Get paid for completing task from various sources on internet

A question that really hard to answer when we talk about best alternative to Mturk.com, I were trying to find couple of sources to enhance my freelance earning through sites like Mturk.com, Amazon Mturk is a regular source of income for me, I earn being an employer and worker too, but this post I am writing workers perspective only; I wrote an article on How to become an employer on Amazon Mturk if you are from outside of US

 Still let me continue with my research Mturk is good to enjoy freelance task with a small earning source, but the people who are pretty much familiar with Mturk they spend lot of time, may be because they are habitual or not skilled yet about the other sources of Income too on internet, I am also a regular task seeker on Mturk, daily get few bucks in my account by spending 20 to 30 minutes in a day

As per my review and research still not ant site you could find that can be compared with Mturk, you have alternative but they are like a Private executive job against a ministry job in parliament

But you could find site those have adopted a little much way of platform like Amazon Mturk, here you can make money online for completing task and Hits 

As far as I am aware, there are no websites like MTurk that resemble it in every way, but there are places that have some of the Amazon MTurk features and where you can make money online

Cloud Croud I have also gone through a review about this site but now a days the number of task and their type is not good enough, Here we are looking for alternative sources of make money online for completing Task, so it’s just a waste of time where you are not getting task of your choice and in a quantity that could be redeem, it’s a Facebook platform

Micro workers come first in my list, have the best matching feature but they are not yet up to the mark. The website could be consider to an alternative source of income, its look is different, with less task, the payment method is PayPal account, the essential things like payout rates and income on each task is little bit higher than Amazon Mturk, here you get paid for completing task, I have written my few researches on Micro workers Platform you can read them for a deep review about the site 

Shorttask.com is also an option that I can recommend but before that a batter way is also available;Minute worker I have spent lot of time on site being an employer and a worker too, I must say this site is behaviorally act nice in favor of workers always, the site interface is greener and they pay you for publishing thread on their forum and completing tasks like Mturk.com, the payout limit is $10 you can redeem before too in aid to few tax, by PayPal and AlertPay.. You can read an in-depth article about Minute worker on my blog here- The link is not available now

About shorttask.com- this site’s surface is inspired very much from Microworker and its functionality also matches to it, the payment option are 4-5 allows people to payout through PayPal, Alert Pay and lot more… Read the review here

Job Boy is also a batter option available to, its look is pretty much batter then others and here you get $1 in bonus when you signup, Job boy have a good amount of task available not comparable to Mturk or Micro worker but it is good enough comparison to other, the referral system, site pays you for doing Hits like Mturk and you can withdraw your earnings by PayPal

The other ways with them I am familiar are Swagbucks, an online reward club similar to InboxDoller and Mylot, a social network platform to make money pays you for commenting, posting and publishing photos and other stuff… read the Review here

Desk lancer; this option sucks because of bad look of site and only 10 to 20 task are available so I would recommend this post to the admin, if he is reading please invest some effort and money to grow up your network. Still you can join or keep away yourself because the unavailability of tasks and jobs, you are invited if you could wait for 10 to 20 months for your first payout

Inbox Dollars is a kind of rewards club. The task are matched with thing specially the task like Amazon Mturk, this channel pays you through check on minimum payout limit on $30 but it becomes easy because you get $5 in your account as bonus when you sign up. You can also find a detailed review about Review of Inbox Dollars

Mini Jobz, can be your another alternative, and definitely its far batter then Desk Lancer in every way, other things and payout system is like Job Boy and Minute worker, I need your replies about this post for Job Boys; I haven’t cash out from this site so if are experienced about the payout behavior and its genuineness please share

Out of these you could try other ways of make money online and I guarantee you they pay you higher then these networks- Read the review on Best Get paid to Survey sites, these survey could be of anything and pays you more than enough sometimes asking for what you buy!!

I know one more option, I worked for them but I am very upset at the time of payout, admin refused by saying I have cheated them, I don’t know why but the site is probably a scam… it’s My easy task if you have any idea please share your views in comment box

A cheap and older way is PTC, You get paid for clicking on website URL’s and or for Paid to sign up (PSU), I never waste my time on them because of low payout rate on each click

Now here I would say to close this section.. in future ill update you with new sources of Freelancing Platforms…

A small Introduction

I don’t think so if you are internet savvy and you haven’t heard of this way, perhaps for those who are not yet familiar, MTurk is the best source to make money online by completing task commonly known as HITs (Human intelligence task), you the assignment seekers (Worker) get paid to complete them and the requester gets the work done like data entry, surveys, SEO, and article rewriting etc. You get paid in form of check or you can purchase anything from Amazon store by requesting an Amazon Gift card

You can read my article to reveal the new sources of income from sites like Mturk- Top 50 alternatives of mechanical Turk
The Pros and Cons of MTurk
PROs:
You can get paid by working through internet.
Number of jobs and there variety allow you to find assignment as per your interest
It’s a free source of income that anyone can join
Guaranteed Legit source of making money online

