I've been lurking today and got some insights/tips from the forum today, thanks. I actually created my account a few years ago but never really did much with it (about 90 hits). Now that my husband has retired though we could use a little extra money so thinking I might try this again. Maybe if I can get to a point that it is reasonably profitable I might try to get him into the loop on it but I need to show him it's worth the time. I did a few hits last night and tonight but was affraid to go hog wild and have a bunch reject if a whole batch was messed up.

This led me to a question on the 411Richard hits. On 411Richard Fix Mistakes hits I saw the instructions said to include coupons/rewards, the two hits I pulled and looked at had items that were actually missing prices too. Does anyone know if these just need the prices and coupons added to them so the totals at the bottom add up or do they need the rewards (like "Kroger Savings") added to them too? I'm skipping them for now, open to suggestions on what else to grind on to get to 1000 hits and have more opened up (off to look at the numbers thread too, I know some are there).

Thanks!!

Hello and welcome. MTurk is like a lot of things, it can be profitable if you put in the time and effort to learn the ropes.
You are starting in the right place. This is a great group of people.

I would definitley read the thread that says "Start Here" It has a lot of good information. One of the most important things to learn to use scripts and Pandas.

I don't do 411 and can't help you there. You should try the "numbers" thread and add those to your Turkmaster to get good safe numbers hits.
Let me link the threads for you

Welcome! :wave:

411richmond are known for being communicative. It might not hurt to try asking them your questions, they should be able to help you out the most.

You can contact them by going to today's date on your dashboard and clicking on their name, it'll take you to a contact form that you can then submit. Their reply will be sent to the email you used to sign up for your amazon account that's linked to your mturk account.

Another task from them that I completed a lot of myself during my grind for numbers is their verify single value HITs: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=389X50RO3UCP2CYKCYM14K9RJJI439
To get any you will need to panda though
