It's not a fight. I'm happy for everybody who makes that money. That qual test is a biatch. Were all in this together. No need to compare! : )
I feel the same. I know how hard I work and I will not compare myself to others, but I will help when I can.

I was bored at work today. but I totally didn't do this at work. I totally did my job (until the freaky on drugs guy who scared the crap out of me came into my office and wouldn't leave and I was considering calling the cops but he finally left).

Anyway, did all this on my lunch of course. Proud of me.

FYI, was transferring Mturk funds, looks like Amazon Payments is gagging, after logging into the Amazon Payments site. Takes your login, then:

"Looking for Something?
We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site
Go to Amazon.com's Home Page"

Mturk main site is working fabulously though.

Just found out about A9s. I usually ignored penny stuff but I guess when it's this quick it's economical to just bang out a bunch if you have nothing better to do?

People feel differently about it. I liked doing them to get my HITS above 10,000.

It's really depends on which A9's are up at any given time. Sometimes the 1 cent ones will take less than 2 seconds each and you can make them worth your while, the 2 cent ones are really good money if you have the stamina and patience to do hundreds of them hour after hour. But they post a lot of different ones and most of them aren't really worth your time unless you're trying to get your numbers up.

Do you do penny batches at all?
if you mean literally 1 penny per hit, not very often. then I would max out at $38.00 or less with returns/expires. rarely 2 cents per hit either. I like some batches though.

they're not the worst, but there's a limit to the $/hr and, obviously, they count quite a bit towards the 3800 HITs/day cap and occupy your time that could be spent otherwise

take into account whatever your situation is and use your best judgement, there's no cut-and-dry method really

response from Siddharth Suri

I think this might indeed be a bit of a game.

Thanks for your interest in working on our HITs. We want to give everyone a fair chance to obtain access codes so as we post more HITs more access codes become available as well, but we won't be emailing them out directly. You can also try and obtain then from other Turkers.



Please stay tuned as we post more HITs!
