    I am a member of several free crowdsourcing apps. Crowd sourcing apps are apps that have jobs outsourced to them to make available to the app members. The jobs are very easy and can be completed in 30 minutes or less. The jobs are first come, first serve. You can complete as many as you want. The pay varies per each job.

    Examples of these type apps are: EasyShift, Gigwalk & Field Agent.

    I have tried crowd flower and found that the pay for tasks is extremely low so I haven't been actively using it for a while. Are all these apps you mentioned only available to iphone users? If not what is the average pay for task and what sorts of tasks are you doing? What is the minimum cash out, how often and via what method are you paid?

    I have been using cloudcrowd.com until recently when it merged with other crowdsource.com. I have been using Mturk also for sometime and it is working for me. I am getting paid on a daily basis.

    Honestly, those jobs aren't worth it. You'd have to be so desperate for money and be an illegal alien to even want to do those jobs when you can easily earn way more simply by working at mcdonalds on minimum wage. Those crowdsourcing jobs usually net you around 1-2 dollars a hour. Do you really want to be slaving away doing boring tasks to earn many times less than minimum wage?

    While I do work a regular job, I work via these apps as something to do on the side. I do disagree with you on the pay part. I do 5-10 minute jobs for $5 each. I done a total of 6 jobs in 45 mins and got paid $30. The cost of gas was maybe $3.50 since the two stores I worked in were right beside each other and are only 5 minutes away from my house. I don't see anyone making $30 at McDonalds in 45 minutes.
