I joined on December 2nd and I've gotten 787 approved HITs and make about $20 each day. I treat mturk like a 5 day job and basically keep the computer open all day until I hit my goal of 30 HITs for the day. For me it's been easier to set a goal of how many HITs I do rather than a monetary goal because the amount of good paying work is so unpredictable every day, but so far it's been pretty consistent with $20 a day (not including the holidays, those weeks SUCKED) and I agree this community is amazing and I keep the forum in an open tab every day ?
