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.
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
Kamil
ReplyI’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.
ReplyHi Ellavemia,
Thanks for sharing your experience. Sounds like you did very well with this opportunity.
Hopefully others will have the same experience.
Eddy
ReplyThanks 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!
ReplyHi Alvin,
Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it.
I am just happy I could expose you to some other less traditional opportunities.
Eddy
ReplyHi 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.
ReplyHey 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: http://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.
Eddy
ReplyHi Eddy,
Um…well lets see after going through the reviews of your article and video i must say i was huh? . I am still a bit confused I will eventually figure this out.
Thanks again for posting this information.
Btw I heard birdies in the backround how cute. lol

ReplyLOL.
ReplyYou’re welcome. I live in the suburbs so I hear birds, geese, and other strange animals I’ve never seen in the Bronx where I from. I was so accustomed to sirens, loud music and people talking loud that it took me a while to get accustomed to the sounds of nature. Quite frankly, it freaked me out at first. lol
Hi Eddy,
First up, I want to thank you for suggesting Amazon Mechanical Turk to us. It’s a great site and pays us for our work. I signed up last month and had my first check come in a few days back for $58. I’m so thankful to you because I lost my job some time back and was badly in need of some income generating opportunity. You’ve been very helpful Eddy, God Bless You!!

Reply@Eddy Salomon:
LOL to funny. I am originally from New York and I know exactly what you mean regards to loud noises hahaha Now I reside in South Carolina it took a while to get use to it so quiet here lol I’ll have to play my spanish music from time to time lol makes me feel like home….t/c Eddy.
May you have an awesome day!!
Veronica N.
ReplyOh almost forgot to mention I don’t seem to have found an article about Clixsense.com if mention in one of your articles, could you please tell me more about it and how it works please?
Thanks again,
ReplyVeronica
LOL I’m glad someone else can relate. When it gets warm, I roll my car windows down throw on some old school rap and drive around the neighborhood blasting my music. Makes me feel all warm inside during those summer days. lol
ReplyWe visit the old “block” because our family members still live there. But I won’t lie it feels good to come back to our quiet suburban home now. I never thought I would ever say that. lol
I’ll be releasing an article as soon as I get my first payment. I like to wait until I get paid with the companies I personally recommend. Because I’m an affiliate marketer I don’t want folks’ thinking I’m talking out my arse just so I can get paid for referrals. I like to practice what I preach. There are too many sites out there that recommend everything. But most of them have never even tried or researched the crap they’re promoting. So as soon as I get my first payment I’ll dedicate a full article and video. But from all the research I’ve done the company is legit. It basically works very much like YouData. You log in, click on the ads, get paid. Wash, rinse and repeat the cycle every few days and like any good company they offer an affiliate program so you can make even more money by helping others work for the company. Most of the get paid to click websites that I’ll be reviewing will work the same way. I hope this gives you a quick insight to it.
ReplyHi Eddy,
Just a comment about Mechanical Turk…I’ve been working on some of their stuff and I would HIGLY reccommend that you accept the hit BEFORE you start working on th project. I worked on one project one day that took me about 10 minutes but by the time I got back over to submit the work the hit had disappeared and was no longer available! Bummer….all that work for nothing.
I have been paid twice by Amazon for this, so just so everyone knows it does pay out. It wasn’t much but it was interesting to me because I went to buy a book on Amazon and it actually gave me the choice of whether to use my money toward the purchase. Cool deal the way I use Amazon all the time.

