    Tbh I think it is more along the lines that nobody cared enough to double check.

    Nathan said they were female, but I remember reading somewhere a couple days ago that it sold again? I could be wrong, though.

    That's what I thought. I read the thread a few hours after everything was said and done and wasn't sure.

    Ok, I've been trying a while and I just can't do a good job at this, how are you guys making $50 or more a day? I can work for hours and I am lucky to reach more than $10.

    I don't normally hit $50 a day but good batches are the key. Are you using any scripts like Panda Crazy or Overwatch? If not try them out. Hitnotifier.com is a great website to catch stuff as it gets posted (although it's frequently down in the mornings).

    Stick around for a while. There are at least $20 of surveys up each day. Hours for $10 means you're working hard but not smart. Do you use scripts? What sort of HITs are you doing?

    I tend to do higher paying surveys and batches when I can, I avoid doing penny hits even though I know they boost my hit numbers cause I just can't deal with the boredom and make that little money.

    Hmm. The pay is important, but not as important as the hourly pay. As in, how long does it take and what does it pay. A $5 survey that takes you two hours is as useless as a 20 cent HIT that takes you 5 minutes and a penny hit that takes you 2. But also if your numbers are low, you won't have access to the same stuff as everyone else.

    Then again if you boredom is something you can't suffer, turking might not be for you lol. I spent a good amount of yesterday describing the same 7 fruits over and over in 5 sentence paragraphs.

    Yea, turking is nothing if not often mindless and repetitive. You also have to keep in mind some of the folks hitting big numbers do this all day. How many hours are you spending to hit $10? Those boosted numbers aren't so bad to get. When I came back earlier this month I only had like 250, and from what I've learned around here I'm more than half way to 5000.

    In my experience I can get through most surveys in less than 10 mins, and I only do those if they pay more than a dollar. I can get most dollar surveys done in less than 8 mins, not a huge amount of money, although I think the main reason I make so little is the time I spend in between doing hits searching for something to do, as so many surveys I can't qualify for or am screened out.

    Only 2 hour survey I've ever done payed $50, it was hell but I was glad to make that much from it. And I am ok with the boredom as long as I am making minimum wage, it's doing boring batches that end up making me less than $6 an hour that I can't stand.

    What you're saying doesn't quite add up to working hours and not being able to make more than $10. Was that an exaggeration? It sounds like you have the basics down, you just need to be more efficient with your time. Most surveys don't even have screeners, so if you're using HitScraper or Turkmaster, you should have a lot of options. Definitely more than $10 worth.

    I used to spend a lot of time looking for HITs as well. Then I got better at scripts and more familiar with mturk overall (the same things are constantly posted, the new things pop up on my scripts) and it's all muscle memory from there.

    Be sure to also look at the projected earnings people post. If you go to the search function and just type in 'projected earnings' you can scroll through who made what (if they share) and how they made it. I posted one just yesterday that detailed which HITs I did to get to 58 yesterday afternoon.

    You'll get there if ya want to.
