I joined Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) at the beginning of October after doing a lot of research online about the web site and the way it works. I have three MTurk forums listed in the sidebar to the right, they all are a wealth of information for anyone new to Mechanical Turk.
Basically, Mturk is a crowdsourcing platform that allows businesses (known as requesters) to post small tasks, surveys, transcription assignments, and other human intelligence tasks (HITs) for workers to complete for pay. The pay per task can range anywhere form 1 cent to 10 dollars and up. You can find detailed info on MTurk at the Wikipedia page.
I plan to post earnings from Mturk every week, as well as insights into some of the things I've learned along the way.
If you decide to give MTurk a try you will need a verified Paypal account as well as an Amazon payments account, You can sign up for MTurk here.
