Hi folks

[cosmosplat]

Cosmo here (a nickname I've long used in the online world). I've been Turking since March 2019. Now at 25K+ HITs done and 99.86% approval. I did a lot of penny HITs to cross 10K quickly, then burned out a bit. Now that I've discovered this forum (and Otto) I'm Turking like I've never Turked before. I think I could really make somewhere close to a living doing this. I look forward to learning more and more as I go along.

Happy Holidays to you all.

Hi! Welcome and glad to have you here! MTurk is my only job so it can be done.

Welcome first and foremost! It takes a lot of work and dedication but I think with Otto you could make a living off of Turking, just don't stop looking for and getting all the qualifications you can! Hope to see you around on the DHT and don't be afraid to pipe up if you have questions!

Welcome! Whew, that sounds like a lot of penny hits! But you put yourself in a good place. Otto will definitely increase your earnings. Have you visited our sister site yet? There's a Page Request Calculator there to help keep your PREs down if you're using other scrapers as well as Otto.

Thanks, folks. I did take the plunge with Otto and joined as a Tier 4 member here because I'm serious about making this work, and I felt that there had to be a way. So far, Otto seems to be the solution. I had a great week Turking (probably my best ever) and look forward to sharing here and seeing the software develop further. I'm hoping that the boost continues in future weeks and on slower days, too.

A special "hi" to ZeldaFoot because (1) my wife and I have a late-life-rescue 16-year-old Aussie Shepherd mix named Zelda, and (2) I'm originally from Georgia.
