Is Amazon Mechanical Turk a Scam?

I’ve heard a lot of things about Amazon Mechanical Turk being a scam so I decided to check it out myself. I wanted to provide an honest review of the program. What is Amazon Turk? Put simply, Amazon Turk is a largely growing market place for work which requires human intelligence. Some of the task on Amazon Turk are writing product descriptions, transcribing audio files and videos, doing research for companies, selecting objects from pictures or videos, or searching data details. The entire site is based solely on marketers needing research they believe only a human can do. When a company or developer needs tasks done, they can assess Amazon Turk’s market place and create a HIT (Human Intelligence Tasks). These HITs pay mostly in pennies but can add up over time, and take hardly any time to complete. Is Amazon Turk a Scam? This can only be answered in two parts; the first part being Amazon Turk, and the second being the company or developer. Let’s take a look ...

Stop Throwing Away Your Email Receipts: Get More Kool-Aid

Stop deleting those annoying emails and find out where the Kool-Aid is at. We all get them, and I hate them but, I did find a way to be paid for them. It’s called Paribus . It takes 15 seconds to sign up and worth every second. Paribus scans your emails for receipts to over 16 places such as Target, Amazon, and even Walmart. It looks for these receipts and tracks your purchases. If it finds any of those receipts and sees that there has been a price drop in the items that you have purchased, it will issue a refund according to those price drops. Paribus is where the Kool-Aid is and helps you find money where you didn’t know it was. Most retailers will offer a price difference if they have a price drop within so many days or weeks. There is nothing that you need to do since Paribus contacts those retailers for you.   Paribus charges a fee of 25% for helping to find those price drops. They do require you to add a credit card to your account. The credit card is so they c...

Fiverr Domination: Proven Secrets to Earning Thousands of Dollars in Your Spare Time

I love reading books that will help me make money online. I hate finding books that I believe will help, but then they disappoint me in a huge way. I recently came across a book called  Fiverr Domination: Proven Secrets to Earning Thousands of Dollars in Your Spare Time . Well. I should have known from the title that it was going to be nothing but a bunch of fluff covered in things that you could have found out on the web or by reading Fiverr's TOS.  The book starts off by going through everything about the  Fiverr website . This is fine except, as a writer, I know how important it is to get to the main point before you lose your readers. There was no need for the writer to tell about Fiverr; everyone that is reading this book already knows what Fiverr is or they wouldn't have purchased it to begin with. Then the book continues on to tell you how to sign up; again, every reader already knows this information so why put it in the book? The writer also had a few grammar err...

First I want to go through signing up for, making the most of, and how to use this site to your benefit. This website pays you to post articles, questions, answers, and comments.

Once you reach a minimum of 1,000 points, you can cash it out for a gift card or for paypal. They start off at $5 gift cards or $5 sent to your paypal.

I have found that if you continue to use their bonus system and post daily, you could reach a payou...

Quick Tips on Banks, Lenders, and Credit Card Companies

Banks and lenders use your credit score to calculate what interest rate they can give you. Your credit score affects your interest rate and your interest rate can impact your total cost of a loan. In order to secure the lowest interest rate you qualify for you should first check your credit score and then compare APRs (annual percentage rate) lenders advertise to find the lowest one available to you. When you apply for a loan always choose a lender and look at their interest rate, the amount you’re borrowing and how long it will take you to pay it off. When looking at the APR, always remember that it is the annual percentage rate you will be charged in addition to the amount you borrowed for the duration of the loan all lenders are required to show you the APR before you take out a loan, so you can compare different loan offers, and the APR is affected by your credit score. A higher credit score means that you will have a lower APR and, a lower credit score means a higher APR in which ...

I have had two different online accounts with two online companies that both shut down without much notice and all of my articles, my staying up until the crack of dawn articles, were gone and I wasn’t going to be getting them back. Let’s take a look at these two online sites and how they met their demise shall we?

I actually won the 2007 People’s Media Award for Best of AC content back when there wasn’t so many would-be writers. I began writing with them when they were first growing...
