So, for about two years now, I’ve been using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk service to generate a little extra income.  It’s turned out pretty ok overall.  I can do it during ‘idle’ times and not miss out too much on what’s going on around me.  If I had a better laptop, I could do it while watching TV, but my laptop sucks and is tethered to a wall socket and network connection.  I managed to generate about $2000 between May and November last year which was enough to cover most of our family’s Christmas expenses.  Here are some things that I learned along the way.
