CAPTCHA TYPING
What is a captcha typing job?
The websites offering these jobs and the affiliates who promote them claim this is a legitimate operation.
Their Story:
Apparently, real companies spend millions of dollars each year on captchas to keep their sites safe, and they need people to manually "solve" captchas for them. These same companies obtain a bunch of images with text and send them to captcha job websites, which then hire people to "solve" them.
In other words, captcha sites claim that legitimate companies use them as a "middle man" to develop their captcha systems...
The Reality:
For one thing, any website on the internet can use Google’s reCAPTCHA system for free. Not only that, but Google’s system is far more advanced than an image of text, to the point that they are now using an advanced risk analysis engine that works without the user needing to type anything into any captcha box! Pretty cool stuff. Gotta love Google.
My question is, why would companies fork out millions for captcha services when they can use them for free? It makes no sense.
The real reason these sites exist is because spammers need a way to get around the captcha system. They use their bots to create mass email accounts automatically and outsource the manual captcha-solving element to these websites, who then grossly underpay hard-working people in developing countries!
That, my friends, is the cold, hard reality of this scam. Period.
There is nothing legitimate about it; you are actively helping spammers do their dirty work, and you get paid almost nothing, as I am about to explain.
The need for captcha labor online is high, and the practice is becoming more popular.
It makes sense given that it appears to be a simple way to make additional money from home, requires no prior knowledge, and can be done whenever and from anywhere in the world.
What is there to dislike? Everything.
As it turns out, these "jobs" are by no means legitimate sources of revenue and are not at all what they seem to be. You will understand exactly why I feel they aren't worth it by the end of this post.
What do captchas mean?
Captcha's main purpose is to prevent spambots from entering websites. They bother most people (including myself), despite how important they are to maintaining order.
Is this a paid position? Nope.
If assisting spammers with their dirty work doesn't bother you, it's worth noting that the pay is pitiful. I mean, absolutely ridiculously low.
I ran the numbers using some of the most popular sites, and the going rate is around $0.16-$0.50 per hour!
I'm not kidding. Consider working an 8-hour day for $1.28–$4! That's completely insane.
How I got these figures:
The average website pays between $.50 and $1.50 per 1000 captchas solved.
They each take about 10 seconds on average (factoring in downtime from those that cannot be solved).
This is 6 per minute at full speed, which means you could finish 100 in 166.66 minutes.
Note:
CAPTCHA entry job is one of the best online work that gives people an easy income opportunity working from home. Here, you can work from your computer or even mobile phone through a captcha app. If you work 2 to 4 hours daily then you can earn between Rs. 5000 to Rs. 10,000 per month depending on how fast you work.
