    I already did, but the shrewd and the quick got a peek. Its not like any of them were actually secret. All of them were on my scraper for at least a hot second.:bananastache:

    Just curious, but how does everyone find these "secret batches"? I am not asking for anyone to give me batches or anything, just curious how you guys find the batches you like? Do you stumble across them with dumb luck? are you constantly searching for available HITs with the most available and just trying them all out? Are they all common knowledge? combination of all of these? etc.

    I ask because surveys for the most part are burning me out and I've had some good weeks when I catch a long batch where I can hammer out a couple thousand a day, but it's SO rare, and then they seem to be gone forever lol(like the A9 shoe ones a few weeks ago. that was my biggest week to date)

    C-SATS, Inc1$0.69

    Is an example of what it would look like if you wanted to make it impossible to see what batch you did.

    Always Be Qualling. There's no real secret, just try to find something good, and always do Qual hits when you can, because you never know.

    The batch we're talking about definitely isn't a secret. No quals needed. It has TO. All you had to do is look at hits available.

    Well I think we're talking about the same batch. I was going only on the pay per hit

    Tell me if I'm far off the mark, but for batches I just use Amazon's interface and sort by most HITs available. go down the list and see what looks good, or what quals I can pick up on the way.

    Hacking the Gibson as we type.

    Hitscraper or whatever its equivalent is where I initially find everything. I don't even bother with Hit Notifier/Forum exports because I've already seen it if I'm looking for it, or in the case of big surveys there is a very low chance I will get it. Being able to program macros and scripts also helps. For instance the a9 matching batch was super easy to do if you had it scripted and paid well as long as you did the HIT quick enough, but since only a few dozen could do that it stayed live for a relatively long time. I think I made around $100 on those a9s.

    I almost never use amazon's interface... you could be doing that far better with hit finder or hitscraper.

    I don't really use anything special on hit scraper other then making it so that it shows stuff I'm not qualed for. (I still hide master hits though because I don't have masters :salt:)
