What Is Your Opinion of MTurk?
Has anyone on HubPages worked for Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk)? What is your opinion of this site? I tried it and it's actually making me appreciate HubPages more, since the work on MTurk is tedious and pays little.
I do a few things on there but also find it not very paying unless you can do transcription type of work.
I do a few hits when I am waiting for something else to happen when I am online.
I'll have to look at the transcription hits to see what they entail. So far, I've focused on surveys. I was also hoping to do it in my spare time, but I really wonder if I should be doing something I enjoy instead, like writing? Thanks!
There are hits that want articles written also, I use the search bar a lot to look around for hits that pay a little better.
Good Luck!
