My biggest question I guess is: What is the single best way to try and get the HIT's before they are gobbled up? Do these things (scripts,etc.) automatically select HITs while you are currently working on another? Or do you still manually have to select them?

30K batch just ran out, now i won't feel too guilty of having the qual and not doing it

How much you sitting at so far?

Well looks like this isn't the day to be turking, so I'm off to do other things. Hope everyone has a good day and finds some hits.

there are scrapers out there that automatically accept hits over a certain $. I don't use them. So, you have to ask someone else about them. If you are working on a batch, then panda crazy is great for that. But to work on a batch, you have to have a batch (and the qual). ABQ (always be qualling). You never know when something will turn into a closed qual that will benefit you.

Also - don't do so many hits for any one requester that, if they mass reject your hits, it will sink your approval rating so low that you cannot recover (your rating does make a difference in what you can accept).

Everyone works on mturk a bit differently. YOu have to try out different things and see what works for you

Thanks again Jan,
I have approximately 3300 HITs completed in 5 months without using any programs or anything. So a lot of this is new to me. For instance, this concept of "batch" is new to me as a couple of days ago. What type of HITs would be considered a batch. Apparently good money can be made from those and I haven't done any of those.

Also, don't assume because these people are putting up $40 or $60 amounts that there's actually work out there. I can tell you that I made $0.40 today so far. I don't have some of the qualifications that these guys have even though I've been working on Turk for a long time ( took a break for a few years though).

There is a qualification called CR research one that most of these guys have, that is very hard to get. I haven't been able to get it. A lot of the hits involve that qualification, so if you don't have it you're not going to be able to do those hits.

There's another qualification called Masters that is very rarely given out. I've been doing this for something like seven or eight years and I don't have Masters. It seems to be kind of arbitrary who they give it to, although it's obviously for people that Turk a lot (and well)

So sometimes if you don't see any work, maybe you should walk away. Other times you don't see any work, you should wait... but it's one of those things that's hard to tell what to do. I probably average $20 per day, and I've been doing this a long time, though I did take a four year break and things are a bit different upon returning. I'm hoping to start making $30 a day by next month, and hopefully I'll be making $40 a day by Christmas... but it's one of those things that takes a long time, and there's no guarantees, and there's no automatic thing that works well, except for panda.

a batch is more than a few hits - sometimes they drop as several thousand hits. The pay might be low (.05) but you get into a rhythm and can do hundreds.

I think one of the things to understand about Mturk, is that it's a process. It's about carefully curating your addons, and accumulating good requesters. It's about not wasting time on work you struggle with, and bad requesters

I hadn't turked with scripts for almost 2 years, since I mainly do it at work. I did some yesterday, and blocked literally 22 pages of bad requesters over the course of the day. 22 pages of people under $7/hr avg, or low hit approval.

However, I had many perennial good people, and Turkerview makes it easy to see who is good. Yesterday was grand, and had >$100 of good surveys.

It's all about batches you enjoy doing, getting a panda for them, and learn who is good, who is bad, and who ugly (I'm looking at you, Noah Turk).

If you follow along a couple of forums, you can see what people are doing that pays. Lapetitebaker(#1 Turkerviewer) and Blakkat post tons of good things on here and the turkerview forum. They're super easy to use, and you can import pandas/searches from the links they post.
