If you are taking on a project that consists of many repetitive or medial tasks, you may want to consider crowdsourcing as a method to achieve a cost-effective solution. ShortTask.com can find you people that can complete your work and get your project done quickly and efficiently.
How ShortTask Works
ShortTask is based on the concept of crowdsourcing, which is using people to complete a larger task with a series of smaller tasks. These tasks can range from doing internet research, proofing a document, posting to a social bookmarking site, or writing an article. Typically, there are several small tasks done anonymously for the requester for a compensation or reward.
Benefits to Seekers
An example is niche research. The Seeker needs to know who his competitors are, so he assigns the following task: “Find 10 different sites about (your niche)”. The Seeker then sets a reward for the task as $3.00 and makes it available for 20 people. Knowing that people search for things in different ways, you can expect to have a variety of competitors that you may have not have found on your own. The Seeker can expect some redundancy in the results, but with a list of 10 sites from 20 people is 200 total sites whittled down can be an quality list of sites to analyze further. This research can be achieved for far less financial investment than hiring a single person or a firm to do similar research in a short time frame.
Benefits to Solvers
ShortTask is letting people, whom they call Solvers, work from home to complete these small tasks that are part of larger projects. The tasks can take from a few seconds to over an hour depending on the complexity of the task. Solvers can receive payouts once they accumulate $10 of rewards via PayPal. At the time of writing this post, there were 41,962 tasks that were available.
This is a great work at home opportunity for someone to complete tasks why they sit in front of a television at night, or have free time to pass. There is no shortage of work for a Solver, who wanted to earn money by completing tasks for Seekers. Opportunities are being posted everyday, so there is always something new.
