  So a while back i tryed the Amazon Mturk program to see if i could actually make some legitimate money working online with Amazon. it was an easy program to get set up with, and it seemed like easy work.

   But after the first 2 or 3 days, the zeal wore off, and i noticed that for the 4 to 6 hours i had worked, i had made less than four dollars. The worst part being that you cant withdraw any money until you reach five dollar increments. So for me to even get my hard earned $3.70, i would have to put in another 2 or 3 hours.

   I don’t know who this program was made for, companies already outsource mundane work to third world countries, is this just made to expedite the process? It is in fact easy work most of it, most of the jobs i fulfilled were simply sifting through pictures, making sure they all match the subject at hand. But each simple job is only worth around five cents.

   So to sum it up, your time would be better spent searching for a job that pays minimum wage, than it would Mturking. I just wanted to get this information out there so that people didn’t waste their time, there isnt anything else really posted on the reality of it.
