Hi guys, I apologize if this issue has been addressed before, I've spent a few hours reading the guides on here and haven't really gotten a clear answer.
I started MTurking in 2012 and have not used scripts, I would make nickles and dimes and it was all so disheartening. I stopped using MTurk after a couple months or so and now I'm unemployed and decided to give it another shot. I have been using MTurk Suite (only this) for about 3 months now and it still takes me on average 5 hours to get 10 dollars. I know how to use the block function for requester's and HITs, I know how the HIT catcher works, I understand how the search parameters work, so why am I still struggling for 10 dollars a day?
I have to be missing something. I mostly do surveys since they pay the most, and I tried some of the faster 0.10 or 0.05 etc HITs and it resulted in rejections for no reason so I quit that asap and blocked the requester. I have 1400 approved hits with 8 rejections (from the same requester) so I should at least be getting some decent hits, right? 99.4% approval rating doesn't seem bad. How are you all seem to be making so much more money? I mean don't get me wrong, some days I do really well (my highest day ever, working 12 hours on Mturk was $38) but those are extremely rare. How do I do it consistently?
It's got to be the scripts right? I am so lost. I mostly lurk because I don't like to take time away from other people and I don't like the attention but this is really starting to bug me. I am so focused and thorough with every HIT I do on Mturk, I feel I should be getting a much greater compensation than what I am now. Is there any comprehensive guide to which scripts you want and how to use them for maximum profit? I've found a few requester's that I like and put them in my include list but they hardly ever post.
Sorry for the long post, I'm not so good a writer and I'm very often redundant so I apologize for that. Can anyone help guide me in the right direction here? The information is all over the place and it's really really difficult to follow.
Thank you for reading,
Dave
