Can't Find Great HITs? 4/27 SuperDuper Saturday Edition!

Aaron is the man!

 

Back from my vacation, time to start turking so I can do the same trip next year but bring my daughter along.

2 weeks in Costa Rica...such a pretty place. Airfare was around 700, room was 42 and means were around 35/day, including the vast quantities of Pilsen I drank. I cannot call the last time I felt so relaxed. Still am, hoping it stays with me for a while.

Now let's make some $$!

 

Time to get that grind going again!

 

Math and a short timer. Be forewarned.

 

~3min

Yeah, it is. Having a hard time getting motivated. I drew my amazon account down to about zero before I left, sitting there now with 7.42 in it. I'd love a day of gogos or the food pictures that were hitting weekly for a while. I might do some transcriptions but those are hard to do at my day job. Surveys will have to work for a while.

 

There was a guy with no TO that put up a hit for .25 last night with instructions to describe the image. I did it and was rejected within two minutes. Five minutes later, he put the hit up again but this time the hit said to list keywords for the picture. Needless to say, I never heard back from him.

 

There was a day a requester David Mease came along. I think people on average was making 10/15$ hour for some yes or no questions. That was a pretty killer day. Might be worth setting up an alert for

 

wow, sounds amazing, room was 42/day? that is really cheap.

 

This is a repost - says they will reject retakers so check your records.

 

My vacation ends tomorrow, :-(, time to back to my day job. I guess I should be grateful I have one. Vacations go by way to fast.

 

Yeah. No AC, a long walk to stores but it was quiet. No internet, so if I wanted to email home I had to walk 4 dusty miles. I have a bad habit of checking work emails when I'm away, so this was a rough one to deal with. But I made it. Haven't touched work emails before/after normal hours since. Even turned my phone off when I'm at home.

 

who was the requester?

 

Nature Researcher

 

Easy batch. We'll see how many they let me do...
They let me do 10.

Don't appear to have done it. Wow, there seems to be a lot more random rejections on surveys lately.

 

no clue if I am doing these right. Are we suppose to just determine whether the phrase in bold in an event, or if the phrase in bold is describing an event?

 

Two batches and I don't know how good they are:

The receipt one doesn't look too bad if you're a fast typist.

 

Whenever I click a bubble then change my mind to the other bubble, both of them get checked. Anyone else have this issue?

 

I did, but it wouldn't let me submit it. I got an error when I submitted, then had to redo another one before it would submit. Not sure if that is coincidence or not.
