Making money on Mturk

[WATFORD]

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a platform where businesses and individuals can post tasks for people to complete for a small fee. These tasks, also known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs), can range from simple data entry to more complex research and analysis. As a worker on Mechanical Turk, you can earn money by completing these HITs and get paid through Amazon Payments.

To get started, sign up for a worker account on the Mechanical Turk website. Then, browse through the available HITs and choose those that match your skills and interests. You can also set your availability, preferences for HITs, and preferred payment methods. Once you have completed a HIT, the requester will review your work and approve or reject it. If approved, you will get paid within a few days.

To increase your chances of earning money on Mechanical Turk, here are some tips:

Complete HITs quickly and accurately: Requesters prefer workers who complete tasks quickly and accurately, so aim to be as efficient as possible.

Look for HITs with high pay and good ratings: Some HITs may pay more than others, so look for ones that pay well and have good ratings from other workers.

Be a reliable worker: Building a good reputation on Mechanical Turk can lead to more opportunities for work in the future.

Diversify your skills: Consider learning new skills so you can take on a wider range of HITs.
