Okay with all the money making buzz out there its kinda hard to differentiate whats real from scams. So after hearing about  Amazon Mechanical Turk  I decided to check it out for myself. It can be really hard to figure out how to make money online especially when your friend next to you is yelling SCAM SCAM SCAM constantly. So I decided to look into it myself and find out what it was. To my astonishment i made about 200 bucks in a few months! pretty crafty eh?  Now in no way am i trying to advertise them, because I'd tell you down right if I thought it was a joke.  I actually managed to make some decent cash on it and I barely did much.

So how does it work?

Its easy, basically you sign up to be a mturker (As me and my friends call it). Then you click "HITs" find out which ones you like and do the task assigned. The tasks range from filling out a survey for 10 min to writing a 500 word paper to translating a sentence into french. Each pay something different. The lowest I've been payed was 10 cents, and the highest was 7 dollars for one HIT.  They all vary, but its based on what you can do. So long story short, I told all my friends and now they do it like crazy ( minus the friend who yells SCAM SCAM SCAM at everything) and its pretty satisfying.

Getting yo Monay:

To actually get paid you can route the money directly into your bank account or use it on an amazon gift card, but you need to make at least 10 dollars to do a transaction, which if you're like me, was pretty easy!

The Good:  If your patient, this is the best way to make money without ever leaving your home. If your diligent you can wind up making anywhere from 10 an hour to 30 an hour to who knows...the sky's the limit!

The Bad:  Sometimes there are those who post tricky ads stating the best way to make money is by doing their HITs.  Be wary of anything paying ten dollars or more, and never give your credit card information or anything personal, but fear not there are bad people in every good business that's how you know its good!
