Not sure if a lot of these have been mentioned but here we gooooooooooooo!

You basically get paid to fill out surveys and do small assignments for people who don't want to do them themselves. The best options to search for are CrowdFlower and Oscar Smith (Business Card Transcription.)

You don't get much pay at first but once you get into the 5,000+ hit approval range you can start making up to 12$ an hour if you are an extremely fast typer. I average about 3-8$ an hour and only do it for about 20-40 minutes. The best times are Monday Through Thursday 8am to 5pm.

Get paid to write a blog. Why not write? It's not a really good pay scale but you can meet a lot of cool people from other countries doing this.

That's all I've got for you guys but with these 2 sites, I average about 120-160$ a month just from passively using them.

How many hours per week do you put in to get that $120-$160 per month? And, is that "take home" or do you have to pay a percentage to PayPal just to get your money out?

No percentage involved. I use direct deposit to my bank account not the PayPal option.

Anyways, I spend about 4 to 5 hours at most a day on mTurk depending on my mood and Bubblews is a periodical time frame.... I usually spend no more than an hour on there writing blogs. This is stretched out throughout the day though because you are allowed to make 10 posts a day and the more connections you have / the longer you wait to post again the more views you will get.

Thanks. Good to know.

So, about how many hours per week, all total? At 4-5 hours per day, assuming only working M-F, that is 22.5 hours per week or an average of 97.5 hours per month. So, ignoring the other work you do, that's 97.5 hours of work for only $120-$160 of pay. That comes to only about $1.43 per hour, as an incredibly generous estimate.

Are you sure you didn't mean you get about $120-$160 per WEEK?

Still, even $140/week divided by 22.5 hours/week only comes to $6.22 per hour, not $12.

Nope it is definitely per month.

But I also don't really work the entirety of that 4 to 5 hours lol. It's more of me having nothing better to do and filling out the higher paying surveys.

I guess if I were to take it more seriously I would average about 7 to 8$ an hour if I truly tried to make money using it.

I have seen some of my friends make around 400-500 a month only doing it 20 hours a week.

I've made a few hundred bucks on mturk, mostly last fall before we hit the road, and I just put it into my amazon.com account and used it there for purchases for the trip. I estimated that I was making about 6 bucks an hour but I was doing it at times when I was tired and couldn't do much else. I'm not a fast typist, mostly did surveys.

Yeah the higher paying jobs tend to pay by word. Similar to TextBrokers.com which I see a lot of people using on here.

Once you get to about 6,000 approved hits... I'd assume about 6,000, they start offering you 30-50 minutes transcriptions of Job Interviews, Court Hearings and such. You get paid by the time it takes to complete the transcription as well as the quality of the words and formatting.

Some people "claim" to make upwards of 1,000$ a month part time doing this. The most I have made on mTurk in one work week was 240$ and this was doing transcriptions / surveys every single time one popped up with a program called TurkOpticon for Firefox.

Most of my money made online is from selling on ebay these days, but when I first started, I used CashCrate, which was the best survey site I was able to find. Daily surveys are around a buck a piece while the other, more specific surveys can pay up to $4+. These are all free to complete, and the site's free to join. You're paid by physical paper check at first, which might be a problem for RVers, but you can also opt for Dwolla. Once you hit Silver status ($500 earned or a certain number of referrals) you can opt for Paypal. Speaking of referrals, they have a great referral program (but it's not necessary to make money). You get a percentage bonus on what your referrals and those referrals' referrals (it's only two levels deep) for life, and a $3 bonus once they hit $10 or something like that (or $1 when they become active [filling out their first offer] which becomes available at the silver level, and is definitely the better option). Between surveys and free trial offers, if you have 30 mins to an hour to spend each night, you could probably pull in an extra $75 each month relatively easily. I recommend putting on a podcast while doing them as the surveys can be pretty mundane. If you found this useful and want to use my referral link, it's http://www.cashcrate.com/3251583
