    Back in 2015, ocmp66 gave me a qual. It was good for 8 $100 days, including 3 in a row.

    Haven't been anywhere near a hundred bucks since. Don't see how $100 is possible without a miracle batch or a good qual. And those quals seem to be nearly impossible to come by.

    I do know what you mean. A looooong time ago I had several $100+ days in one week. That was back when Alegion posted good hits. But then I lost the urge to work that hard and haven't done it in over a year. I do love seeing your earnings report though.

    I have made money every single day since I joined mturk.

    That includes an awful lot of $0.01 days. :D

    Edit: so I *do* have a streak. 662 consecutive days with at least a penny!

    Crazy stat: the last time I made less than $50 in a day was in 2014. Can't remember the exact day...probably the summer of 2014.

    So that's about 2.5 years...so almost 900 days in a row with at least $50 (no joke!)

    Wish I had the screen shots to prove it.

    LOL. But don't quote me on that. Not 100 percent sure. Looking through my 2014 weekly reports. Seems the last time I made less than $500 in a week was:

    Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

    The following is a summary of activity for your Mechanical Turk account for the week ending Jun 28, 2014.

    Your HIT activity for this week:
    - Number of HITs submitted: 13,258

    Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
    - Number of HITs approved: 13,000
    - Number of HITs rejected: 0
    - HIT reward earned: $430.33
    - Total Amount earned this week: $430.33

    And I almost certainly had a day or two with less than 50.

    Two weeks earlier, I had a week with $419 (week ending June 14th 2014). Bet it happened there too.

    I'd work non stop if there was work that available for me, and it didn't pay $3.00 an hour.

    $3.20, because I spent more time looking at used cars today and making phone calls. It's like a part-time job, except that instead of getting paid, you get further into debt.

    You should start tutoring your fellow workers ;-)

    1. Get quals.
    2. Get masters.
    3. Get quals that only masters can get.
    4. Work 20 hours a day.

    How'd I do?

    OK, there's more to it than that. I'd make a lot more if I could jump on random batches and just do them. My brain likes safe and familiar though. By the time I am semi-confident with an unknown batch, they're gone.

    There's no point in tutoring. We can't make bank like that without masters and at least a few useful closed quals. Sigh.

    Damn. Was about to run out and get some food. Made it to the door before noticing it is snowing.

    I should check a weather forecast occasionally. That and look outside.

    Yeah my earnings would go down if Hotel Photos or OCMP5 closed qual projects were ended.

    My 1k a week won't last. That's turk for you.
