I passed that qual but am too worried about the HITs to do them. And they’re not great pay anyway.

I tend to find I make more money when I used my macbook and ipad or two macbooks and my ipad than just one unit.

even people with masters don't consistently make $55/day.
I don't have masters, and when I'm home on a weekday, I can make $50-$80 (sometimes)

and requesters that are worth their salt, AND consistently post eventually find out that masters itself doesn't mean that the worker is any better than anyone else, and that urges them to make their own quals instead.
in fact, some of the searching I do is specifically looking for quals or tests

This. I post my daily earnings near every day and while I might have a $100 day here or there I don’t consistently make over $50.

I have two monitors at work and it absolutely helps. Some HITs I really can’t do as efficiently if I don’t have double screens.

CIs back for round 2

That was a big tease.

 

[Freda Brown]

Seems so.

What happens when you have a block? I mean does it affect your Mturk standing in general?

 

[ChristopherASA]

honestly, a slow night like tonight is probably a great time to get the new stuff set up

Coming off a one day beer-bender (the first in a lonnnnnggggg time) so I don't think my brain is up to it. Will probably get up at 2am or thereabouts and hit it. And thank you for the help, @Jharkan !

I turned my tv into a second monitor when I learned how, and it definitely helps, only because I put hitfinder on the touchscreen laptop by itself
and everything else is done on the 'tv'
then I go and touch the panda if I want to, even though I'm more likely to use the mouse

that's another thing. I used to use the laptop's trackpad instead of a mouse.
a regular mouse is incredibly useful, and much better than a trackpad any day of the week

Some people have said that your blocks effect your abulity to do some hits.
I personally haven't had any blocks impact me. I have had I think two or three big requestor blocks. I wouldn't let it bug ya.

i use my ipad mostly because it is fastest,but using a trackpad on a laptop is horribe. I love using my apple pencil. it is so fast.

My understanding is that it's probably bad to get a lot in a short amount of time as far as overall account standing is concerned, but other than that I'm not sure. Leave a TO review so people know it's happening though.

for the most part, it only gets the worker upset
supposedly it MIGHT affect your standing with amazon, but I doubt it
usually it's used when a requester can only accept one task per worker, and doesn't want to create an exclusion qualification (or doesn't want to pay the money to maintain one)

they really should use an exclusion qualification instead, but they either don't know the difference, or like I said, don't want to pay for their own specific exclusions.

the fact that you didn't know about it shows that you probably don't have many anyway
you've got more important things to worry about than one requester, and spending your mental energy on them is a waste of your time

Late on this but too many blocks in a close span can result in suspension. Blocks are what should be feared.

I won't work for any requester that hands out blocks....even if it means missing out on a $30+/hr batch.

that is what the old emails from amazon used to imply.
but I don't know there is any type of factual evidence

that said, if I know a requester blocks, I'm more hesitant to do those hits, I won't lie

no decent hourly is worth it when you end up losing your mturk account
