Does anyone know or came across another site similar to Mturk? I love Mturk but since it does not pay through paypal I wish I could find something similar to it and can withdraw my funds and not be limited to purchasing from Amazon.com. Anyone?
I took one hit to pick a logo for a new crowdsourcing website. It wasn't up yet, but, I intend to check back. It's supposed to have a way for participants to rank their experiences with each site. http://www.crowdsourcinglinks.com/ Looks like it may be working now. I've linked up my Amazon account with my checking account, so I can transfer funds if I need to. Way better than paypal, because I'm not being charged any fees.
It's much better than paypal in that aspect. Also, since I see you live in the US, depending on your bank, if you withdraw from Amazon before 9pm on a weekday, the funds will be in your account the very next morning.
Try e-rewards.com You can do some surveys and gain virtual money you can turn in for gift certificates and stuff.
I've been on e-rewards for years, I like it, but I have never seen them offer cash as a reward. It has always been, magazines, airline miles, hotel stays, and the like since I've been on there. If you know something I don't, please let me know.
This site was just on my morning news here: http://www.hirepoint.com/athome/ It is a legitimate company that pays people to work at home as an employee. I can't do it because I do not have a hardline phone. I don't want to take on the expense of a hardline phone or I would consider it. It's also not just for people in the states. I noticed it had overseas option as well. You should have these qualifications before considering applying: Q: What equipment do I need to become a TeleTech@Home associate? A: To set-up your own home office, you will need: Personal Computer meeting specific requirements. High Speed internet service (Cable or DSL, no satellite or dial-up). Analog land-line telephone (not mobile, cellular, VoIP or cordless). A home location where you can commit to work uninterrupted by others and one that is free from background noise such as: family members, appliances, traffic, pets, TV/music, etc. Be sure to read the faq page, it has the above info and much more info on this job: http://www.hirepoint.com/athome/become/faqs.html#10 Good luck to anyone that is able to do this and is hired!
review writing You can write reviews on reviewstream.com, they pay $2 for each well written review and $.40 for reviews which do not meet their expectation. You get paid when you reach $50 through paypal. I got my money without any problem, immediately upon requesting it. All the best.
My only problem with that is that a.) I don't have or want a pay-pal account and b.) You have to wait until you build up 50$ I personally might get frustrated and stop and then all that work I did, assuming I hadn't reached 50$, would be for free.
I'm sure that's what they hope most people will do. Google is similar with their Adsense program payouts -- you have to hit $100 before you'll be paid. A lot of people never get to that point or give up trying, so Google ends up saving themselves millions of dollars in payouts. At least with Amazon you only need $1 to transfer to GC balance, or $10 to deposit to a bank if you're in a country that they support. Or you can even access your money when it's less than a dollar if you change your payment method at checkout to "Amazon Payments Balance" when buying from Amazon.
I don't know if it would help, but www.moola.com is a fun site were you use your luck to get money. It's quite difficult, but it usually ends up being fun anyway!
I have not come across many there is one scriptlance.com,but so far have not paid attention there,as its difficult to land up with jobs there,with too many people vying for the jobs as most of them are bulk in nature.
I think that mturk is the best one out there, and you can always buy things with gift certificates instead of taking the cash.
I've been wondering this same question also. I have not checked out these other sites, but may do so in the future. Thanks everyone for all the leads. So far, I've not had any issues with transferring money because I don't have enough to do much with it.
I don't know of any other programs just like MTURK but I do kind of make some extra virtual dollars on the side from Swagbucks. http://swagbucks.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=297707 Basically you get virtual money for searching which you can turn in for prizes. Since I have to search TONS for the HITS I do, I've already earned a couple 25 dollar gift cards, so it does pay off! If you refer new people, you get swag even quicker. I figure, may as well get paid for searching I'm doing anyhow.
I think there is no good alternative for that..if you are a resident of us its ok.else its quite difficult
My husband started working on one called A&W Surveys but then quit because we found out it was a scan. It takes 75$ to transfer to your PayPal account but once you get close to 75$, they mysteriously, cancel your account for no reason at all! It's a crime.
Not necessarily. Regarding reviewstream.com. If you live in US, UK etc, you will not have any problem, as they accept all kinds of reviews - restaurants, online casinos, websites, products, services. I have read reviews where people have reached above $50 within a month of starting there. What is important is the subject on which you are writing, and the quality provided by you. I wrote about a super glue and never expected to get $2 for it, but I got it and was amazed. If you write quality reviews, you can reach the cash out limit after turning in only 25 reviews. But payment is by paypal only.
This site is like Mturk, except it's for teachers and students...anyone can sign up to be a tutor and get paid for it, and anyone can sign up to pay for a tutor. There is also some free resources for students, like flashcards. http://edufire.com/
