Amazon Mechanical Turk has allowed me to conduct research quickly. It has allowed me to have a quantitative dataset to use in writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I disliked about MTurk was the large proportion of workers whose first language is not English. There is a strong presence of non-native English workers on the site. The quality of work for some of these workers is sub-par due to a poor understanding of English and the inability to accurately understand the task's instructions.

If you are looking to get the most out of MTurk, you will want to request MWS Developer Keys. These will give you the ability to customize qualifiers, make your own templates, and try your tasks out before publishing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MTurk has provided a way for us to get almost immediate turnaround for simple tasks. We set the amount we are willing to pay per task (called HITs) which is often extremely cheap compared to hiring an individual/group. With the customizable qualifiers, we can be sure that work performed will be relevant and high-quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the worker quality is low. Even with master qualification and limiting to those who had 99% previously approved hits, it does not usually help much in my opinion, In a study, my undergraduate students complete using 30 minutes and these Mturkers (master + highly experienced) only used 10mins+ , providing significantly shorter responses!

In comparison with just running the study in university labs we get answers from people in different stages of their life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No one knows how to get "masters" so it's harder to get higher paying tasks. You can end up wasting lots of time for low paying tasks. Many of the tasks fill up very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Make sure you offer more money to people taking your surveys because this will make people more likely to take them. Also, don't require the "masters" qualification as that limits the group of people who can take your survey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to make money at a time that works with your own schedule. I don't mind taking surveys so it works well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t like how sometimes the HIIT will expire after you took a survey for something higher paying (like $2) and then when they ask you to go back to the page and put in the code it’s gone so you can’t get paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes if you don’t get paid you are given an email to contact the person responsible for the survey and you just tell them you participated but weren’t compensated. So that is helpful because they can make you a private HIIT so you can get paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
