More marketing-driven. |
| Realistic earning potential | Low to modest unless you do high volume or more complex tasks. Many users report a few dollars per hour. Some do more if they get specialized tasks.

Some may reach higher returns, but most beginners will get much less than claimed unless they put in heavy volume or have special skills. |
