    The problem is hit monitor is offline only if I remember correctly. requesters are able to set stuff to be hidden unless people are qualed now so if you are scraping offline it won't see it.

    Overwatch is similar to HM but runs on worker and uses worker's PREs.

    It takes time. I hope nobody is discouraged by everyone waving their numbers around. It takes time to learn what workflow works best for you, gather quals, build a requester list, learn schedules and timing, learn your personal strengths and weaknesses, etc. I joined the previous forum and I was only making $10-$20 a day, now it's one of three jobs but absolutely my main source of income. Even still I have $5 days, or $100 days. It ebbs and flows. Don't get discouraged, just keep tweaking your workflow until it works for you. :)

    Agreed. It's not Masters. And I wouldn't always say the $100+ days are easy either, it might seem that way at times is all. But the days I first hit $100 were way, way before Masters was a possibility. It's much more about finding the right requesters. If you don't have that or closed quals, then using the various tools scripts and extensions will help a lot. If you are relying on just what someone is posting here, it's unlikely you'll hit $100/day.

    @Sam

    Oh and Amazon Requester Inc. - Customer Interests and Pinterest are two that seem to be around a decent amount

    Also C-SATS, Inc but they are underpaid if you put 100% focus on them. It is only worth it if you have it open a second monitor while you do other stuff imho.

    The entire Game will take anywhere from 2 minutes to 20 minutes, and your total earning will range anywhere from at least 30c to more than $10.

    ... I got the 0.30 because nobody showed up lol Waste of time.

    PANDA question since they're kind of on topic right now...I'm currently (and always have been) using Turkmaster for my PANDAs, because I honestly find PANDA Crazy kind of clunky and confusing. I mean, I'm confident that I can figure it out if I gave it more effort, but Turkmaster just seemed way more clean and intuitive. Is Turkmaster okay to use or would I have better luck with PANDA Crazy or something else?

    I feel like I'm probably not doing things most effectively because I pretty much just have a huge list of surveys I missed for the week that I clear out on Mondays, and never know what to throw on there for batches unless it's something I've worked on recently...Ben Peterson's are really all I have constantly running for batches.

    Also people have $100 days by putting the work in. I see $20-30 I could make right now just looking at the scraper. Diligence and ternacity.

    See humble if you want to see someone with a good work ethic.

    See me if you want to see someone who just optimizes his workflow and goes :cj: while watching anime or w/e

    Seriously I have the worst work ethic but I have been able to strip away all the extra work and now I can just chill and do dank batches for 10min when they drop and go back to chilling.

    PandaCrazy is more efficient in terms of page requests.

    Turkmaster will run each job with a separate timer. Those timers can proc at the same time and cause a page request error, which stops you from doing anything for a few seconds.

    PC runs one job each cycle of its timer. That allows you to run a shorter timer and get closer to getting the maximum possible requests to mturk in a given amount of time, giving you a better chance at catching things. You don't want to run too many at one time however, since the more you have running the more spread out the searches for any individual hit will be.

    There's a very helpful website for PandaCrazy here: http://pandacrazy.allbyjohn.com/
