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'.

@margaritasbythesea

Haha.. I heard back immediately, saying they are reviewing it or something and will let us know.. Is that the email that you received??

Sorry my post sounded a bit if a boast. I didn't mean it that way. I got accepted but it's probably because I have a degree in the relevant area.

Place marking.

Made about £40 last month. Hoping for anything better this month!

@margaritasbythesea

Noooooo I was laughing at 'niflewhatsit'. You didn't come across like that at all

Hi everyone. Newcomer here. Can anyone help with a list of sites to try like appen. Are survey sites any good?

Interested in this! Place marking

Don't worry FrenchDoors I was objecting to myself, not you!

@tinatsarina

The list posted on the last post of the previous thread is fantastic with recommended sites on it, it's linked to upthread in the first few posts.

I'm not a huge fan of surveys personally, I think it depends hugely on if you're the 'right' demographic. Some people get dozens of well paying ones, others get very few for peanuts. I think there's more reliable income streams out there rather than depending on surveys

Hi all I am also new to the thread.

Can anyone tell me what the micro tasks are on appen? And how do they pay you?

I am totally new to it all.

@margaritasbythesea
I will watch my wording next time though

@Nutellalovesme

If you Google "appen micro tasks" and scroll down (the pic I've added is the page you should see) you should click on that part then. You don't get paid though for those, I did one on there a while ago where I had to listen to someone saying a sentence and had to type in the box what they were saying. It's kinda like an idea of what you would be doing on appen itself.

Downloaded the clickworker app so I'll see if I can get anything done on my day off

@frenchdoors1 is that different to the normal appen site?

@rhij86

Hi.
Yes it's not the actual appen site that people were talking about yesterday, (the nifflewaffle one) It is small task's this one.

I don't bother with other survey sites apart from Prolific. Too time wasting and you end up on the dodgy click throughs that have catalogues and what have you thrown at you. Mind you, Prolific is dead at the moment. Initially I was clearing at least a tenner a week, if not more, and now it's threepence ha'penny for 15 minutes of tickboxing. Nah.
I'm on Respondent but apart from one that they approached me for because I'm an English teacher (and which I couldn't do because I was teaching English at the time haha) I haven't had anything.

Thanks to a lovely threadster PMing me I am back on Clickworker having resolved my "multiple accounts" problem.

I have no projects on appen at the moment but there are those tests. Should I be doing them and does that make it more likely to get other projects?

@Frenchdoors1 thanks I've just signed up to that one too. Do you get much on there?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't micro tasks the same as Appen Global? I thought that was being absorbed into the main Appen Connect site? I am sure I saw a message to that effect not long ago and I was paid for a job I did on Global last month via my Appen Connect invoice.

Anyone on the innari-C project on Appen, have you received an email saying they're changing the task and now you'll be rating Instagram stories instead? Same pay and length etc.

Ahh, for the appen micro tasks.. I'm pretty sure it says on there that you don't get paid,and it doesn't get you more work if you do them, think it's like practising what you'll be doing on the actual appen site. There is a longish list of tasks, it will say different languages, I presume it means if you can speak other languages then you can do those ones.

@Wolfff

I am not 100% sure about your query but when I googled appen global and Appen connect separately, I'm sure it said they are the same thing now.
I have been confused with all that too.
How I personally see it is that it is all one company, not 2 separate companies, if that makes sense.
Although I could be wrong, but if any of you can Google these 2 separate appen then you should be able to see what I mean.

I think Global was another company that was take over by Appen but kept the existing site for a while.

@Wolfff*
Yes, your right. That's what I read too. But is was too early in the morning for me to get my brain working...

Can't pass the crisp test! I've got 16 and then 18! Annoying
