Description

MTurk Crowd has a daily thread where workers and clients can share information and tasks and provides how-to guides for new or aspiring workers. Workers share, for example, links to lucrative tasks with high approval ratings (that is, a high likelihood to have the finalised task approved for payment by the requester) and high monetary rewards, while clients discuss the correct design and implementation of tasks to the platform.
