This is cool. Last night I tried this out for a couple of hours not expecting much out of this and to my surprise today I receive an email saying $30.00 has been credited to my Amazon account with another $30.00 pending review. All this for about 6 hours of solid work.
It's in Beta and unfortunately it's been down for maintenance all day today so you can't see the HITS. Right now the work consists of simply choosing amongst a group of pictures the one that best represents the storefront of a business that is asked for to be used for some kind of yellow pages service. It pays $0.03 for each submission, doesn't sound like much but they go fast, I averaged 6 per minute (with help from a script, totally legal), do the math and it comes out to $10.80/hour  |
