Even in the age of computerised this and robotic that, there
is no denying that certain tasks are still best left to the good old fashioned
human brain. These tasks are known as Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) and
include little jobs that computers and programmes simply can’t do. This
includes things like writing product descriptions, identifying elements within
a video or answering FAQs.
These HITs are very simple, easy and quick, and you can get
paid a good enough amount once you have gotten used to doing them. There are
basically no requirements needed to fulfil a HIT as long as you read the
request and do the job properly as described. You can easily do multiple tasks
at a time if it makes it easier and turnaround time is extremely quick. Perhaps
the most attractive thing about HITs is the ease of fitting it into your
schedule. You can do them at any time and many of them take only a couple of
minutes. You can do them when you wake up, before bed, or even at 4:30am when
you’re having difficulty sleeping! It really is up to you. What you lose in
steady income, you make up in complete freedom. Then, the money goes into your
account after an allotted time (dependent on the organisation subscribed to)
for you to spend as you wish!
Although a fair amount of money can be made after some time
of getting used to how it works, and managing yourself in regards to working
efficiently, initially it can seem like you are working very hard for next to
nothing. It is very important to remember that the requesters (who offer the
HITs) aren’t looking for masterpieces. Simply do what is asked and then quickly
move on and forget about it!
We recommend Amazon’s Mechanical Turk as the most reputable
marketplace for finding HITs. You can sign up at www.mturk.com and get straight
to work!
