Quick newbie question from a long time ex-turker who hasn't been turking in years......

How is the pay on Mturk now days?

Is it possible for a couple to make $75. - $100. a day via taking mostly surveys between two people now days? Both of our accounts still have Master Certifications if that still means anything?

Sorry to go off topic, just need a quick answer if possible!! Thanks
It's possible, yes. But this platform is dead compared to how it was a few years ago. That's going to require a lot of effort if you're mostly doing surveys.

Thanks for the quick responses....... So I guess the only question I have left would be are the batches still jumping now days? I'm assuming so according to previous post? My plan would be mostly surveys, however I defiantly love jumping on those great batches.

I have pretty much all the latest scripts up to date now and quite a few updated qualifications.

If anyone else didn't get the correct bonus from Affective Science for the 21 day diary, I'd send them a quick message. They looked into mine and said they will send the remaining amount I was shorted.

Also, I should have added. We are trying to save for a down payment. We're hoping we could still bring in $75.00 to $100.00 a day between both of us. This would include working all day from 6 am until 9 pm'ish?
it is possible but not for the 2/3 weeks during the holidays

Quals are everything now. Decent non-qual batches can be kinda scarce these days, and when we do get them they're gone within a few minutes. Definitely do everything you can to grab as many quals as you can.

My goal is $100/day. You'll be fine with the two of you, especially if you can snag some closed quals. I do mostly batches though, and yes, having masters will help. ?

Also, there's been decent work on Prolific lately. If you're not signed up there, I would do that, as well. .

As others have stated, there's not A+ quality batches floating around at all times. I feel like I usually get lucky to find one good one each day that nets me a fair amount of money, and then I may get a few little ones that help out. Quals are definitely everything, which reminds me, I feel like I'm kind of lacking on decent quals for batches.... not sure how some people stumble into good ones sometimes lol.

It's possible but you will have to work twice as hard compared to a few years ago, and now around the holidays when there are more people turking , anything decent or ANYTHING for that matter gets eaten up alive in seconds. If you can work the night shift and have your partner work the day shift you can compare earnings will probably get an idea of which shift works better . For some people they make more money during the day and for some at nights. GL

It's possible, I'm averaging atleast $30 (I have no idea how that will be as we hit into the next few weeks). It depends on your qual and I don't have masters so you might have some better luck then I do. I'd try to aim that number or higher if you can if you want to get that goal of yours, but likewise keep working on what you can.