ReplyHi Dee,
Thanks for the advice and chiming in. I think Amazon actually explains that in their tutorial. But it’s good that you point it out again so people don’t make the same mistake. I’m just happy to hear another one of our recommendations is making people money. It’s not a lot of money but I bet it’s better than making no money at home. You couple this with many of the other free non-traditional work at home opportunities we’ve recommended and it adds up quickly. Great job and thanks for actually sharing! It’s always good to hear from people like you because it may give folks hope and the incentive to take action.
Keep up the good work!
ReplyI’m so glad I found your site a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been turking since then and writing for associated content and getting paid already. I couldn’t find a job this summer but the writing is adding up already and the “turking” hmph, well I’ve made a small amount and spent a small amount but its adding up. I also am selling my old research papers online and signed up for mylots yesterday. So hopefully everything will add up nicely. thanks.Have a great summer, I really appreciate your blog.
ReplyEddy, I’m from Brooklyn, NY and now that I know you’re from the Bronx, NY I feel I can trust you more!
I just found your site after many years of searching for at home work. I like your philosophy of doing many different things to make money and not wasting time on looking for the ONE big job! It makes so much sense. Anyway thanks for all the research you do and for sharing it with the rest of us.
Joanne
ReplyHey Joanne,
I was actually born in Brooklyn, NY and spent my earlier years there. My heart still feels that connection though. Anybody from Brooklyn knows what I mean. In any event I’m happy you can appreciate the multiple streams of smaller income strategy. I think it’s an easier way to make money now rather than later especially for people just starting out.
Thanks for your continued support. It always means a lot to me getting some local love. Take care and good luck.
Eddy
ReplyDear Mr.Eddy Salomon,
I am a not a US citizen, but i am a Malaysian, and i found that most of the home job links on your site is not available to me. I would appreciate if you could refer a legit home based online data entry or surveys job that i could work online from home. I am trying to secure a home based job in order to enable me to take care of my young daughters needs for eg. sending her to & from school, & tuition etc, and also be able to secure an income at the same time. I have been trying for almost a year now since i lost my administrative assistant job in a software company after it folded in due to the recent economic downturn. I am already 53 years of age now so it is not easy to secure a decent job due to my age. My search for a legit work at home online job was not fruitful as i found out that they are all mostly SCAMS.
Anxiously awaiting your response and thanking you with sincerity.
Yours Sincerely,
ReplyAnn K
Hi Ann,
You can just call me Eddy.
Try visiting my international page: http://www.workathomenoscams.com/international it should help you. The amazon opportunity listed above is also a good option. I also recently introduced Clixsense which is available in your area:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/2009/07/21/is-clixsense-com-a-scam So you do have options.
Good luck.
ReplyHello This sounds good I only have acess to my fiancee’s computer every two weeks example: August 8th and 9th and August 22nd and 23rd etc. when my son visits his dad. I am avaliable about 3 or 4 hours every other weekend and in about a year if I do not find other employment I will be avaliable every doy about 4 hours or 6 hours. thanks for a place to see that is actually real and not a scam.
ReplyYou’re welcome Christina!
ReplyI went through the website bu Nigerians are not allowed to join. Too bad. Why is it that most online ventures do not allow Nigerians. I do not stay in the U.S I love to do online business but I have not seen any legitimate ones that accept Nigerians. Please i would like you to help me with online jobs that Nigerians can do. I have internet facility, I am a graduate and I believe I can work from home and make good money for myself. I have done mystery shopping that paid me $96 here in Nigeria but I need more jobs to do here in Nigeria. Please help me.
ReplyEddy,
Months ago I bookmarked your site, and boy am I glad I did! Not only did I join Mechanical Turk, but on my first HIT I got a bonus plus, now I write on a long term basis for the person I made the bonus from! These HITs are wonderful, and if you put out quality work, you just might get a long term assignment like me. Now, I am waiting for a data entry job to come around from the same requestor!! He said he liked my work so well he wanted to keep me busy! I joined 1 week ago, and I have already made $33.75 !!!
Thank you for putting the websites up that do make you money. You will not get instantly rich, but if you work hard enough, it is something that you can make money at.
Oh! I also joined Mylot, and am very pleased with the community there! I have found friends that are contributors of other writing sites I am a member of! My websites have really been active with the PVs!! Thanks, and keep up the good work here, people do join these sites everyday!
ReplyHi Ikenna,
I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. You may want to visit my international work at home page instead:
http://www.workathomenoscams.com/international
Unfortunately your country is associated with a lot of the common online schemes so I guess companies find it easier to just black list a whole country then to do it on a case by case basis. All it takes is a few bad apples to ruin it for everyone.
ReplyIronically I just read a report where most of the spam comes from the U.S. but yet we’re not getting blacklisted. So go figure. In any event, try the international page listed above. It may help. Good luck.
Hey Elizabeth,
Thanks for taking the time to share your success story with me. Goes to show when people take action it can lead to things. I know at first glance when people see how much is initially offered for these non traditional opportunities they think its a waste of time. But you’re living proof it can lead to bigger and better things. So you go girl!
Again I really appreciate hearing these stories, If more people took the time to share them I think it would inspire a lot more people to succeed. So thanks again. Keep us posted.
ReplyEddy,
I had to update! I’m so excited! Ok,so I earned $33.75, off ONE HIT on Mechanical Turk, secured a long term assignment, (Still going, INCLUDING a data entry job!) OK….still with me? Guess what?
I invested $18 in http://www.GoHomejobStop.com, a full years subscription! (scroll up people, it’s in the list!!) If there is somebody out there that can’t find ONE job from this site in a full year, well…I couldn’t even imagine that scenario!!
Eddy, I have not seen soooooo many writing jobs available in ONE place, you know how I feel about writing!!! There are 217 writing jobs in ONE place…..t-w-o h-u-n-d-r-e-d s-v-e-n-t-e-e-n !! That’s just writing, there is also sections on business, clerical, customer service, engineering programming, finance, creative art design, human resource, medical transcription, web developement, and get this….listening? There is even a miscellaneous section! How cool is that!
Now for the kicker! In the miscellaneous I found a job title that is line with my course work!! (currently going for an Associate in MIBC)
Geeesh! Eddy, I’m telling you, I’m practically doing the “happy-snoopy-dance” here! I’ll get you an update as soon as I have one.
Oh, gee, sorry to be filling up your discussion with such blabber, but I just had to say something about your site!
You guys, listen…..I’m a full-time student and you students out there know money gets pretty darn tight! All you have to do is just keep looking, keep making time in your day to look through these sites, find one and then just DO IT! For every good lead you turn down, someone is coming right behind you and picking the ball up and making that money you just turned down!
Eddy, thanks for your dedication at putting these sites out. You may never know how many people gain a better spot in life because of you, but as for me? I’m going to darn well tell you about it!

