The Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace that enables computer programmers (known as Requesters) to co-ordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are currently unable to do. These are called HITs or Human Intelligence Tasks which you will be working on. You will be assigned to do things like identifying objects in a photo or video, performing data de-duplication, transcribing audio recordings, or researching data details.
Go to Mechanical Turk then Select the "sign-in as a worker" link in the upper right corner of the Worker website. You will be asked to provide your email address, name and password. In addition, you will be asked to agree to the Mechanical Turk Participation Agreement and provide your country of residence. The customer care team will review your account. The review process typically takes less than 48 hours. You will receive an email when the review of your account is complete.
You can begin working on a particular HIT by clicking "Accept Hit". Then just follow the employer's instructions to complete the task and receive your payment.
When you are just starting out, you can take advantage of surveys. These surveys usually take 10-30 minutes to complete and pay a dollar or less, but they are a good way to make a few dollars without taking special qualification tests. Once you have 100 or more approvals on your account, look for better-paying HITS.
Another tip that I can give is make sure to pay attention to the HIT requirements. If you ever accept a task and find it is not what you expected, you can just hit the "return" button. Abandoning a task will afffect your account's stats, and submitting a HIT that is sure to get rejected hurts your approval rating, which affects the HITs you can accept in the future.
You can receive your payments from MTurk in one of two ways - direct deposit to your bank account or as an Amazon gift card. You may only request a payout if your account has been open for at least 10 days and has at least $10. You can request for a payout anytime.
You can do this during your free time and if you will put in a lot of work to earn the credentials needed for well paying hits you can be a Mechanical Turk master which is an elite group and you should probably get started making some easy money!
