User:Mariusturbatu/Humming tasks

Launched in May 2009, Hummingtasks.com is a marketplace where people who need help with time consuming tasks meet with people who want to make extra money by working remotely on those tasks. The users are divided in two categories: buyers and workers. The buyers are those who are open to pay small amounts in order to have people working for them on rather small assignments, sparing their resources and using the extra time for leisure or even for working on other projects. The workers are the actual users who perform the jobs in exchange of the proposed fees, managing, in this way, to increase their incomes.

Examples of tasks that are found on Hummingtasks.com are: translate texts, convert printed documents to electronic text, research public e-mail addresses, respond to surveys or extract information from designated websites. Creating an account is free, but processing payments through the website is subject of certain transaction fees.

Name
The name stands for the easiness of using the portal and for working on the tasks found within. As the website's main target consists in small, fast-solving assignments, the users are given the impression it's as easy as humming a song.

Work flow
Inside the website, each type of user has its own dashboard, through which he can control his account, tasks and payments. Buyers submit their tasks, choose from different answering templates or create an individual one and, once they receive solutions they can whether accept or, based on objective reasons, decline the work. When a worker's solution is accepted, the fee is automatically transferred to his account.
