11/26 - Saving Saturday!

Well the 'how' is in the post, isnt it? Like exactly which HITs, by which requesters and how many of each lol. If you need to work faster, macros, scripts and either Hot Keys (PC) or Keyboard maestro (for mac) are good. Macros are easy because you can just have it record your action as you do it and then repeat on your command. You don't need to know another language like with a script (although it does help, since you can write them yourself).

 

Reading help threads helps heaps. Instead of asking 'how', ask yourself 'what can I do to turk more efficiently'.

 

Adding to this, google "hit scraper with export". Play with the configuration. At minimum set your minimum pay limit, set it to auto-refresh, and turn the sound new HIT on. That alone should carry you to a few bucks an hour most hours.

Ted and his feisty codenames.

 

Help threads have helped push me into the 10-15 a day range while being under 500 approved hits. Wouldn't be near this far without the help and generosity of other turkers

 

Yes, and (to add more) that would be threads at mturkgrind, obviously. Everyone has the same usernames. If you want to make the kind of money other turkers are making, find their accounts on MTG and read every single thing they've ever posted. And start at the beginning, everyone is more helpful when they're new.

edit: note that by 'helpful' I mean inadvertently so as well. So pay attention not just to what they're offering, but the questions they asked when they first started out.

lol, they posted a feisty kangaroo last december. how are we supposed to remember (sans HIT DB) that?

 

I haven't a clue. I'm under the assumption they think we all have superhuman memory. Like damn. I can't even recall what I ate for breakfast this morning*.


*Just kidding, Had Burger King nuggets.

 

Anyone know if PRI transcription hits still get posted regularly? Those were my favorite back in 2014...

 

Hey @Jagdpanzer.......................................................................

 

I'm still reading up on threads dated 2014. Even "antiquated" threads are incredibly helpful.

Can't lie I read through the bulk of your early posts when I first joined

 

I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop and the new owner to take MTG offline entirely.
Where's your MotM sash, by the way? You're the last of the MTG Mohicans, may as well be recognized as such.
