love the concept and the initial onboarding process. unfortunately, i'm stuck with no tasks to complete. maybe include previous tasks that were already done and offer a significantly smaller payout just to get people going? if you help them make $5 in 5 minutes immediately, you'll have them hooked and coming back for a while.

@taylorhou It's not really clear if you can earn $5? It's focussed on 5 minutes of spare time, wonder if people posting the tasks can define the reward or that it's always 5$ per 5 minute task?

@taylorhou @bramk Different tasks will feature different pricing and duration. The complexity or specific expertise a given task (e.g., knowledge of interior design fundamentals) helps determine who is targeted for the work, and what the value is. It's early – we're adding more tasks as we go, and learning at each step.

@bramk @shobe yup. again. nothing against the product. It's something I wanted to build myself for the hordes of retail employees standing around folding clothes. =) you've got the initial impression of someone installing and authenticating with facebook to get them hooked. I've checked back twice now and still no tasks to even try. as a product champion, I'll keep coming back cus I'm genuinely interested in the product but most other people aren't as "champion-y" and will lose interest or even remove the app cus they didn't get any value. best of luck regardless. get some menial tasks in there just for users to try!

@bramk @taylorhou Much appreciated; we're on the case. Better onboarding flow work is in process.

I wish the website was as descriptive initially as your post here on Product Hunt. Pretty difficult at first to determine what it is you can do with this. Considering money is involved, makes it a bit sketchy to trust it. Interesting idea though.

Out of School - iOS 9.3 Beta

Interesting idea, excited to give it a try. Will the app send me a notification when a task is available for me?

@timjahn Not _yet_ – but we'll get there. A neverending world of pull-to-refresh is not one I wanna live in either.

Cool. What informed your decision to make the app invite-only? How long do you intend to continue evaluating applications before making the switch to an open platform? Consider having a few dummy tasks as part of your onboarding. My initial experience was a little weak as "other workers have grabbed all the tasks"

@mimurchison I'm one of the co-founders. We're scaling up the tasks available as we add partners. Right now we're limiting availability (and that "Coffee Break" screen is from an earlier version, is a bit misleading and is soon to be replaced) but will gradually increase the expert pool size. Also - some 'practice' or introductory tasks are on the very very short list of new additions. Great feedback.

I was extremely engaged when using it for the first time. Mechanical Turks for mobile can be fun and huge when the appropriate tasks (optimized for mobile) are made. Congrats @shobe!

Review Spare5?

Reviews

Most Informative

think Spare5 is a useful platform for people who want to earn money by doing simple microtasks. It is beginner-friendly and allows users to complete short tasks such as image tagging, data labeling, or providing feedback. I like that the tasks are easy to understand and usually take only a few minutes to complete. One of the best parts is that it pays via PayPal and offers a payout even with small balances, making it very accessible. However, the availability of tasks can vary depending on your location and activity level. To make the most of it, staying active and completing qualification tasks is important. Overall, I would rate Spare5 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a solid microtasking platform for part-time earners, especially those who are just starting in the online earning world.
