Can't find good HITs? 11/14

haha ogawd this one...

 

I don't know if this means anything, but I've noticed that my money transfers faster to my prepaid debit card than to my regular bank account. I use Capital City.

 

These MC HITs are easier than usual tonight. It makes me feel good to actually find all the information they are looking for.

 

I am taking this now, so I will update on time afterwards, but it says it'll take about 5 mins.

Answer an survey about web browsing
Requester: yyl

EDIT: Took about 9 mins. so their time estimate was a little off.

 

Does anyone's eyes ever BURN from sitting on the computer too long, taking surveys? My eyes have been burning all day, I keep having to take a break from the computer.. Just wanted to know if this happens to anyone else..

screw it, tim edwards is too annoying. time for dat med crowd...

 

Crowdsource just opened up a whole bunch of new ones for me, .08-.14, just as quick as Oscar Smith IMO

 

This one has a Bad TO.

 

I decided to try a few medcrowds. i'd never done them. tried a few and i think i got soft blocked

 

There are two kinds. One is the qual batch and one is the main batch. The qual batch will cut you off after a while. Wait for the qualification to be granted.

 

It used to, but I've been using a program called F.lux for several years now. It adjusts the hue of your monitor during the evening and night so your eyes can relax a bit. You might think it's way too noticeable, but leave it on and just go with it. It won't take you long to not realize it's even working.

There is also an option to adjust the time it takes to change over a shorter or longer period of time.

You can only do a certain amount of the qual batch, and then if you do well, you will get the qual for the main batch

 

I said the exact same thing! I really enjoy Tim Edwards HITs but I feel kind of nervous doing them now

 

Hey all!

Be sure to check out FRB's new blog post! It's on the Master's Qualification. As usual it is excellent!

Mainly about length of survey vs pay:

Which is accurate. Their 5 minute survey took me 8 minutes and was pretty annoying in one part.

 

i got the qual, then almost immediately after i got a message saying "Oops... It seems that our records suggest you are not allowed to work on this HIT. Please choose the other available campaign and Happy Turking! You can find our main campaign at mturk.com (click to open)"

i hope it wasn't a soft block.

i don't think i did well since it was lower than the main batch's qual. do i get a second chance? was i supposed to format the hours? i copied and pasted like the directions said

 

F.lux is so legit it's not even funny.

 

you might have gotten the qual if you did 10 correctly. check if you can do the bigger batch now...

 

Thank you, I'm going to look up that website now.. It's such a terrible feeling, I keep putting eye drops in but after 10 minutes or so the burning starts again.. You'd think the easy solution would be to just stay off the computer, haha.
