Yes. Alpine Access is a good place to make about $10/hour. You are a call center employee from home, basically. Babbletype is another place where $10/hr is reasonable and you can work it on your own time.I recently started doing Mechanical Turk tasks as a way to combat boredom and make some extra Amazon spending money. The pay is terrible, but since I'm sitting at a computer all day anyway, it hasn't really bugged me. But it makes me wonder if there are other types of work out there that I could be looking into. Are there companies who need someone to just sit around and input data or something? How would I go about finding them?
The pay on MT isn't terrible if you know what you're doing. Read this: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/can-you-actually-earn-reasonable-money-from-mechanical-turk/
I only work hits that are worth a dollar or more - most recently I wrote some preseason reviews of SEC football - $2.50 for 200 words. I did 8 in about 90 minutes, which came out to $13/hr...?
I actually have some money in my Amazon payments account but for some reason it keeps failing to transfer it to me. I need to look in to that.
ETA: The problem with "work from home" opportunities (or rather the problem with many people that pursue them) is that they include, you know, "work". Many people want to use the internet to make passive income and that is really hard to do without some technical expertise or hustling on the front it. But if you are willing (and it sounds like you are) to trade your time for revenue it is possible - often easy - to make an extra $10-12/day while watching TV or listening to music and doing mindless work.
