Oh. lol I rarely read the thread titles.

 

Nothing. It's patriotic, a symbol of overthrowing an oppressive regime attempting to enforce uniform thread titles. Down with @ThisPoorGuy !

 

Same. I swear I wouldn't notice even if the thread was named "07/03 - AlexZ Sucks Big Time".

Was wondering if anyone could tell me how their earnings change over time? Did you make more in the beginning than you do now? Less? I don’t need to know how much you make, just how your earnings fluctuate. Primarily interested because I’m closing out my first 4 weeks here. I started it as a thing to make some spending money. I don’t have a full time job. I’m a self-employed government contractor and only work 3-4 months out of the year, during election times. It’s extremely stressful and I’d like to possibly give it up if I can match my income here and if my first month is indicative of future earnings I can do that. I have PTSD and the conflict I have to deal with at work just wears on my anxiety. If this isn’t the correct place for this please let me know.

If you did good on your first month then I don't see any reason why you wouldn't do even better in the coming months as you learn more and more.

I can't guarantee anything obviously but from what I read, you are already on a great path with it.

 

Daily threads are easily the best place to ask work related stuff Though you'll generally get way more diverse answers to something like this on a weekday, not a ton of folks hang out for holidays since work is slow/etc lol.

That said MTurk work can be seasonal as well.. if you make a large portion of your income from academic studies they tend to follow academic calendar patterns. So not much around holidays, luls in between conferences/semesters, etc. So it can be hit/miss there.

Businesses that use the platform extensively tend to build themselves a trusted worker pool (closed quals) and can make it more viable as a FT sort of thing, but even that isn't perfect as they tend to have projects with a definitive end date to them (especially AI/ML type work).

Work ethic absolutely obliterates any of that shit though. You can generally ground & pound yourself out of a bad day, but it's just as stressful (if not more so) than anything else out there.

That said.. generally your first 1,000 HITs are abysmal from an earnings perspective (relative to what they could be).. too many restrictions and lack of knowledge. If you're actively working on your worklow, picking up tips/tricks, etc your earnings should increase as your efficiency goes up and at the beginning that should be pretty fast.

But nothing about MTurk was designed to be a FT income, so you just kinda have to accept that making it so puts you into an extraordinary tier of worker.
