I'm saying this in the most polite way possible: this work isn't for everyone. People have different temperaments and handle this type of work differently. For some people, it's fine and for others, it's soul crushing and for others, it's somewhere in between. But it's definitely not going to be tolerable for everyone and some people just aren't build to be able to do it, no matter how hard they want to make it work out.

How much do you net each month from turking?

I'm sort of apprehensive to ask this, because I know how protective Turkers are of their work; however, I think this question isn't too bad. I wanted to know, to all the Turkers who make over $200+ per week, how long did it take for you to get to that level?

I've been turking now for maybe 3 months, but I got serious about it at the beginning of this month. I'm currently searching for work outside of my home (because I got laid off from my company; it's been over a year of unemployment and dead end interviews) and I really want to boost my income so I don't get evicted from my home. I have nowhere to go if I'm forced out. I've only recently started to learn about scripts and mTurk forums, which I'm excited about, but I'm truly dedicated to making his a full-time job. I still have so much to learn. I'm so baffled by the individuals who've just started turking and make $150+ per week. I feel as though there is something I'm missing out on.

I'm only curious and asking sincerely.

get an irl job. do mturk and other online platforms on your days off and off hours. your situation is too unstable to rely on the internet alone to make money.

 

[Spicy Unagi]

I would say go and diversify and sign up for as many work online platforms as you can so you always have work available.

Which work platforms? I'm new to all of this, so I'm trying to also trying to understand the jargon.

I can't do any Zoltar work right now. My state seems to get the crap end of the stick

I don't believe Zoltar is state restricted is it?

Recently regular. I haven't got a reject from them, just don't expect to make bushels of money from it.

all of the information to do 200/week is on the internet, these forums, other forums, the reddit. just keep reading.

It's probably just how fast they go. I think Endor's stuff is usually pretty low qual'd.

For me It's all about consistent work every day. I like knowing how much I can assume I'll make if I put some work into it. So what I did is look for the hits I see out there every day. Some may be pennies, .02 or .05 cents. Be sure to look at TO and make sure they are not the ones who will reject easily or bad pay. Run those panda's on slow times or when you are busy with other daily stuff like eating. The more you find the more it adds up. Then you use all the resources out there like forums, scripts, chat rooms and searching on mturk itself. Don't rely on just one. Find the right times to use them. Running scripts that search for hits may not be efficient all day if you have daily panda's running. Find good times to use them like the mornings when surveys get posted. Use the forums to find things you didn't know about. Use hit monitor offline to find the good hits from good requesters without running into PRE problems. I also put my min goal low according to what those daily hits will give me. Everything else is just a topping on that min goal. Most important find the way you work the best. Don't compare to others because that might just get depressing. And don't be pressured to work on a hit if you don't feel comfortable with it.

rev, crowdsurf, uhrs, textbroker are my main money makers.

I'm pretty sure Zoltar is 90% approval rating, 1 hit approved, location is US.

 

[Serial Mom]

I think alot of it comes down to work ethic. This is soul crushing. But you can do great at this like kadauchi said. But it's easy to get defeated and wanna give up.
