I'm a newb and spending WAY too much time turking (because I haven't gotten bored yet). Hopefully all of my pending hits will be approved. 3 of my bonuses are from requesters who rejected me erroneously, but didn't know how to retract the rejection. I'm not too terribly worried about my approval rating since I can pad with batch hits (hate doing those!) I would love some feedback on how I've been doing, I'm working in a vacuum here - none of my friends have ever heard of MTurk!
If you've made $250 here over two weeks you haven't been wasting your time unless you know of a better way to make money that quickly or faster.
Looks good. You said you haven't got bored yet! Just know as you go, the more qualifications you earn, the more hits become available, the more money you will make. So if your making $250. your first two weeks, your at a good starting point! Keep it up, and you will defiantly be making $300.-500. a week!
You are doing great! Anything over $5 a day is good for a newbie, at this rate you'll be raking in the cash once some more qualifications open up for you. Way to go!