ReplyHi Elizabeth,
Top of the Morning or Afternoon to all our viewers out there.
That is totally awesome! ! lol I want in hahaha!!! And would like more information about it the more the Meriel I like to learn and to see what’s out there on the net…it is people like you who inspire just like Eddy Salomon to keep on going. Keep up the great work.

ReplyYou go girl! Thanks for the update Liz! I love your energy and I’m extremely proud of you!
ReplyOK…I’ll bite…
How do you sign up to be a “Mechanical Turk” for Amazon? Or do you just start doing the “HITS”?
Evelyn
ReplyIt’s pretty straight forward. You watch the video above. Click on the link above and sign up. It’s that simple. If you have questions you visit their site and email them or look for their FAQ or help section. Good luck.
ReplyHi,
ReplyJust want to chime in and say that I have been working for Turks since June 2008 and have made over $1,040.00 so far. It helps if you like to write or rewrite and you type fast.
Anyway, thanks for your great site!
Hi Eddy, I just wanted to ask, is Mechanical Turf open to international members? I am from the Philippines and it says on their FAQ that to receive payment you can have it transfer to US personal bank account. Do you Paypal options?
ReplyHi Sky,
I assumed they were. But I would try to email them or read their faq section again.
ReplyHi Eddy,
I just joined AmazonMechTurk and was wondering why my account is seeing a debit of $1 from them? I’m new at this and want to make sure I’m doing everything correctly. I didn’t think there were any fees involved. Please assist. Thanks!
ReplyHi Tanja,
I haven’t heard of such a fee. Did you try contacting amazon directly to determine what that is?
I think that’s the best course of action. A number of people have worked with Amazon and I’ve never heard this.
Let me know what you learn when you contact amazon.
Eddy
ReplyHi Eddy
ReplyI just want to know is it possible to have earnings send to paypal account at Turk,i know they have the amazon gift account and then the us bank account ,unfotunatly i dont have a us bank account .
Tx keep up the best web page ever.
@Eddy Salomon:
Hi Eddy,
I called amazon and spoke with a rep who said he would need to take my debit card number and the debit card’s bank phone number on the back to pass that along to the billing dept. to figure out if that amount needs to be waived. I’m still waiting to hear back.
ReplyDawie,
You need to contact Amazon.com about that question. But from what I gathered that’s not an option.
Hi Tanja,
Thanks for the update. Look forward to future updates regarding this because I’ve never heard anyone having this
Replyissue. Thanks again for keeping me in the loop.
my name is michelle madden. Do I need my own website to do this?
ReplyHi,
You might want to read the article and watch the video above. There was no mention of needing a website for this opportunity.
ReplyI would hate to see you miss out on some great opportunities because of scanning articles. Hope this makes sense. Good luck.
Hi Eddy,
I’ve been using Mechanical Turk for a few months now, and I have to say it really works. Some of the HITS are really easy, and fun.
I’m glad I came across your website, it simply makes it so much easier for us folks who are interested in finding legit ways to make some money.
Thanks for educating us on how to avoid becoming victims to scammers.
ReplyYou’re welcome MGY.
ReplyIt’s always good to hear people taking action on these recommendations. You’re living proof that they do work if folks are willing to come out their comfort zones. So congratulations.
