Hey there, I've been on mturk for a whopping 12 days now. The forums have been super helpful in getting started, but I realized today that I've been a total lurker. I posted once asking about daily HIT limits and then got sucked back into silence. Anyway, I'm not normally a quiet person so I have no idea why I would maintain that here. I'm quite a noob when it comes to the scripts and such. I did install TO on Chrome, and plan to add more as I learn. I tend to prefer to find batches of quick HITs to work on because so far that has added up the fastest for me. Figuring out which requesters and quals to go after first has been a bit daunting, but I've got a list of requesters I like to check for regularly and have found and attained a few helpful quals in the last few days. What brought me to mturk was that I quit my job because it was sucking up my soul, and I'd prefer to keep that (I'm a ginger, I should be collecting souls, not losing my own). This is one of a few things I'm doing for online work, while also starting my own hobbyist-type small business of making homemade cleaning products, and possibly some body/skin care products as well. I am still looking for a "real job" while I do this, but I'd love to get fast enough and strategic enough with my online work to where I can hold out for a job that I want to settle into for years to come. I'm also bizarrely excited to log on this Thursday so I can proclaim that I am "turking on turkey day."
