Making Money Online with Amazon's Mechanical Turk

I was looking for a way to make some extra money online during my free time. I like to be productive while I’m online and would rather spend time making money rather than spending time playing games or using social networking sites.

I stumbled upon Amazon’s Mechanical Turk one day and took a look around. At first I wasn’t impressed. You could sign up for a free account and do hits to make money. Some of the hits that I saw only paid two cents a hit. I thought there would be no way to make money at that rate. But I tried doing it for a while and before I knew it I’d made a few dollars.

I then looked for some higher paying hits and found some that paid a few dollars and all they wanted was a review written for a particular product. The first few times I used Mturk I made a few dollars a day. I now can easily make up to fifty dollars a week or more by doing hits in my free time. That adds up to a decent amount of extra spending money. And I enjoy doing the hits.

I particularly enjoy taking surveys and writing reviews. It’s a great way to make some extra cash online in your free time. In the span of about eight months I’ve made over a thousand dollars. You can receive your payments either by getting an Amazon gift card or by having your funds direct deposited into your back account.
