    I will say, now that I figured out your display of the hourly wage works on worker instead of www, I find it the tiniest bit easier to grind them for about 5-10 minutes at a time. It's nice to know how well I"m doing, when watching the pe bar inch up at .05 every couple of seconds is so painfully slow.

    Still wish there was some kind of keybind that would work on those damn hits so I didn't have to use my mouse so much.
    I made it past part 1, got invited to part two, gave them my email and worker id, and now i'm waiting for them to give me access to the program.

    I had to email them because I didn't have the part 2 qual. They got back to me in like 15 minutes and asked for worker ID and then granted me the qual. Give them an email, PM me if you need the address.

    what was your problem with it? Mine spontanesouly ended at a 3.40 bonus, we always gave every round and there were 3 connected to me, so it seemed short, but I still filled out all the questions at the end....did mine bork too? I felt like 3.40 was a low bonus given how great everyone was being.

    Being a busy bee is absolutely how you make more money on here. Make no mistake, even the people that make a lot who claim to be lazy are still "around" or have scripts doing a lot of behind the scenes work. In my experience, the people that can't seem to ramp up to what the average person makes here don't spending enough time paying attention. If you read this board every day, there is no reason why you shouldn't be making at least $30/day just on exports.

    Once you get that base under you, it basically comes down grinding, scripting, and getting closed quals. You better be good at least one of those things if you want to make it to the next level.

    I would guess maybe that a lot of your HITS approved are from batches? Just watching your video the other day, inspired me that batches can go quicker with the right knowledge. Surveys, on the other hand, are a very opinionated area, and sometimes I do risk the unknown HITS quite honestly because there nothing else grabbing or popping up on my radar. Granted I'm still trying to figure out how to read the radar, but rest assured I know these surveys are important for research and I give my attention to do it correctly.

    I don't have OCMP quals so I don't write scripts for them, but if it's one of those with a bunch of radio buttons, my multibind script should handle them. I've shared that a handful of times in the FB group and I think once here.

    Same for me- but I am determined to do this. Like Wimplo said, some batches I love and can just keep doing them, many others bore me to tears and my mind just wanders, I can't stand doing more after I have done 40 -500. Also, I am too picky. I want to work on stuff I like and skip stuff I don't and often times those are the money batches that show up day after day for months. For me it's not work ethic, I spent many years in upper management and worked 60+ hours a week- other times in between real jobs I worked 2 jobs- work is pretty much the place I have spent the most time at in my adult life because it's where I got my accolades- it's the mindless repetition of Turking that gets me and I just start thinking about other things...lol

    ***This isn't directed at anyone, though it shares some common terminology with some posts. I feel I need to say that to avoid looking like I'm singling people out.***

    If your reason for not making money is the inability to concentrate or grind for long periods of time, consider that it would be much harder to be homeless. If that's not a concern (whether due to a S/O's income, a primary job, etc), that's fine... but please realize that you're privileged in being able to "choose" to work at half-effort. Not everyone has that luxury.

    Sometimes you need to stop and think and figure out the best way to make money. Work smart not hard. 10 days into this I made 76 dollars in one day. I was just reading reddit post, and how people can only make 20 and thought to myself nope thats not gonna be me.
