Can't find good HITs? 11/12

noooooooooo!! To take this test, please make sure your age is 25

this happened twice today!! that would have been a fast 50 cents

 

Yes, that is exactly how it should be. I did very well with that job, really sucks to lose one of the best jobs to the masters qualification... smh... i hope they do consider changing it

 

"Hello,
I noticed that you posted your new set of HITs and require the qualification of "Masters." Could I ask why you did this? If it's in order to improve the accuracy of the HITs I understand that but I hope that you know that the "Masters" qualification is RANDOMLY assigned to workers and shows no sign of how good or bad of a worker they actually are. If you would like a suggestion, may I suggest that you require an accuracy of 99% and a HIT minimum of 5,000 or 10,000. Please respond as I would like to continue working on your HITs in the future.

Thanks,
Riley H."

Now I will wait on a response

 

10,000 with 99% is very easy to achieve.. all they have to do is load up on hits like prospect smarter, oscar, and andy k hits.. however i do feel this kind of qual is much better than leaving it completely open like they did previously. The n/a option should stay because it is needed and people may not want their return hit number to skyrcket.. but they could fix their options so when you get one where you fill out a form you can put that link in, so at least they have something to go off of.

 

email hits suck, what is so great about these ? Was there a way to find it easily ?

 

I wrote about the same thing. Here's hoping that we get a response at least.

 

perfect e-mail!! to the point, polite, yet very accurate in the explanation.. on behalf of all of us thank you for sending this i plan to send one as well, hoping he gets the point lol

 

yes.. you can find them in under 10 seconds when done properly.. there is a thread giving the tips

 

It was incredibly quick for me. I just split-screened the HIT and google and typed in the domain and the person's name. 9/10 I was getting the e-mail address in the google result and not even having to click through.

 

I need to get working towards 5,000 at least, just in case

 

All you had to do was go to the provided website and look for the teachers directory. If you couldn't find it there, a quick google search would usually be enough. Many of them only took about 40 seconds. Sometimes I would spend a few minutes but I didn't care because so many of them were easy to find. These email hits most definitely did not suck! This is a huge blow for those of us who don't have the masters qualification. If it keeps going this way a lot of people are going to lose out on a lot of money.

 

yes, they're actually really easy to do, and fast enough to be profitable despite low pay-per-hit...

 

i meant the 10k part. my rate is 99%. bless anyone who does 10k oscar . the return rate rarely matters. i have come across like 1 hit who cared about it. preferably masters would go away without taking away the n/a option, but if i had to chose, taking away n/a>requiring masters.

 

oh really - - - lurks . . .

I am working on something else right now, but was wondering why the clamor over them, they don't appear that great on the surface. Wish I had dual screens right now.
Thanks for the info.


BTW because of changes in coding, masters qual is automaticly assigned to hits. If the requester does not know where to look, they will never be able to change it.

 

$25 ecig is back up, sasquatch

 

oh f$@#$@ just grabbed the $25 ecig article
guess i should just do these 4 articles the rest of the night and ignore the other hits...

but it's so hard...

 

haha... one quick question, since you seemed to do them pretty quickly, was your main strategy just leaving the structure intact and rewording each sentence/paragraph? or did you play with the whole article?

 

Personally, I think if they just limited it to US workers with +1000 and +98% that would be more than sufficient to take care of most problems for them, while at the same time not excluding alot of good turkers.

 

You should show him this link when you are writing the mail for TIM:
