While this does seem legit, you only get pennies for such tasks. This reminds me of those click-ads services lol.

Yeah, sadly most of the tasks don't pay much.. I'd say its main practicality lies in doing some short, dollar surveys to have some spare change to spend on amazon

Amazon Mechanical Turk

I found a really good website to make some money on. It's an Amazon website called mturk, here's a link:
https://www.mturk.com/mturk/welcome.

Basically, universities, companies, charities, and people post small tasks onto the site to be completed by the mturk workers. There are surveys, image identification, product reviews, all random tasks. They need people to do them since computers can't always complete the work.

I've made around $100.00 so far.

I use this to find high paying jobs: http://www.reddit.com/r/HITsWorthTurkingFor/

You can transfer your money into Amazon payments, onto a credit card, or into Amazon credit. I mainly use it to buy small electronic components, or parts off Amazon. I think it requires you to be 18 years old and a US citizen though. I hope someone finds it to be useful like I did.
