Say it with me: “Amazon Mechanical Turk”

Say it with me: “Amazon Mechanical Turk”. Sounds kinda strange, right? Right. I honestly can’t figure out how I stumbled upon this interesting website; I could probably just say that I found it while going through all the fun stuff on amazon, but no…I didn’t. Maybe it was just meant to be. WE were meant to be! Oh Mechanical Turk, how I love you so! You give me extra money for doing some simple and amazingly fun…okay, sometimes boring, tasks. Computers just can’t do the work I do, and I’m so glad that in a way, I feel like I’m kind of contributing to the power of the interweb. On occasion, I feel a bit cheap and used, but guess what? I like you. Lots! You’re fun. I’ve set a goal for myself to make at least a dollar (!!!) a day on this site and so far, I’m doing pretty darn good. Yes, I admit…it can get pretty tedious on occasion but I really think it’s worth it. Why? Well, because I can send my earnings to my bank account, or I can turn it into a gift certificate from amazon. Pretty awesome if I say so myself. I AM a Mechanical Turk. I’m not a machine; I’m an intelligent human with a brain and a desire for easy money and the ability to perform tasks within a short amount of time. Yep. I’m good at what I do and I’m having fun while I do it. I’m totally loving this site!
