    Hi everyone!

    I just joined the forums today after joining mTurk about 10 days ago. Thus far I have earned about $95, but my goal is going to be around $200 a month with the following breakdown:

    $6 a day on weekdays
    $10 a day on weekends

    That comes to $50 a week.

    I work fulltime, but I have a ton of student loan debt so I'm making higher than minimum payments each month and would like a little cushion.

    Let's work together to meet our goals! :)

    Thanks for the encouragement! I'm currently at $100.51 in less than 2 weeks and I mainly turk nights and weekends since I work about 60 hours a week at my full time job.

    P.S. It's so nice how supportive everyone on these forums are to each other.

    Good job! A lot of my turk money goes to student loans (and possibly collections but who is judging). Keep it up!

    200.00 A month is more than do able on Mturk. Believe me it can happen. Don't take this wrong either. But I don't sit on the forums to make this in a week either. I am actually working while others are posting hits. I am making money.

    I transcribe on MTurk and plan to earn $10 a day for five days a week, thus $200 a month.

    My tip is: Persistence Pays!

    Bless you.

    Great goal! I'm trying to make $10 a day, but it seems really hard to find good hits, because they are mostly low paying. :( Do you guys just sit there for hours and do it non stop?

    The key is you take as much as you can of any kind of hit you can get. You work and work and No I don't sit here hours at a time to make what I make. I haven't really even started working today yet. When I start up strong I will get a whole lot of moola.

    Today 6 2 0 4 $0.32
    May 18, 2014 75 53 0 22 $9.14
    May 17, 2014 145 131 0 14 $22.90

    So basically you just do whatever hit you can find and do it. Okay thanks, cause sometimes I look at the completion time and look at the payout and do some math and calculations and it just makes me not end up doing it because I'm afraid I won't get my time's worth. :eek:

    It is about how much you can make. Not how long it takes. If I can do a high paying hit and spend time on it that means I am boosting money not numbers up. I am about earning money. People don't understand. I can earn more doing longer hits.
