I'm guessing I Turk about 3 hrs a day, but it's hard to say. I flip over to mTurk periodically during the day, between emails, grading papers, housework, etc.
I generally work 1 hour on Mturk. If there's a series of HITs I can make it through efficiently and with a decent pay, I have spent up to 3-4 hours working on HITs. Currently, a set of favorite HITs just ended. I made over $200 this month and that's a record for me.
I'm currently unemployed, so like many others I have a routine I try to follow. Look for job openings, apply for those, then start Turking typically. I usually turk between 4-12 hours a day, typically closer to 4 or 5 thought. I'm kinda an insomniac so sometimes I'll stay up super late Turking, hence a few 12 hr "days".
mturk is not a cheat by us president mturk is not a cheating company, it is not a begging site, it is for poor people who can afford to do jobs as costly as 0.01 dollars, which is less than the begging rate in US.
Ohh.......you all are speaking about the time you spend with Mturk,I here want to know what work you all are doing here to earn money.I'm a new comer and I want to work like you people,please make me one among you by helping me,pleazzzzzzzz
Personally I spend about as much time as I can turking. I think it's better measured as a dollar amount vs actual time as I am a student who constantly is on the move. So around like 20-30 dollars a day. Samantha - Some people don't like to give out their favorite hits and it can get a bit competitive. I would recommend ContentGalore or other similar summery writing. But be warned, rejections are common. I usually expect 1/10 to get rejected. Put time into your hits and be proud of them before submitting. Follow the rules to the T.
