Do you log into Mturk whenever you have spare time or do you find it helpful to set aside time and work on hits? I find myself logging on when I have spare time, and sometimes I feel lucky to find "good" hits. Other times, I feel like I need to just set up a time. What works for you?
I usually just do it when I have spare time. For me the best hits usually show up during the afternoon.
I'm a graduate student and run calculations which take about ten minutes apiece to complete ... i turk when i'm waiting for these calculations to finish
I generally log into mTurk whenever I have free time. Sometimes when I sit down and log in, I loose all track of time! It is fun to kind of take a break from everything and sit down to earn money!
Since I work during the day (9-5) I usually do some turking when I am not doing other side jobs audits or mystery shopping. It is a great way to make money for pizza or other luxury items. However, as mentioned above it is not great to quit your job over though
I log on when ever I have a spare moment and turk away while listening to the radio. Not sure it is the most productive time I have ever spent, but since hitting double figures I feel the need to keep working until I have a worthwhile amount.
