Wow. Just put HS on a timer and set to make a noise when a new HIT comes up...first time I've done that and I've already grabbed 3 $1+ surveys that I doubt I would have been able to before.

So I've never really done no TO hits because I've always been scared of being scammed/rejections. But now I have enough HITs submitted that it won't impact my rating. Should I still not bother with them or should I take the risk?
If they are from educational sources they are usually fine. But $10 and up surveys with no TO could represent a repeat of yesterday and we really need to be careful. Many high $ writing HITs are already assigned to chosen people and that's why you will see mTurk numbers assigned to them when you see the legitimate ones up with quals.

After i've accepted a hit, and there are no longer any available so I cant search for it. Is there a way to still post the hit on here in the correct format?

I tried to but my dog was like, " Um, don't you take surveys for like 30 cents a piece? And you want to give me advice on things?" and then rolled his eyes really hard.

if you haven't done these yet they aren't terrible

EDIT: bad TO seems to be from a broken survey.

If anyone got the Attention & Memory Lab survey for $4.50, it only took me 6 minutes. It has a terrible TO but from previous surveys that were supposedly really long.
Ugh didn't see this.
"You must have been diagnosed with a learning disability to participate in this survey."
rejection incoming.

Another question about taxes: To prove your earnings, do you just print out all of your weekly earnings reports or what?

If you have a normal job alongside mturk 100% go to an accountant if you aren't super savvy doing your own taxes, the amount of deductions you can take is absurd.
