    Only $1.19 projected today... and I'm about to head to work for the next 12 hours, so that's about as high as it's going to go. Maybe when I get out of work I can push it to $2.00.

    Looks like I'm going to end up doing better than I thought this morning... Up to $5.41 now, going to spend a little more time tonight and see if I can push it to $10. Not bad for a day where I worked a 12 hour shift.

    What kind of HITs do you do that you can submit over 1300 a day? I'm thinking that must take you all day long, literally all day long - lol :)

    About $2.24. I don't understand what work some of you guys are finding.
    I have done around 2500 HITs and have a 99.3% approval rating.

    Are you from the US or somewhere else? I'm not sure exactly what is and isn't available for non-US.

    If you are in the United States though, it shouldn't be too tough to find hits to get you to at least $10/day, if not significantly more depending on how much time you have available.

    Sometimes I'll do the cheap hits ($.02-.05). When I find a large set of hits in this range, I set a timer for one minute and do as many of them as I can in that amount of time. If it comes to more than 10-15 seconds/hit, I move on and try another one. Once I find a mass of hits that I can do quickly enough, I'll sit and do as many of them as I can for as long as I can stand it. This can add up if it's a 3 cent hit and you can finish each one in 10 seconds.

    If I don't feel like doing the mass hits, I'll do surveys. I do a search for hits with a minimum value of $.50. Most days there will be a good deal of these 50cent and up surveys. The important thing is to arrange the search results by NEWEST FIRST, because these higher paying surveys are jumped on quickly. I'll usually open and accept 3 survey HITS at a time to make sure they aren't taken before I get to them, and can work through them quick enough to do all 3 within the time limit.

    I just got into the mass HIT method, and doesn't take as long as you would think if you're good about selecting the right HITs. My rule is that if it's anywhere from a penny to 5 cents per HIT, I will only do it if I find that they take me 10-15 seconds or less. Find a batch like this, and you can knock out 300-400 HITS in an hour, if not more.

    I am in the US. I tend to lean towards mass HITs like 5-16 cents a job.
    Availability of said jobs is a little low for me somehow. :(

    Have you gotten all of the qualifications that you possibly can? When I first started I looked at all the HITS that I wasn't qualified for, and for a bunch of them I requested the qualification, or took the qualification test if there was one. That alone opens up quite a few hits.

    Not sure of anyone else's experience, but for me the best HITs to focus on are the low paying ones that are very fast ($.02-$.05 cents, in 10-15 seconds) or the surveys that pay $.50+, which for me usually take about 10 minutes at most, or maybe 15 minutes if it's a $1+ survey.

    I like the simple 2-5 cent HITs because I can do them on my laptop while watching over my nephews during the summer, or listening to music which is *really* nice. I'd prefer them if I could get enough (I ran into a limit of like 100 per "batch" per week from CrowdFlower which really sucked.)

    But I just can't get enough that pay equal to what I make doing transcriptions. If I find good clear audio, I can make decent money. $16.70 on June 13th for about 2.5 hours.

    Wish I could find more to do.

    I just posted in here but then the forum appeared to have some problems and no my post is gone, oh well.

    Day 16 of my voyage into MTurk and stats so far:

    Your HIT activity for this week:
    - Number of HITs submitted: 59

    Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
    - Number of HITs approved: 63
    - Number of HITs rejected: 0
    - Bonus reward earned: $18.30
    - HIT reward earned: $105.43
    - Total Amount earned this week: $123.73

    [​IMG]

    I mostly write articles and top-up the money with a few surveys and other little oddities. I did start to do some of the mass HITs available for a few pennies, but as you can see I only did 100 of them, for a tiny amount of cash and accumulated two rejections! In fact of my four rejections, they have all been from 'ProjectRnR' which I now avoid, and in fact I avoid all of the mass HITs for pennies because I find they are just not worth the time, bother, hassle, frustration etc. I have no idea how you guys can do so many of these! I just haven't got the time.

    The bonuses are coming in nicely I think, thanks to building up some good rapport with a few regular people I now do HITs for (articles) and I've also made a fair few quid outside of MTurk also ;)

    So all in all, not a bad start to my first 16 days, I could do quite a few more HITs but sometimes I can only spend an hour or two on them which I have spare.

    I'm saving up around the $500-$600 mark for a new DSLR camera, so I am well on my way to achieving this! :D

    Hey guys....I see you are earning loads. I am from India and I feel I've got a flair for writing. But as I am new, I have got access only to a few HITs that pay not more than a dollar per HIT. I have requested for the qualifications to most of the requesters who post article writing HITs but, nothing yet. How do I get those qualifications and when? Any inputs would be of great help.

    Some good paying HITs require you to already have submitted 1000 or more HITs. Meaning, you need to be old on mturk. If you are really good in writing, consider free lancing sites.
