Working from Home, I made $2,768 on Mturk in only 4 months!

Working from home with Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk), I've made over $2,768 in my spare time over a 4 month period. It's not much but it's money I wouldn't have otherwise.

That is correct, you too can work from home and make up to $14 per hour on Amazon Mechanical Turk (Mturk). If you're new to Mturk, it's a service started by Amazon in 2005 that offers a crowdsourcing work marketplace where workers can complete tasks called HITS (Human Intelligence Tasks). These tasks pay anywhere from $.01/task to $10 or more/task. The payout is determined by the difficulty of the task and what the requester (the boss) wants to pay you. You can get paid in USD transferred to your checking or savings account with their payment service, or a Amazon gift card balance.

It may not seem like much money, but the key to making money on Mturk is calculating your dollars per hour when completing tasks and really don't bother with anything that pays you under $5/hour. Anything below that rate is not worth your time. You can learn more on my popular work at home blog, the No BS Zone.
