Guys, I'm new here. I was thinking about doing Mturk as side work in between food delivers. I guess I'm mainly looking for the "grind it out for pennies" work that have lots of HITS, but you can finish a hit in 1-5 minutes. Are there usually a lot of those? What should I look for? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Also, if I'm doing a long survey, is it possible to pause it or do you get timed out after a while?
I've been turking for awhile now and recently started a food delivery job, so same boat! It's working out nicely. There are quite a few batches with very short hits, but make sure to check their TO (turkopticon.ucsd.edu/) ratings for "fairness". You'll stay qualified for more hits if you keep your approval rate high, so you don't want to do a bunch for a requester who's unfair and rejects your hits without reason. I recommend batches by Alexandria, Vision AI2, ipsoft, Emily Wilson, Hannah Rashkin, and Noah, and also Rowan Zellers if you can get the qualification. They are all extremely fair in my experience. As Nikoratos mentioned, Amazon Requester Inc. is good, but they do reject, so be cautious.
There's a time limit on all hits, and most surveys will time out at 1-2 hours max. You can leave a survey for awhile and come back to it unless it says at the beginning that you must complete it in one sitting.
