It's been a very unproductive phase this season. SharedReviews - still in hiatus, myLot - not that pulling with less friends around, the PTP, PTR and the PTP sites monotonous and not quite revenue generating - this has been one of the most unproductive and passive phases. Given the circumstances, I could only concentrate on mturk.com. mturk is a secure and genuine online earning site powered by Amazon Web Services.
"Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work
that requires human intelligence. The Mechanical Turk service gives
businesses access to a diverse, on-demand, scalable workforce and gives
Workers a selection of thousands of tasks to complete whenever it's
convenient.
Amazon Mechanical Turk is based on the idea that there are still many things that human beings can do much more effectively than computers, such as identifying objects in a photo or video, performing data de-duplication, transcribing audio recordings, or researching data details. Traditionally, tasks like this have been accomplished by hiring a large temporary workforce (which is time consuming, expensive, and difficult to scale) or have gone undone."
Here, we can enroll ourselves as 'Workers' or 'Requesters' or both. As a worker we get plentiful number of HITs ( Human Intelligence Task). We can accept, complete and submit tasks ( posted by the requesters) and collect rewards for completing them.
The fact that we can get to select from innumerable HITs makes it easier and fun oriented. You are never short of tasks, never short of rewards thus. mTurk has been an oasis in this dry season. I have earned more than $100 in a short span. You can enroll yourself too and see them coming.
Payment procedure is clean and has been streamlined recently. If you are a non-US resident, you need to upload your ID proof. The authentication takes a few days. Once the documents are validated you can request for withdrawal. They charge a shipment fee of $4 for non-US countries. The check reaches you within 15 days.
mturk doesn't want you to bring in referrals or page views- something I like best about the website. It has a definitive structure that works on productivity and knowledge. What you give is what you get back.
The only thing, that mturk can upgrade on is the method of payment. Introducing Paypal - the safest online bank - things would have been easier and faster. However, having said that, I am happy with the current payment procedure. The brand Amazon never fails, I guess.
