DESCRIPTION

Crowdsourcing internet marketing - research, campaign and optimize with Mechanical Turk - Gab' unusual guide to doing the usual. So long as you're not spammy, you can use MTurk for market research, so that by understanding customers you achieve higher conversion rates. This is done with customer interviews and surveys. You follow this up with having customers create the campaigns. You crowdsource relationship building by having Mechanical Turk's Turkers do this on your behalf. The Turkers can also help you by generating content (text, videos, pics), participating in social media to build up your accounts and seeding forum discussions on behalf of forum owners. It doesn't hurt to crowdsource contact information for webmaster or PR outreach to journalists. Once all is said and done, you analyze by exporting your data, removing personally identifiable information, and asking Turkers to find interesting patterns in the data and provide reasonable explanations for them. The more useful and insightful the patterns and explanations, the greater the bonuses.
