demonOK. The demon is sitting on my right shoulder today, angel on my left. The angel’s not saying anything, but that ol’ debbil demon is yapping his head off. And he has an idea … for you.

Might make you a lot of money. Might not. Want to hear it?

That’s what I figured.

I ran into this site some months ago. It’s put out by Amazon, but I think it’s only available in the U.S. You can post work here and have it done for REALLY cheap. Here it is:

Amazon Mechanical Turk

Now … as you know, you will never create a presence online unless you can write at least some content. But it doesn’t need to be YOU who does the actual writing. That’s where the Mechanical Turk comes in.

You can post jobs there (just as you can on a lot of other sites) and have someone else do them. Difference here is, it’s generally a lot cheaper. You can Google

Amazon Mechanical Turk review

which I recommend you do. You’ll find a lot of negative comments. But guess what? The ones I saw are all negative about the way it’s being used … not about the results.

For instance … I bet you could go to an article directory online and copy three 500-word articles you like and then post a work order on Mechanical Turk offering $2.50 to someone who would re-write all three of those articles for you, making them completely different, and coming out to at least 400 words each. And I bet someone would take that offer and do it for you.

So the question is, what kind of quality would you get back? The good thing here is, it’ll be U.S. residents responding, mostly people whose native language is English. If you hate to write, this one is certainly worth a test.

And if you test it, let me know what you think …
