Hello everyone. I am new here. I actually found MTurk back in 2011 played around with it for a few weeks and made all of $12.11 Fast forward to 2014. Last month I started looking for work and recalled MTurk. I started working on it again and was making 3 to 5 bucks a day on those receipt transcripts. Talk about tedious work. My original plan was to make enough to supplement my grocery budget. Food prices have increased and my husband hadn't gotten a raise. But work came through for him and he has gotten enough of a raise to keep our current household budget in the green However there is no extra whatsoever! So now my goal is: Disney World Oct 2015! My daughter will be turning 16 and I want to take her to Disney for her Sweet 16 Birthday. I have 577 days and I need to make at least $5 a day for $2885.
I am new too and I find it's easier to get to that $5 threshold by doing surveys. By concentrating on surveys that pay .50 or more I can usually make 10-15 in a little over 2 hours. I find these much less tedious than the receipt transcripts. Plus, I've gotten some random rejects from those requesters so I shy away from those. Also, the Crowdsource hits pay decently. You could definitely make $5-10 a day concentrating on those and surveys. Good luck.
Made my first $100 dollars Yaaaa! I am so glad I decided to try MTurk again. Now that I have a feel for it I am actually making between $8-12 a day without stressing! I homeschool my kids so finding an outside job with hours that would work with that was proving to be extremely difficult not to mention I have not had a job since I was 20so that was a big negative on an application. Anyway I am really excited about my prospects with MTurk. I hope to actually build a good savings account for emergency funds, supplement or grocery bill and still save enough to take that vacation.
