Well.. I'm still not at $50 a day after a month so that is depressing news. I must be doing it wrong then.
Not necessarily. There's a pretty steep learning curve. It can take a while to figure out what you're personally good at, and to get familiar with the platform etc etc.

50 bucks a day is a lot, really. Most people aren't making 50 bucks a day. The average is around 200-300 a week, so 20-40 bucks daily.

I was quite certain it wasn't you in the soda bottle. We all know your domain is in the subway of some metropolis where you proceed to collect slices of abandoned pizza. While you're down there, tell the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I said, "Hello."
THANK YOU! You really understand me. And I'll try to say hi but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have turned into complete douchebags ever since they started hanging out with Michael Bay.

I've been on mturk a year now and only had a few 100+ days. Turking has probably cut C to the J @C to the J 's life short by a few years from all the monster drinks he goes through. :blep:

You using the big three effectively?
Hitscraper, Turkmaster, and Hit monitor.

That was the game changer for me personally.
A lot of it is just trial and error.
Trying to get those working right so you can snatch the HITs up quicker than your competitors co-workers.
And to add to this...

I have only been Turking for a month, but try to always be working. Find some good filler batches to do while you wait for other things to come along. Also try to get any quals you can.. Even if it doesn't seem like something you are into, it could be a good filler for a slow day.

I feel like one good way to look at mturk work is "negativity does not create productivity."

Whenever I get really depressed or down about my earnings (or lack thereof) that energy is wasted when it could've been poured into some short, cheap hits. I started working on mturk and couldn't get close to $50 a day but it was all my attitude and my effort. As soon as I started really investing my time in learning how mturk worked and what hits I liked (and focused less on being depressed over low earnings) I started making more. But for me, sometimes it takes 10 hours to do that. But that's the sacrifice in my time that I am willing to give up so that I don't have to go back to working a dead end job elsewhere.

I kind of wish I knew more about fashion. I feel like 20 iterations of "How to wear pants" isn't what they're looking for.
If the survey I did on golf today doesnt reject I'll be amazed. What I know about golf would fit on the head of one of those little wooden stabby things that you put the ball on.........

I think the technical term for that is the golf ball stick.

I wish there was an easier way to "clean up" all my pandas and stuff on turkmaster. I just have them thrown all over the place.
