Serious question for all the pros on here.

This is my first full month of using mturk and this is my projected earnings for the month: $1,228.59.

Do you think I will be able to maintain or increase this amount every month?

I have only ever gotten half that much. Lol

What is this hit?
It's likely that you completed a problematic HIT for us and need to be paid. This is our way of collecting your Worker ID.

Once we have your ID, we can provide you with a qualification for a paid HIT.

We've provided you with a code via email. Please copy and paste that code in the box below.

After you've pasted the code, simply click the submit button to register your Worker ID. We'll be in touch soon after.

Is this... an email? Or part of a HIT?

No one can say.

One thing is when you first start it can be easier to get and do surveys. A lot of them are once in a lifetime, so when you start you can get all of those. MTurk is very variable. Some days/weeks/months are good and others aren't. As you get better stats (5k+) you will find more things open up to you. You really want to look for and get closed quals, they can be more profitable and more reliable, like ocmp5.

It's possible, but there are too many variables to really say with full confidence. Either way that's really impressive.

I'm not clear. Is what you pasted above part of an email from someone?

Bag stolen out of the mister's truck. It had an external HD in it which contained a lot of files plus all of kid #1's baby pics.

Yes, if you put the work in.

 

[Turtlefemm]

I was doing some of the edina hits and realized I don't feel any different being both people in the conversation than I do when I'm only one of the people in an instant message. What does that say about me? lol..... At least I answer myself more quickly than other people do!

 

[loki3404]

Yes, if you put the work in.

Who wants to do that?

Also to add
@Major Payne

Always be improving yourself and learning new skills and tools. If you like email hunting, find software that does it and get good at using it.
If you do a lot of batches learn AHK or scripting or both, and start making your own scripts.

Mturk is moody af, you might have an amazing batch where just putting in a couple of hours every day will get you past goal. Or you might have weeks where you're working all day and barely scrape by. The top turkers put in a ton of hours every day, and they always have batches and closed quals to fall on when the good stuff isn't dropping.

Think of Mturk as a roller coaster, but the kind the ends up like this:
