    Eek. I avoided her because she had iffy TO. That sucks, you guys.

    On the happy side, Colin Holbrook and Sophie Chaxel from today's posts here already paid me!

    I did it, with a note at the end explaining some of my responses. Will update.

    Idea Lab LA has a survey up about magazines. About 12 minutes for $1

    He messaged me and paid me the 80 cents as well, I updated my TO rating, however I won't be doing any more hits for him in the future.

    The video for the sound system test is not appearing for me. Is anyone else having that same problem?

    If you transcribe at speeds of 4x audio length or faster, you can do .10 per working minute with some of SpeechInk's "Transcribe a Business Presentation" audios right now. They've got a bunch up, some of which are paying a flat .40/audio minute (no bonuses, as far as I can tell; none of these I've done in the past even get officially graded, just approved with a "thanks").

    So if your work's good enough to get your transcript accepted, take a look! Note: All their audios by that HIT title are 3 and a half min, but only the ones that pay $1.42 (or more, if they're offering) work out to the figures I mentioned. Not bad audio on some of those, either.

    Behavioral Lab
    Decisions and Attitudes
    5-10 min, 80 cents.
    Sorry cant figure out how to get a link.

    Edit: Took 3 minutes, waiting on approval. I have had good experiences with Behavioral Lab and they are good on TO.

    I did. I'll update if I hear anything back. I'm not holding my breath.

    So much for my 100% approval rating, almost halfway to 1K HITs. Boo.

    Honestly, I really appreciate this thread and I have tried to contribute some of the hits I find, but I'm nowhere near $25 for any day that I've been on Mturk. I just passed the 6000 mark today so I'm not a total beginner. The most I've made in any day has been $16. Today was pretty good, but I've only done $7.23 so far. I'm trying hard, but I'd really love to know how you guys do it......

    I did his too. I am hoping that he pays. That bad repsonse to him was just made now from someone having issues entering the code. The survey went through for me.

    GAR. Can't do that one, since they want a HIT approval rate greater than 99, and 99.8 rounds down to 99, so it doesn't count. Nevermind that I was 100 until 10 minutes ago.

    I just tried it again in Internet Explorer (definitely not my browser of choice), and it worked. Apparently it does not like Chrome!

    These surveys are nice for some, but are there any good bulk HITs up at the moment?

    I've done a few short Redwood transcriptions which about 3,000 of are up.

    :)
