To jump onto what Shelly is saying; you have to trudge your way through 5,000 smaller tasks to get to higher paying tasks. The thing about MTurk in the beginning is that as you do tasks you're going to lag on what's accepted/not accepted because you're learning what you can do quickly, what you need to do to get to eventually higher paying tasks and trying to make sure everything is quality and accepted.
Shelly is right about setting a goal. Hitting a $1 goal per day is a great idea, you'll eventually get to the point where you'll get higher paying things you can do.
Unfortunately, I've seen some of my friends make the most money when adult sites post their needs on MTurk which is up to you if you accept it or not, but gotta put food on the table and tires on the cars you know.
I would like to thank Christy for her suggestions related to using turkalert.com to find meaningful jobs at Amazon Mechanical Turk, and I would also like to thank Shellyann36 for her suggestions about setting a goal first before doing any jobs on Amazon Mturk. I'm not an American but I do have a social security number which I got while working in the States on a J1 Visa. I wanted to join but changed my mind when many people said that you couldn't make much money from the site, and I looked at the set up of the site, and I looked as if it was true. I will bear these suggestions in mind and try to find out more about it before I join. Thanks again!

I use mTurk but I've never made a whole lot (last month I made about $47, I think) but then again I just do it sporadically. I don't work it like a job. Some people do but those people are usually able to do stuff like transcription and writing and stuff like that. I've given transcription a shot and it's harder than you would think so that doesn't work for me. And I love to write but only about things I like. There is a site I always check out before getting on there called TurkAlert.com and people post the good tasks that are worth doing on there. It saves you the trouble of digging through all the tasks to find them.
I also have a browser extension that shows you ratings of requesters so you can see if they are really bad about rejecting work and stuff like that.
I've heard of people making around $47 on the regular. When I was doing it, I put in about two to three hours a night and I think I had a $1+ per, so it's possible. Like I said, you just have to find the highest paying for the least amount of time to invest.
