It's because most of the HITs I do are CastingWords, two-thirds of what I make on those are bonuses usually.
Awesome Earnings! @Mayhem This is awesome! You got that $13K+ from just 3784 Hits and having a great approval rate of 99.8%. Appreciate your hard work. and too only 6 rejections.
I didn't get my first rejection until last year, I think, and it was from a requester that did so to get their work done for free. I really hate that I have any, none of them are for something where I did bad work, all the rest are from mistakes pasting completed transcriptions and stuff.
WOW a whole lot of WOW! nice stats there. I've been turking since 2008 too but my earnings are like waaaaayyy below like 2-3% of yours. LOL I've been wanting to do those CastingWords Hits since i started turking but i am really having difficulty maybe because english is not my nature tongue ;-( because im from the Philippines.
It could be WAY more. The first two years I worked I did another job and mTurk so other people that have done mostly CastingWords for the same amount of time have made tons more. It's really good to do if you have the patience to work on longer HITs and if you can follow their style guide very well.
