Indeed a good list of resources, especially the creative tasks, maybe you can add FrozenLemons(dot)com a good company name development service.

In addition to the abundance of tasks one can crowdsource, there are the tools and systems one can buy or hire a company to use. Those companies include BrightIdea and Spigit.

I ended up trying Prova.com for my logo although I did check out Crowdspring and 99Designs for my upcoming book on crowdsourcing. Found one that I’m going to start using later this week.

Madhav,

Both SquadHelp and Crowdspring offer writing services such as article and review writing.

Fantastic list – just tweeted it to my followers. Lots of ideas here and several resources I wasn’t aware of so thanks for that :-)

Hey Madhav,

Sounds like either Mechanical Turk (if you want to manage everything yourself) or CrowdFlower (if you have a lot of this kind of thing and you need someone to manage it) could be a good bet for you.

I want a way to add hundreds of quality reviews (actual) for various cities globally, to our to be launched app. Wondering if there is a quality service that can support that the same at inexpensive rates.

Thanks for your comment Catherine.

Our translators are well compensated, and they pick up jobs on a first-come, first-serve basis as they choose (after they have passed our testing program). Translators range from college students, to recent graduates, to stay-at-home moms and dads. They’re also full-time translators making extra income.

Many of these translators find myGengo a much more efficient way of generating income than dealing with traditional freelancing jobs, because we remove the inefficiencies and insecurity of dealing with an unknown client, the jobs are relatively simple, and we pay on time every two weeks. Other benefits will soon include training programs and additional resources as they progress.

Testimonials from our translators are available here, as well as more information for new applicants (of which we have several thousand every month): http://mygengo.com/translator

I just looked at your translation crowdsourcing site MyGenGo. They charge clients from 0.05 to 0.15 USD per word. At those rates, how much they pay the translators? Most translators translate 2000 words a day.

I thought slave labor was abolished.
