Amazon Mechanical Turk

Amazon Mechanical Turk is a website where you complete "HITS" to earn money. This is another website where your skill set and will power really make a difference. If you are a good writer, you can do the HITs that review movies, products, books or websites. For writing these articles, you could make between 3-5 dollars a piece, possibly more depending on the length of the article. To date, I've personally made 11 dollars fiddling around on Amazon Mechanical Turk, mostly by writing articles for other peoples blogs.

Most of the HITS, however, are doing simple, repetitive tasks for a few cents, or maybe a quarter tops. You can make money by doing lots of these, as they usually don't take more than a few seconds. From my experiences, this just doesn't add up very quickly, and really isn't worth it unless you have an incredible attention span.

Note: If you have any special skills, like speaking languages not easily translatable by google translator, you can make a lot of money on this website. Often, $10 or more are offered for translations of documents that aren't really that long, I reccomend this website greatly to those who are bilingual.

Reasonably, expect to make a dollar a day if you do simple tasks, maybe 10 to 15 dollars if you write for a couple of hours.
