I don't really know how to push through, honestly...this is my only job, and I have a pretty low daily goal, and it's a struggle to meet that this week. And I can barely keep up with the work and stress from this kind of a simple thing...this is really depressing and upsetting and all kinds of icky.
it's not easy. it will never be easy. you're competing against alot of people going after the same small hits. you gotta stick with it and find your groove. I know it's soul crushing. But you will get the groove eventually.

Every time I do pins (that aren't spammies) I end up saving food ideas to my board. I don't think I have a good hourly rate with Pinterest, lol.
I'm glad it's not just me, lol! I don't use Pinterest, but I always bookmark all the yummy recipes I see while doing the Pinterest hits to save them for later ... lol. Today I've got 5 Ingredient Crockpot Chili, Chicken Taco Soup, Crockpot Chicken and Dumplings, Grandma's Perfect Jam Thumbprint Cookies, Billion Dollar Buttery Biscuits, Buttered Rosemary Rolls, and Double Crust Chicken Pot Pie (in a cast iron skillet, my fave). Oh, did I mention that I'm starving???

I've had my groove before...I had it last week and everything..even was able to take a whole day actually off! But not even being able to make a measly $18 a day is really really depressing, especially because I miss/don't have a lot of quals.

I've recommended to people before that if you have a talent for creating any kind of homemade stuff try to search for a flea market or craft show to do on the weekend. You will most likely be surprised. Seven years ago I started making chain-maille armor and jewelry and it kept me going through rough times and eventually became my main source of income. If you can do something like that it really takes the stress off from having to rely on turk.

this is a rollercoaster ride. your groove could be even better then that. quals are a matter of luck and being on at the right time . Very much a lottery.

Also, you have to try and get qualifications all the time. Sometimes its being at the right time that matters the most.

I crochet a lot. I love to crochet. But I basically use all my energy on turk during the week. I spend around 10 hours on turk, fully focused for a min of 6. If stuff was closer here (pretty rural and I can't drive) I might be able to do it. I made tons of presents for people for Christmas this year. A raptor and pony for my niece and nephew, a charmander for a friend, a dragonair for my girlfriend, a baby blanket is in progress for my baby nephew. It's stuff I really like and I'm pretty good at, but I usually only have energy for one or the other. I hope there might be something nearby, it's super rural out here compared to where I used to be.

(((hugs))) Hang in there. I can relate. Mturk has been awful for me lately, Chickfila has been cutting my husband's hours down to 18-20 hours a week, my car payment is 3 months past due, husband's second job has been cutting hours too, his last paycheck wasn't even enough to cover rent. It feels hopeless and scary but keep pushing and things have to get better soon! :(

Are you new to this, lots more hits open up once you hit 1000 hits approve, then 5000 hits approved. Look on the internet for other sources on work at home jobs. I can't give you any suggestions as mturk is my secondary income to my regular job.
