Offer for .16 cents

[Annella]

Sorry to say this but the daily tasks are a rip off and the owners (crowdflower or whatever they call themselves), get these tasks given to them from business's that do not want to pay a legal minimum wage. So far they have slipped under the radar by doing this, but the Labor Department is investigating them as well as the IRS. It was started by a bunch of college kids and they are reaping big rewards from these companies but issue the tasks out to the public for peanuts. The owner was interviewed and he basically laughed at the public for doing these tasks for what measly monetary gain the get. He also said they have contests between themselves to see how cheap they can get a task done. Like a joke for them.

I won't do them anymore after I researched the background on them. They are based out of San Francisco, and you can't get a reply to any request you put to them. They put tasks out in different parts of the world where labor is cheap or people are willing to work for hours for hardly nothing. I read the statistics on who will work like this and the US came in first. There are people in Europe who will not do these tasks because of the rip off presentation.

Can you say technical sweatshop?

These kinds of daily task go outside of fusion cash. I've seen these task similar to other websites that pay you to do stuff. As far as time consumption, personally, I find the daily email and daily ptc to be the best. Of course most people do that as a daily routine and are looking for ways to make extra income a day I find .17 cents a day to be enough to add up over time.

free money is hard to come by sometimes. I hate the reality of that statement but it is true. Crowd flower isn't forcing you to do anything and they are not performing anything illegal. There is a reason they call it a task.

What you are saying sounds reasonable. For me I would like to know your source and research so I can review for myself as well. Thanks and Have a great day!

I used to try those offers, but if they took too long I would stop and never finish.

[clickers]

Yes I can certainly second that. It really is too little for the time you have to spend doing it. They say it's supposed to be .30 minutes but it takes longer.

[mrsbluesmith]

Yesterday I completed an offer that took well over 30 minutes. I had lists of businesses and a website link and I had to reply whether or not the website was for the business listed. I had to verify information on the website and the credit was only .16 cents. Although I won't complain about an extra .16 cents added to my account, i'd like to see a better credit for offers that take you over 30 minutes to complete.

For Real!

I hate those. Except that's all that I can do because I'm a teenager, but not old enough to work for real. Therefore I can't do offers that require cell phone number, credit card, or payment 

[glenda1bruce]

They take a lot of time but I usually get a page that says we got all we needed for this task.  Has anyone else had this exsperiece?  I try to stick with the dail email, paid to click, and videos, but I have had error reports for the videos these last few days.  I am going to try again today.  You have to view the tasks just like a survey it takes awhile to complete and you only get a little for it but every little bit helps right?

Right On! I could not have said it better myself

[BrittaJo14]

I agree that they don't pay nearly enough for the time we put into them. I rarely ever do them for that reason. Once in a while I will see one for .80 to 1.40 and if I have nothing else to do I will sit down and complete it, but other than that it's not worth it to me to spend all that time for a little change.

I would never spend 30 minutes to earn 16 cents. Even being unemployed my time is worth more than that. You can find that kind of money on the floor of a store with less effort.

[KDougall]

I think I already said that the tasks at least credit. I think they are good if you really want to make a few cents to cash out or something. But those and a couple of the surveys are the best I've found for actually crediting. Of course, the daily e-mail and click for cash always credit.

[jpham]

It's very frustrating when things take so much effort for so little returns, especially the 40-50 minute+ surveys that give only like 50 cents. There ought to be a law, it's way below minimum wage out here!

[EAngels]

Hope they'll make a higher amount of cash for the longer time you spent.