CONs:
The task available on Site are not operated by Amazon themselves so they could be scam like when people ask you to fill your personal details, so try to avoid these HITs
MY TOP TEN AMAZON MECHANICAL TURK TIPS AND TRICKS
1. How to walk away from scammers!
Any task if ask you to fill your personal details like; email, full name, address or credit card details. Stay away from them. So this is the real difference genuine requester would not ask for these things
2. Turker Nation n MTurk Forum, The best sources to keep you updated
The Mturk forum inform you about headlines and happening on Amazon Mturk, here you’d share your experiences, you can learn from others, These sites are not official site, but operated by Mturk users. So you would not be benefited if you complaints about scams because the officials of Mturk are not listening you. The links to Turker Nation here and MTurk Forum here
3. Turkopticon Toolbar – How to use it
A major way if you are looking for news about latest task updates and sources related to requester rating, feedback about them, you need to go through this way. This toolbar allows you to get updates about, rating of requester by MTurk worker those previously worked for them, you can find review and ratings by workers like; did they were not spam, they have paid on time or not, this toolbar widget is available for various versions of browsers like, Firefox, Google chrome and IE. To download it click here
4. Why we should refuse the 1 cent hits, unless they are a piece of cake only
Usually a hit takes not less than 3 minutes, so if you are supposed to earn 12 cent to 20 cents in an hour you could work for, but I don’t think so it’s working anymore because you’ll lose the interest. The only thing that you should do, utilize this time for searching highest paying hits
5. Time and Money really matters on each task
The worth of task you could consider by tackling the time taken by the HIT and what you are getting back for completion, mostly hits with paying a good amount requires qualification test to be passed (Not necessarily with every HIT), few hits require you to follow rules and terms too, these instruction helps you to maintain your qualification rate so if a worth accepts you with all terms and paying you good amount of money so please give it a descriptive read too before accepting
6. The highest paying assignments- I prefer Surveys
If you are looking for easy and highest paying assignments, start searching for surveys. I have experienced them as the best and easy way of make money on HITs, each survey pay you on the basis of its length but you can expect $.60 to $10 within 10 to 30 minutes. Sometimes spammers also dress up in form of surveys by asking you fill your personal details so try to away from them
7. If it looks too much easy, so it could be!!
If a requester paying a highest payout HIT only for visiting site or downloading so forget it; they will pay you any way. These schemes are from spammers
8. Keep engage yourself
One thing that is also require to be noticed, to get your first check filled with a good amount on it, you are required to spend at least 20 to 90 minute. Simply as much as time you will spent on site by working on HITs
9. How to optimize search, and use keywords
If you are not getting proper search results so just try this, put your keyword… anything for that you are looking for and select the search result outlay like search on the basis of relevance, sort by highest paying, and sort by date-randomly, beside this you can fill the amount on that you would like to ask for available hits, these credentials are really necessary due because to refine best search results out of 100000000 HITs for you
10. Connect your bank account for Net Fund Transfer
Amazon allows you to inbuilt your bank account to get paid in cash by net fund transfer. Beside this you could ask for Gift cards for shopping or can attach your account for cash. This service is only available within USA, so for outsiders Check is a best solution.

I would like to give an aid in the list of get paid for working on task, from couple of days I have wrote lots of article about Microworkers and MTurk, you can find these articles at the end of this post in recommended article tab

Minute workers is very attractive platform to work on HITs, the advantages that I have experienced are mainly concentrated on employer’s perspective but I always try to review these make money portals strictly for Workers/Users perspective only.

Here are lots of things that I must appreciate and you will be enjoying working with minute worker, like here you get a $1 sign up bonus, posting and discussions on minute worker’s forum is also a way of make money online

The site interface for workers is slightly neat and clean, you will not forget the root between clouds as happens on Mturk. Forum also helping you to tackle issues with rip-off employers and contacting directly with site admin

Another advantage of working here you’ll get paid on each referral  $0.15 on each referral; you will get only 5 cents if the referred user will not complete at least one task

One thing more that I have to say the site staff really takes care of workers issues but they are more conscious with keeping their employers, even though at least it’s a plus point in comparison to Mturk. You get quick responses if any employer Rip-off but they also never lack to block your account if you carrying a huge amount by completing Hits in it (Once happened to me, they block my account by saying my reputation rate is less than 75% and last it were 95%), As per my experience this is a paradise of rip-off players and employers

The payment system is also positive here. You can cash out through PayPal, AlertPay, both ways are fastest ways of getting your payments. As per the site policies you can cash out between the end of month and the payment made between the15th to 25^th of next month  

The Task and jobs available on Minute worker pays you a satisfying rate but they sucks due to spammy requesters, you have to be very careful if you are working with MTurk.

Even though in crowdsourcing alternatives it has gain lots of achievements and popularity, I appreciate the site interface and this is probably the best feature behind success of this portal among competitors in this market. 

