Amazon Turks - Great resource for defined onlined tasks

[bflash98]

I was having a lunch with a friend of mine who is launching his own company and he asked if I had heard of Amazon Turks. I hadn't heard of it and he explained it is platform that allows you to outsource some of your online tasks for cheap.

Basically the idea is that you post a task that someone online can perform.

• You list out the steps that you want the person to do.
• You then list out the information that you want to receive back from the person performing the task. You are able to customize the feedback form. You can use a simple text box, radio buttons, check boxes or a couple of other options.
• You then set the price that you will pay for this task.
• People search for the tasks that they want to do and then submit the feedback for your approval after they have completed the task.
• You then have the option of approving or rejecting them depending on how good their response was.

I set up a task to review a website of mine. There were multiple steps that I asked the workers to complete and I paid them .05 cents each for doing the task. I had 20 people complete my task and I received some great feedback about the organization and link structure of my site and it costs my a $1.

Take a look at the tasks that are being offered. There is a lot of potential to have some mundane tasks done for really cheap. I'm guessing there are some really creative people who could use this service to build their online business.
