(I want today $5, $10,etc..):rolleyes: Don't accept before you read all instructions by the requesters. (Even you done that HIT before.) Don't stick with a particular Requester forever.. Don't take risk on new HITs less than $0.10. (if u want to take risk,then do only less than 5 hits. don't do more than 15 until you can't sure about that hit right or wrong.) Don't get Lazy with reading the Article size Instructions. (They are well explained step by step procedure in most case.) My way of Mturking is searching...,searching...,searching...,searching...

Thank you for the tips. I've worked hard at MTurk, but haven't earned that much. I would like to know, can you begin to get some better job after you have done 650 hits? (that is where I'm at) I like data entry but sometimes, it gets boring. Thanks!
@goodtaste +1 yes go for more and more HITs and you will get more and more requesters. Good Luck Goodtaste
Here's a tip on improving your rating. I got 8 rejections from a highly unfair company called Quality website reveiws. (avoid them because their acceptance status is highly ambiguous) Needless to say, my ratio went down below 95%, as i am still new and have done only about 350 hits. anyway, a great way to bounce back from this is to do Basic Caption Requirements Review HIT-s by Redwood. Sure they only pay you 0,01 / HIT, but they approve them almost INSTANTLY, and you can do a huge batch of them if the task is fresh. So, if you ned to get your ratio up, give redwood a a try.
Hit Abandoned..! Hi friends, "A small note about HIT abandoned". Once a HIT is accepted, if it's not submitted right away, it remains assigned to you and you are given the opportunity to resolve it at a later time. To submit these HITs, you will need to go to the "HITs Assigned to You" link at the top of the Mechanical Turk website. From there, you will be able to view and submit the HITs that you accepted and did not complete. You may want to make a habit of checking this before exiting Mechanical Turkto insure you resolve all of the HITs that were assigned to you. HITs that haven’t been submitted will remain in this tab until either you submit/return the HIT, or the allotted time to complete the HIT runs out. The HIT will then be considered abandoned. Thanks to Riaz Bro.
