Even if you didn’t go to the right school or come from the right part of the country, you can still do jobs that you want if you can show that you have the skills. Chapter 4 gives you the lowdown on joining the crowd. Becoming a Crowdsourcer If you’ve read this far, you’re seriously considering becoming a crowdsourcer, a person who creates and manages the crowdsource processes.

For more on managing crowds, head to Chapter 14. 6. Look at the results. You become the best crowdsourcer by learning from what the crowd has done. When the crowd returns your job, it also gives you information about how you should plan your next crowdsourcing endeavour. You can read about learning from results in Chapter 15. 7.

Mediocre reputations force workers to take uninteresting work or low-paying tasks. Crowdworkers often try to protect or improve their reputations. They try to gain qualifications for new skills or get crowdsourcers to give them a top review on a task. If a reputation is summarised in a numerical scale, as it is at many crowdmarkets or crowdsourcing sites, workers may protest a low score or a claim that they didn’t complete a job correctly.
