So discouraged this last couple of weeks I have about 50 requesters in Turkmaster and none go off anymore. The only thing I find anymore are surveys and half the time when I click on them they are gone too. Once and awhile an ibotta or a BitLitMedia will go off but they are gone before I get there. This is my only income and my husband is disabled so I need to be home with him. How do you keep from getting discouraged? I just want to give up sometimes but I can't. If I have a good day it is 10.00

If all of the requesters in your TM aren't posting, find new requesters. There is as much of a revolving door with requesters on mturk as there is with workers. When you're doing well, it can be easy to become complacent and think that you have it all figured out and don't need to be digging for other stuff. But if you're not constantly on the search for new and better requesters, you may find yourself left behind at some point. This has actually been one of my biggest struggles, personally. Mturk moves very quickly and I think being able to keep up with it is just as much of an important skill as anything else. Maybe the most important one.

I strongly agree with all of this.

Also, if you're running Turkmaster with 50 requesters/searches, depending on how you have it all staggered, you could be having page request errors interfering which would cause you to miss HITs that are being posted. I'd really trim down the number of things you have saved in Turkmaster. Maybe look into HIT Monitor or another tool for saving some of the requesters.

I'm still holding out hope all the things in my hit monitor will come back. Then I'll stop being so lazy.

Except then you have to buy it a bed or sleep on the floor while it takes yours.

That's okay, I'm still holding out hope that money will just stop being a thing and I won't have to worry about any of this anymore.
