    Well i spend a lot of time on mturk because i dont have any other job at this time. So work full time on mturk and try to earn about 15$ daily on average(that is 750 INR) good enough. :)

    When I began turking it was about an hour a day, maximum. Now I'd say more like 3! Once I began making money and being able to buy cool stuff(like my flat screen computer monitor- I was so proud and happy when i finally could buy that!) I could never afford otherwise I found it served as quite the motivator to put some extra time in each day.

    Sorry, I didn't get it exactly (my brain being on the slower side now-a-days :(). Does it mean that you employ 10 people to work through your account?

    That's what I too would like to know. The pay sucks so how could anyone employ people. What's their incentive?

    Exactly... if you divide it up anymore you'll be making about a dollar an hour! Not to mention that it's so easy to sign yourself up that it doesn't seem like it would be worth it to give part of your salary to someone else to avoid that hassle.

    The thing is, in other countries $1 US is worth a lot more, than you think. And if one person has a computer with an internet connection out of 100 people in the area, then something like this could happen.

    Don't you think Amazon is going to have problem when one account is used by multiple members?

    I'm currently unemployed, (lost my job about a year ago due to downsizing). I get up at 7 am everyday, and spend about 3-4 hours looking for a job. When I'm done with that, (usually about 11 am), I start turking. Based on what hits are available on any given day, I usually do hits till I get tired, (sometime after Midnight). The latest I've stayed up turking was about 4 in morning. So, to answer the question, I turk well over 5 hours a day. I'd say I turk between 10-14 hours a day, EVERYDAY...

    Just out of curiosity, how much do you make on average during a week turking that much?

    On topic of the poll, I didn't respond because my answer varies greatly depending on when you ask me. I'll go anywhere from turking 10 hours a day, to only turking 1 hour the next day, to perhaps not doing it all all for several months. Lately I'm probably getting in about 6 hours a day for the past few days.

    My highest total to date for one week is $117.68. I haven't been doing it long, so I'm not as quick as I could be. Getting better with each passing day, though.

    I just started about 4 days ago so I am still learning this whole thing. But I have made about 12 dollars in 4 days. The first day i was on here all day trying to figure it out but other days im on it about 3-4 hours.

    I am hoping to spend more time at it since I stay home right now.
