Make Money Online With Amazon Mechanical Turk (mturk.com)
Newbie and Experienced Marketers… Please Pay Attention To Amazon Mechanical Turk!
Amazon.com has released a service whereby Newbie Marketers can start making small money completing tasks at the comfort of their home and Experienced Marketers can start driving traffic and actions to your sites, affiliate products or internet marketing services.
This service, which you can join at no-cost (you can get started easily if you have an affiliate account to promote Amazon.com), is known as Amazon Mechanical Turk or mturk.com.
What Is Amazon Mechanical Turk All About?
In a marketing sense, Amazon Mechanical Turk is a market place where Advertisers (known as Requester, in Amazon.com’s term) will list out a series of actions that’s needed to be completed by the Workers, like:
A Number of HITS Waiting For You To Make Money From...
- Doing a review on a iPhone Application (must have iphone though) or
- Write a 400-550 word article on a Self-Catering Holiday or (please see image below)
In exchange for this completion, the Workers can expect to earn like $4 for an article or $0.01 for a quick recipe review. These earned funds can then be transferred (anytime) to your U.S based Bank Account or to Amazon.com Gift Certificate Balance.
How Do I Complete A Task And Make Money As A Worker?
Once you are in your account, you will see a Header Navigation with “Your Account”, “HITS” and “Qualifications” so for a start, simply click on the HITS to see all the available tasks.
As you can see from the image above, this is what you’ll be looking at. A quick run through of what each Headers mean to you:
- E.g. Quick Recipe Review and Choose The Best Category For This Product are tasks that you can start doing. Those in shades of blue are available to you whereas in Brown shades will require you to request the Requester to approve you.
- Requesters are simply people who need Workers to complete their tasks.
- HIT Expiration Date is the date that this task will expire.
- Time Allotted is the time given to you to complete the task, and do note that if you failed to complete the task in time, it’ll automatically be set as you have given up the task and will be reflected in your Account Status (like a negative rep).
- Reward is the amount of money you’ll be getting. Do note that the reward is not instantly credited and will require the Requester to review and approve.
- HITS available is the number of Workers that the Requester needs to complete the task.
Once you are ready, just simply click on the View A HIT In This Group to understand what is required of you and to get started.
You can either do a read through or click on the link(s) provided to see if you are up to the job. If you are ready, simply click on the Accept Hit and complete the task before the expiration time. Once you are done, either head on to the next task or rest for the day and wait for the money to be credited in a day or so.
To see how much you have earned, just click on the Your Account at the top navigation bar and you’ll see all the stats there.
How Do I Create A HITS As A Requester?
At this time Mechanical Turk does not support Requesters from countries outside the United States (I’m from Singapore…), therefore I am unable to show you how to do so… If you are interested to use this service, please click on this link to get the FAQs >> https://requester.mturk.com/mturk/help?helpPage=requester
Amazon Mechanical Turk A Run For Money For Google Adwords
After going through the tasks for the last few days, there’s a huge potential for this Amazon.com’s new service to run for money against Google Adwords. If you are using Google Adwords today, are you seeing results (people buying and trying out your services?) with all the money you have spent on your Pay-Per-Click Campaigns till date!
With Amazon Mechanical Turk, this is a totally good deal for Experienced Marketers!
Why Is That So?
Simply looking at the tasks, you are basically looking at:
- Targeted traffic to your niche site (for as low as $0.01 per new vistor), I don’t think you are able to get such a low rate for your Pay-Per-Click Campaigns
- Pay-Per-Action is lower than those CPA networks. As an Experienced Marketer, like yourself, you need only to pay a small fee to have people trying out and reviewing your internet marketing services, posting articles and forum posts for you.
- Cheapest Outsourcing for your online business. You do not need to find high and low to outsource your online activities. With Amazon Mechanical Turk, you are looking at worldwide and at 24/7.
- Total control over what you want, what you need to help you in your online business!
