Job Spooler

I came across another interesting website similar to MTurk. This one is called JobSpooler and can be found here:

http://jobspooler.com/


The site looks to be fairly new, so job searcher beware. However, it is an interesting concept and if legitimate, may be a good way to earn some extra change.

Crowd Spring

I found an interesting website today, here:

http://www.crowdspring.com/how-it-works/creatives

This is a community where businesses and creatives get together. A business needs a logo, design, etc, and creatives work on the logo and then the best one gets paid. Interesting concept.

Pocket Change - CloudCrowd

CloudCrowd is a similar concept to MTurk, where users obtain short tasks that machines can not do (editing, etc) and are paid a small amount per piece. This particular company is fairly new and operates as a Facebook application, but most people I have talked to have been paid daily as promised through paypal. As with any opportunity, please do you homework prior to starting work.

Sites such as this one and MTurk are a good way to earn a little bit extra in your pocket.
