Hits tend to distinguish very fast. You need to constantly look for the availability of Hits. Some Hit Apps are available for one time some are for a few days. Very Few Hit Apps are available for a long time. It is advisable that if you are not having tasks available on your main long-term projects like Internet Assessor/ Ads Assessor or Map Analyst make the time for UHRS.

Terms

HIT Apps – Hit Apps are like projects. A Hit App contains tasks and all the necessary information a judge needs to know like the number of tasks/hits available, earning per hit, time a hit takes to be completed, guidelines, preview, etc.
HITs – Hit App contains tasks that are called hits. A task in UHRS is called HIT. No. Of available hits in a HIT App are updated every 15 minutes.
Spam Accuracy – Valid judgment you have made out of total judgment. When you are doing actual hits, HIT App throws testing hits to check if you are following guidelines or not while working. Spam accuracy is derived from your score in testing HITs. If your spam accuracy is low, you can be disabled temporarily or permanently from doing HITs on a HIT App.
Train – Some HIT Apps may require training. You are required to train yourself by doing sample HITs before you encounter real HITs. When you complete a training HIT. HIT App will show a message about whether your judgment was right or wrong with a logical explanation.
Qualify – After completion of training, you are required to pass a qualification test by judging HITs they already know the answers of. There will be a certain number of qualification attempts varies with HIT Apps. Obviously, you are supposed to score well on Qualification Test. Reading guidelines and instructions really helps here.
Start – If you see this button, you no longer require training or pass qualification and are ready to judge. However, I will advise you to read the guidelines before you start judging.

Start attempting tasks you are qualified for. Initially, after a few judgments, you should go to the report section to check how good you are going and if spam accuracy is above the required. Each HIT App has its own rules. Some HIT Apps will disable you as soon as your spam accuracy goes below 80% while some may allow you to continue even if it’s as low as 55%. Don’t rush through tasks. Don’t be greedy. Take your time and try to be a good judge. Your reputation may bring you more tasks. HIT Apps and tasks are updated every 20-30 minutes. So keep refreshing after every few minutes if you don’t see available tasks.

To avoid temporary or permanent suspension from using a HIT App, always perform tasks you are really good at. Pay attention to guidelines. Better find other tasks relevant to your liking if you see too many red alerts during training even after reading the guidelines thoroughly.

Tips

Stay logged in for an extended amount of time. Cover more time by partnering with a friend. Avoid disqualification while working on a Hit App. Pass the Qualification, even if no Hits are available. Some Hit Apps are not for you. Getting banned from Hit App is normal. If they make changes or come up with new guidelines for that particular Hit App you will get a chance again to qualify. If you are banned from Hit App for the first time it is normally a temporary ban and asks you to come back tomorrow. I advise you to wait for 7 days as Hit Apps consider the last 7 days’ Spam Accuracy.

How Much Money You Can Make on UHRS?

It depends upon a lot of factors like your skills, availability of hits/tasks at your location, etc. I have done tasks that earned me $7 per hour and then I have participated in tasks that only made $2 to $3 per hour. You can expect a pay rate of $3 to $6 per hour. Earning per HIT depends upon the difficulty level of HIT, the skills required, and the time it takes to be completed.
