    What is the minimum amount one want for accepting a hit in MTURK. For me it is 5 cent for 1 Minute. Some hits in mturk requires lot of work n it takes around 5 min and still it gives only 5 cents. What is the minimum for other turkers.

    I take what I can get. If you want to count earnings by the hour, get a job at McDonald's.

    All I do are HITs from CastingWords, and today it was running something like 90 to 97 cents per job, 10 minutes worth of work. So like 9-9.7 cents per minute give or take, with varying length of audio and pay.

    What's that work out to, about $5.40 to $5.82 per hour?

    I'd work for less, and sometimes do with CastingWords. My average for the year is less than 9c/minute.

    The poll is useful to measure the rate of acceptance of a hit. No one accept a hit which last 5 minute and pays 1 cents. Every worker in Mturk platform has their own preference in accepting a hit. This forum is useful in knowing each other's habits and preference. So McDonald is not the best option for an average guy. Those working in McDonald may find it hard to arrange spare time so that they can also work in Mturk. If u r satisfied with 1 cent in 1 minute, so be it. Deciding the hit accepting factor is the person's own freedom. The aim of this forum is information dissemination.

    Majority is still with 10 cents / minute. It is possible with some good requesters.

    I don't figure in how long a hit takes me. I mostly accept hits that I enjoy doing regardless of what they pay or how long it takes me to do. If a hit only takes a minute and pays .01 and I'm enjoying the hit, I'm not complaining.

    Agree'd. It slows you down too much keeping up with this. When you first start turking it's normal. But now I try and work and ignore numbers. I start adding numbers when my pending earnings is around $200.


    edit* And you can't really specify what the lowest payed hits you will do, because sometimes a huge huge batch of penny hits pop up, and sometimes people rather sacrifice pay to get their numbers up, to open up better jobs in the future.

    I do the video transcription because it gives me a higher number to work towards. I'd rather take time to get $50 then spend all day earning .01 at a time. It's a mind thing I guess

    My minimum is usually at least $0.20 a minute. When there aren't any good paying batches up, I use the time to work on something else(besides Turk).

    This is what you call piece work you get paid by the piece, not by the hour. If I can find a very easy simple hit that takes less than a few seconds and there are those that are super easy that pay 0.01 they are good for getting your numbers up. I average with all different ranges of HITs about 20-40 a day every day of the week. I am currently at 907.00 for the last 45 days. I plan on being at over a 1000 for the next 45 days by the end of the week. It all adds up in the end. It is a personal choice to one!

    Sometime v Turk just for th numbers. To make up the accuracy rate. For a non master, there is not much to choose from. I know lot of turkers who just go with particular requesters only. Irrespective of time and amount, they just stick with them
