Title: mturk
Post by: Infernal on November 29, 2005, 03:11:44 pm
www.mturk.com is an interesting new online job made by amazon.  Its a contracting job and the amount u get paid is on how fast you can click.  The jobs are called HITs short for human intelligence tasks, each one of these " hits" gives you 3 cents.  I can do about 5-6 a minute so i get about 8-9 bucks an hour ( not bad considering you can work however much you want and whenever)
now that pays more then my real job at a grocery store for 6.75 an hour =D

Yeah, I saw this on some forums a few days ago. Here's a set of forums dedicated to this:

http://www.turking.com/

I haven't had a chance to turk much, but I will definitely be checking it out - there's some programming books I want, and my mom likes to read too. A LOT. :)

Which scripts you use? I need to make some money off this, and I've only made like 5 bucks total. I'd love to be making $20-$30 an hour!

and correction im only making 8 bucks an hour with scripts considering theres no more picture hits and they gayed up the artist hits to make them take longer... but i should be making a good 20 dollars an hour once my qualification for podcast clears up...

PS: if ur fluent in french and english u can make an OK salary translating at mturk.com its only 1$ every 500 charecters but u can make around 20$ an hour doing that...

I've made 60 bucks with this.  However, with the holidays, it's next to impossible to turk ANYTHING on mturk.com.  No HITs are available anymore.

4 bucks?  Try 4 cents.  That's what it's telling me at least.
Title: Re: mturk
Post by: Infernal on December 18, 2005, 07:36:16 am
no those are the unqualified podcastes.  If you take the qualification test, and pass, there are hits that take about 10 minutes to transcribe and give you from 3-6 dollars. Once whisperwords store opens up youll see more of those.
