Amazon Mechanical Turk is a marketplace for work that requires human intelligence. This means tasks that computers and algorithms can't do. With MTurk, workers have a selection of thousands of tasks to complete whenever it's convenient for them. Each task is called HITS (human intelligence tasks). And you get paid per hits.
But how much money can you actually make by completing these HITS?
The average is said to be only $2 an hour. Only 4% of workers earned more than $7.25 an hour. But others claim that you can make much more. I've found with my experience that $9-$12 an hour is pretty attainable once you have spent about a month working on this platform. Within two to three months, you can begin earning $25+ if you follow these time-tested Mturk strategies.
Examples of jobs that you would do with MTURK are:
Surveys
Write reviews
Take pictures of obscure objects in your environment
Audio transcriptions
Flag photos
Transcribe receipts or data
Voiceovers
I decided the best way to review this platform would be to spend 30 days doing HITs with Amazon Mechanical Turk. Some of the most important MTURK tips I've learned over this month are:
Work at the ideal times - mornings have a lot of good hits, but lunchtime does not
Use a hit scraper - MTurk Suite on google chrome extension is a good one
Join a community - Reddit turksworthturkingnfor is amazing. I also like the Facebook group called Mturk Members.
Some higher-paying HITS require special qualifications, it's a good practice to qualify whenever possible so you can begin completing hiring paying jobs.
Request qualification for higher-paying hits that you don't yet qualify for.
Follow up with MTURK emails that you receive from requesters, occasionally you will receive a high paying job in your inbox!
Some of the biggest pros of Mturk are - You can complete this work from the comfort of your own home. You can stop when u get tired and work at your own pace. Even an extra $20-$40 each week really adds up. And if you do hits that are fun you will want to continue to work and complete more jobs.
Some of the biggest cons of Mturk are - that it is time-consuming, it pays low wages (at least at first), if you're not in the US you only get paid with Amazon Gift Card and not cash. Also if you're not in the US, it's hard to get good hits.
Overall I've been very happy with my experience with this 30-day Mturk challenge. My earnings were better than I expected and I look forward to continuing to Turk as a decent side income.

HELLO CHRIS.. HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT FOR APPROVAL\VERIFICATION OF MY APPLICATION TO MTURK? DO U HAVE AN IDEA?
Lanny Diaz it took about a week for me!
wow great advices.
Hello Chris!
Can I reach on Email?
what are some reasons I'm not accepted for mturk I tried with two different email accounts
It's rare to find an actual good precise video on these subjects. Thank you.
This was good. I’d like to see a follow up of the jobs you get after 1,000 hits are under your belt 💕
this is more realistic than most side hustle videos that say make $1000 easily at home! thank you for making this video :)
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I just posted a follow up video showing how much you can make doing 12 hours of MTURK. It's another interesting watch 😆
It's all about patience in the beginning. Don't get discourage if you start off only making $2/hour!! Just keep racking up the HITs. Now I'm earning $8 to $15/hour!
nice!! $10+ per hour is the goal
Awesome
Are you from the US?
@@ChrisDAndrealifestyledesign Hi my dear friend please help me to get m turk account I am from India. Love from across the countries
Can u guide me
A follow up video of your profits after you hit 1000 would be awesome!

did someone say $2 an hour?? COUNT ME IN
That's literally me😂😂😂
Heck yeah while I wait for my upwork clients to respond!

@@ChelseaGardensbytheSea what u do at upwork?
Thank you for this excellent video! I just signed up yesterday and was approved. Waiting for them to verify my personal info. I can see the jobs. I was disillusioned at first, seeing many low paying jobs that seem to require considerable time but after watching your highly developed and informative video, I UNDERSTAND the concept and am very eager to dive in.
I subbed and will check out more of your side hustles. Thanks again~
How’s it going now. Did u make enough money and is it hard
How is the going?
I believe people can make money there but it was definitely not for me.
@@CMeaganMichaelThanks alot
I am from India I need mturk ID please any US people can u help me pls 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I don’t do it consistently but I use it because I’m a SAHM and love the idea of extra money!! Definitely can pay a bill or two! I love it!
that’s exactly how I feel! and it’s usually such mindless work that I’m ok with even earning a small amount (i made around $50 this month and haven’t even turked much)
Would you be interested in a joint venture deal? I'd complete HITs for you and we split the earnings

