Hi. I just started turking a few days ago and so far have $9 in earnings. Yay! I wish I had started this earlier. Anyway, I seem to have a lot of turks pending. Is this normal? What is the average time for turks to get approved/rejected? I've submitted 60 and have 44 pending.
Welcome! This is very normal! Some HITs will get approved very quickly, others take days. I've had a few that took even a week or two. Amazon will auto approve anything that is not rejected within 30 days. Just sit tight I even play a little game with myself to get my HIT count up quick..I try to always have 100 HITs pending when I go to bed This is a little harder for the first 10 days because of HIT limitations, but it helps me a lot now!

I try to keep over a 100-300 pending at all times. So that way I can get paid all day long every day. I have HITs Submitted 107297 — ... Approved 106654 Pending 300
