    I believe I'll be able to improve and make hella money now that I have the right tools. I've been fighting with an old laptop to do even the most simple tasks, but my new laptop came in the mail today. This is where I'll post how I'm doing. I will also be posting which HITs I've worked on, or at least which requesters. Some days may be incredibly boring and I only work for CastingWords, but what can I say? I like non-verbatim transcriptions.

    Current stats:
    Approved HITs $212.61
    Bonuses $34.75
    Total Earnings $247.36

    HITs Accepted 1906 —
    ... Submitted 1672 87.7%
    ... Returned 226 11.9%
    ... Abandoned 8 0.4%

    HITs Submitted 1672 —
    ... Approved 1658 99.4%
    ... Rejected 10 0.6%
    ... Pending 4 —

    Now I'm off to the scripts section since I can finally use them =)

    Your HIT activity for this week:
    - Number of HITs submitted: 90

    Approvals and payments that occurred this week:

    - Bonus reward earned: $19.67

    Not great, but good considering the RL crap that's going on and my newly piqued interest in affiliate marketing =) This week will hopefully be better. I'm just lazy, sleeping in, reading sites, registering domains, planning for kids to go back to school.

    Your Amazon Payments account has been suspended

    You will not be able to use Amazon Mechanical Turk until your Amazon Payments account is in good standing. Please contact customer service.

    Living almost off the grid for years has caught up with me. Back when I can verify who I am.

    it wasn't random. i haven't had a valid state ID or drivers license in almost 5 years.

    it was going to happen sometime.

    i didn't lie to them, they just can't verify that my address is what i say it is because it's not in a government database...like a photo ID, taxes, tags for a car, etc.

    Wow. Sorry I missed that part. That has got to be a pain. Can't you just go get a state ID? Actually don't answer that it's too personal. Anyhow, sorry to hear the bad news and I hope you can get it resolved.
