Ask YC: Out-sourcing little boring jobs

3 pointspi38325 comments

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?

will http://vectormagic.com/ help? unfortunately, no longer free.

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.

Mechanical turk?

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.)
