Ask YC: Out-sourcing little boring jobs

3 points by pi3832 18y ago ↗ HN

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?

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.)

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.
