How much does Amazon pay?

There are so many tasks in mTurk. Some are highly paid and some are very low paid a $0.01. This is the biggest disadvantage of mTurk and there will be a high demand for highly paid jobs. 


We can clearly observe the payouts offered for each task. These payouts are quite low and require you to do so many menial tasks which might seem boring and uninteresting to you.

A 2018 academic study analyzed 3.8m tasks completed by 2,676 workers on MTurk and found that average earnings through the platform amounted to $2 per hour. Only 4% of all workers earned more than the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour.

The problem is that, individually, they’re not big earners. You have to do quite a few in an hour in order to earn anything of significance. If you are okay with money, then this might be a great opportunity for you to earn money on Amazon Mechanical Turk.
