Quals are the real difference maker.....at least they were for me.
That and getting your turkmaster and HS settings just right.

Masters would be nice but it's not needed to put up big numbers.

Hi everyone! I'm not working today - been busy at the dentist, shopping for a Superbowl get-together, and taking my kids to Disneyland this afternoon! Whee! That's where my mturk money goes ... annual passes and dental bills.

You can it's called working for the government

At one of the prisons I worked at, the clerks in the records room would pull out cardboard (a heavy end of a box that had been flattened) and would put it under a long table and nap during lunch.

(Sleeping in a prison, if you're an employee, is pretty much frowned upon

The men (inmates) worked all round that office (it was in the middle of the compound) - and the grave irony?

Yes, with my masters, even the clerks made more money than me.

I only want masters for the Captchas, so sick of them after 100k+ hits, yes I'm not a robot, my god.


Also did anyone get the actual Geohive invite? I got a few emails but none had the login...

Thanks for the encouragement. I tend to average $20-40 per day depending on how long I work and the quality of HITs posted. I could probably tack on another $10-20 a day if I started work earlier (I like sleeping in) and maybe another $10 if I was less distracted during the day. Aside from the time management angle I probably just need to utilize more batch specific scripts and maybe learn how to AHK. Masters would be helpful too but I'm not holding my breath for that.

Gosh mine is all dependent on seasonal depression, which is why I turk instead of work, at least for now.

Winter: 20 dollar days at best
Summer: 60+

In between is in between. But you know what never happens? I never go home in tears because of an asshole boss. I never have anything breathing down my neck but a ticking timer. And I can work at 1 am if the God of Seasonal Depression decides I should be awake at that hour.

I still don't have quals cause I don't search for them ever.

This is true... I read a 100% accurate article just earlier today that used /r/mtruck as it's biggest information source.

No, flat rate, no bonus. it doesn't stop you from doing it again either but I didn't want to be greedy.

*highfives* Same boat here. Anxiety & depression are a bitch. With mturk, I don't have to worry about a panic attack getting me fired. Just trying to turn it into a full-time equivalent in terms of $ and not just time now...

Sure you can. All you need is a

, a hotplate, a skillet, and some M&M's.
