holy christ mikeeyyeyeyeyey. you got something. you found your calling and its mturk.lol ...so you can multitab and work from queue?

For some HITs, yes. That worked for me, it might not work for others or some may find it too tedious. I was having a lackluster day until I started doing that and there's thousands of other little quirks that other people use to dull the pain of drudging through mTurk. That's what it's all about. Find something that only wants to make you bash your head against the wall 3 times instead of 10.

I assume you make your own scripts correct? Is there any other specific ways to become more efficient.

I personally need to learn more about AHK and Javascript. So far, I have a dual monitor setup and it has helped me tremendously.

I can usually catch the high paying surveys. but I rarely make $50 a day. getting gud at this is beyond me I think. someone made a $100 from those rkogs yesterday. wow. re you talking bout scripting and time crunching those hits. any direct advice besides getting gud...like maybe an example of an old batch you did, something that wont hurt your funds today ya know.

Without derailing the thread too much further... there are lots of things you can do. Learn AHK. Learn Javascript. Learn about google search operands and other forms of googlefu. Research new extensions you can use and think of creative ways you can use existing ones. Learn about various techniques like multi-tabbing. Use more than one monitor. Develop a work search strategy. Identify the weak points in your work flow and find or develop tools to overcome them. Identify the bottle necks in your work flow and do the same thing. Use more than one browser... set each browser up for a different kind of hit so that they can be specialized with active scripts and extensions running in them. Etc and so on... better efficiency in any industry is a system of systems approach. Your computer can do more than you are using it for now and you have all the power in the world to modify it to suit your needs.

anyone make any strides in being a completely disorgnized dunder brain to organizational genius? books? im not good at time managements. I think turking is about micro managing alot of shit. I cant do

The opposite for me, I've gotten better and better at wasting time. I will read any article on the most boring shit possible just if it means I can put off doing a survey.

i was doing one on my chromebook and one on my laptop. it gave each some time to load. I just didnt see the money in it I guess. i gave up it still frustratingly slow.

do you have add/adhd? if so, sometimes it can be impossible to turk for long periods.
meds help.

Rekogs are definitely awesome, I made $165 off them yesterday and I know many people that made $250+ these past weeks with them each day.

The original Hellboy films were pretty good. It is going to be hard to do it better than Ron Pearlman (who was Hellboy). The new Tomb Raider makes some reference to the game which may be great.

Wow. didn't know they had another one coming out. Interesting that Chucky has the Good Guys look and not the Bride of Chucky one.

Yea they kind of rebooted the franchise with the last installment....which wasn't as good as this new one.
The new one hit the torrent trackers this week.


lol
