This makes me wonder how many people think mturk is like swagbucks and only get on to make maybe a dollar every now a then. All the while being oblivious to the forums and the hundreds of people who can pull 100+ every day. It's a little heartbreaking to think about.
The information to at least get started on making more than a dollar or so a day is right there. /r/mturk and this forum are both in the top 10 google results. I'm happy to share potential earning with the people here, but if you're not willing to do some basic research you can enjoy your $.35 days.

Also I'm cranky and may need a snickers.

Right there with ya, though I'm averaging I think 14 seconds each. So 256/hr ~ $5.10/hr -.-. I need to get faster.
are you having two windows side by side open? drag and drop the link into the second window and it will google search it, much quicker than clicking and having it open a new tab each time.

Is there an easy way to take screen wide capture on a pc? I could upload a gif of how I do them

How reject happy is john white... already bracing for 100 rejects from another google account, not sure how far I wanna push my luck tonight.
I've done thousands of his hits without rejection, but his TO does report mass rejections recently though. Probably not worth it.

Some people have a full time job and want to turk in their free time, maybe? I started on mturk in college making a pittance, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Just wanted a bit of pocket money, and it served me just fine.

:nono:

It's what allows me to pay the bills.
Keep letting them think it.
Hey, I'm all about wanting a batch to myself just as much as you or anyone else. It's just videos like that lead people to think mturk sucks. And that is rather annoying to the people that do this as their main source of income.

I can't see how these are worth do for 2 cents. I am sure that there are people out there that can make these pay, but if you have the skills to do it, you'd probably make an even better killing on some other hit.

The greatest barrier to more people using mturk and making good money at it is mturk itself. It's so ridiculously user-unfriendly that most people try it once or twice and then give up.
Hell, I was going to before I discovered the forums.

The worst thing is that you would max at $76

I remember when I first found mturk... I worked for a month and a half to get $15 to buy a book I wanted off amazon at the time... didn't find the forums till a couple years later.

Updated the script to add a None button if the site is not available

I'm not doing 'em but if I were I'd have at least two going at once.
