Sure.

1. There are data entry tasks, writing descriptions for online shops, filling out surveys etc. We are looking for partners who have smaller tasks like this that they would like to see completed by our almost 70,000 users now.

2. It's targeted to people who are often on the road, where they have spare time that they want to use to make money. Students, freelancers, travelers come to mind.

3. Tasks vary between mini tasks of <$1 that can be done very quickly and tasks for $10+, which users see later once they have had several tasks approved by our clients, so that we know that they can complete work reliably.

>data entry tasks

On a mobile ?!

> filling out surveys

Selling my privacy you mean ? I guess this will be your biggest source of revenues. People do not seem to mind to sell theirs for a few dimes. But not something I will do easily.

> writing descriptions for online shops

So this would be like 'Do you own one of these machines ?' and then I can pick one and write 'Best dishwasher ever !' to earn an easy dollar ? If so, this is getting morally offensive.

You're assuming the worst on all of these things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam's_razor

Filling out surveys = providing your opinion. Could be completely anonymous.

Writing descriptions for online shops = writing product descriptions for shops who add a lot of inventory but need human-written and unique descriptions.
