    That's unfortunate, but what do you do! Thankfully I only did 5 before someone suggested I check TO..

    The only thing you can: learn from it. You should check TO before you begin working, and if there is no TO, do a test batch of one or two, giving it your best quality. At the same time, you get your numbers up so you can take a higher number of rejections while staying in the 99% range.

    These are what are saving me today. Made a goal of $20 and am only $7 away from it. They have approved all of mine and paid the same day.

    I did the same thing yesterday and they didn't reject them. I felt the same way about if I got rejected, but they didn't. Now I know what I am looking for and it goes pretty fast.

    I started one then, after realizing there were over 9,000 pictures per HIT, I returned it.

    It says in the instructions to skip them. I had one where the last 20 were like that so I skipped them and it was accepted and paid.

    LOL...There is 100 and that is why it took me so long to even do them. Now I can do a hit in about 2 minutes or less. Once you do it a couple of time you just fly through them.

    you can fly through them if you go through the entire set first, just pick the ones with animals, if any, and then just tab->space through the answers setting everything else to 'no'. just watch out so you don't change the ones you set to 'yes'.

    Just got activated this morning. I've done about 30 and only 3 have been approved so far, but hopefully the rest go through fine.

    Sounds like this has been a slow day judging by what you guys have said?

    I'm home most week days and would like to try and make a good deal of money off this. Would that be plausible if I put forth hours each day?

    Yeah, it can be very lucrative. You just have to be patient and willing to work hard at it.

    I've got plenty of patience. Seems like it can pay off pretty quickly once you start getting in the 1000s completed. I can just pop on sports talk during week days and do this for a few hours.

    Works fine for me!
