Work At Home With Amazon.com
My bad…
Before I get into how to make money at home with Amazon.com I just wanted to apologize for my in frequent posts of late. It’s the summer time & honestly I just want to be lazy for the duration of it. I haven’t been able to do that since I was in elementary school. Now that I’ve retired, have a baby girl and my wife is home for the year, we figured we might as well enjoy the lifestyle that a work at home career as an affiliate has provided us. So please excuse the infrequent posts from now until September. We’ll be back in full force then. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming…
Most of us know Amazon.com as a great place to buy stuff at a lower price. But did you know they offer work at home opportunities as well? I’m talking about a lot of opportunities here, not the one off telecommuting jobs that major corporations rarely offer. Amazon’s work at home opportunity is known as Amazon Mechnacial Turk program. Strange name if you ask me. But who cares?
Here’s How It Works.
Let’s say a company has a directory of thousands of restaurants and need the hours of operation.

Or let’s say, a company has people uploading images on their site but doesn’t want people uploading the dirty kind you surf for late at night when you think no one is watching. (lol)
How Much Can you Make?
Browsing around the HITS projects, the payments are relatively low. It’s anywhere from $.05 - $100 (If you’re lucky.) per HIT. But there are so many available hits that it could add up. Just don’t expect to support your family on this like you could with Medical Transcription, Being An Affiliate, Blogging, etc.
Are the positions actually available?
Don’t ask me, take a look yourself by clicking here. lol
Conclusion
I think it’s worth a shot since there are many "jobs" that are actually available and there are chances for higher paying assignments. But I wouldn’t say it’s a huge money maker. But you know my philosophy. It’s better to do a lot of little things that make you money which can add up quickly than making no money applying for work at home jobs that are extremely hard to land! My loyal subscribers that have actually followed this advice had had work at home success because of it. So what do you have to lose?
See ya when I see ya.

Hello Ed,
Love the website and I have decided to focus more on affiliates and surveys now more than traditional work from home opportunity. I have two questions for you. One, I am seriously thinking of joining Wealthy Affiliate and I plan on earning while I earn. Typically, how much money is offering for the jobs posted in WA. I know that you said that there are jobs there only for WA members so typically how much do they pay?
Second, I have applied to a couple of online surveys but it appears that I am not that qualified because I never receive surveys. It may be because I am 28 and single and I also work an online ebay business. So, is there a way I can twick my profile so that I am more qualified for surveys and so that I can start making money?
Thanks in advance

I’ve been using Mechanical Turk for a while now. Around Christmas time I was living solely on Hits and buying food from Amazon with my earnings. That was extreme, but I’m just saying it works. I ran into a couple of Requesters who were willing to pay a bonus because of my quality of work. There are all ranges of Hits from a penny to quite a lot, but most high paying jobs are worth more than the Requester is willing to pay. Still, I can say that it’s a legitimate place to make some extra cash.

Hi Ellavemia,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you did very well with this opportunity.
Hopefully others will have the same experience.

Thanks for the very informative piece here.
I really like to get a work at home job and you gave me a nice look at the opportunities to work at home.
Thanks again Ed!

Hi Alvin,
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
I am just happy I could expose you to some other less traditional opportunities.

Hi again Ed,
I have a question. Is there a way I can transfer my earnings to a local bank in my country? I noticed that MTurk can only make transfers to any banks in the US.

Hey Alvin,
I wish I could tell you that I have the answer but I really don’t know what you would do in that situation.
You may want to visit: www.mturk.com/mturk/contactus and ask them this question directly.
They may be able to provide some insight. That’s always a problem for my international users, some countries are covered and some aren’t. It’s very frustrating to say the least.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance.
