HI, thanks for making this post! It's great to know the potential for a part time Turker. I started in November and am still finding my way on Mturk. I'm making way down your list and can't figure out where to fill out my music preferences. Do you remember where to find the music preference page? I appreciate any help you can offer.It might be slow, but it's still possible to make your daily goal!
Here's a quick refresher, and some advice to new people:
You have to have a strategy-break it down into achievable, realistic, measurable goals.
I use Mturk as a filler at my real job, but still try to do $30+ each day.
Get your hits to above 5000, and get all the qualifications you can!
Screeners, Quals, Part 1s, anything with bonus in the title, Decision-making are good search terms!
P.S. Related to getting to 5000, MLDLabelers always has something up, and there's a 0.01 for a chess move from Rybn, and you can do as many as you want.
Here's a breakdown of a daily, realistic goal:
3.00 (10% of goal)-Angela Listy is a great filler, and often has 3-10 surveys on most weekdays. Make sure you are set to 0.1 as minimum threshold to get her smaller ones.
3.00 (10% of goal) Audiokite. Make sure you have all genres (there's like 20) of music checked and qualifications-they post 10-50 hits each day, ranging from
0.13 to 0.34
3.00 (10% of goal) Userbob He does basic 0.40 hits, and as you get more finished, he gives you higher paying jobs.
3.00 (10% of goal) MLDlabeler They always have grindy, filler batches to work on. Use as a filler, and to get your numbers up. Every month you can retake 3 super easy tests of their for $2 bonus.
3.00 (10% of goal) Chrislab, Chicagobooth, Wharton School, CocoSciPrinceton:
These posters are very active, and pay decently. Their items can bonus, and usually are gone quickly
3.00 (10% of goal) Amazon Premium Qual Testers
Demographic X is 1--These are usually up quite a bit longer, because not many people know about them. If you search Amazon, and set range to 0.00, there's a bunch of qualifications you can self assign. With the Election Year coming up, make sure you set your political preferences to qualify for many.
3.00 (10% of goal) Positly and SurveyComet
Another demographic opt-in requester-fill out all the fields! With the Election Year coming up, make sure you set your political preferences to qualify for many.
3.00 (10% of goal) PickFu
Another demographic opt-in requester. Yes, 10-30 cent surveys may not seems glamorous, but just do 10-20 a day. It adds up, and if you give enough quality reviews, they bonus.
3.00 (10% of goal) Clandestine Batch Work
(insert your overpaid secret batch you don't want to share)
3.00 (10% of goal) New Hits, New requesters, Random HITS
Try something new, or grab random hits from the queue.
These are all solid requesters, ~$9/hr, not get-rich-quick requestors.
Get the mindset-"I will do 10 Angela Listy HITS today", and boom, you're 10% to your goal.
$30x30 days=900/month, and with good requesters, you can double or triple that!
You can also keep your uTest, UserTesting, Validately, TrymyUI running on the side.
Userzoom, Prolific, Pinecone Research for more surveys that actually pay.
Swagbucks for the codes, not to do anything.
The key thing is to always be taking action, making the active choice to be doing something!
May 2020 bring you the best!
Thanks again for sharing this guide!
