That does seem very low.

Have you ever checked this out http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/start-here-guides-for-getting-started.11/

Lots of good info there.

I'm not new I started in 2015, but I looked over it and there wasn't really anything that I didn't already know. I just recently started doing Mturk again. I have over 8000 HITs approved. I just can't seem to get near a decent hourly rate for some reason and it's really frustrating me. I've been doing my best to follow everything that I've read and I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Are you running Mturk Suite and HitFinder or something similar? If so, double check your settings. I've accidentally changed things before and caused it to stop collecting how I wanted.

Not to state the obvious‚ but are you using any scripts?

 

[klingeemonster]

Sigh. Woke up to some rejections from the solar panel hit. I just shouldn't try new things.

Yes, that hit was tempting, but I looked at it and the photos were not good enough for me to be very accurate, so I passed on it.

Ah that makes sense. Wasn't trying to say you did't know what were doing but I saw the new member tag and thought if you hadn't seen it it would really help.

Hi, g'mornin loves.

Some hits are diamonds in the rough, some hits will rough you up. Rejections ain't no thang.

Morning all! I saw two bluebirds when I was out walking my pup this morning. What's making you happy today?

Your avvy. I know what I'm watching later

 

[frogman31680]

i don't remember there being any guaranteed hourly rate. i don't know why anyone would have spent that much time on it - if you say you did 1 hour a day for 12 days then even the max bonus of $44 would have been $3.67/hour

I logged in, shared a few posts and forgot to login about 5 days out of the study. I posted a couple things and liked a few things.

I still got $23 in bonus + base.

I didn't really put a ton of effort in it, the site was horribly laid out and I got nothing but spam posts constantly in my email. All told, I probably did about 3 hours, 4 tops.

Just picking up HITs from the forum alone should have yielded you more than that. Are you using HF/HM/PC?

Just a couple minutes.

I am using Hit Finder with Mturk suite. I just recently started using this, I used to use hit scraper (never got much out of that either).

Here are my settings:
Scan Delay: 5
Min Reward: .02
Min Avail: 2
Min TO: 2.5
Size: 100
Sort By: Latest

What I have been doing is watching hit finder for batches and maybe some surveys that come through the filter, while waiting to find something good there, I watch this website for surveys or maybe run hit scraper for surveys until I find a good batch.

It's just so frustrating it make me want to quit.
