    I'm wondering is it worth doing a 2 minute survey on your dating preferences for 10 cents? If it's just a simple opinion survey, is it worthwhile to ask for master workers to do it? What rate do masters usually ask for?

    There is no reason ever to restrict your worker pool to the masters qualification. You will have a very limited pool of respondents and pay a premium fee, and have no guarantee of quality or experienced workers.

    If you are worried about quality, try setting your qualifications to "Total Approved HITs is not less than 1000" and "HIT approval rate is not less than 98%".

    For 2 minutes, set your reward to $0.25.

    I'd go "Total Approved HITs is not less than 10,000" and "HIT approval rate is not less than 99%" with .5 as the pay for 2 minutes.

    That's just me though.

    Really? I was thinking about 2 cents for 10 minutes. That ultra rare masters qualification costs a whole 5% more to use. That's a lot! He'll have to lower his pay tremendously.

    By just offering it to Masters, you limit the number of people who can respond to the survey.
    I would set the requirements at say 1000 hits and let people know if your looking for a set age demographic or males or females.

    I really hate getting into a survey only to find I don't qualify because the poster is seeking someone between the ages of 21 and 40. And that's after I've accepted it than started the survey and have already spent 4 or 5 minutes before getting screened out.
