    I'd like to know what my fellow European turkers think about their favorite requesters. It seems like the best paying hits are always US locked.

    Hey man, welcome to the forum.

    Truthfully, I think like 95%+ of our active userbase is American haha. I'm not real sure on non-US turking info myself, just wanted to drop in and say hi and if no one has a good answer to this its 'cause we're all silly Americans :p haha.

    Yeah I expected at least a few European mturk veterans to tell me how they get by, because even with all the scripts and what not as a European you really can't make more than $20 a day except if you're lucky. We have very few surveys to make money from so unless you do brainless batch work for 12h a day its tough.

    I think Crowdsurf is international? It's garbage pay, and I think you can do the same tasks directly from them for a little bit better pay, but if you get a fair batch it's probably $6-8 an hour, more if you get really lucky and its hundreds of back to back hits of old tapes of models not speaking set to music. And if you're in a far off land it probably would be helpful to build numbers, and they don't reject.

    Then again, you can get a batch of heavily accented Indian professor slurring math or multiple people talking over each other in a state congress and at that point you might as well quit trying.

    Yeaaa I got 800 points on crowdsurf's test so I guess I cant transcribe. But even then I'd have to rely on luck to get easy HITs. People in the US have it easy. :emoji_grinning:They can make 50 - 100 bucks a day just from surveys from what I'm seeing. I wish there were a lot of researchers pumping out surveys in Europe as well haha.

    Not reliably.

    #1 - The more you do it, the more you run into the same surveys over and over, and
    #2 - Quite a few of the surveys that pay a decent $/hr. have very specific screening criteria.

    So don't worry, you're not missing out on too much.

    Hi,I'm from Europe, tried some hits today and can't get more than 1-1,5 USD per hour, are the hits for Europeans so low or I'm maybe too slow?
    Did some hits for amazon inc,ones taht you have to type the words for 3 cents/hit,i can only do 1 per minute.
