So attack of the show had a little segment last year that they no longer have readily available on their website about a tool you could use on Amazon to get amazon money by tagging images for them.

I have no idea what its called and the segment is no longer on the website. Can I please get some help, need monies.

    You would make more money begging on the street corner or working at burger king for an hour a day.

    Edit: But hold on, I'll try to find it for you.

    Is it impossible for you to get a minimum wage job? I am completely serious in saying you will make pennies to the dollar for hours of work.

    The Mechanical Turk is an interesting idea, but the pay is not even close to worth the time for most tasks.

    There are some tasks that are closer to a freelance model where you write short reviews for products or whatever, but the money's still crap and you have no guarantee that you'll get paid for what you submit.

    If they forced everyone to place a minimum of $10 down into it, you'd probably see a lot more legitimate uses instead of a bunch of people asking you to verify contact information for $.01 or signing up on forums to circumvent captcha for $.02.

    Yeah, what you're thinking of was on Mechanical Turk, but it was a few years ago - it was something to do with looking at Amazon's version of Streetview and helping sort images IIRC.

    Was easy (I think I made about $150 in total back then), but they ran out of pictures and/or shut it down because people were using semi-automated tools to rip through multi-thousands of tasks with almost zero effort.

    Man, some really classy stuff there.
    I will give you a person's Name and his working place, Find out if he was born/educated in an Arab country. (A bonus of 5$ for Top accurate performer)
    Rewrite a given sentence so that it is similar in meaning to the original sentence, yet substantially differently worded.
    We will give you a series of websites to visit. On each of these sites has a comment section and keywords displayed at the bottom. You will need to quickly read through the post and then make a relevent comment based on the categories listed

    That last one just sounds like pure weblog spamming.

    ...man. Lots of requests to spam. That "rewrite a sentence" also sounds like someone wanting human-generated spam phrases.
