Ask HN: Would you answer yes or no questions for 5 cents?

Mechanical turk does already exist for this, so in terms of distribution, the problem is solved.

However the price and sample size still might need some tweeking.

Using your numbers, I'm paying $100 per 1,000 people, per question. 1,000 is an arbitrary number I chose to represent some kind of usable sample size.

Furthermore, re: the specific 1,000 people that answer my question(s), it is probably important to know their demographic background in depth.

This way, I don't waste $100 asking 1,000 seniors from North Dakota if they have ever heard of my avocado toast restaurant on 32nd and Broadway.

I guess in a lot of ways, this is what survey companies and ad agencies are doing.

So, it's an interesting problem.

Mechanical turk already exists for this.

Yes. That'll be 5 cents please.
