    As one data point, I spent a while during college and took Turking seriously as a source of income and averaged about $7-$8 an hour over that time period. Not awesome, but not bad …

    This is interesting though this biggest problem is their seed groups are in the size of 1%-3% of the networks population. If you can affect that much of a large enough network, to …
