    Hi Everyone

    New here, so I will give you a bit about myself (and maybe someone can answer a question I have)

    I live in Texas, I am married and we have 2 fur kids (2 cats, Smokie & Bandit) So adorable!

    I am currently turking in order to save up for our vacation at the end of June to see our friend in Indiana (and also a honeymoon- we got married in September and never got one!) I also am a requester, I run a full time ministry- and we occasionally put out surveys.

    I'm excited to be here!

    My question is this: About 2 weeks ago I came across a post on here that gave a link to a website that had continually updating good paying hits. It was like a live feed or stream- But I can't seem to locate it now. Anyone know what I am talking about? I think it was all user-submitted content.

    Since Mar 4:
    Approved HITs $416.46
    Bonuses $31.69
    Total Earnings $448.15

    Well on my way to saving for that vacation!!


    HITs Submitted 2085 —
    ... Approved 1925 96.1%
    ... Rejected 78 3.9%

    ^ Are those numbers good??

    Hey there,

    I believe you are referring to turkalert.com

    Your numbers seem pretty good to me, I have 3 times the number of HITs submitted and not even close to that amount of money earned, I would be a little more careful with the rejections though, if you'll drop under 95% you'll be disqualified from working on a lot of jobs.

    That's the one!! Thanks!!

    Yea, the rejection has been unfortunate. But I figure as long as I can keep above the 95% approval, I'm good :)
