I've been reluctant to do his hits because I can't figure out where we are supposed to put the logo that he wants us to copy...now, this may sound stupid, I know, but perhaps it is just in his practice one where he doesn't require that. He seems like a good TO though, and I am a fast, accurate typist, so these could be fun. Thanks for the info!
I generally find that the freaky well paying HITs for non-US workers often drop late in the evening US time. Here in UK, that usually means 1AM onwards. I'll occasionally check mturk either side of midnight (I used to work late evenings and my sleep pattern is a bit messed up - that's another story). If there's anything good, I'll sacrifice a couple of hours sleep and blast through a hundred-or-so HITs. Nothing spectacular, but $6-$8 an hour definitely possible; more if you are very lucky. Unfortunately they don't last long, normally gone by the time I wake up next day, but $100 isn't impossible if you have the time to knuckle down. So, generally it's just a case of right place, right time, and having free time. How often you'll have the opportunity depends on how often you're able to check mTurk and whether you're able to spontaneously allocate many hours to the task. If you're only checking for a couple of hours a day and have other chores to do, your chances are slimmed down.
True! Annoying when you check Mturk all day and nothing.. then it gets to 1.00am and the good hit comes and its either turk or sleep happens every time!!
Finally, for the record i reached and crossed the 100$ mark in a day.Ended with 113$ in a day on Nov 26th Nov 26, 2012 667 264 0 403 $93.20 still 400 to be approved. Got a gud bonus which leads to cross 100$ mark. Thanks to my both the requesters.
Hi, At last you have achieved. Congrats again!!! You had broke the rule that non-us turkers cant make up the money. You have proved it is dedication, hard work and especially time-effort. it is really inspiring and motivating. Keep on going riyazalikhan
gr8. Now I am finding it hard to get least 10 dollars from mturk. So urs is a truely best among Indians.
Thanks Banu, earlier i am inspired from Sudesh(Kerala) figures which let me into deep research of mturk. This time to reach 100$ time took is very less as i got bonus of 80$ for continuous 8 hours work contract. remaining amount from the medcrowd hits which still has to be approved.
Thanks prakash, earlier i was on the same lane, but tracking gud requesters hits up to date , making good communication with requesters, doing mainly batch hits, etc.. all leads to a earner turker of some enough amount per day. But still only backlog to every indian turker is MASTER award to be acheived. These days max hits are reserved to MASTERS. If we(non US) has that grapevine(MASTER) qualification then everyone can earn handful amount to their needs.
Riyaz who is ur fav requestor ?? Medcrowd ? Or any others ??? And also please tell me how to get medcrowd quals ???
There are many, Medcrowd is really a gud one among them. 2day or 2moro may he will put some few batch hits for qualification to do huge batch hits, there has some tech issue in uploading his hits in mturk once sort out may he put qualification. Follow the medcrowd thread for latest updates http://mturkforum.com/showthread.php?4324-MedCrowd/page14&highlight=medcrowd
You have to be kidding. A hundred a day, but not a hundred an hour. Those hits are unavailable during the day, during the weekends I can find only a couple of those hits. Once I sat in front of my computer all day till 3am, I've done two hundred hits. You need at least 1.50 - 2 minutes to complete all the fields. Sometimes 8 minutes, because the image is blurry and I have to google to find the address, the email.
the cards you can't read you just write "Illegible" and submit, don't spend time on the cards that can't be read easily. Before I got to my first 1000 I knocked out a couple hundred of those cards in two hours, made a whopping $4 for my efforts. Now that I qualify for the higher paying hits, I don't touch them.
