Mechanical Turk is a “microjobs” site from Amazon where you can get paid to perform small tasks.
Apparently there are more than 500,000 workers on there.
A 2018 academic study analyzed 3.8m tasks completed by 2,676 workers on MTurk and found that average earnings through the platform amounted to $2 per hour. Only 4% of all workers earned more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour.
As I scour the internet looking for legit ways to earn money online – so I can share them with you – it boggles my mind to see so many people spending serious time on sites like MTurk for very little reward.
Please don’t be one of those people.
If your most marketable “skill” is an ability to mindlessly click on stuff, you’re never going to earn very much.
Go learn some real skills that the market values and you’ll fare much better.
