Now that I was finally able to start working M-Turk and am about a week in to it, I thought I'd share my thoughts and experience. So far, I have earned $30 with another $6.75 pending. I am pretty easily making my $5 per day goal, with approximately an hour total worth of time each day.
Currently, (based on a blog recommendation I read) I just do a search of "survey", put in a minimum of .50 and click on HIT's I am qualified for. I have also changed my search criteria to "newest first". That seems to work the best for me. I will usually do a survey first thing in the morning and then do several more during my lunch break.
I still have a bunch to learn on how it all works and will have to figure out how I can get "more qualified" to do other hits. I also read that just getting your volume of completed hits increased helps you get more qualified for other hits. I have done 59 so far, since I started.
About my only frustration is that I have to reenter my search criteria each time. When I complete a hit it takes me back to the main search screen and I have to re-enter my criteria after completing each hit. That takes extra time. I also wish it would keep hits you've already completed from re-appearing.
Overall, I am very happy that it is pretty easy to make my daily goal of $5. I also like that you do not have to enter a bunch of answers and then be told you don't qualify - as always happens with Swagbucks surveys (such a waste of time).
If you are doing M-Turk, I'd love to hear your tips and tricks!
I've been doing M-Turks for a little over 2 months. The last couple of weeks I have been spending a bit more time with it and averaging well over $10+ a day. A few days I even earned over $20. Definitely get your numbers up as that does open you up for more HITS. Do a search of "John Doe". Super easy 10 second HITS. Click "accept next" to keep them coming without doing a new search. While they don't pay that much, it does add up and can also rapidly increase your numbers. Bonuses are another nice surprise. I'm up to over $30 worth of those. Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll try that. I've gotten 2 bonuses so far. I'm too, hoping that once I get in the swing of it all, I can up my goal to $10 a day
DeleteHmm. I just tried John Doe in the search field and it didn't come up with anything.
DeleteNever mind! I didn't type capital J and Capital D, then it worked
DeleteGood! Glad you found it!
DeleteThis sounds more interesting the more I hear.
ReplyDeleteWell, you will get more opportunities as your percentage increases and your numbers of completed hits. I will tell you that I do "Reward amount highest first" and then "for which you are qualified".I mainly do surveys but occasionally i do other things. My general guideline (I made exceptions) is ten cents a minute (with some variation obviously). There is a reddit group called "hits worth turking for" you may like. And also realize many of the surveys are European, so the earlier in the day you do it, the better you will do. I aim for five bucks a day when I am at home, but dont do much on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tips! I will keep plugging away at it and hopefully will qualify for more as I go along. I'll take $5 a day :)
DeleteThanks for the hints and tips. I signed up over the weekend and was stuck on the .01-.25'ers. Just took a 2.00 thanks to your advice!
ReplyDeleteawesome! I'm still plugging away at it. Some days seem better than others.
