable and at times
Amazon will be the neutral party that will not support you
:thumbsup:
Looks like Textbroker is worth the time, especially if you get into the 4-star rating and get the better-paying assignments. 5-star is big money, but you have to be hand-picked for that.
There are barely any 3-star articles on there anymore as that's where most writers are at. However, the last time I was on, there was over 1000 4-star articles available. Direct orders are where the real money's at. You set your own rate for them.
Demand Studios pays $15 per article, but they are very strict on their writing style.
Constant Content allows you to take orders AND put up your own articles for sale, either full rights or usage rights.
I just found this site yesterday that uses a Facebook app and pays the next day through Paypal. I've already been paid $1.20 for about 5 minutes of work.
I literally had to Google .edu sites about a certain topic and post 3 links and that's it. $.30 for a minute's time.
The site is Cloud Crowd.
They have articles available for $6 per article and translation work for like $20! It seems pretty cool so far.
I gave up on Mturk a long time ago and still ChaCha when I'm bored. It's ok, but I only make like $6 an hour doing it. :S
Check out Fiverr if you have a skill you'd sell for $5. I see people offering to write a single article for $5 on there all the time and there's plenty of work.
I've been working in an outsourcing site which is legitimate. Its name is odesk. There are actually more than just odesk, like elance, freelancer, guru, etc. These sites are legitimate so you don't have to worry about it. A guaranteed work means a guaranteed payment. For more info about these sites you can try reading odesk reviews so you'll get ideas about how they work.
