3 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is good supplemental income | I think it's an awesome way to work | Very Satisfied | The best advice would be not to try to get over on the people doing this work by offering low wages. | I hope it does become more mainstream because I would love to be able to make enough money doing this type of work so that I can quit my part time job. | Writing / Translation / Transcription | 30 | $51 - $100 | USA | 31 - 40 | Female | High School Diploma | $10,000 - $25,000 | |

Also, not a fan of the vendors who are asking to test websites. Most of the time, you follow the directions, but it will not credit you. | I hope there are more sites like this. | Information Search, Research, & Categorization | 10 | $11 - $50 | USA | 31 - 40 | Male | Master's Degree | $40.000 - $55,000 | |

I have to supplement my husband's SSI check so we can pay our bills while I try to find work I can physically perform. This has been a life-saver for us. I just wish I could make more money at it. |
7 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is fun pocket change | It's an option that is ok | Mostly Satisfied | Be clear in what they want an provide a fair reward for our time | It's quite addictive! The more people that do it then the less work that will be available, or the requesters will pay even less so I don't want it to be popular. | Writing / Translation / Transcription | 20 | $11 - $50 | UK | 21 - 30 | Male | Bachelor's Degree | $70,000 - $85,000 | |
8 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is fun pocket change | I'm glad it is available to me | Mostly Satisfied | If you have a lot of tasks. Break them up into groups of 3-10. Doing one at a time takes too long to load for the money and doing too many may take too long. Pay within a reasonable time frame like 3 days. | If more companies put work online, then maybe the pay scale would increase due to supply and demand. It would be nice to be able to make at least minimal wage via tasks if you are fast. But it is still fun if you can find a nice one. | Information Search, Research, & Categorization | 7 | $0 - $10 | USA | 31 - 40 | Female | Master's Degree | $55,000 - $70,000 | |

10 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | none in the crowdsourcing area | Mechanical Turk | | | | The money from this is negligible | I'm glad it is available to me | Mostly Satisfied | Allow adequate time to do the work! I've too often had HITs close on me unexpectedly because I was writing or editing, and concentrating on that made me forget to check the timer countdown. Occasionally, time allowances are just too short. Realize, too, that computers woes sometimes crop up -- I've lost my wireless signal, had to reboot and otherwise encountered problems that meant leaving the site and logging back in. This takes time. Since the vendors are paying for a task and not for time spent, it's best to be generous with time allocations. | I do online work (not the crowdsourced kind) for a company that employs people to evaluate student essays. I enjoy the flexibility of working online and that's probably why I enjoy the mTurk. I'm not one who likes doing nothing, and I use the mTurk to fill spare time, especially late at night. Also, being something of an information hound, I like the opportunity to learn about unfamiliar subjects. I would like to see more online work available. | Information Search, Research, & Categorization | 10 | $0 - $10 | USA | 41 - 50 | Female | Bachelor's Degree | | The mTurk seems to attract a lot of less than legitimate work. I'm speaking of those requesters asking people to sign up for insurance quotations, post comments to their blogs or websites to inflate traffic count, vote for their creative endeavor, etc. It has been something of a revelation to me that some websites that appear to be filled with reader interaction (forum posts, questions, answers and the like) are actually getting their content from places such as the mTurk. |

12 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is fun pocket change | I'm glad it is available to me | Mostly Satisfied | The compensation should be fair and commesurate with the time involved to complete the task - otherwise the highest quality workers will pass on the task and leave it to less skilled workers. Also, if there is a time limit imposed, that limit should be at least twice as long as you estimate the task will take because often the hits will not work correctly due to technical problems and this will cause delays; the worker is often penalized for not completing a task in the allowed time frame. | I like being able to work from home and I hope it catches on with more employers. At the same time, the more popular it becomes, the more workers there will be which will make competition for the "good" work even tougher. | Content Review & Data Management | 5 | $11 - $50 | USA | 41 - 50 | Female | Bachelor's Degree | $55,000 - $70,000 | |

15 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is fun pocket change | I'm glad it is available to me | I'm OK With It | Make sure your hits work, especially the submit buttons.

18 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanical Turk | | | | This is fun pocket change | It's an option that is ok | I'm OK With It | Be fair in pay levels. A lot of the work priced at less than $0.05 per HIT/task is designed to exploit workers. In this recession time, a lot of people are desperate for income, and many will do work for a rediculously low rate of pay - vendors know this and price accordingly. | If this is to become mainstream in US, pay levels need to rise. Otherwise, this will just be another way to outsource work to foreign countries where pay expectations are lower than the US. | Information Search, Research, & Categorization | 15 | $11 - $50 | USA | Over 60 | Male | Master's Degree | $25,000 - $40,000 | |

You can not give people 10 minutes of work and pay them 1 cent. Quit trying to use us for slave labor. It's kind of insulting. | I'm glad they're there, but wish it paid more. On really really awesome hits I average 12 dollars an hour, which I think is good for such mindless work that no one else wants to do.

I think vendors tend to think that they can get away with paying people by the pennies for work that would have to be paid a lot more for if the work was done in-house or in the office or through an agent. The sweatshop-like conditions are not fair and if vendors would pay decently, I believe the vendors would receive better quality work that is of more value to them. In turn, workers would be a great deal happier because they would be earning a more appropriate amount of money and thus put more effort into the work that they are submitting. Better pay would benefit everyone, immensely. | Oh I am quite grateful that it is available for me.
