    lol that's not exactly a shining endorsement.

    One more thing about this turk amazon thing, but can Londons Burning provide any more info about the qualification process?

    Also I was wrong on my numbers. You would only have to do 15 a day (20 day work month aka 5 days a week) at $10 a piece to hit $3000 for the month.

    I'm curious do you get more if you choose credit from amazon instead of actual cash.

    Wait, was this in Houston? You found a Brian Leetch jersey in Houston or somewhere in the northeast?

    Heck, I think I found my new hobby. Rummaging through thrift stores for old sports jerseys. Not necessarily to make money, but just to see what I can come across.

    I tried to transcribe an audio recording too and my score was too low (78). It was transcribed fine, but all their nitpicky Q & A and everything else... lol

    I see them all the time at the one close to my home. But they want like 14 bucks for the good ones. But you know want I do find there? Those t shirts that the rockets give away from time to time in home games. They seem like they never been worn and its like 2 bucks each. I bought like 3 diffrent ones. My fav one was the Beat la shirt from the playoffs.

    Generally there's not as many repeatable tasks you can do that pay $10 a piece or are higher paying. A lot of the higher paying tasks are one and done type deals from my experience. There's usually a lot more repeatable tasks you can do that are in the lower wage earning though.

    The risks like you said is you can get rejected for your work and there are certain qualifications you must have. Some require having a 90% or better approval rating on the work you've submitted. Some companies can take as long as a week before they get around to approving or rejecting your work. It's just not a reliable steady source of income like a regular job. There's no medical insurance. No benefits. I get those with my regular job. I just do the turk work when I want to make some extra cash.

    I guess in theory you could do this 40 hours a week and make a living off of it but I've never heard of anyone doing that.

    My salary at my FT job is fixed so I'm selling products for a direct sales company to earn extra money. It has added more money on the table so I'm happy. Easy peasy.

    You're a guy so IDK if a direct sales company is your thing. There could be a direct sales company that sells products geared towards men. Who knows!?
