Just a few days ago,I signed up on mturk since I love doing some tasks just like in Microworkers. I said,it's kinda complicated in Mturk than in Microworkers. But since I am so curious on how to do some tasks/hits on mturk,I did what I know I can do and believe it or not, I did 99 hits in one day,yahu! And I've been paid for it now,exciting! So far, all the hits I've done are approved and I'm more inspired to do more,hehe! How do you find mturk? do you also llike it there? Any bad experiences you wanna share?

Hello there, I think also signed up in mturk several months ago but did not do any task yet. You are right, it is quite complicated so I left the site with no single task what kind of task did you do? I find some instructions "complicated" I might be in the oldens times yet

Hi irene! You should try doing one so you will get used to it. The first hit I did was the "yes or no relation" in a sentence. I just tried doing it since all you have to do is to answer yes or no,lol! Quite confusing though,hehe! But it was all approved,yehey! Then I did the hits of one task creator wherein you will read the submitted applications of persons who are applying for a loan and answer 3 questions like..is the person applying for a business loan or not? I did 99 hits of them and they were all approved,so happy for it! It cost $0.07 per hit. I also did some surveys last night with just 2 questions,so easy! Try it sometime irene!

Hi cthanum! You are right about it,I am only entitled to use my earnings to buy stuffs in amazon. But it's fine with me,amazon is a reliable site to buy online and there are so many products to choose from. I plan to buy some gadgets soon.

Hi there! Wow! You've already earned that much in mturk,happy for you! Can you please share me your experiences with buying in amazon? I plan to spend all my earnings in buying some stuffs from amazon but I haven't tried it yet even once. Is it okay buying there?

I have been buying from amazon almost since it first started without any major problems. The very few times there has been one amazon is quick to correct it - such as a few times when I didn't get what I ordered not only did they refund the money - they sent the order, too! Other mistakes - they gave me ten or twenty dollars store credit. So I can't complain as they have always been more than generous with the few errors that have occurred. I pay for purchases with gift codes or my bank debit card and it's very safe.

I have an account on mturk. I joined last year and I have to agree with you. I find the site very complicated compare to microworkers. So I left the site without doing any of their tasks.

I was hesitant to do some hits/tasks when I signed up there champoy but I said ,I wont be able to know mturk if I wont give some tasks a try. And I was surprised 'cause if it's your first time to do their hits,you will be on the training mode first for you to greatly and fully understand the task and you will still get paid even if you're in the training mode. I think you should try it first. When you're used to it,you will for sure visit the site very often then.

Thank you mtrguanlao. I guess I have to try to visit this site again. How much have you earn in mturk so far? I don't know what to do first in doing task in mturk. I really don't know what the process should be. Could you help me? Thanks!

And how do you get paid? LOL I would love details from ya!

Hi there! Sorry for my delayed reply,oh my! Been busy with some other things. It's good thing you signed up in that site as it is easy to earn money there. One sad thing I don't like from the site is I can only transfer my earning through amazon gift certificates. I'm not from US so I'm not entitled to transfer my earning to my bank account. But anyway,I plan to buy some gadgets for my earnings so I still allot some of my time online to that site. The 99 hits I did was when a task creator seek help from turkers to read some loan proposals to them and you just have to answer 3 questions like is the loan proposal for business purposes or not? That's why I was able to finish 99 hits in one day. I hope to see some hits like that again,hehe! I also try some surveys that are not time consuming and also some of dolores labs hits. Try those!

hello cutie, I haven't tried it there. I received a lot of invites from here and there sites (hahaha) But, I do not like to keep starting all over again and its taking my time figuring the new site. Unless a good mentor or referrer is there to guide me and give me good advise and will read the guidelines for me (hahaha)

Hello my dear jai! Haha,we both have the same sickness when it comes to signing up on a certain site,I usually just ask questions,not read their rules,lol! That's the reason why I started a discussion about mturk,seeking help from mylotters,lol! You can try it dear jai,if you're a member of microworkers,I'm sure you can do some tasks in mturk. If you need help after signing up,just ask me,I'm here to help you.

I really like mtruk. I think it's a really simple site for the most part and I like that I can choose to use my earnings for amazon or just put them straight into my bank account. I've never heard of microworkers, is it a good site? I think I might check them out too.

Hi quisha! You are lucky 'cause you can transfer your earnings to your bank. But it's fine with me,I plan to use my earnings in buying some gadgets in amazon. Microworkers is better than mturk,try it there!

Hi mtrguanlao sorry for the misspelled What I meant to say was I work on Mturk before I get out of bed in the mornings. There are a couple of tasks that I enjoy working on so I search to see if any of them are available and pick up money. I try to make a 1.00 a day. today I did not find the usual ones I like to do so I had to try some new ones. There was one that I tried and there is so much research on it and some of the questions did not fit the answers you could find so I did write them and returned the hit. It was for only 5cents a hit but there were like 20 questions you had to answer and the link to go to would not come up so I managed to bring up the site another way and then half of what he wanted was not available so I spent 27 minutes out of 30 minutes on the job trying to get to the site and answer half of the questions that were available needless to say not worth the 5cents. I did write the requester though and let them know the link was broken to go to the site and that half the questions he asked were not found on any of the pages you had to manuever through. So I thought it would have been a quicker job. do you find some of these jobs are rediculous for the few pennies you make? I really do try to choose wisely. Hate to return a hit or abandon one but I have done it when I could not make head or tails of it LOL

Hi there! Welcome here kabayan! I'm already 2 weeks now in mturk and so far I'm happy with my earnings but I just can't have enough time these past 2 days for my online works. That's the reason why I responded to you just now,oh my! I love doing tasks! It's just that sometimes my eyes are surrendering,haha! I wish I can stay and work more hours online.

Oh yes angelko,that's one thing I like in mturk,you can always do more hits in one category that's why I was able to do 99 hits in one category and it's even easier on the latter part since I'm already used to the work. There are also easy hits available,try it!

Hello there again mtr! Glad to hear that you are beginning to enjoy Mturk. Me personally, I like Mturk mainly because of the quantity of work available on there. A person can easily make a decent amount of money on there if they have the time and willpower. I try to spend 30 minutes to 1 hour daily on there. I've had a couple of bad experiences with my HITS unjustly being declined. That's just one of the few things that we have to worry about on there. Overall Mturk is ok though.

Hi my good friend! That's one thing I like on mturk,lots of available works to do and you can even do more of the hits from one task description. I know I will encounter such issues like what you have said,just remember the name of the task creator and don't do tasks under him/her again. See you around friend!

Mturk is one of my favorite sites to do work for online. There are lots of good requesters there. You just have to be careful of the ones who might reject your work. I recommend the TurkOpticon plugin to anyone who wants to use Mturk. It shows right on the Mturk page what other people think of that requester. You can get it at http://turkopticon.differenceengines.com/.

Hi there! Thanks for the warning. I've checked the link you gave but I haven't installed it yet,I'm afraid it might slow down my laptop,yay! Sometimes it's hard to download some toolbars,they slow down my laptop. Have you been rejected before?
