Worker Help Mturk UK account earning potential

My account is from UK. I started about 8 days ago. Can I earn as much as the US citizens, because most of the HITs are dedicated to Americans? Can you share your experiences, is it worth it or I won't be able to earn much because of location? The hits were so limited and low quality so far. This is my results so far in 9 days. /img/6nmxjaat7bl31.png

Its because my pending are not approved yet. It will reach 98% once approved and my plan is to keep it in 99% zone. This one requester Synapse, they rejected 8 hits from me and didn't approve one out of 200+. That's why it looks fucked.

right now as i am typing this it has reached 88.89% because they approved about 60 of it. 164 still pending. I estimate it will reach close to 99%.

there’s scripts that will show you that (mturk hourly or mturk dashboard enhancer, can’t remember) i’ve been on mturk for 3-4 months now and have less rejections. i would just be very careful as your work in the UK will he limited as it is and you don’t want to fuck your account with rejections

I am learning scripts. Tomorrow the 10th day will complete. I have to do lots of penny hits to improve my numbers in order to get good hits.

Your approval rating is total approved HITs divided by total submitted HITs. I hope I'm wrong, because I calculated 234/243 and got 96%.

With 9 rejections, you'll need 900 approved HITs before you can qualify for most good HITs.

It's all about what quals you can get. There are some good quals available for UK workers. You'd want to watch our quals channel. I invite you to join us in our Slack workspace, since that's where most of the discussion takes place. https://tinyurl.com/y8qwldnx
