Some good requesters, IMO, are: p9r, tagasaurus, and crowdsource (the ones under $.20, the $1.00 ones are a bitch). Then receipt ones are good as long as they are verifying data or doing a summary. I avoid any of the receipt ones that have you entering line by line receipt data. I like copytext also, but haven't been able to do any of theirs recently.
Then, when mturkforum is up, go to their great hits/todays date thread. There you will find a lot of good surveys to do, and often they post how long the survey took to complete so you can decide if it worth your time.
Until you hit 100 approved hits, then you are pretty limited in what you can do. Then there are additional stepping stones when you hit 500, 1000, 5000, & 10,000. I would do the really cheap quick ones until you hit 100 just to get to that point.
My favorite is eyeapps, they literally pay you to read jokes, look at comics, or watch videos & then rate them. You need 100 to do them though & their pay isn't great. Right now they have over 65K in hits available, but they will be gone probably in less than a week. They show up again every few months though.

Please, tell me it is legit and worth it Requester: VidAngel HIT Expiration Date: May 7, 2014 (7 days 20 hours) Time Allotted: 24 hours Reward: $30.85 HITs Available: 1 Description: You are going to be tagging negative content in "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" by muting and skipping the content with our tagging tool. YOU MUST COMPLETE THE HIT IN 24 HRS! Any Turker can tag VidAngel YouTube videos after completing the training. To be able to tag Movies and TV Shows, first complete 3-5 YouTube HITs and then request the "Premium VidTagger" qualification. Search "vidangel youtube" to find these YouTube HITs. ------------------------- Sounds unreal to me. Do I have to get qualified for each hit? If I was on my personal computer, then I could look up VidAngel & tell you how they are rated by workers, but I can't do that right now. I wouldn't touch this one though. Too much work & too much risk. If you do it wrong, they don't have to pay you & you could easily waste 6 hours of work trying to figure out what you are doing & do the hit. So how do you choose jobs/hits correctly?

So how do you choose jobs/hits correctly? A combination of experience, trial & error, reading mturkforum.com, and there is a script you can use on chrome or firefox called turkopticon that gives you ratings of requesters. Like when I said don't do crowdsource $1 hits. I learned that by doing one once & it took me something like a half an hour and was miserable. So I wasn't having fun and was earning like $2/hour doing it . I could also tell you to avoid the requester MELI because they reject everything. So try a lot of random ones & see what you like & what pays well. Don't be afraid to return a hit if it becomes obvious that you don't know how to do it or it is going to take way longer than it is worth. Every once in a while you will find an awesome group of hits & make some good money. Research Tasks once had one where you write 1 sentence describing what you see in the picture that paid $.10. I sat and did those for a few hours straight - Mike and Jenny are having a picnic, Mike is kicking a soccer ball to Jenny, Mike is being chased by a bear, etc. It was awesome & easy.

No, I do not have masters. Here is my stats: HITs You Have Submitted Value Rate HITs Submitted 19845 — ... Approved 19815 99.8% ... Rejected 30 0.2% ... Pending 0 And pay history: Earnings To Date Value Approved HITs $1,686.04 Bonuses $59.78 Total Earnings Show earnings details $1,745.82 I got an account years ago when they first started. But, I didn't do much. Last year I was really hard up for cash and figured out how to use the forum, Turk Opticon ratings, etc... and I use Turk for cash when I can't find work elsewhere. My highest earning day was $100. But, those are rare if there aren't any good batch requesters. Also, weekends and when school is out tend to be slower times on Turk. Most of the surveys offered are by college students and when their school is out then there isn't many decent surveys up. Other great requests are: Agent Agent PickFU Two Lakes You can also set HITs to auto-accept from a certain requestor and then work through your queue to make more money!

Nice Job on the stats Although depressing to see that many hits still doesn't get you a masters, which means I will probably never get one.

When you accept a hit look at the address bar. Do the HIT and set it to accept the next hit in the batch. See how the address bar changed to "autoaccept=yes"? You can put any requesters number in that string and their hit will auto accept for you. (Edited to add - you need a open tab on your browser for it and an auto-fresh add on for the browser as well) Also, if want to hog HITS from a fast moving batch? - Do the above, work the HIT, set it to accept the next one, then hit "reload" or "refresh" on your browser and keep doing it. You can accept 25 HITS and then go back and work on them in your "Hits assigned to you" queue. This is the reason a good hit goes from 1000 to 0 in what seems like seconds. Everyone loads up their queue that knows how!

Wow! That is an awesome trick. Thank you!
That does explain why some go so quick.

To make any real cash on turk requires a lot of tricks like that. I love the forum for that stuff. As for masters, there are some with 10K who have it, and others with 200K HITS that don't. It seems to be a crap-shoot. Some think it is dependent on the HITS you do and that some of them are qualifications for Masters. I gave up trying to figure it out.

It is amazingly interesting but Agent Agent and PickFU are paying $0.04 - $0.14 per hit. How many do I have to complete earn enough for a book or lollypop?

I have used Mturk since late 2010. I would transfer all of my earnings to amazon gift cards to pay for my twins' diapers.
here are my stats-
Earnings To Date Value Approved HITs $2,425.34 Bonuses $88.35 Total Earnings $2513.69
HITs You Have Submitted Value Rate HITs Submitted 11957 — ... Approved 11929 99.8% ... Rejected 28 0.2% ... Pending 0 —
i am tutoring part time now, so I don't do much Mturk now. When the tutoring stops, I will get back into Mturk. I usually sort by newest, then key words like "university" and a minimum pay rate.
I agree that Two Lakes is awesome, as is Agent Agent. I also like Taste of the World. There is a plug in called turkopticon that you can use to read feedback on requesters if you are unsure of them. I also frequent turkernation.com, a helpful forum.

I'm not familiar with those requesters, but if you can do say the 0.14 hit in 30 sec, then you can complete them at a rate to earn $16/hr. If it takes 1 min each, then you earn $8/hr, the equivalent of a low paying job. Maybe not great, but not bad for something you can do any time day or night while sitting at home in your PJs while watching TV.
