You're a super fast learning then. Jeez. 2000 a month. Last month was $3000 for me but I started back in July. Took me months to start making $2000 a month.
I know making 2grand a month is rather rare, but does most of it come from closed quals? Having things running on your turkmaster? Or just being incredibly lucky in snagging things?

Or is it 200000 penny hits?

How do you store your breakfast burritos?
wrapped in alumimum foil super tight, then inside freezer gallon size ziplocs air squeezed out as much as possible. ziplocs can be re-used since no food touched them. always a couple bags in the fridge, just rotate.

Poop. I can't tell the difference between cleats, and the very first one I catch could very easily be what they're looking for. And TurkMaster is failing me.

Mostly surveys to be honest
though the most I've made has come from surgs, stickys, hitmeups
I've made so much from ProductRnR but I haven't done them in more than a month for some reason :shrug:

Also, if you have a family get rid of it. DOn't have a social life. wake up & sit at your computer until you go to sleep

For me, it was sergeys, x8, textuals, and other closed quals.
Also, I'm online all the time. scared batches, finding secret batches...etc. learning new techniques to catch hits.
TM, HM. its not about luck though.
You turk and you learn constantly. I'm still learning.

For the top half, I don't know if you're trolling or not....because sergey is legitimate but stickys, hitmeups, or RnRs????

Stickys is maybe 5 a day. hitmeup is 2

You turk and you learn constantly. I'm still learning.
I started out Turking in October, so now half a year, and I'm lucky if I can pull in $300 a month, so there's clearly something I'm not doing.. In general I'm on this ol' puter from dawn to dusk as I also do 3d modeling for game assets as a side thing, start doing my turkidge at around noon, but the vast majority of my time is spent looking for stuff. I've now taken to just doing A9s if I can't find something within 5 minutes, just so I'm not sitting on my hands, to push me closer to 5k.

if you make that much, incorporate yourself. tax laws love corporations.
I'm not sure if you were joking or not, but I've seen this brought up seriously elsewhere before where I didn't want to have to debate it, so here's the info. You can't turk under anything but your personal SSN, so your income from that must remain personal self-employment income, making it irrelevant here regardless.

But that aside, it seems most people have no idea of the ongoing costs and time-consuming extra paperwork that would be involved in incorporation... several hundred dollars to file initial incorporation paperwork, several hundred dollars a year annual 'franchise tax' payment ("A franchise tax is a fee paid for the privilege of doing business as a corporation in that particular state."), several hundred dollars a year in filing fees for various required paperwork, a hundred dollars or so annually for buying the most expensive tax software version each year (or several hundred dollars annually to get an accountant to handle business taxes)... and then you still have to do your personal taxes too, plus file employee-type tax paperwork and tax prepayments on yourself for the business throughout the year (there is a 'pass-through' option for the LLC type of incorporation that can reduce the extra tax paperwork, but then you're back to treating it all as personal self-employment income on your taxes, yet still owing those other extra fees). As the 'business' paying all its earnings to its sole employee, there wouldn't be profits to pay corporate income tax on for it, but you'd still owe basically the same total taxes as self-employment, just with the 'business' having to pay its half of the Social Security + Medicare portion to the government before paying 'you', instead of you paying both halves on your personal taxes. And as an added 'bonus', to be able to receive or make payments in the name of your corporation, you'd need to open a separate 'business'-class checking account at your bank after filing the incorporation paperwork, and that type of account usually doesn't have a no-monthly-fees option like personal bank accounts do. It's only the very large companies that can shuffle things around in a "tax laws love corporations" kind of way.

TLDR: you can't incorporate for turking, and wouldn't come out ahead if you could.

Weird. I stopped doing stickys, got unqualled to do RnRs but I do hitmeups/farhans still.

My top.
You just have to utilize TM more, find closed quals, find batches that no one is doing, set up HS for batches, HM
Keep your eyes glued to the forums too. I learn from turkers who make less than me and from turkers who make more. Keep an open mind and feel free to ask if theres a particular thing you need. make sure to hoard and panda hits and batches
