Don't want to jinx it but Sergey has been posting in the middle of the night/early morning the last two days.
Did my best day by far yesterday, $226, thanks to it.

Oh hey, I meant to ask. Which Sergey's posted last night/night before? Was it the uncapped batch, the $1.50 trashy ones, or ?

Danke . Those aren't bad at all. I did quite well with those yesterday while they were up in the late afternoon. Here's hoping he posts again tonight so I can make some $.

Oh, god. Please don't judge us based on the convo over the last hour.

Welcome to MTC!

Judge us, instead, by the sum of the last 2.5 hrs of conversation. Much funnier that way.

What? I didn't see any Sergeys last night...

Holy fu...I had my best turking day ever when that giant Sergey batch dropped on Tuesday and I did $45.

Yea I forgot it's passed midnight.
Anyway, it was the 27th.
There was a early morning batch and a afternoon batch.
Early morning was beaaaaaaaast.

I meant to tell you that you dun gud. You dun real gud, son.

Now do it on a day when Sergey isn't around.

Previous best was $185, without Sergey.
Now ask me to do it without VDX around and I'll be in trouble.
I can feel my skills increasing day by day though. ompus:

Love it when requesters notice time differences and step up. Makes me all warm and fuzzy.

I think it was the same for most of us big number workers. I cut my teeth on big ass batches of Taste of the World restaurant hits. It prepared me really well for batch work. I'll never forget my first $100 day... then it was $200... $300... I've made it far past that in a day a number of times, but those were entirely due to catching multiple super high paying hits in a single day. Or the occasional max out on .20+ batches.

If I can offer some advice... wean yourself off of VDX. I went through a period after Taste stopped posting where I had gotten so used to making bank on their batches I forgot how to grind out filler batches and search for shit. It was a pretty rough period and my earnings sagged significantly... had trouble motivating myself to work "scrub" hits and the lower earnings just straight up killed my productivity and attitude... try setting yourself a low "daily vdx goal"... then after you hit it spend some time doing other stuff whether they are still up or not. Sounds counter intuitive... but VDX isn't a super juicy batch and you'll do yourself a favor staying lean and hungry by maintaining the attitude that you can take them or leave them.

I think at that point you might make slightly more money selling such a system to other companies rather than using it for turking.

Thanks for the advice man.
The psychological aspect you're totally on point with. I passed on some good batches today....just not being "hungry" enough....knowing that VDX will trickle in all day.
Probably could have done another $200 day if I was focused.

WTF Amazon. Logged me out when I went to submit a HIT, and when I got back in to try to submit it again, it says I already took it. Stop logging us out!

I usually make the bulk of my money from surveys, and after I did that Sergey batch surveys just seemed like a giant waste of time, I looked down on them and when one asked me for money, I told it to get a job.
I had forgotten my roots...

I wish I could watch you work for like 5 minutes. I know there is so much I can do to step up my game, but I havent found the way. You motivate a lot of people who want to get to that level....so yeah.
