ALT-2 How to Make Money with Amazon Mechanical Turk
There are countless number of methods to help you make money online, many are known to most people and many are not. One of those methods that not a lot of people heard of is theAmazon Mechanical Turkor AMT for short . In this article we will analyze how it works and how you can make money with AMT.
This is one of those unimaginable methods to make money online and it's completely legal and legitimate, you will be working for Amazon.com company (what more proof of legitimacy do you need !?). Just what is AMT? Well for starters, AMT stands for Amazon Mechanical Turk and it's a market place for jobs that computer and machines cannot do,work that can only be done by good old human intelligence.
So how you can make money this way? It comes down to this, companies that have some tasks that computers cannot do or can not do it precisely, such as writing reviews or detecting a phonographic image, post these jobs at AMT and just like any other job finding website you can go there (after you register) and look for tasks that you envision you can perform, so you will be assigned to do the task. The payout however is a little different from conventional jobs payout. Would you like a job that pays $0.10 per task completed? Yeah it sound ridiculous, but there is a catch that can make that $0.10 to $10, $100, $1000 and so on. The task or as they call it HITs ( Human Intelligence Task ) are fairly easy and quick to execute, most of them can be done under 20 / 30 seconds or less. Some times the task requires you to look at an image and tell them if they are different or look at the page with a specific picture and tell them if its pornographic or unlawful or what have you! I mean that takes about what two seconds. You see what i mean!
OK, let's assume that you pick hits that pay $0.10 and each hit takes about 20 seconds,and you work for an hour, yes you made $18 in one hour. Tell me that's not more than what most of us make! Plus not all of the hits pay $0.02 or $0.10, there are some jobs that pay up to $ 3- $4 per hit, and since nobody dislikes making more money, most of these hits will be taken by other workers right away, so you have to be pretty quick. A useful hint would be to refresh your browser whenever you are looking for hits, because hits are posted constantly and you never know when a high paying hit will be posted.
One thing to keep in mind is that some companies will assign a specific amount of time for the hit to be completed by summarizing how long a worker can keep the hit. Of course the reason for this is making sure that work is completed in a reasonable time period or the time frame that the company needs it to be ready.
Here is the good part, the pay. After you submit your hit Amazon Mechanical Turk will automatically transfer money from the companies (or REQUESTER as they call it) prepaid HIT balance to your amazon gift certificate account. Then you will have two options, you can either choose to transfer the money to your bank account or transfer it to your amazon.com gift certificate balance.
Another great thing about the Amazon Mechanical Turk is the bonus payment. That's right there is a bonus involved too although not for all the hits that you complete. Many companies will give you a bonus in addition to the stated compensation if they like your work and think that you have done a praiseworthy job. So make sure you do a good job. plus workers who do a better job will be recognized, therefore will have a much better chance of getting more hits particularly the high paying hits. so keep that in mind.
