Ask YC: Out-sourcing little boring jobs

3 points by pi3832 18 years ago · 5 comments · 1 min read


I've got some flow-charts that are currently image files, which I need to redo as Oo Draw files. I hate that kind of mindless work. Are there any websites out there where you can pay people to do little one-day jobs like this?

    Probably not--there's a lot of text in the charts. And I want to be able to edit them easily in the future.

    Thanks, though.

    Looks perfect. Thank you.

      Or maybe not. That doesn't seem to be set up for one-person jobs. More like hiring a swarm to sift through data.

      I may give www.peopleperhour.com a try. (The Mechanical Turk suggestion did manage to break my brain-lock, though, so it was useful.)
