Where Dem HITs At? 01/15 Skittish Satisfying Suave Sunday

ha we still have to have hope. Ive just decided I can't make mturk any more painful than it already is by doing hits I loathe.

 

That was my 3,467th political survey.

 

What are ROC's?

Love this in the instructions: "You can do as many HITs as you can."

That could be interpreted to mean as many as you can before they are gone. Or as many as you can before your brain simply shuts down and refuses to do any more.

Things to do with your earnings tonight.

 

Hahaha You make me feel better.. I think that's what happened to me

 

Sorry I didn't see your reply was away..yes the link did it show you what they were? I thought you might actually like them and was going to mention it...

 

They started sending me emails like.."thanks for your amazing work" " your paragraphs are good..please keep it up" and then I read about someone saying on
turkopticon that they are getting bonuses for every hit! I email the requester as I had like 6 outta 200 and got this snarky.."yes we realize your submissions are really good but at the beginning they were unacceptable"? hello..

 

That's when I think I lost my resolve after infinitely googling obscure radishes and writing ravishing desriptions I just gave up.

 

I felt I had done like 400.00 worth of work for 86.00

 

lol

 

Oh, threw one of those back when I read "250 characters." I can write, but not necessarily that much on one topic. A real challenge

 

Yes I hear ya.

 

One of them is 250 characters about gherkins.:concern:

You've done 200? I'm impressed. I'm still figuring out roughly how many lines of print are in 250 characters.

OK, roughly 75 characters per line, so about 3.5 lines of print. Do they count spaces as characters?

 

Thanks and yes I believe so. Honestly once you start typing the length takes care of itself. The pain is going to the trouble to find out what all of these things are (even if you know you still need to look up some botanical facts) and doing their XX is different from YY..etc or "Both XX and YY are" etc

 

Annoying!! If only the paragraph were about something you know and like to write about. I sometimes prefer to do something slower paying that I enjoy more like..I know this is sad..those DATA KING hits where you fact check art auction details

 

GO FOR IT!

 

It's funny..one of the requesters emailed me to tell me he was now living in Europe..kinda cool that he sent a personal email. We've talked before. Kinda not cool that I might not get any more special projects from him though.

 

What are they?

I'll see about the ROCs tomorrow. Nothing there tonight.

You get on late. What Time Zone are you in?
