I did 130 that day ... So far 8 rejections and 122 pending. At this point I want to email the requester and offer them $2 just to stop rejecting.

Afternoon, all! What's making you super cranky today?

I drank a lot yesterday and now I'm hungover and I hate everything but I have no one to blame but myself.

I got a good reason though, I don't know what everyone else's fucking problem is today.

So, basically when we as newbies ask what we can do we are directed to the regular places and usually told to just keep doing hits and get our numbers up. But a more truthful approach would be that we need to develop more knowledge of PC's and coding to reach a level of income most would consider acceptable. I don't have a problem if that is the reality of the situation but it would be nice to know the reality from the beginning. As a Social Worker I look at it from the perspective that not everyone is at the same starting point. Many of us don't even know what AHK is or what you mean when you say Googlefu or other terms. Yes google is your friend to the extent that you know what you are seeking, you can't search for that which you don't know exists. And if you only find more terminology that you don't understand, it is useless. We hear that we need scripts and that it is easy to create them, know how to utilize them etc...But I find it hard to believe that those with the most basic pc skills would know these things without heavy guidance from someone in the know.

Your point is best taken up with Amazon. they are the ones who set up this system without any guidance to the workers. Every instance of help from another worker should be looked at as a present to you because no one has to help anyone else here. But they do it anyway. They tell us when good hits are posting even though that means less hits for them when they run out. They write scripts and let them be used freely. They give advice constantly even when they could be using that time turking. The workers have created websites where you can rate requesters and praise or complain about them. They write articles that we can use to educate requesters who don't know how to change a rejection.

The number one way to make money on mturk is to turk and learn what you don't know. In time you will understand what people are talking about and be able to use it.
