    Hey everyone! I'm a few days old in the Turker world. I've been staying up late doing tons of research and am so excited! I'm a stay at home mom of two boys, 2 and 4, and have been looking for something like this for awhile. I'm currently running and loving the MTurk Suite and learning how to use the Hit Catcher. I'm doing pretty good with batches but need to start trying to catch some of those nice surveys. I've been deep diving into reddit subforums, youtube how to's, and hanging out in Daily HIT threads. Its also nice to have some adult interaction during the day...even though its on the computer! But hey! No one is yelling at me for a snack or that they need to poop so I'm counting it as a win!!!

    The daily threads are definitely where it's at to help find HITs and to learn some tips and whatnot. Especially if you like gifs and goofs.

    MTS is great, but I'd also recommend checking into Panda Crazy as a possible alternative to Hit Catcher, as I find it to be a little more customizable. If you don't use Overwatch yet, you might want to look into that as well. It's basically a script that allows you to build your own giant include list that alerts you whenever a requester you've added to it posts a new HIT/batch.

    Welcome to TH :) Stay at home Dad here. Hang out in the Daily and ask questions and people will certainly help you out and get you to those milestones so you can catch some better paying stuff.

    I'm probably way too new to have any say so in welcoming you but I'll do it anyway, glad to see a new user jumping on the actual forum the same day I did :)

    No way! Thanks for the welcome! I actually found a post by a newbie asking for script help and jumped right in. It's neat to be able to contribute! See you out there!
