    I'm not sure either, I probably haven't spent more than 30 minutes or so on today and I've made $5.30 from surveys and one quick batch HIT this morning.

    So read you can get around $50 a day. Then my question what hits are you doing and how many hours a day does it take you?
    Ive been mturking off and on the last 6 months or so. Past $200 total. Most I ever made was I think $20 or so for a day. Doing surveys and bulk hits. Sometimes you just get lucky for that day and find good bulk HITs but dont last forever.

    Transcriptions from Speechink are usually a way to get guaranteed money from MTurk each day. Lately I've been able to get around $4 to $5 an hour from that, not counting surveys and such. Today I got around $23 counting surveys and transcriptions, (not counting bonuses from transcriptions).

    -Note on transcriptions: I only did four today, also, I have over a year experience now with Speechink and hear things very quickly and type very quickly.

    for the past 2 weeks i have been doing it full time, 6-8 hours a day and have made over $50 a day, at closer to $100 but that does not include weekends.. I look for specific requesters, keep in constant contact with them, take chances on new requesters and once a week load op on oscar hits to avoid my approval rate from taking ia hit in case a new requester screws me.. so far i have been very lucky and have not been screwed by a mass rejection or bad requester.. i also take lots of qualification tests when i can just in case the requester comes up with a batch hit.. most people hate doing certain requesters and their batches because they pay low or are boring or whatever, but its those requesters that keep me making money :) plus if there is a day when the work load is full i will turk even longer since you never know if the next day will be good

    Many of the people making that much are doing transcriptions and writing. If you are not a fast typist it is difficult to make that much. Check the stuff you are not qualified for and try to get the qualifications, that will open more work for you. Amazon Requester has some decent batch hits but they require quals.

    Very nice advice. This forum has been invaluable in showing me that MTurk is about more than transcriptions. :)

    timing also has a lot to do with it.. i have noticed certain times during the day work tends to load up but of course that is not a guaranteed method

    I've tried with transcription, but the people talking usually can't speak English very well so it's not worth taking a risk. I mean, do they expect me to understand someone who mutters every third word in a thick accent?

    The mind numbing batches are sometimes welcome, especially after transcribing HITs that involve people who can barely speak English with audio trouble as well, lol.

    I do about the same amount of time. How many approved hits do you have? I have over 1000, and I noticed my pay went up after that. I'll do any batch hits except for crowdflower. I loathe them! lol Do you do transcriptions as well? I've never done any of those because I'm afraid if I get one word wrong, I'm going to get rejected. I check on here and reddit.com/r/hitsworthturkingfor for most of my hits, but also look on my own as well. Currently, my highest day is $26.87. I really need to make more as this is my only form of income at the time being. :( Any suggestions?
