i can do it from home, in my jim-jams, and work when i want to. (plus, no dealing with humans!)
no, the pay isnt great if you're new.
but the more work you put in, the better off you are
when i started i probably only made 5 bucks a day. then as i completed more hits/got better quals, and learned "how to turk" my goal was 10 a day. then 20.
my absolute minimum daily goal is 30 a day (on weekdays, i dont usually do weekends unless there's a great requester posting)
but i've already made 300 in 4 days for this week.. sooo. yeah. stick with it.
like kryss said, check the daily hit thread!
make friends with us, read everything you can, ask questions!
