12/18 - Wubba Wednesday!

[SisphyeanTurker]

Morning all. First day back in three days. Let's see how bad it is during this wonderful holiday season.

The good batches usually don't last too long, people just fill their queues up with them with their PANDAs. If you spend time around here you'll figure out which ones to put in your include list (hint hint Madeline Enos should be in your include list).

Are you referring to the Include List on HIT Finder? I'm still figuring out all these scripts and haven't figured out how to save requesters I like in any way.

 

[Poisontea]

The most important advice to remember with batches is to always make sure that if everything happened to be rejected that your rating won't drop below 99%. When you get a big cushion, this becomes less of a concern, but when your numbers are still low, a mass rejection can really make it hard. Digging yourself out of a shit approval rating is not easy. Once you have a lot approved though, you can take a lot more risks without stressing over it.

Thank you! I'm just having a hard time getting my numbers up because there aren't any batches that wouldn't be risky. Hopefully once the holidays are over I'll be able to!

Yeah, in HIT Finder go to Include List -> Add. For name put the Requester name, in the Match field put their Requester ID. So you'd put "Madeline Enos" in Name and "A3LXH16EN3Z0YM" in Match. Then you'll probably want to click the notification and pushbullet boxes at least (and the sound ones if you plan to step away from your computer) so things will pop up on your screen the second that requester posts a HIT. You can try to hit accept when the pop up comes up, but for batches, you'll definitely want to grab the HIT ID and set up a PANDA as soon as it pops up.

It took me a while to get used to things too. Did 150 HITs my first week for a whopping $3.11, but am only in my 7th week now and am pulling in $30-50 a day depending on how hard I want to work.

I'd have to go look to find some of the batches I've used to get my approved HITs up, but one I did a lot that posts every few days or so is MASARU SATO (A10I6C2K39JKEM), they have 0 rejections or blocks reported and usually post a few thousand at a time. Usually have to look at a picture of someone and click the button corresponding to hair/eye color or something for $0.03. Can roll through them at least.

Thank you so much! I hadn't been able to do it because I didn't know what "Match" meant.

Nope, I never change them unless I'm forced to, which is why I'm really weirded out. Changed it to a more secure pw for now at least.

In my case that is usually a bad cookie problem, it happens about three or four times a year. I just delete my history and give my computer a restart and it just goes away. It really bothered me when it wouldn't let me get into to my online bank account about a month ago, but I did the same thing and it cured the problem. I just think it's a cookie, it could just be something else in my history that I need to delete.

Does anyone know can you still transfer to your amazon payments account if you have not set up the other yet? I now have the big orange banner to set it up but was hoping I could transfer what I currently have today before setting it up.

Yes you can still use amazon pay if you haven't set up yet

 

[PandaThief]

Yep definitely feels like the holidays are hovering over us today

You can ignore the banner until January 15th. I just transferred this morning and I haven't changed anything over yet.

About 30 mins, very passive though. Good HIT

@lil queen trashmouth, good to see you here this morning, my Friend.

 

[HelloHello]

Have you or anyone else changed the password on any other Amazon affiliated sites? If you change it on Payments or regular Amazon or Audible, it will change it for everything.

It's happened to me a couple of times. When I asked Amazon they said it was part of their security protocol to verify identities and it happens periodically.
