why that is an interesting question my dear lobo. If you meant today, I started around 10:00a.m. because I spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to set up moble tests on usertesting.com. I'm a bit slow with mobile phones so it takes me a bit longer than everyone else to figure them out.if u dont mind me asking, wat time did u start?
If you mean when did I start turking at all, that is quite an interesting story.
In early 2014 I stumbled upon another site where you can make money taking surveys called clixsense.com. I worked on that site for a few months making about ten dollars a day. I usually spent about 8-9 hours on the site and I longed for a better way to make money. I noticed on the site, there were tasks you could do to make money. These tasks were mostly search result tasks from crowd flower. I figured if a company named crowd flower had tasks that they would pay people to do, there must be other sites that do it as well.
When I searched google for crowd flower, I noticed it was called a "crowd sourcing" site. So naturally, I searched for the best crowd sourcing sites on google and a site came up that said mturk. I scanned around, looking at the types of jobs that were available, and the transcription jobs caught my eye first. I saw that some were 10, 40, 50, even 80 dollar jobs. Oh how my heart soared! I was making ten dollars a day on clixense. The thought of making 80 dollars a day at home made me ecstatic!
I decided to give it a shot and test out the "mturk" site. However, when I joined, the site said I had to wait 10 days until I could get paid. For some reason I thought it meant ten days until I'd be able to do more than one job. So I took a quick 50 cent survey about music, and patiently waited the ten days. After that, it was around June of 2014 when I finally got around to becoming a turker.
