Microworkers Jobs not submitting 90% of the time!

I joined Microworkers in the past week and started doing the jobs straight away.

Most times I click the button to submit a job, it takes me back to the jobs page, not the completed jobs page. When I manually check completed jobs, the jobs I have done are not there.

Out of about 30 jobs up to now, only three of them are actually showing up on the page where the completed jobs are.

I also noticed other people saying this same thing, yeah it submits like one time out of ten but the other nine jobs, wave goodbye.

Microworkers is having people working for nothing. OK next to nothing. I did 30 jobs @ say 30c each average, I should have $9 right? Wrong! I have 24c from doing two jobs at 12c each that showed up.

It doesn't give me any confidence to also find that they do not answer emails, I knew this before I emailed them but emailed them all the same asking why they only pay me for 10% of the jobs.

I wasted about 4 hours to get 24c out of it, not even a quarter of one dollar.

Websites like this need to be shut down. Its not just me they are doing this to.

Of course all you will find online is praise for Microworkers... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why that is even if they suck hard they are paying for people to say "Yeah this site rocks" come on, we know this!

That is after all what the site is all about, telling a load of lies about a product or service you never owned or used. I felt bad enough lying as it is but then NOT EVEN GETTING PAID WHEN THE PAY IS THIS LOW ANYWAY, IS RIDICULOUS.

Just warning anyone thinking of joining and doing work. I guess its great if you're an employer... but Microworkers probably charges you the employer and doesn't pay the worker (me) somewhere, the money gets "lost" or thats probably what they will say.

Who know what they will say when they do not answer emails. I guess thats the deal breaker, this company is taking money off the people that need it most (scratching around for 20c here, 12c there) and not answering WHY that is, so they are just stealing the money.

This company is based in Texas, so its not like they are having trouble understanding the language, I am in the UK.

24c for 4 hours work. What a shower of total *******s. You might as well sneak behind a beggar and as people are throwing coins into his hat, you're there taking coins back out without him seeing. Except in my case I can see Microworkers stealing my money - they simply don't add the job to your completed tasks.

Good work if you can get it, but then again it is just stealing.

IMO you can only make money online if...

1. You were there in the beginning.
2. You have vast knowledge.
3. You have money already.

Really, its probably easier to just go work in a supermarket, far more rewarding than this crap.

    I figure my rate would be about 4 cents per second. 24 cent is about 6 seconds work. Reporting, with connection problems, etc... could EASILY cost that much, so I can't think of ANYTHING I can do for 24 cents!

        Hmmm, better off ditching that slave pay, and just go to Fiverr, and do anything silly that people want!

        Making Happy Birthday out of spagetti, etc.

        I know someone who is making almost $700 a month in the UK, doing silly stuff like this, but she does work hard for it!

    Oh well the local supermarket has a job going there, pay works out to be about 0.5c a second. Would take about 50 seconds to make 24c. You could be sat there staring into space.

    You say right enough. But you should remember something is better than nothing. So where someone is not getting any kind of job there this kind of micro job can help them a little not huge. But i agree that microworkers is for the benifit for employer not for the workers. It take huge time but give less return. So in one sided view you can say this clearly that microworkers is doing cheat with their workers.

    That's very normal, it's very easy to find a way to not pay something on Microworkers. Making an income on there is NOT suggested in any way unless you're doing a LARGE amount of them all day long.
