Multiple study ends before Thanksgiving and the potential payout is $16.00. I had trouble initially installing the app. Tablets or smartphones only.

Glad you posted this, I forgot all about it and didn't install the app yet!

 

[HelloHello]

New pay issue aside, I'm pretty happy with Amazon today because I contacted them about having to wait ANOTHER week for my order they sent to a Khol's pickup place (and how that ever happened ?????) and they are overnighting it.

It said something about doing it by 7 pm. Anyway, probably good you waited because they had to revamp it.

At least there are some instructions now!

Hey guys, I asked this last night but I didn't really get any answers so kind of hoping for a little insight here..

I'm quitting my job in 2 weeks and moving to a new city with no job lined up yet, probably because I'm an idiot.

For you full time turkers out there, what is your typical day like in terms of earnings?
If you'd rather PM me to discuss this, i'd appreciate any help.

Just trying to make sure I won't drown financially... lol

Your situation is so eerily similar to someone I know that it's making me

Florida. It's just the same in that they just put in their 2 weeks just yesterday and are moving states w/o a job lined up

I'm in Georgia. Never know, I've seen weirder coincidences!

Are all the full-time turkers usually off by this time or am I asking a question not often talked about here? Not new to mturk, new to here

 

[afallstarxfall]

I returned that one. Too many dots in those plots. Made my brain twist.

It wasn't too bad, I'm glad I remember some stuff from excel and stats.

 

[HelloHello]

Sayonara - 2 User Testings, my $75 Discussion.io and a nice smattering of low paying surveys and I'm done for today. Getting that app installed for Affective Science frustrated me greatly.

The forum is generally deader in the evening, and the weekend is coming up so it's gonna be even quieter. I know lots of full-timers that make 100+ per day; sometimes it's easier and faster to reach that if you have good closed quals and they happen to post that day, or if good batches happen to post on a given day. Otherwise it could be an all-day affair grinding surveys or semi-decent batches.

Ugh, I think I am going to give up on installing.

If you're doing in for an iPad I can try to assist.

Thanks, but I am doing on Android. My setup data wasn't received, sent email for help

Gotcha, thanks for this! I usually hit $15-30/night after work which isn't enough to sustain me obviously but I may have some optimism that I can survive if I do this full time for a little while!
I'm not all too aware of what batches to look for as it seems they usually pop up in the daytime, so I guess this will be an interesting learning experience.
I haven't exactly given myself another option anyway

Waiting to see how long it takes someone to make @aveline regret adding the new reactions

Does she also get to add the new emojis or is that an extra charge every time the emoji organization releases new ones?

I'm not sure if it's really a good idea to compare yourself to others without really knowing their quals or skillsets. It's not easy to make a livable wage on this platform and I would suspect that the vast majority of people that are making the larger amounts have a lot of good quals and have spent years honing their skills and improving their work flows. Just because someone chimes in and says "I turk full time and make x amount" doesn't necessarily mean that it will be that easy for someone that's just moving to full time. So I would just be mindful of that.

We're also heading into the slowest time of the year and people probably won't be making in late Dec/early Jan what they're making right now. It's really tough and having just one or two good quals could be the only thing allowing you to cover your bills (depending on what you require).

I'm sure people have already told you all of this and I don't know what your MTurk situation is like, but I just want to make sure you're aware that things very well might not go the way that you plan. One of the worst things about this work is just how unpredictable it can be.

To answer your question though, I try to shoot for around $80 per day, but it fluctuates wildly (I made nearly $300 yesterday and not even $20 today). I could go higher if I need, but I'm lazy and enjoy my free time (I also spend a ton of time here), so I usually just make the bare minimum of what I need to live off of. That said, though: I have masters, a decent amount of very old quals, I can make my own tools and scripts, and I have a social circle that helps with all of that as well and can alert me to stuff. That all really helps. I've seen people make decent money on here without all of that, but it's really hard. That requires a massive time commitment that will probably eat up your life and burn you out very quickly.