That seems as a very good side hustle for students, thanks you Chris this video really helped me a lot! I will be trying MTurk since today
Your content is amazing. I admire how hard you seem to work. Thank you for all the great information on your videos.
I appreciate that! Thank you for your support!
thanks bro! i like your detailed explanations and examples, you really went in depth. Let us now how it turned out with the follow up video im about to start turking also, and in our current economic state the demand for online marketing and crowdsourcing will increase. Let me know what you think bro.
Thank you so much, I’ve been thinking about doing this for a bit
I'm so glad that it helped! If you give it a try, I would love to hear how it goes!! 🙂
how did it go?
Hello
Love from India❤ keep going!!
Bhai paisa milta hai kya?
I have been doing MTurk for several years. I have completed over 10,000 HITs and have a bit above 99% aproval rating. I am averaging 100.00 monthly with my best month being about 225.00. Last month was only about 90.00. It is a struggle.
on average how many hours you work daily on MTurk?
I’m really excited about this ! I’m an online grad student who will have to do internship soon and it’s kinda hard to have a normal job while doing that so this will help me out
it's on @4:06
Thanks, Chris, for sharing! I haven't heard of this crowdsourcing job til this video. Wish u luck in attaining higher goals! :)
Thanks so much! Wishing you luck on the crowdsourcing side hustle as well :)
Hey Chris, Really very well explained and shared the key information. I am working on mturk since 2014 and now earning on an avg weekly $150 and overall earned $29K. Most of the points mentioned in this video I am following and expecting I can touch my target of $250 per week. Please share your opinion if any. Thx
Hey man are u still making money with it?
@@amer.h.yawari Yes, I am earning on an average $500 to $1000
@LakeisPretty Its weekly..!
@@54N70SH you r indian and 70k per week is a lot dude, can you give me some tips to earn online ? Will be glad to learn smth from u
@@54N70SH hi, i am an indian abd interested in this project. Can u please guide me.
I absolutely love doing mturk and have been doing for 5 years . I mean if you aren't making a dollar a day theres something wrong . You should be able to do within 30 minutes max and more like 15 min. I love how you emphasize the inital work input . I agree I am able to successfully do up to 10$ a day pretty easily . Last year was 5 than 8 now up to 10 or more. Its a great way for extra money. i am sure I have a lot to learn and that's why Im trying to see how to increase that. Another option is prolific but thats from great britain. It works but its all pay pal and have to get money transferred to usd. IF you never heard of check it out.
Good luck to you
Hi, I am new to Amazon Mturk and worked on p9r hits and I got 5 rejections! Could you please guide me? I hope to hear from you soonest! Thanks
I live in Slovenia where most people get 700€ montlhy pay, which is 830$. So if you got 400$ doing 2 hours a day, if i do full 8 hour job, i would get double the country standard. I have to get in on this :P
@Shiba Inu's Boss its common in South Asia.
Eyo, slovenia, Im too from here same
Great video, thanks for sharing! I just found out about this and I am considering trying it because I am quadriplegic, live in a nursing home, on a fixed income (with not much money) and have a lot of time on my hands. Do you have to commit to a certain amount of time? I'd love to see that follow up video after you reach 1000 hits. Thanks again!
No commitment you can do one minute or a thousand minutes. I would highly recommend. you can also try prolific while you are waiting to be approved. The approval process can take a bit of time. OR at least 5 years ago it was.
@@sherylannzeiders4151 Thank you very much, I appreciate that! Can you cancel and close your account at any time?
Definitely want to see your results as you grow!
Me who only sleeps when I'm extremely exhausted haha I will be on there for 24hrs straight doing this stuff lol.
My request to join mturk was refused unfortunately, As a non US resident it's difficult almost impossible to get approved.
Well guess this is not for me, I wanted some extra cash as a Med student
You can always lie and use a vpn
@@theeguy9022 it requires a SSN
"1000 in the next few months"
I did 6,250 in a month.
$3,157. It's my full-time job. I work madddd hours, but I'm getting good money.
I'm about to try it, waiting on my "invitation". You reckon you do more than 60 hours a week for that? My goal is $15 an hour, is that possible by Christmas you think?
@@maxev2533 I work about 80/hrs a week, total overkill and wast time and efforts on even the little ones. But I do have the Masters's qualification, which took me two years and 100k tasks to get. Before that, I was making about $7-8/ hour doing the surveys that they have. One other thing - when you do get approved(typically takes 2-3weeks) go to the HIT's section and sort by newest created. You'll want to do tasks that were just put out that are HIGH paying, since every few hours a college does a survey one that pays about $20/hour with no need for a master's qualification. I think with a few hours a week, you could probably see about $10-$12/hour from there by Christmas.
@@maxev2533 Did they invite you? Just applied. I am Kenyan
@@Ducc Bro I’ll pay you to mentor me on this 😂
@@rnrbrbbrbrnbr1273 actually, I was considering making a discord server where mturkers could join and talk in voice chats about different hits and stuff, so we could help each other out or something. Would u be interested in that?
I rate this video and hard work of bro Chris for ours to teach more about mturk earn more etc is 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
very quality content, thanks !
I appreciate that, thanks for watching!
I def would be interested to to see what changes at 1000 HITS
New subscriber here! Found your channel looking for videos on MTurk. Watched several already🙂😁I'm not quite a young person, haha (SAHM turning 40 this year! 🤦♀️) , but love your informative videos, and awesome outlook! Look forward to learning more!

