Typing task [Participate in an academic research project ~50 mins] - $0.01 +13.13 bonus Confirmed!

$14.33 / hour

Pros
- Time is an approximate. It's 45 minutes for the typing tasks, spread out over 3 days, plus variable time on 2 optional tasks, another quick gambling task, and demographics.- Pretty easy if you don't mind typing captcha-like bits of text.
- Bonus is based on performance. Total is disclosed at the end. I thought it said a $4 bonus for doing all 3 days, but that wasn't on the final page, so...?
Cons
- The three days are connected to this one HIT, so if you do batch work, this clogs up a slot in your queue for 3 days and it was annoying to keep having to exit out of every time I finished some other HIT.- Part of the bonus is calculated on the average of tasks you *and a partner* (real? not real? who knows) finish, so if they're slackers or no-shows, that hurts your pay.

Pros
45 minutes of typing short strings with a partner, spread out over 3 days. Base pay of $4. Strings also earn a piece-rate. If you beat your partner's total, you'll earn an additional amount. Three others tasks which could lead to a greater bonus though I only earned 2.50 from the last. Make use of your pinkie finger! Caps on, caps off.Cons
Must keep the hit in your queue for the entirety of the experiment and come back on the fourth day to get the completion code. I included an additional ten minutes for the other tasks and instructions though they likely took less time.

$15.65 / hour
00:45:00 / completion time
Pros
- bonus clearly disclosed at the end of the study- $4 completion, 25c bonus for accurate prediction
- can divide 45 minutes of time however you'd like over three days typing captcha-like strings of text
- enter moves to next string, saves time, only continues when string is correct
Cons
- must remain in your queue for four days (three active typing and then one survey/submit)- flat payrate per typed string, but bonus is averaged with another participant so may not work in your favor
