That fateful day when I found Amazon Mechanical Turk was the best day ever

I am a college student in a university in Indiana. I was trying to find ways to make extra money online since I kept hearing that people can actually earn big bucks online easily. I searched and searched in Google and it kept coming up with some bogus Web-sites. After about two days and three hours of browsing through these sites, I got so fed-up and decided to call it. I guessed making easy money online was just a dream too good to come true after all. Just before I closed my FireFox window once and for all, I saw a link to the mturk Website. What the heck, I checked it out. It turned out to be legit and I finally found a way to make some easy extra bucks. I was hooked. During the first month, I was a very diligent mTurk worker. I made $50 extra money that month. Then I slowed down a lot and made a commitment to just earn at least $1 a day and get $30 by the end of each month. That’s what I’ve been doing since and I absolutely love Amazon Turk. That fateful day when I found Amazon Mechanical Turk was the best day ever! Now I could easily make some extra money whenever I want to without having any commitment. $30 a month of course doesn’t go a long way, but it certainly helps this one college student a lot!
