don't get too caught up with the 100+ earners, that takes a lot of dedication and experience to pull that on a regular bases. just do your best and keep learning.

$25 on your fourth day is GREAT by the way. i think i did like $6 for my first week.

You also need good quals, wrists made of steel and a very high tolerance for repetitive work and/or bubbles. I'm okay on the quals front but suck at the rest. 300,000+ HITs under my belt and $25 is still a good day for me.

damn, they only gave me 20.00 today

congrats tho

I'm guessing it's because I haven't done any tests in over a week. It seems like they give you more if you haven't done a lot recently.

I'm only at $24 and have been turking almost 4 years. Don't beat yourself up

You only make $6 a year?
Get it together, Liz.

So, no way to contact a R without already having submitted a HIT? I'd really like to tell this chick her 1 min timer needs to be adjusted.

It's weird when you're helpful. It scares me a little.

$6 a year is better than $0 a year as long as you're having fun

1. Preview HIT
2. Click on requester's name
3. "Contact This Requester" link is in the HIT Details window.

Pain in the butt, but it's there.

Having fun doesn't pay the bills...or buy drugs.

Please don't judge your success by anyone else. Some people post just to brag. others post to motivate, and others post just because. I always have found it a bit odd ... not like people in other areas of employment run around shouting how much their paycheck is each week But that's just me and I digress.

Learn all you can about turking and look into the tools available ... set your goals and do your thing! Everyone is here for various reasons and have individual goals. You will drive yourself mad trying to compare or even keep up with the Joneses.

There's a few types of high-PE posters:

Some post b/c if you do good, you want to say it!
Some want to motivate/feel it's a team activity/community, still a positive reason to post.
Some want to be mentors, and mentoring improves your own game and feels good.
Some want to brag and be called out to argue.
Some, I'm convinced, are involved with forums/mTurk/RQSTRS somehow, as motivation.
Some are just plain lying.

Don't compare yourself to others, but by all means sometimes feed the trolls (a bare hook).
