Last year was my first year with MTurk and I came out with almost 3k with just evening and weekend work. Then the new site launched and pretty much shut me down. I stopped Turking all together. I started getting everything setup and all my research lead me to Turker Hub. Looking forward to working with everyone!
If you haven't already I suggest looking at MTS: https://github.com/Kadauchi/mturk-suite and also installing panda crazy for pandaing. Between the MTS extension and PC you should have all the basics covered.
Welcome back to turking! Once you adjust, it really will be just fine. Pay attention to the daily threads to see how others are working, and ask questions if you can't find answers.
In one post you basically got all of my scripts back! I had PandA working, but was still missing things like Hit Finder. Thank you
Also check out https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/36368-hit-forker You might find it an interesting alternative to MTS's Hit Finder (which it was dare I say was spawned from)
