    Hi, started MTurk yesterday and actually not hating it. Only at 7.90 earnings and 13.55 reward goal (how are these two numbers different?) but hoping that creeps up fairly quickly.

    Looking to really get into it in order to clear myself of debt over the next 6 months.

    How is everyone?

    The reward goal up top is what we refer to as "Projected Earnings" or "PE", it's how much you'll make if all the hits you've done approve. The earnings on your dashboard only counts hits that have already approved and paid. If you don't get any rejections the earnings should eventually catch up to what you're reward goal showed. Reward goal will reset every day.

    If you haven't started working with scripts yet, I suggest checking out this guide here: Super beginners guide to scripts

    Feel free to stop by the Daily Thread. That's the busiest part of the forum.

    Hello and welcome. Make sure to check out the daily thread if you haven't already. You can pick up quite a lot of tips/tricks just hanging around there and it's usually a good time. It's a little quiet on the weekends, but it'll be lively again tomorrow.

    @CorvusSapiens beat me to it so I deleted the rest of my explanation. :slowturtle::slowpoke::slug:

    Also consider looking up requester ratings on Turkerview or Turkopticon. That helps you avoid bad requester.
