    90 percent of the work I do on M-Turk is writing hits. I am looking to make a move into some of the easier hits, but I am certainly afraid of a mass-rejection and watching my approval rate go from 99 percent to 92, you know what I mean?

    The writing hits are taking a beating due to Google updates every half an hour and other bull-crap. The $100 days are few and far between for me now, so I need to go all-in on a half-way decent requester. Problem is , who is the hell can be trusted.

    Oh i know exactly what you mean.. I took a cpl chances this week on a few new requestors and learned the hard way how cruel mturk can be.. Diped from a 99.4 down to a 90.0% ugh not BAD but bad enuff its gonna take a mountain to get me back up there again.

    So yeah im wary of doing any mass hits for a little while of any worker i dont know 100%

    Its a gamble gotta play to win.. :D

    I dont use Turkopticon Mayhem, I generally test requestors out by knocking out a couple of hits and looking to see what happens. I have built up enough credibility with the majority of good requestors that I dont need to look at some subjective statistics.

    I have high credibility but I don't like to take chances with it so I usually give a glance at Turkopticon to see what's been said before. I can't imagine not using it since it's there and only takes a second to pop up. I do the larger, more time consuming HITs so maybe it's different for me.

    Yes and i use it.. However it dosent cover new users to mturk who posts 3000+ hits @ a decent pay.. its eather Take a chance and get paid or watch the hits dissapear as everyone else takes the chance you passed up.

    Like i said its a gamble.

    Day 2: $5.80 with 1 still pending and 87 approved outta 86

    Day 3: $4.37 with 20 still pending and 74 approved outta 94

    Today Seems like im in a funk lol i'll probably end up with about $3 or $4

    playa_hamm420 whats good? you got any tips on what hit's i should take! i'm trying to get like you after that start letting me do more than a hundred or so a day

    O've mainly been doing crowd source but they tell me there outta hits pretty quick and there messing up my return rating because it's showing them as available but when i click accept hit it says there arent any hits available so i have to return them. i tried transscribing hated it to much time for too little pay.

    @South... Mane Readabl hits are good.. Oscarsmith.. Crowdsource/Flower are good.. Pretty much any hit you can get is good lol..

    Today i worked a bunch for readabl since my rating took a dip of -.01% went from a 99.0 to a 98.9 Trying to do some damn Imagenet AMT hits. Those Bounding Boxes ones.. the 1-3 cent ones all got approved all the hits labled EASY were golden.. I ventured into the 5 cent hits minus the words EASY and got 22 rejections.. FUCK! so that hurt.

    Also did some weird hits for npl something strange hits Describe the picture.. Count the people.. Find the text.. Quick as hell 4 cents each banged out about a 150 of those.

    Did a bunch of surveys and 2 surveys i was invited to for 5$ and 5.50.. took about an hour total to do those 2. Score!.

    so that was my day.. Today's Projected Earnings $20.51

    Spent alot of time searching for hits just going thru page after page. Tried looking at hits ive passed up before thinking i couldnt do them and then tried 1 or 2.

    somedays suck man thats all there is to it.. some weeks suck last week i took 4 days off in a row cause the hits were just so bad.

    playa, I like knowing you don't do just transcription or writing hits (or any of those at all) to get your dailies. You work on sheer volume. I'm guessing that some of those volume hits will open up to me after I've got 1k hits approved. I Like the fast and easy hits. I am going to check out some of the writing hits this week though.

    I've tried transcription. Not fun.
    I've done surveys. Mind-numbing.
    Writing - skeered of being told I suck.
    productrnr (yes I know their rep is terrible) but there's a hit 'does this name/image match below' for a penny. I Love Those Hits.

    Today's Projected Earnings $14.29

    @Whimsy Thanks :D

    Im horrible at writing so i just dont bother with those hits..Transcriptions included.

    Volume hits are fun when you can a ton in a short time.. Other days i do volume hits just to increase my acceptance rating.. Today i did around 470 hits so far still early so i'll prolly bang out a cpl hundred more. Havnt been home much of the day so this is all been done in the last few hours.

    Did a few surveys today nothing to spectacular.. Checked out a new requestor offering hits where you have to check the % of houses underwater in that particular zipcode did a few 100 of those till i got tired of that.

    so thats been my day so far :D

    @Playa did the npl hits all pay out for u? I did like 300 from the ones posted up last night but they only had like 2 reviews on TO so i wasn't sure about em.. Too quick and easy to turn down tho.

    Made $21 yesterday which is my first decent day after a full week of 0.00s (met a new girl kinda messed up my turking ;D) Gotta get back to it today..

    Show all details for the HIT or read the qualifications from the hit screen.

    Most of the big paying surveys require a qualification of either taking part in a previous survey successfully or taking a qualifier hit.
