This might be too big of a question, but what tools or scripts do you like to use. I used to use QBC, but since I've been having problems with getting logged in the past few weeks I've just been using MTS. I like MTS a lot, but I feel like I'm probably missing a lot of good features. Like I tried to use Overwatch, but it wasn't really grabbing anything.

 

Yeah. I have not had any issues so far. The HIT states you can do all 200. I wonder why yours could be not working? Do you have an ad blocker on?

 

Ad blocker wasn't the issue. Didn't work in incognito mode either. There is one other report on a return with the same issue.

Oh well, I was about to call it quits anyways, guess this is my sign to actually stop working. Good luck with the batch!

 

Uh-oh, my fish is drowning again, gotta go. Good night, y'all.

I used to dedicate some time to finding quals. and I have always sampled batches. so I get closed quals. I didn't use any tools to make a dime today.

actually I did catch a $10 survey with hit finder. but then the survey messed up. then the survey expired. so that doesn't count.

also my fancy keyboard and mouse don't get here until tomorrow. so I made this particular $51 walmart and office depot tools style, no programmable anything and no scripts.

Okay, thanks. I'm for sure gonna put some time into getting all the quals I can. And I almost never do batches so that's probably a bad move to be mostly skipping them lol.

Pros:
Well spaced and not overwhelming to click through

Cons:
Definitely underpaid but will not take the 30-45 minutes it claimed. took more like 14 with me carefully reading everything as I had a feeling it was nowhere near as long as quoted.

The best workflow I've found not using QBC is using the hit catcher in MTS along with hit finder and this forum. I would have diff hit finders setup based on diff parameters, and for example a hit finder sorted by higher paying hits- I would hide the active hits and only monitor the logged hits. I would hit the O icon to panda any good hits without even trying to open them and it would add them to the catcher. Then I'd monitor all the reviews in these threads, right click on the "PANDA" link and add to the MTS catcher from the link menu. Actively do this all day and you can get some good flow going

I also tried using Stax a bit and its workable but not immediately obvious how to setup bc there is no documentation. It also only integrates with TO so its a bit limited, and it doesn't have much config options like QBC. You can specify TO ratings and auto accept hits to your queue without having to create pandas tho. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...craper/ffdlknlhakgbhhkigcemlcndcjjllled?hl=en

The value of your bonus is: $7.02 USD

The Requester included this note: Thank you for your careful work on our HIT.

 

Awesome, Thanks! I never thought about the multiple finders before. That seems like a really good idea. I'll also give Stax a try just to see if I like it.

When you setup Stax, be sure to go straight to the config and put some good values in the TO ratings like 3.0 or above, I use at least 3.5 usually. Otherwise you will get a crapload of terrible hits accepted into your queue right off the bat.

Stax seems good for setting up higher standards and letting it auto catch them, but based on my experience so far I would not rely on it.

Also be sure to pay a lot of attention to the good vs meh vs bad reqs. Favorite all green reqs, block bad ones.. make your life easier in your hit finder searches by getting rid of clutter and focused on the best reqs

I somehow didn't even know that you could favorite or ban reqs on the finder so that will be super nice.
