Good morning! So, whelp.. As a turking newbie, I'm curious, do those of you who make decent $$ off this do it in addition to another job, or in place of another job? I'm still trying to get to my first 1,000 hits. Does it get any easier once I reach that 1k goal? I'm trying to find large batches of hits to get me there, but the idea of typing 187 words for $0.02 is daunting. I work full time 4 days/week and have a 14 month old toddler to keep me busy in the evenings so I'm trying to use my nights + my Fridays off to catch up but 1k still feels sooo far away! Ha. Otherwise I'm having trouble figuring out which tasks are worthwhile to do when I'm available.
Also I did a LOT of P9r's to get my numbers up. I didn't like doing them but it seemed like they were always available and approve pretty quickly. Now I wouldn't do them but at the time I did what ever I could so that I could reach my number goals.

p9r does sometimes reject. I know I never had a problem when I was a newbie, but others have.

Morning! :) It takes time, sort of like gardening. Do what you can, when you can, and you'll start making it profitable eventually. I truk with a toddler as well, so at times it can be challenging. To echo K'Lee @K'Lee I also did P9R in the very beginning to get my numbers. With turk you're constantly learning new things. Keep at it, and welcome aboard!

1000 hits seems like a lot but you will be there before you know it. I know I felt like I would never get there & now I'm at 32,000 completed hits. I had to do a lot of penny hits that I didn't think were worth my time to get there. Then the next goal was 5,000 so more hits would be available to me. I work full time and try to get in what I can. When I was trying to get my numbers up I spent hours on my day off trying to get there. Just keep at it.
That sounds about like what I'm trying to do now. Good to know it's possible!! Up to almost 700 hits.. I can't even imagine 32k yet!

I think 1 or 2 rejections came from them. I emailed and was able to get one of them reversed. They generally reply to emails but it takes a few days.

Hi this is a great question!

-As for me, I mostly make money off usertesting.com, mturk, and a cashier job I work on the weekends since online work is slow on the weekends.

-usertesting.com is a great site to use (10.00 tests for 15 min), but when u first sign up, u don't get that many tests (maybe 1 a day).

-As for mturk, if you want to make money, the best thing to do is to pay attention to the forum! Look at what hits were all talking about and pay attention to what tools we use, what qualification hits are posted, which hits are good time vs money, etc. Its HARD to find good hits because the good jobs go so fast!

-It DOES get easier once you reach that 1000, but dont focus on that. Focus on being able to catch the good hits that you can do right now. 1000 hits will come eventually.

-I use a tool called tampermoney on the chrome browser that lets me add scripts. (found on the chrome add on store)

-I use a tool called hitscraper to keep track of every new batch and survey that comes up. (found on greasyfork.com (EDIT greasyfork.org !!!!) , which is where you can find all the other scripts)

-I use a tool called hitmonitor to save my favorite requesters so that if they post, I'll know within 5 seconds.

- your hours will make it a little harder because most of the good work is up during business hours (M-F 8am-7pm) but stick with the forum and you will be fine.

-As far as which specific tasks pay the best, they are ALWAYS changing, so thats why I say once again, pay attention to what we are currently talking about on the forum :)

Here's a noob question for you fine folks: When I'm running PANDA's, I do so in separate Chrome tabs with an auto-refresher on them (at like 5-30 secs, depending on the reward amount). I can only have so many running before I start getting "You have exceeded the maximum number of requests" messages, and most of the time it's hit-or-miss on whether or not they'll actually catch the HIT they're after.

So my question is, am I doing this stupidly? Any thoughts?

Appreciate your time!
