Are there many people in MTurk who know both Chinese and English? I am trying to set up an English-Chinese translation task like this
https://worker.mturk.com/?filters[s...1&sort=num_hits_desc&filters[min_reward]=0.01

The task seems reasonably paid and is quite simple, but there were not so many people working on it.

 

I'm going to imagine not, to be honest. Though I honestly wouldn't know. Perhaps it's in some MTurk literature somewhere.

Try pulling and reuploading your qualification HIT every so often so workers who wouldn't otherwise know that it is up get a chance to see it.

Perhaps even increasing the pay of the qualification HIT for those who qualify and do 50 some-odd HITs, say $5-10?

Surely a small bonus is worth it for a qualified worker.

 

Thank you for the suggestions!
