Are you one of the netizens who get a kick out of using the Google Image Labeler? Google Image Labeler is this application that allows two people to get into a sort of game simultaneously describing images. The more matching labels that you and your partner (random user) were able to enter, the higher you score. What’s in it for you? You will help improve Google’s image search engine. That’s it.
Now what about getting paid to do a similar task sans the partner/game part? One similar task that allows you to earn about USD1.20 per hour is TagCow.
TagCow is a photo tagging service that outsources (I think) the tagging job to Mechanical Turk service providers. Mechanical Turk is this Amazon service that lets people work on tasks called Human Intelligence Tasks or HITs that computers can’t do well.
As a data entry job hunter myself, I remember signing up for a Mechanical Turk account about a year ago. I haven’t found too many available tasks back then so I forgot about it. But since photo tagging is not something I can really consider work since I enjoy such tasks, hmmm…
Anyone has ever tried Mechanical Turk? Were you able to successfully find work using this Amazon service?

In answer to your question, the most I’ve been able to make on Mechanical Turk in one month is $120 and I had to put in a lot of hours to get that. Now I just do transcriptions and university studies on there because they pay the best.
what a real time wate this is?
one hour and only $1.20.

Hey, Fellow Affiliate Marketers
Everybody knows just how challenging it really is to actually advance in the case of Home Based Business, Online Promotion and in addition to, Internet Affiliations. One can find a great deal of knowledge around to drive anyone loco! Talk to me, cause I have already been part of that brain melt down, yet unfortunately throughout the game I uncovered a product that peaked my very own focus, and has showed me personally a proven method to achieve success. Beware cause you will need to truly stay with which ever opportunity you decide to start out. Never move from one process to the next or alternatively your human brain will probably melt! ; -))
