I can only imagine what it will take for me to reach my goal of 5,000 approved hits with days like this. SMH.
The weekdays should be better. Weekends aren't always busy. I usually make like $5-10 bucks and say screw it and go clean the house.

There's about 4,000 ProductRnR you can do. With the script the pay is ok if there's nothing else to do.
It gets easier. I'm still in my first six weeks, and I'm at 3,000 hits. My numbers are higher every week. You just have to get used to the formats. Eventually you'll gain confidence. Keep searching Mturk. In the beginning I tied myself to jobs that I was sure would be approved. When I finally started to work on jobs that I felt were "risky" for me, I made more money, and somehow that gave me the courage to work on other things that I didn't feel qualified for, then I made more money. Be careful, but don't be afraid.
I remember, 5k seemed so far away when I started. Then 10k was an impossible feat, and took forever. Now, I'm at ~45k hits, 50k will happen pretty soon. It goes faster and faster.
