Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is the world leader in providing micro jobs but it is very difficult for new users to get approved to join the website in 2017. Due to a large number of sign-ups, the websites have put the approval of new workers from India on hold. Micro workers are fast emerging as the preferred go-to option for freelancers and small businesses who are looking for their work to be completed. This has created a huge demand for work from home freelancers and many Indians have started earning Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 per month working just two hours every day.
The demand for micro-workers who can perform micro-jobs is at an all-time high and many new websites similar to Mturk are now online. These websites are getting hundreds of new sign-ups every hour as more and more people want to earn easy money sitting in the comfort of their homes. Are you ready to start working online?
