Hi, my name is Gabriel and I’m the owner of Gabrial Life, an Online Store that teaches you how to make extra money online…
No matter where you are in the world, there’s money to be made online. Many people choose to try and make a living from home, and for me, the choice was clear. I wanted to try and supplement my existing income streams with some additional cash flow, and after careful consideration, I decided to get started with Amazon Mechanical Turk. (If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make extra cash, you could also try selling your photos on stock photography websites)
In today’s article, I’ll tell you about my experience with MTur and how you can get started with an additional income stream.
What is Amazon Mechanical Turk?
For those of you who don’t know, Amazon Mechanical Turk is an online marketplace where individuals and businesses can engage in micro-tasks (i.e. small jobs) for cash. It was officially launched in 2010 and is now available internationally. In the USA, you can get a cash payout via Amazon Pay balance or a credit card. Some of the services offered include data entry, transcription, research, virtual assistant work, and graphic design. Typically, you will have to complete a few tasks to earn enough money for the day. Some people choose to do this in their spare time, while others use the site to earn extra money. It’s a great place to make some quick cash if you have the spare time.
