As usually I was surfing through Google until I stumbled across PIXPROFIT. Before we go deep into the concept of a new way of making money let us know the basics of the terms used in this website. The word captcha has become very popular in the internet world and by this Captcha only you are going to make some money. Let me explain you something regarding Captcha and its importance.
What is Captcha?
Captcha was introduced in the year 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper (all of Carnegie Mellon University), and John Langford (then of IBM). Its abbreviation is “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. Captcha is an image which cannot be copied and is generated randomly by the system. It’s used for protecting the websites from bots.
Why was this introduced?
Let’s consider an example here, for instance say that you are paying your customers who fills the forms, for promoting your website. Say that the users have signed up using some automatic form filling software (like roboform), by which it’s pretty clear that the user did not go through your website and that you lost your money in the process (Affiliates lose their money and business). So, to keep away the bots Captcha was introduced.
Before and after Captcha?
Before captcha there was no guarantee that the person who took the program is a human, but once when captcha was introduced the bot level gradually decreased as there is no way that a machine can read a distorted image. Now it’s very much sure that more than 90% of who joined are humans.
Though you get paid less this is really an innovative idea of making money online for free. The concept is very simple, as what we need to do is enter the word shown in the picture into the box. That’s it, job well done. You will make $1 for every thousand captcha’s that you enter successfully. May be it sounds odd at first, even I thought its waste of time, but what you will do at the end is like you get paid for 1000 words that you type. Those who are good at typing can earn more. You are paid once you reach the minimum set which is at present, 0.5$ and will be sent once in every week. The payments are send only through PayPal. To be frank I just joined and I am having 0.02$ in my account. Once you reach 0.5$ which is the minimum mail your PayPal email id and pixprofit email id. You will receive your payments thereafter. Presently they are in the process of adding a new feature called instant payouts and also a stats page. So, if you can join now you have maximum chances of making money.
Let’s consider an example here.
Say that you type 50 captcha’s per minute
That comes to around 50*60=3000 captcha’s that comes around $3 per hour.
Let’s say you work 3 hours every day $3*3=$9
Per month (assuming on an average each month is of 30 days) $9*30=270$ which is quite a good amount.
Why the company is paying for just entering captcha’s?
In their own terms “This portal is devoted to data-entering. Your job will help to digitize books and papers. Another goal is to assist to visually and hearing impaired persons wishing to use computers and internet. Currently we work with persons that have poor hearing and vision. Many websites now require so called CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) to be entered in order for the user to continue using website services. This has significantly increased in a few past years: e-mail, shopping and many more websites now require the CAPTCHA to be inputted. Some websites have an audio option, but these are not easy to solve. Our goal is to provide these people with access to web-resources they need. ”
Today is 20th of Oct 2008 and as i said you previously that they are going to put in new features, they have added Stats option which means that you can view the last captchas that you have entered. Also they have added preferences option where you can have your own preferences set like you can activate an option to notify through ding sound. Now, you don’t necessarily have to spend lot of time on this site. You can carry on with what ever work you are doing and when you hear the ding sound you can go to that site and fill the captcha and keep continuing your other work.
Some one has mentioned that the there is big time lag for the next image to appear. For time being i hope now they are a bit fast in appearing the next image. Please let me know if you are still finding long time lags for the next image to appear.
