mTurk – Real Online Job for Indians

by Pritam Nagrale on August 31, 2010

If you are really looking for some trusted part time jobs that is too easy and that can make you at least 8000 – 12000 INR by working 2-3 hrs. a day then there is no best choice than Amazon Mechanical Turk or mTurk. Amazon launched Amazon Mechanical Turk in November 2005 and since then its working to provide the best online jobs worldwide where you can work on “human intelligence tasks” (HITS) and make money. amazon-india
The mTurk concept is very simple. Anytime you visit the website, you will find around 100,000 simple tasks available called as HITS. Amazon Mechanical Turk is based on the concept that there are number of tasks that real people can do in a very effective manner than the computers, such as identifying items in a image or video, transcribing texts, give rating to YouTube videos, review of some products etc.

To start this online job, you can visit the website www.mturk.com where you can signup free as a worker. After signup, you can login to your account and then you can start working on HITS. There will be 10s of thousands of HITS available, you can check the description of each and every HIT, how much commission is getting for that HIT and if you like to start on particular HIT, you can accept that and complete to earn the commission.

Amazon’s this concept is so popular in India that Amazon introduced INR payment system in India. This might be the reason that a US person will not be that keen to spend 2-3 hrs for just US $200 – $300 but there are many people in India specially housewives, retired, students for whom this much money is sufficient and can give you a good relief. And this is the reason that Amazon India is taping the market here to provide more and more part time jobs through mTurk.

Sumaiya January 13, 2012 at 1:28 PM: Ok,I agree with you that all money making sites though legitimate are not perfect.
But,in some cases its observed that:
1.They suspend the account and when a reason for that is asked,they don’t respond at all.According to me when the requester asks for a reason for the suspension,they should provide the reason with proof on why have they suspended it.(especially when the amount is huge in the amazon account).Then people who say that it is a scam will not say it anymore.
2.In case of indian workers,they do not pay on time or in some cases they do not pay the checks at all.

Pritam Nagrale January 12, 2012 at 8:09 PM: Hi Jins,
Its very easy. Just visit mTurk and click on sign up as worker link and join. Don’t click on requester link.
Pritam Nagrale January 12, 2012 at 8:07 PM: Hi Sumaiya,
mTurk is an Amazon website and there is nothing like that. Yes, you will find such thing with every money making program like mturk, Google AdSense where lots of accounts get deactivated because of the problem from the affiliate side and not from the company. If you are working genuinely as per their policy nothing wrong will happen.
Sumaiya January 11, 2012 at 4:16 PM: Hi,

I want to know whether MTURK really makes a payment to INDIANS for their work,because I have seen many posts over net,where they have told that they were deceived by MTURK for not paying them the money they deserve or they would just suspend their account without any valid reason.Is this true?

S.G.Kannan September 8, 2011 at 5:34 PM: Yes a real and good site to earn as well as to increase your general knowledge. The response is punctual and also to say is not deceiving anybody. The payment is prompt. As a retired person I am earning 10,000/= Rs. per month. Many educated youths say that I am jobless, but I say one who comes to know about this site there is nobody in the universe is jobless.

Pritam Nagrale September 29, 2010 at 12:18 AM: There are number of online jobs but you need to concentrate whatever you are doing. There is nothing you can make quick money. You have to work hard and keep patience before you start getting results. You can either start with MTurk or CJ.com or even Adsense.
