    Hi,


    My name is Rich. I'm 37 years old and disabled and in a wheelchair. I cant use my hands due to my disability. But I use my mouth to type. I use a mouth stick. I'm on SSI and only make $750/month and only qualify for $50/month in food stamps. My rent and utilities come to $700/month. That only leaves me with $50/month to buy personal items. With food prices the way they are I dont eat much after the 10th of every month. Now I graduated from HS with honors, so I got the brains to do anything I put my mind to, I just need to be pointed and shown how to make the money. I'm on here to make $200-$300/month extra cash to last me to the end of the month til my next SSI check.


    Nice to meet u guys and ladies.

    Good luck! $2-300 is definitely achievable, it doesn't take too long to get the swing of it, but the first few days will probably be low-paying as you learn the tricks.

    Besides looking at the forum, "mturk list.com" (it's all one word, without quotes) is a great place to find work to do.

    300's not hard. shoot for a hundred a week, i can mostly do that, even with weekends off.
    don't worry about dollars at first, first ten days get your hundred in every day, so you come out of probation with a thousand cleared, or close to it. that first thousand helps a lot as far as what you can do.


    you may not make your 20 every day, but some days you mmay hit a nice batch or a couple lucky 5 dollar surveys and double it

    Agree with this, also check out www.reddit.com/r/hitsworthturkingfor

    These both are good places to get your foot in the door. I suggest with the use of a mouth stick, depending on how quickly you can work with it, you keep in mind how long the work timers are (they vary in length from a few minutes to hours). I would probably also suggest starting off with surveys.

    Here's how I search for surveys, however you can adjust the search terms accordingly:

    https://www.mturk.com/mturk/searchb...urvey&minReward=.25&qualifiedFor=on&x=24&y=16

    "search word: survey, minimum reward $0.25" and tic the qualified box, or you can just bookmark that link. I suggest starting by "sort by oldest" and work to the top, since you're new there's gonna be a crap ton of stuff you're qualified for that won't be posted since it's been sitting around a while, then once you've gone through the things that are worth it, sort by newest and catch the newer surveys when they're posted.

    Check out the link in my signature, it's a brief walk through of scripts, what's worked for me. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or if there's anything I can help you with.

    i work down with surveys, i've got alerts set up on 3.00+ i'll usually check 2.00, then down to 1.00 and do them until i'm sick of bubbles. i seldom have to go under 1.00 during the day through the week.
    usually i just find surveys out of the greatest hits thread
    also it's worth searching "bonus" that you qual for. occasionally find nifty stuff like that.
