    I'm fairly new to this, but I am thoroughly setup the best I can be from what I understand, and I have been on the Mturk platform for over a month now. I've been working out of the MTurk Suite. I can see reviews, warning flags, pay rates etc. from the Turkerview community. After a full month of working on Mturk, while filtering results to be only what I'm qualified to do, I'm barely getting any HITs to work on... I don't have anything to put into my Panda Crazy queue. Not only that, it seems to be low quality stuff. That being, things that only pay a few cents and/or bad reviews/warning flags from the community.


    With a strong Prolific background, I would prefer to work on Surveys/Studies. What can I be doing to accumulate more HITs? I'm trying to work on getting more HITs to become qualified to do more. I made a dollar something total my first week and only half that in my second. My third and fourth weeks weren't much better.


    I'm really counting on Mturk for medical reasons, so I really appreciate any help or advice. Thank you for any guidance.

    Mturk is the better platform to work and earn money online in my opnion, when you get qualified in some hits. I can help you, I'am from Brazil but I earn about 500-600 per month on the platform, if you are from the US, you can take double without problems.

    Reaching the 5000 hits mark will open up a lot more jobs for you, as well as the 10000 target, you also need to keep your pass rate higher than 99% as most good hits have this required qualification.


    If you have questions you can text me on whatsapp +5541998074979

    Any tips for me, I'm in the UK, over 99% 18,728 hits completed. But i still cant catch some good hits. Seems to be just low paying and rubbish ones! I keep an eye on the qualifeye but don't seem to get much from that?
