It's one of those sites where you can get paid to do what YOU want! There are so many different opportunities that it really gives me hope for my future career goals as I am currently working toward becoming an editor (which they offer). The pay isn't very good, but if your looking at this site just because its new or interesting than there will be others out here who have more money then sense!! If i were younger and needed extra income right now id use trendy minds rather quickly - although nothing major has come up yet-I'm only 18 months into college with no job prospects lined up after graduation :) Hoping things work themselves through though since other people seem contented by their jobs there too =) As far as benefits go all pretty much depend upon how long someone works/does tasks etc.. But yes trendingminds does give some.
