Join Cloud Crowd

Today I came to know about Cloud Crowd. It is a program similar to mturk and short task, except the pay is much better! You have to be registered with Facebook to work on the tasks. The tasks are pretty simple like internet research, rewriting description and reviewing. After you finish you task your work is reviewed and then approved. If your work is found not up to their standards they do not pay.Your work is graded as excellent, good, fair and weak,
The best pay I found was for rewriting description. You get paid $2 if you get an excellent rating, less if good or fair and nothing if weak. The easiest task I found was reviewing and it pays 0.04 or 0.08 depending on what you are reviewing.
In all a fun non phone gig. You get paid daily.

I have completed $10 worth of work today and am waiting to be paid. I will update once I receive payment.

Join CloudCrowd. 

If any of you have experience with it, please do let me know via comments how you like it!

Update : I received my payment last night! YAY!! But I wanted to share this snipet sent with the payment. "You may notice prices fluctuating. That's going to be pretty common, with prices moving up and down to match the supply of interested Workers with the supply of Work." So apparently prices may go down if there is less work and more workers.

Update 2:

I received an email from Cloud Crowd today that said "We're going to be operating the site at about half-throttle for the next week or two, because we want to focus on implementing a number of technologies intended to reduce false rejections and improve overall quality."
So those of you who have signed up an have not seen any work, hang in there. I am sure they will be implementing these changes soon and we will see more work with better reviewing process. They have also changed they payment period from 24 hours to 36 hours.

Those of you who have signed up via my referral link, Thank you so much. I appreciate the work you are putting in and hope you will wait around till things fall back in line.

Update 3: 

Lot of changes at CloudCrowd. So far I am liking them, but I have heard that lot of people have been suspended. CloudCrowd has changed the way credibility increases/decreases. Now if a task is not handled correctly there may be a drastic drop in credibility which will affect getting more tasks. They have also started adding "check questions" which will  basically test you and if do not perform well your credibility will drop to 25.

CloudCrowd has also started adding more tasks with very detailed instructions. They have also added a review button next to the completed tasks where you can see the grade you gave and the grade you received. You can appeal any disagreements via this button.

All in all I think effective changes. I just hope there will be more tasks added soon.

Once again, thanks to those who have joined using my referral link. I really appreciate it. :-)

Write for Examiner.com

Quality writers wanted. Examiner.com is seeking people like you with a passion for sharing their insights with others. Join us.

What is Examiner?
Examiner.com has the world's largest team of vetted and dedicated subject-matter writers, known as Examiners, who are credible, knowledgeable and passionate contributors from all walks of life. They are musicians, magazine writers, entrepreneurs, PhDs, college students, stay-at-home parents, seasoned journalists, retirees, etc.

What does an Examiner do?
Examiners provide information, resources and tools related to their area of expertise that can be useful to the people within their communities. For example, a Sports Examiner in Atlanta may write about the Atlanta Falcons, including covering updates on draft, trades, the latest game, where to find statistics and video, etc. Even more important, however, would be to add local perspective, such as: What's the liveliest place in Atlanta to watch the game? Where can you buy tickets? Which hot dog stand in the stadium serves up the best goods?

Since an Examiner is locally focused it becomes easier for the writer to put in unique thoughts and location specific information not found easily anywhere else.

How much will you get paid?
The amount you will be paid depends on various factors like page view, ads, number of visitors etc. But it is being said that Examiner.com pays a higher rate than its competitors like Suite101.com and Today.com.

How to apply?
You can apply via the link above. After applying, your application will be reviewed on various factors like spelling and grammar, voice and tone, writing style etc. It may take upto 2 weeks to hear from them.
