Lets assume you've never posted a job to Mechanical Turk before. Here is what you need to do:
1. Create an Amazon Web Services account
2. Figure out how much you want to spend (and don't forget to calculate Amazon's share)
3. Prepay the exact amount or more
4. Create a Human Intelligence Task template
5. Publish the Human Intelligence Task
6. Login to Amazon's portal regularly and navigate several pages to find your results. Have fun clicking refresh.
7. Review the results and promptly pay your workers (or they may ignore future requests)
How much is your time worth? Feedback Army spends the majority of the fee towards paying the mechanical turk workers. The Feedback Army software saves you from many of these steps and conveniently transforms the results into an RSS feed.
- dmix 18y agoI have never used Mechanical Turk before and I see that you are adding some value. If you improve the look of your own site you might have something here. Another idea might be to offer larger scale tests with graphical reporting on the results, basically using the low cost/test advantage that Turks offer.

- raffi 18y agoThanks. This is a pretty new project for me (< 2 weeks old) following the release early, release often mentality. I've seen enough interest to validate the idea and so I'm reaching out to a few designers I know to get a proper face lift. I'll also dump a few dollars into making some design firms aware of the service and see where that takes me.
- greendestiny 18y agoI tell you what else you will provide, after you've gotten going - a relationship with the Turks. They'll know what you pay for (and that you will pay), and you should know how to get good results out of them.
