I tried Upwork once at the recommendation of a pretty good boss I once had… after 6 months and only 1 failed attempt at getting some simple “do excel work online for other people” I deleted it and went to the local “sell your bodily fluids” building.
I tried doing MTurk with all the plugins and shit. Did not get many good results. I’ve seen people say “you gotta do 100 or 1000 tasks within a week” and bro I’m not sitting here answering a 30 minute survey for 12 cents lol.
MTurk is something I do every now and again. Its very cyclical though. Both with the tasks offered and my anxiety hitting a level that I can make myself obsessively click buttons for hours a day for a few bucks.
I’ve been able to get a hundred dollars(ish) in a month doing surveys posted by Universities and Marketing research departments if I spend hours each day clicking through everything possible. But after a few months they dry up and I stop checking the listings. (Probably lines up with grad students schedules). The few actual “help a business do business stuff” are so dodgy for me that it fucks up my Accept/Reject number.
You answer surveys for PHD students, researchers, and corporate focus tests. Most of them the time you get few a couple dimes per study. It’s not much but I get to shit while getting paid. Only thing I hate is having to visually confirm my identity because I don’t trust their storage to not be backed.

Made more money and it felt less draining to do.
Ah! Can’t wait for it to be legal to sell blood in Argentina, viva la libertad!

Yeah I’ve made a couple hundred a month doing Prolific. Not bad considering I try my best to do it during company time lol
Prolific? Never heard of that.
