    Hey everyone,

    I am collaborating with a few other members on an FAQ thread to be in the Resources forum.

    If you have any suggestions, such as Q&A pairs, or questions you have that need to be answered, please post them below. We need these questions from the point of view of both experienced turkers, and completely new members.

    If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to PM me as well.

    Thank you!

    As of right now, no there isn't. Nobody knows when they will open it back up.

    Can I work on H1b Visa on mturk??

    Yes I have a question that i think should be included in FAQ. I am native of India currently residing in USA on h1 b visa. I want to know whether I can work on Mturk or not in my spare time?

    I think you may be able to if your income can be taxed. However, I am not an expert and you should really seek advice from Amazon.

    Hi, as a brand new Turker I found your FAQ extremely helpful. However, I have a few more questions that are not addressed in your current version:

    What are 'Qualifications' and how do you get them
    How do you get to 'Masters' level
    Am I right in thinking that I only get the low amounts because I don't have any 'history' yet
    Why do some of the hits offer $0.00 reward

    I'm obviously doing this in order to make some money and so far (just a couple of days) it just wouldn't be possible to earn anything like the people on the forum under 'what is the most you've earned in one day' I couldn't even make close to that in a week! Is there a strategy I should be following?

    I'd be really grateful for any help and guidance you could offer, I'm willing to work hard but I don't want to screw it up.

    Thanks for the FAQ and the video

    Absolutely, I'll try to get it all added in by the end of the weekend. If you need anything quickly, feel free to let me know and I'll try to get it done sooner.

    Ah, sorry I forgot about this. I'll work on it now.

    Can you explain your third question to me?

    It might be helpful to include something about the process of being paid, from the status of HIT being "pending" to "approved" to "paid". How long do each of those stages take? What do they mean? When can I get my money? I know this question has come up a few times recently in the Great HITs threads.

    Another topic that comes up a lot that might be good to include is the difference between a hard block and soft block, what each one means, how to know if you have one, etc.
