    Why not try something in your country instead of all this hassle? You earn but you can't withdraw. You buy on amazon but they don't offer shipping. You buy something, they charge you twice for shipping.

    Believe me, i've looked, but mturk seems to be the best option, even with all the hassle.. no other site I found , specially not romanian ones has so many clients looking for workers.. and if you're talking about a real job, I am looking

    Psht, I'll be your girlfriend then!!!! KIDDING OF COURSE!!! :p

    The unemployment rate in my town is over 18%, so there is NO WAY to find a job here right now. I have two WAH jobs in addition to this one. Usually my WAH jobs pay for my college: books, bus passes, clothes, etc. but my grandma invited me on a cruise, so all of this money is going into my pocket for myself(for once!!) for souvenirs. This is the first time I've used the money I've earned on something I want, not something I need, so I'm working extra hard!

    Full time job for me but it's cool. I make about $200 a week and my living expenses are only about $500 so it's a pretty sweet deal actually. Plus I don't have to get dressed up, spend money on gas for my car or put up with the shenanigans other people face in a traditional work environment. :)

    If ya don't mind, I have a question for those who are using Mturk as full time job or major source of income.
    The more I work on MTurk the smaller the amount of jobs I can do it seems. I was working for "Adult Image Review" and I was very happy with their pay and work, but they are barely around anymore. I then went to CrowdSource and began doing their Google Search jobs, but after 299 jobs, they keep telling me no more work is available for me. I have done about 1400 jobs and have only had 10 rejections (99.3+ approval rating).

    How are you guys doing it?

    Just testing MTurk out at the moment and seeing if any worthwhile money can actually be made.. I was sceptical but i've already made $40 in 5 days and thats as a new turker (limited to 100 hits per day until day 10 booooo :/) So i'm gonna keep going for a few weeks and see what I can do after they let me do more hits. Reading posts from people like Shego gives me hope for it :)

    So yeah i'm turking purely to see what money is in it, and I have too much free time on my hands haha.

    I actually turk for my passion to earn through online money making sites. When I was in search for genuine money making sites... once I found Mturk.com.. But at first I was skeptical...and now I now all changed now .. I withdrawn 3 cheques and earning more...with the real estate research... also I could have some pocket money...Nowadays I will try some new requesters to identify them as good or bad requesters...And will report that to TO and also in this forum... :)

    I mTurk to pay off the last of my credit card debt. (I've already cut up the cards.) With mTurk i should be done by the end of this year; otherwise I wouldn't get rid of all of it until the end of next year.

    I have done some, but I fear that I might accidentally do the same survey twice.
    Searching for surveys causes the pay/hour to become too low to be worthwhile.

    Interesting mix of people we have. I hope you are debt free asap.

    This is quite true. But can't help it.

    No specific Requester
    those are the terms I use when searching for HITs
    I try to stick with .edu requesters
    They are honest and many times pay bonuses along with private follow up surveys

    I did all those surveys as well. I did $14 worth yesterday by starting at the $1.00 hits and working my way down. Being careful not to do the 30 cent 1 hour surveys or any of those ones lol. My problem is Im running out of surveys to do it seems. At this rate I will have done them all and then only be able to do a few each day when they get added. Im not sure on average how many get added each day though.
    I am turking for money to spend on general on things mainly.To have gas money is one thing. I bought a oil painting kit on Amazon so far.