Let me tell you how much you could earn in a day, as per my experience here you could find always few task (10 to 15 in a day) in a gap of 12 hours, you can expect $1 to $3 in a day by spending 15 to 30 minute. Beside this I don’t think so giving more time to this site help you to accelerate your daily income because of the non-availability of tasks and hits.

At all minute worker could be a good source for you I withdraw my first payment in 10 days and I hope so by following my recommendation you will give it a try

Today you could find plenty of sites trying to serve you ways to make money online like MTurk andMicroworkers, I think the two giant of this marketplace MTurk and Microworker should be compare to know which one is batter…I have decided to compare them on worker’s perspective  

MTurk Pros in Comparison to Microworker

1. Plenty of HITS/ Daily Updating 
2. No minimum pay out limit for cashing out 
3. Multiple hits available on MTurk, here Microworker offs in comparison
4.  Amazon is a brand you can trust upon because of its vast network and presence in various industries 
5. You can work on HITS as long as you want, they will never finish off and required to wait for new HITs, the pool of jobs automatically replenishing 
6. The Task like surveys, paying a well and their availability amount in comparison other crowd sourcing sites 
7. MTurk is in itself a big community of millions of workers, and you can communicate with them through Turker Nation Forum, Blogs and Turkopticon Toolbar 
8. Occasionally you can expect an unexpected amount too by spending a little time on HITs, Depends on availability of HITs when you accept

Microworkers Advantages

1. Bombarding free task and assignment on Microworker, it gives you an ease to` work on jobs besides a confusing platform 
2. In my opinion Microworker have a good site interface and a pretty look too
3. They shows you rating of employers that rated previous workers and HITs acceptance ratio by them 
4. The Hits like and tweet seems to pay a higher amount here in comparison to MTurk
5. PayPal is a fast and easy payment transfer option that is available here 
6. Microworker, experiences of mine is a good supplement to earn online by crowdsourcing

Conclusion

Beside these advantages a cruel reality is that these site are fill with lots of scammy, rip-off players (Spammers), although I always give time on these site to add few more bucks in my online earning sources

I personally recommend giving time to both, On Mturk I have to give hours in a day when I found HITs or Requester whom I love.  On the other hand I spent 30 to 45 minute n the basis of availability of new jobs

Before continue if you are still confuse and don’t know about Mturk must read this article – AmazonMturk for beginners

MTurk counts your HIT approval rate to assign you a new HIT on the bases of your competencies, so it’s really an important factor behind success on MTurk, as good HIT approval you have  meke you eligible for more HIT. The HIT Approval rate compare your acceptance and rejection ratio of Tasks that you submitted, you can find these figures on your dashboard in MTurk account

Here the main problem that a worker face, requester willing to assign new HIT or Task to workers with 95% or batter approval rate. They will not allow you to work on HITs if your approval rate not meets with qualification rate required. I have experience some of the best paying HITs comes on 95% or a batter criteria and having a bad approval rate will not give you access to earn from thesehighest paying HITs

I never appreciate if you have a problem in your HIT approval rate because it happens due to your avoidance to important things that I am mentioning here, I am helming my HITqualification rate at 98% but when I started working with MTurk I also bring the HITqualification problem with me for couple of day but time lesson us everything. My experiences with MTurk haunt me my lessons time by time

In my research I found reading the Instructions helps even though it could not guarantee you to a Satisfying approval from requester, few days ago I worked on a Task and it got rejected besides theTurkopticon Toolbar were showing the good rating about him. It happed because of the reliability of requester got a significant change as per the Turkopticon reviews, He started using automated software for HIT’s approval that had plenty of errors in it. Read 10 worst things that’s because I hate Mechanical Turk

I worked lot to maintain back my HIT approval rate; I swear this is the worst experience of mine withMTurk because it’s really not fun.

Here I have to say Microworker is enough good when you have to recover from bad HIT Rate it is because on Microworker it maintains automatically time heals from a bad approval rate even we don’t spent time on it you only have to secure yourself from more rejections- Read Top 10 to Top 50 alternatives to MTurk.

In conclusion I recommend you to maintain your HIT approval rate by doing hit on the bases of requester’s reliability rating and the competencies of yours if they match to available HITS. One thing more use my MTurk earning optimization Tips for MTurk Earning

Try to go through the qualification test, and to manage your HIT approval rate keep working onHITs those not paying you a good amount but these hit helps you to reach on the HITQUALIFICATION RATE where you could start to get highest paying HIT’s available on MTurk.

Mturk can give you $10 to $15 in an hour if you are well dressed with in MTurk Nation, If you fallen down to a bad rate start doing secure HITs in them you are expert, prepare yourself for a long haul. A cruel reality at this condition is HIT approval rate is a proportional result of acceptance and rejection criteria, to maintain it doing HITs is not only enough you requires higher or total acceptance results to get out of this hell.
