Really excited but have a couple questions

[Crabulon]

Hey guys I've been doing mturk on and off for a couple months but recently I've decided to really try and do this the right way. That being said I was kinda dumb at first and I'm sitting at 300 approved HITs, but my approval rating is at 97%. I know the 1000 HIT guide says that I need to do numbers HITs that don't reject your HITs but I'm not really sure how you can find that out. I have all the recommended scripts and extensions, so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome. Look forward to learning all about this stuff and hanging out with you guys. Keep it real.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing you around!

This thread is a good place to start for safe HITs to get your numbers up: http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/pandas-to-keep-you-working-cheap-numbers-hits.155/

Do you have Turkopticon installed? It's always a good idea to check what other workers have to say about a requester you're unfamiliar with.

Any @Mentor have more tips?

Hello and Welcome to MTC! :aikon:

The thread @ItsAmyTee mentioned has some great suggestions. I did tons of Jimmy Dragon business card transcription HITs when I was trying to get to 1k a few years ago. They are safe. You will get there in no time!

Best of luck and happy to have you here!

I am really new like just this week new and it seems like I am limited to only being able to do 100 hits a day could someone tell me is this only until you get 1000 hits or is there other guidelines I could not seem to find info on this and really want to increase my earnings

You can only do 100 a day for 10 days, and then - after 10 days, you can do as many as you want (until you get to 3800, a day

so right now I am doing about 250 a day but on some of them it seems to limit the amount they are letting me do I have just been doing the hits available to me to find the ones they will allow me to do is there a way to get more hits available or it this something that just takes time

did you go through the steps to verify your account (have them deposit a penny or two - that whole thing)?
