Earlier I wrote about my impressions using Mechanical Turk to run the Feedback Army Usability Testing Service. Here I write about my favorite part, dealing with the workers and taking care of them.

What to Pay on Mechanical Turk

What you pay will affect the turn around time of responses and to some extent their quality. Some people won’t even bother if the pay is too low. I found people will review websites for $0.25-$0.30 but I changed the pay to $0.45-$0.50 and stuck with it.

This is a good summary to help get you started with using Mechanical Turk effectively for user testing your site or app. I’m interested in trying this out, has anyone here tried this?
