12/04 - Totally Random Sunday!

Well, here is why I think Surveys are a trap: They require more effort to find, more effort to read, and for me more brain stamina overall and you do not really learn anything doing them. The higher payer ones also require a good connection to catch, which I definitely do not have.

 

It depends on the number you are more concerned with:

$/hr

or

Total $

 

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

The following is a summary of activity for your Mechanical Turk account for the week ending Dec 03, 2016.

Your HIT activity for this week:
- Number of HITs submitted: 120

Approvals and payments that occurred this week:
- Number of HITs approved: 113
- Number of HITs rejected: 0
- Bonus reward earned: $2.30
- HIT reward earned: $24.01
- Total Amount earned this week: $26.31

I'm happy with those numbers for my first two days back after a 6 month long hiatus

 

I have to ask; do you normally try to only do >$.10 per minute? or do you just grab every survey you can? (excluding the obvious hour long surveys for 15 cents)

 

It wasn't that long ago that I was struggling to make >$200 a week and now my weekly goal is set to $350 while I expect to make more.

You know the one thing I prefer about the survey method is it is a lot more friendly. People are much more willing to share pandas for surveys then saying what batches are good for obvious reasons.

 

yeah i do a quick calculation (based on their estimation or previous TO reviews). if it's .10/min, that's only $6/hr which is obviously not very good. i really only accept things over that. if no one did them, they'd either raise the wages or wouldn't get their data. we have the power as workers to set the rates that we'll accept. wish more people only did the decent paying ones. we don't deserve shitty wages

 

But it says that the survey is quick and fun

 

lol, that was in the description of one the other day ._. was like... 15 cents for 30-40 mins.

 

There's a lot of stuff I return when I realize it's a waste of my time. You have to be willing to return a bunch to find those $2.00 2 min surveys. I kind of enjoy the hunt, even if it can be frustrating. Because sometimes I'll be able to do 10 hits and be good for the day. I'm a survey kind of person.

exactly the worst is throwing back a $5 survey because it'd take 2 hours. yeah i'd like to make $5 but if i'm only making $2.50/hr, fuck that

That is really good for week 3. I made basically nothing until week 7 for various reasons.

 

Have any of you recieved your mails from ARRC? I was thinking it would have sent me a confirmation mail after replying.

 

I sent mine late.. so I expect to not get in... but I haven't heard anything either.

If I dl panda crazy, do I need all 3 scripts for it to run?
