I suppose this is a proper introduction.

    This is me saying hi again. This time it's a bit more proper. I'm legit more curious more about the rest of you, though.

    If you want to know anything - ask.

    I will start. What do you do when you're not on Mturk?

    I guide on ChaCha and kind of want that to be it, but as of now it isn't, so I might pick up a morning/take kid to school care gig for a lady in town.

    Hi again.

    I do tellwut and also Leapforce.

    Leapforce is my main income, but it still lacks all I need/want. Ok, so I'm a little greedy, haha :) As far as tellwut, I really like it because it is not a referral site, I hate those. All my earnings from tellwut go straight to Wal-Mart...I live in a very small town and that is all we have. Not that I'm dogging the store or anything, I would just very much like to have more than one store to choose from.

    Welcome jtech9,

    I write and transcribe for anyone who will pay me, lol. I have a blog, but there's nothing on it yet. I hope that will become a source of income for me by the end of the year.

    Happy turking!

    Welcome! I am new to the forum as well but not to turking.

    I have tried almost everything: ChaCha, KGB, Leapforce, PTC sites and various other microtask sites...turking is the life for me. :D Until I begin my career outside the home that is.

    I do medical transcription for a lady out of New Jersey who pays me pretty well and usually keeps me really busy, but when she is on vacation, like she is for the next week and a half, the workload decreases a bit and I supplement with transcription on Mturk. Between her and mturk, I have managed to support my family of 3 for the last month while my husband has been out of work.

    Other than that, I've been on Mturk since 2007 and most of the time has been spent working for two or three really steady requesters and have managed to keep a steady income coming in. I live in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas and there is no work here. Nice to meet you :)

    I did do ChaCha and KGB and really didn't get in the groove with either one and it took SO much work to make just a little bit of money and it just wasn't worth it for me.
