I spent months filling out surveys for Global something or other with nothing to show for it, so I think this is going to be much better :) If I could do this daily for 2 weeks I'm hoping to order my sons xmas present with the gift card. I like your blog, I hope you haven't decided to quit on it!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937415340633886084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129540882336622878.post-933183807314387232011-11-25T02:41:40.991-08:002011-11-25T02:41:40.991-08:00Paul,

It's slow going so far, while I am testing the layout, and you know, with traveling for the holidays and all. I plan on ramping it up once I'm back at the house in early December.<br /><br />I'd be willing to put up a link to your blog as well if you want.<br /><br />Feel free to check it out and let me know what you think:<br /><br />http://hitsworthturkingfor.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176795978045361345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129540882336622878.post-33083478632751502642011-10-19T10:58:43.217-07:002011-10-19T10:58:43.217-07:00I have been okay with MTurk.

I almost never get rejected now though. <br /><br />I think the problem for me is more that wages seem to be constantly driven downwards and it seems harder and harder to get decent paid jobs.<br /><br />There are other ways to make money, you are right, and some of them will pay you better in the long run. It might take you months, however, in some cases. The great thing with MTurk is that you get the money very quickly.<br /><br />I am using all my MTurk money at the moment to save up for my wife's Xmas present! :-)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125096218951977368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129540882336622878.post-2816819618785226262011-10-12T21:09:48.811-07:002011-10-12T21:09:48.811-07:00I think in the early days MTurk was a good way to ...I think in the early days MTurk was a good way to make money from home. I just think there are other methods which work better now. <br /><br />I put a job up on MTurk once and it was pulled because it broke the rules. I had no idea what I did wrong and was sent a standard email saying "Your job has broken one of the following rules..." and then they listed 20 possible rules I might have broken. <br /><br />It seems many of these sites link those who want work with those who will do the work, but they are becoming impersonal and will ban you at the first offense. For the genuine worker who wants to do the right thing, it's difficult to follow all the rules of the many websites.Naturally Idealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09538084754805212360noreply@blogger.com
