Mturk tasks limited each day? Can you change the limit?

I signed up for Mturk about a week ago and I thought it was going to be a great thing because I have already made around ten dollars in just a few days. Untill today though, I was not reaching my daily maximum I guess because I got cut off after doing about 65 tasks that paid like a penny each. I then got a message telling me to try again tomorrow! For the first time in forever, I was really excited about an online site and now I find out that I am limited to how much money I can make there in one day too! How can they expect to pay so little and then limit you? Does anyone know what the daily limit is and is it possible to get it changed? I was really hopeful to make some good money working on that site everyday..

maybe it would depend on the HITs that you are doing. ive been on mturk for a while now and i have never gotten a notification like that. can you tell me waht the name of the task is?

i dont get to do as much as 65, maybe around 15. i do dolores labs hits that pay more than .10 each. my favorites are the 'how relevant search results' and 'twitter emotions'

Oh, OK. I have done a few of the dolores labs but many of them I can not do because of my IP address. I noticed that those do pay a little more than others though. I have never heard of the twitter emotions one..how does that work?

I am also a member at mturk and already made a couple of tasks and having around $10 there..this is one among other micro work sites I have but I have little time to work daily on them so they are just in my basket and I do work when I have some time and seeing my income growing in each of them and will withdraw at the end of the year..but till date did not know anything like this...some day back I got 100 hits of writing 150 words articles which I could have completed making good money but suddenly some work came and I could not complete them...but still happy with them because of their trust.

Yeah, I do think that there is potential to make some good extra money however, I am still trying to figure out why they limited my hits. I sent an email asking them but have not heard back yet. You should have a good bit saved by the end of the year..not a bad idea actually. The articles are good but, I am always concerned they will be rejected and I will be waisting my time. I like the ones that are more based on giving correct information rather than how talented my writing skills are even though I am confident of them :)
