    Got that first-ten-day blues. Made the mistake of working for a requester that I didn't know had a reputation for rejections.
    Trying to get my percentage back up but I hit that dirty 100-HIT block within an hour.
    So in the meantime I'm testing for whatever qualifications I can find.

    Hows everyone doin' today? Got any tips for a newbie?

    If you somehow claw your way back up to >99% approval and stay on the platform I suggest making sure that you don't do more hits for an unknown requester than you can afford to be rejected in the future.

    Lesson learned. It's sad that p9r rejects so easily, because I genuinely enjoyed doing them!

    I hope I didn't totally screw myself.

    I did contact p9r to see if I could get some of the rejections overturned

    Welcome!

    P9r does have a reputation for reversing rejections sometimes, so hopefully you'll get at least some of those back. Definitely be careful early on to try to avoid rejections until you have some more buffer.

    I switched to A9 verifications and business card transcription to try and get my numbers back up. Still waiting for the A9s to be approved and then we'll see what it does to my percentage. It was such a bummer so early on!

    Welcome to the forums. Was going to say that you should switch to the A9's while they are up. They are great for numbers.

    Got myself back up to 97%, and rising!
    I'm just bored as hell because I'm in the first ten days, and I can blow through 100 HITs in no time...
