Short Tasks 101

There's this site I found on some other job site called "Short Tasks". It's a new take on craiglists job postings and very simple. There are solvers and seekers; The seekers are those posting tasks to be completed and the solvers are the ones answering the posts. Once you register, you can begin searching through all the possible tasks listed. Then you accept the tasks and the timer begins. There are some that require you to do a google search and record the link, others want you to post on a forum or even your twitter page (which sucks for me 'cause I don't have one). Once you finish the tasks and the seeker approves, you receive payment to your account.

I tried a couple of tasks that were under $0.50 and they were quick and easy. The only drawback is that some solvers ask you only do one tasks of theirs. I also noticed that some of the Afilliated Service posts asks you to go to Employment Crossings and post a comment either in their forum or somewhere else. I've been on Employment Crossings and I wasn't very happy with the results. It's basically a site that advertises that they have the most job postings and that you would find a job within a few weeks. This was not the case with me which is why I cancelled my membership. All I ever got were emails with jobs that required more than I could do, and links to long-winded and boring articles about John Simpson himself. He seemed to have a hard time getting to the point which leaves me to believe that no one ever proofread his work.

Paying someone to make a post about a service they haven't actually tried is false advertisement and just plain shady business. Most of the post seem to be for bringing traffic to a site and not really doing a real job. I kinda expected there to be some posts to edit pictures or articles, etc. Keep in mind if the job requires you to go to a site and send for more information, expect to be called or constantly emailed. Might be worth the $0.20 or might not. Also, you have to wait til you amount to $50 to withdraw your money. I say give it a few months when more seekers are posting, hop on and give it a try.