so, how is your mturk experience now?
I would love to hear more! Thank you !

I'm going to look back to see how many hours you traded to make the $400. Another side hustle that I often see is available is to give plasma. The signs that I see at these places say that you can make up to $700 in a month doing that.
Yeah plasma is good when they have bonuses for being new, after that in my city they give about $75 a week for two donations its not worth that IMO.
You have excellent videos
Hey Chris! Can you bank the points and cash out whenever you want? Or is it a fixed time? Thank you!
I do Mturk from time to time. I usually make anywhere from $10-20 a day on it. Which isn't great, but I mean considering I'm doing it at work during moments of down time ... why the fuck not
Hi Chris great watch I suppose if you use this along with a few other things such as the other survey sites then you could make a pretty ok income
Nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi my amazon mturk account got suspended . Can I know the reason why ?. From india those people are not considering us . Will you tell me the reason . Iam eagerly waiting for your reply
so when you're trying to register for working in mturk, they sent a rejection mail or you worked for some time?
just wondering if when you requested to be a worker, did it automatically accept you or were you denied at first?
Heyy, do you have the answer since I applied now??
Do you think coming from a third work country will affect the income you could create

Did you get paid ? And beside can you buy thing if you don't have a PayPal account neither a bank account
Yes I did get paid! And to answer your question, yes you can choose to get paid via Amazon gift cards if you don't have a PayPal or bank account.
You have to wait 3 business days for them to select you.I suppose if they don’t like you for what ever reason you don’t get to participate.
Piracy has pretty much become my life but I wanna atleast try and pay for some things to support the creators

I've already tried to get approved a couple of times and every single time I've been denied. Does anyone have any tips on how to get approved and do the questions they ask you matter in an application?
Actually I signed up yesterday and got approval today just 1day . I wasn't expected cause I heard it takes a month before approved.

just enough for the pewdiepie chair
YESS
how they can pay you? is international workers like me from philippines can work to this site too? please help
I don't have a reliable source of transportation to go back to work right now so I do mTurk from 6am to 4pm everyday
How much do you make in a month?
@@lang-ed3bk well I WAS doing approximately 10 to 20 $ a day which was somewhere between 200 to 300 $$ a month give or take certain days I couldn't be on the site due to doctors appointments or other personal things going on.
@@lang-ed3bk I did attempt to do mTurk for longer than a normal work day but as much as I already have sleeping issues (I call it vampire life) but, I've actually felt the impact on how not getting proper sleep can effect your daily grind with everything.

So this would work better with a laptop? Than just a phone?

Dude that's terrible. I make $200 a day doing deliveries. Thanks I just signed up and now going to close my account!
Doing deliveries is a great side hustle! Do you use Ubereats, Doordash, Postmates, or do you work for a local business? I've found that deliveries are a little deceptive since you still have to pay for gas, car expenses, and overall depreciation. Also there's something to be said about the WFH aspect of online surveys vs delivery driving. But yes deliveries are far more lucrative than MTURK/surveys. Dropping food delivery side hustle challenges on the channel soon, stay tuned!

hey man love the videos youve put out on amazon mturk! Im kind of following your footsteps in taking this 30 day challenge and using your advice from this video. I do have one question though. Im a little over 50 hits and I just received my first rejected HIT. I really dont understand why but I guess I dont have to lol. Out of your first 100 HITs, how many would you say got rejected off the top of your head?
Thanks for watching man! I would say during my first 100 HITs I had 2-3 rejections due to not understanding the platform and completing jobs incorrectly. Rejections always hurt, but the more jobs you complete, the less the rejections affect your approval rating. Aim to keep you approval rating 98% or 99% if possible. Good luck with the grind bro!!!
From what country did you apply? They keep rejecting my account
