Dark Raver Camper Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I ordered some Cajun gator jerky, to reward myself, and it should be here Monday. The only other thing I purchased, was some Felix the cat, Japanese gum, made from whale blubber. I’m sure a few of you may have had it in your youth.

KingRevolver Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think I'm finally going to get one rejection, Jimbo. There was one that was ridiculously confusing... not sure what this clown wanted done exactly. Time was running out, so I just filled crap in.

Dark Raver Camper Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Hoffa, are you just using Hitscraper? It seems everytime I use it, maybe 1 out of 7, I'll get. Maybe I don't know it well enough. I think I lose out because I have to click twice. Click the hitscraper, then click accept. It seems that I have better luck using no script, and refresh, and click accept. I wanted to start this week off with a bang, and loaded the mturk suite thing. I'm not using this things correctly or know how to utilize them. That being said, I haven't made much, if any, effort to watch youtubes about them that break it down.

Jimmy Hoffa Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 You're averaging around $1.00 per hit, that's great. As long as you stay above 98% you're going to be fine. I have little ambition to become a robo-turker and become a Master, if I get a rejection I can live with one here and there. I'm at 3500 hits and hoping that getting above 5000 will open up some better opportunities with higher rewards. I won't turk again after football starts but I'll resume in February like I have this year. I have been using Hitscraper with results similar to yours. I think the problem is in the delay from clicking on the new HIT to clicking on accept when the new page opens. I tried Hit Catcher and have not had much success. This weekend I tried Turk Engine (I think it's in the suite). I think I like it because when a new HIT shows up and you click on it, it automatically accepts it for you and places it in your queue. If you're too late, you get a window that says the HIT is unavailable. Then you can add it to a watch list that will keep trying to find the missed hit automatically. I will play with it more this week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases the requesters are just too picky. ALWAYS contact the requester with a sob story to try and reverse the rejection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Raver Camper Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I'm thinking of waking up early and doing about 500 John Doe hits, to get me to 2,000. Loss leader type of thing. I have about 1,460 approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Raver Camper Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 King, bite the bullet, and do some of these, until you have 100 approved hits. They pay 3 cents each, but take about 30 seconds or less to do. Getting to 100 is your goal now. https://worker.mturk.com/projects/31ZOAI992INEZGK9VOLKDQ9XE89TLU/tasks/3QO7EE372OZOPR7U52RKJ0HH4LPQBO?assignment_id=3JAOYWH7VJGXWLAD5FAU0SJIS6P9LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Raver Camper Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 You’d be able to take more surveys or whatever. I often see some qualifications being 100 plus approved hits as a qualification. Just to level with you, it isn’t crazy, but it opens some more stuff up.

I will play with it more this week...Thanks! I removed the suite yesterday because I felt I was all over the place but will load it again and look for the engine. Your earnings last week motivated me yesterday, so I’m going to go hard this week! I had a plan with those John Doe hits. There were like 14k of them when I went to bed. I was able to do 100 before they were done. It’s tough because I switch plans a lot. I have over 1,600 now and want to get to 5k. I think I could make it but I’m unpredictable. It still is entertaining and engaging somewhat, so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machiavelli Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 How many HITs would it take for KR to recoup his $400 Stripper fiasco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Hoffa Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 A couple of pointers... Regardless of your age or family size, always portray your self as a single, 24 year-old male without kids. That will cut a lot of questions out of the surveys. Anytime they ask for your height and weight just put down 5' 10" and 150 pounds. Otherwise you'll get a whole bunch of weight loss and obesity questions. The idea is to just plow through these surveys while contributing as little work as possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
