All the time, I see people post needing "numbers", trying to get to 5000 accepted hits, etc. I'm by no means an expert, as I'm still fairly new. But, I reached 5000+ in 6 weeks, so it kills me that others haven't been able to do the same. So the posts in this thread are gonna be talking about the hits I did that got my numbers up. If they look bare bones at first, please forgive me. I'll go back and fill in as much information as I can later.
Title: Transcribe the Store, Date, Total, Payment information and Address from the receipt Requester: 411Richmond [A38RXMI7DFPL8G] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.74 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.45 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.36 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.61 Promptness Number of Reviews: 119 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Identify the name of the store, date of purchase, total amount spent and the address (City and State) of the store Time: 60 minutes Reward: $0.02 Qualifications: None I've done a ton of these. They may look a bit daunting, but once you get going, they go quickly. Also, a good deal of the info is available via drop down boxes, so you're not stuck typing out the whole thing. Also, if a piece of info is genuinely missing, click the box that says so. Same if it's truly a bad pic.
Title: Verify a single value from a receipt Requester: 411Richmond [A38RXMI7DFPL8G] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.74 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.45 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.36 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.61 Promptness Number of Reviews: 119 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Verify the value of single data point (such as store, payment information, date, total etc) as displayed on the receipt Time: 30 minutes Reward: $0.01 Qualifications: None Usually the date, which gives you check boxes, or the total.
Title: Extract high-level information from a receipt >Preverify Requester: ConSec [A3T4DZJ1AKM0U3] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 1.44 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 2.83 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 3.47 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 2.84 Promptness Number of Reviews: 19 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Extract high-level information from a receipt Time: 20 minutes Reward: $0.02 Qualifications: HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 1, Total approved HITs is not less than 1 Very similar to the .02 411 hits above, except they're all from the same store. Again, once you learn where to look for the info, they go fairly quickly. Basically instant auto-approval, too.
Their TO is a little iffy, but I've never had any problems. Everything always approves, no blocks or anything. And I've done a ton. (Enough that I have Hot Wheels SKU numbers memorized, lol)
I used these guys to get my numbers up and they would post all throughout the day in small 100-200 batches. I'm not sure if they still post all day or not, as I haven't done them in a while. Title: Transcribe a Short Audio Clip (~10 seconds) Requester: Redwood [A85UAWGX7A330] (TO) Description: Please transcribe the short audio clip in the textbox below, following the listed instructions.

I have had a lot of success with the photo censoring HIT from ProBoards. Their instructions are clear and I have had zero rejections after doing 200+ jobs for them.
Regarding 411Richmond: I really like the "Extract purchase items from a receipt" hit from 411Richmond as well. Usually pays 8-10 cents with a 1-3 cent bonus. These are straight typing of the item name and the price. He doesn't ask for the UPC, the date, the store, and all that other junk that jon brelig asks for. The receipts are usually pretty easy to read as well. I think this a great hit for getting started and getting your numbers up.
Today, I finished one of the John Brelig ones. Forty-nine items upc codes, voids, and coupons!!! It's not the upc codes that get me. It's how small the receipt is. When I opened the receipt up in a new window and right-clicked the taskbar and chose: "show windows side by side", magnified it to where I could read the upc codes, it would not let me see the whole receipt. It's the same with 411, but at least you don't have to enter the upc codes when you can barely seem them. I wonder if any of them have tried to do one of their own HITs with those sometime horrible receipts. If you do too many of them, you'll have a million crows feet from squinting. Oh! I forgot about the bonuses from 411. .01 for every 10 after the first 10 and so on. I do quite a few 30+ items and only get .03 extra cents! Hey, why not .01 cents a line. *crosses arms and pouts, but know I'll still do a few long ones. Sigh*
Did you guys mention RnR? He almost always have HITs up and he never rejects. Although, he most certainly will take your qualification after a while.
