Let's top up our bank balances for Christmas! It's the October earn £10 a day thread

[Otterses]

Saw a few newcomers place marking on the previous thread, so a big welcome to them

Christmas is just around the corner, and I'm sure we all could do with the extra earnings to pay for Christmas and keep us out of the January slump.

I'll copy and paste the first post of the previous thread as soon as I'm at a computer.

Has anyone got any targets in mind? I'm aiming for £20 a day, then hopefully £200 or so of 'extras'.

@ChubRubTub don't worry, I think everyone felt like that! It's really clear when you get going. It's half an hour and you have to do 60 so keep a tally- you will easily do 60.
Noise is just no risk.
I think there is leeway for the accuracy to begin with. Read up on never ever events though when you get started. You will be fine, good luck.

And I don't think anyone here has been kicked off, although I could be wrong. I'm sure people have in general but you won't!

Thanks @justtheonethen. I really hope it all becomes clear!

I didn't get 100 per cent in all my Versal courses, so I'm not sure how accurate I'll be.

@ChubRubTub that's what the training is for though, and even if you make a few mistakes on the test they will just tell you to read up on them. Honestly don't worry, you will be totally fine.

Morning all did someone say there was an appen global where there were smaller jobs etc or has that gone now? I've done all I can - got 20/20 on crisp but heard nothing 😔 I'm on respondent/intellizoom/prolific/Appen/ and am looking at isosoft. The qmee surveys bored me stupid - too long winded for too little £ and clickworker is also very hit and miss. I am just sorting out paperwork for Cloudworkers but am a bit 😏 at the thought of doing that - is it ok or quite grim? X

@aliciawhiskers I'm new to this thread but perhaps they want a UTR, unique tax reference, 10 digits, which you get by calling HMRC, or it is on your government gateway if you have previously done a self-employed tax return.

@ChubRubTub good luck with the test, you will be fine. Make sure you keep to hand the slides with the definition of all the categories and then you can refer back to them if you are unsure. It is pretty straightforward if you stick to those.
@Buster27 sounds like you and I are at about the same stage with it. Think it’s going to be something to just keep plugging at and hopefully get faster! I am still inspired by @justtheonethen and her fantastic success with it!

@Elmosonfire I'm still fairly shocked at it myself . Honestly though I think it's just a case of lots of practice and eventually you just know it inside out and get quick.

@justtheonethen I am so impressed! Now you know you have unwittingly inspired loads of us to follow your lead! At this rate though, I will be lucky to earn a tenner a month let alone a day

@Elmosonfire 🤣. Keep positive, you will be raking it in soon. I don't know which queue you work on but I actually found mod2 more straightforward to start with. I find monitoring quicker now but still requires more brain power.

Can anyone see any jobs on click worker?

Can anyone see any jobs on click worker?

Nope....

I can still see the clickworker robot job but just can't get it to work. I give up!

same here @Moremoneyplease

Me too on clickworker x the robot job is the most frustrating thing ever as I've posted previously x

The robot job isn't working for me either. I've messaged support but they're never that quick.

Has anyone done the Amur project on Appen? Wondering about spending 500!

I was just looking at that myself seizethecuttlefish and wondering the same....

I've done Amur twice and signed up for a 3rd, it's fab. I've never spent more than £200 though as sometimes there aren't many options.

I've had some good stuff but equally a lot of dross from China! Definitely worth doing if you can afford to though.

Thanks @SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock I've done the qualifying bit. Just waiting...here's hoping.

@SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock What's Amur? Do you have to pay to take part??

@Moremoneyplease I can't say much but it is basically mystery shopping so you have to pay upfront for the goods but you get reimbursed later.

Appen question, if you're going to be accepted onto a project does it usually happen immediately (eg your suitability is determined by a computer automatically) or does it sometimes happen a few days/weeks after you apply (,ie your application is actually checked by a person)?
Ta :)

@rhij86 sometimes instantly but usually months or never lol!

@spockpaperscissorslizardrock
Haha thanks! Was wondering if I don't get the email immediately should I just give up hope! Have applied for uolo too, would be a great earner if I got onto it.
Holding back on setting up my training for cloudworkers in the hopes I get something good with appen. Although I am nust waiting to be set up on the rating tool for inari-uc!
