Caffeinated Alcoholic Beverages survey was like 10 minutes for $2.55. Lindsay Ham, I think? I have no idea what the TO looks like though.

Sorry it posted too fast lol.
I usually use Hit Monitor for anything super specific I wanna see. TurkAlert to text to my phone for post updates. Hit scraper to see hits in whatever $$$ range I want. Turkmaster to panda $1+ hits and then panda anything else I am trying to catch. Try to get closed quals whenever you can even if you won't do the work for them. Try to make the most out of your time; calculate whether a hit is worth it based on its hourly pay. I avoid work that wouldn't pay decent for hour unless I am desperate, but even then, rarely do I do things not worth the pay. Spend money on good equipment; having a good computer, monitor, etc can be the difference between catching good hits and missing them. Pay for good internet, because of the same reason. That would be my advice.

Thanks! That is helpful...TurkAlert, that is one I haven't tried, and sounds like it would help out a lot. Also, are 'closed quals' usually something obtained through surveys, or how do those happen?

Unless it's changed since I last looked at it, TurkAlert is slow to send you alerts (every few minutes?) so by the time you get the alert, the HIT is often gone. Using something like HIT Monitor or VisualPing will give you alerts instantly.

For closed quals, it's usually being in the right place at the right time. Watch for HITs that have "qualification" in the title.

due to the chronic health crap, .

Honestly, I just try and panda the fuck out of what I can, and search search search when I'm awake. If I wake up in the middle of the night (which I do...) I grab a couple things. I try and maximize my time- WHILE making sure I take care of myself/ let myself sleep if I need to/ take breaks and stretch/move around to prevent extra pain....
If I have a shitty turk day/week, or am busy with appointments/stuff for the kids- I just adjust my budgeting. Plus, I don't stop if I hit my "goal" b/c I need the "surplus" to even out the shittier days.
Right now, I'm trying to save little bits (like a couple bucks here & there...) to go towards a tablet I can work on in waiting rooms and shit. (SOME HITs are do-able on tablets and phones, and a smartphone is SOOOOO not do-able any time soon....)

I just try and remember I don't have/can't have the same turking day as everyone else. Although I've been turking since the dawn of time.... I gotta be patient with myself

It's def worth looking into since it can alert you via email (or phone if your phone can do it), though like Electrolyte said, it can be laggy at times. I use it to supplement all the other ways I get notifications for work and I do not rely solely on it.

Closed quals pop up randomly imo. There are some requesters who post in the forum when they will be dropping them but often times it is based on luck. Basically if you ever see a HIT on Hit Monitor or something that says "Qual" or "qualification" in the title, it's something you can do to get into closed quals. I only have two closed quals thus far and would not have gotten them if I wasn't in the "right place at the right time" (so to speak). Other than that, I am not quite sure if there are other ways to get the quals. I know you can filter them in the qual area (of dashboard) but I think I have heard that is useless to do? Not sure.

No... turkalert is not worthless. It is an excellent tool to use when you want to watch for requesters that you haven't seen in a very long time. Getting a notification that they are active again, even when you are asleep or not working, can be invaluable.

I completed this in maybe 30m. But am now worrying over possible rejections because of their TO.

OK, folks. I'm out. Going to go watch the Cubs and wait for the alleged storm of the century to roll in.
