What type of hits do you do?

Oh, and I did answer verification on mturk a couple days ago. You make sure that the three open-ended answers provided on the 1-cent assignments are valid answers. They had 4,824 HITS on that, that evening. I was like, cool, I am going to try this. There were a lot of people doing them, and I made $1.53 doing it before the HITS ran out. dancia2007

I most often do the 1 cent HITS that ask for 3 open-ended answers on something. Sometimes there are 10 or 20 cent open-ended questions. Occasionally, there is an opportunity to place a social bookmark, for 30-50 cents each. Once you are member of del.icio.us or digg or some other social bookmark site, it doesn't take more than 2 seconds to do that. I have transcribed three podcasts, 2 nine minute ones and one 1 minute one. I have decided to listen to the podcast first, then see if it was mostly clear enough. That, and selecting the higher paid one to begin with. I wish mturk paid more, but this is a start. I once put a question on how mturkers earned money, and got great responses from the turkers. I paid 25 cents per HIT I think, because I wanted to pay something adequate and not take advantage of people. I saved this on my computer, but I have zillions of files and I am still looking for it. May have to do that again. If you post that type of a HIT first, to see what other turkers do for online money, I would love to know what the results are. dancia2007

I have been on mturk since it launched in 2004, and I really like the newer HITs that are available. I usually do the HITs from Geospatial Vision, most anything from Amazon Requester, and the oddball ones that ask for information or articles. I haven't really gotten into the castingwords and Enrovia HITs yet, but I might if I'm looking for something and nothing else is available.

well recently i hav been stuck 2 hits4pay....well its gud but its really a slow processes..so lookin for something new....

I like the GIS ones. :) I got a really good monitor for christmas (widescrfeen HD flatscreen) and I think that makes all the difference in graphical stuff like that. I also like the trivia questions, when it is on a subject I'm at least a little familiar with.

I'm a turker, I have tried a few, some of what you have mentioned, I will probably focus on the transcriptions. But I do enjoy doing some of the others and the things you come across is really cool. Always learning I say :) Have a Great Day!

I love the "choose best website for this item hits". Where have they disappeared to recently ?

I've tried the contract encoding thing and tagging of websites. I did quite fast earning $0.56 instantly. I just wish they could send thru international banks too so that I could really enjoy what I earned. For now the next thing I could enjoy is buying certificates then.

I seem to end up doing the Geospatial Vision HITs most of the time-- I look at other stuff, but I end up there. Sometimes there are some "free writing" responses that show up, and I jump on those-- like writing a review of a career, most recently. But it strikes me you often have to be "sitting there" waiting for news HITs to be posted, because the ones that pay well disappear in a matter of minutes. I haven't tried any of the podcast transcriptions-- mostly because I'm a pretty slow typist, and it seems like it would take me a long time. All in all, it's fun though, and helps underwrite my amazon.com "habit."

I tried the geospatial imaging one last night, and found it strangely addictive! I was wondering, though- it lists it as a 7 cent HIT- is that 7 cents per image you label, or 7 cents for each set of 50? If it's 7 cents per image- woohoo! But it takes me about 15 minutes to do the 50 picture set, so if it pays by the set, that's not so good!
