Nov 19 - Earn £10 a day thread - Christmas Countdown is on!

[obviouslymarvellous]

Will post a link to previous thread shortly!
Well that's it the countdown is on for Christmas (as far as I'm concerned anyway!)
Going to aim for more than £10 a day (I was around it for latter half of last month)
prolific has been rubbish this week
Doing very nicely out of intellizoom
Starting to Utest
Just wish Appen would give me a nice juicy project
Still not done Cloudworkers paperwork

Oh maybe I better give the other exam a go then, although it looks similar to one I failed so probably won't lead anywhere for me But its probably wise to have more than one exam passed I guess given how quickly projects can end

@mumofone2019 that's exactly what it says for me. I
have cleared my cache and rebooted my laptop but still nothing. I have raised a ticket but doubt it will be sorted until Monday at the earliest!

Does anyone know if we can continue to do neevo? I've been paid but I didn't finish all my validation tasks and it still says active.

@StudentHelp

Carry on doing them if it says active, I did a ton load, I kept going back to mine and they were there ready to listen to or record on.

@StudentHelp

As far as I remember they said it wouldn't pay out until the job was finished. No harm in emailing and asking though.

Thank you, I've done an extra 50 but I think I'll email them

Failed another appen test so I hope the one I passed doesn't end too quickly! These tests are making me feel silly. I have 2 degrees so would hope I am not too thick but in the 10 months I have been with Appen I have managed to fail 3 tests, one which I failed twice and then gave up Well done to anyone passing these, you have some serious brain power!

I passed one on Thursday then failed what seemed an easier one today! It’s nothing to do with brainpower, just following not very clear instructions and taking your best guess in some cases what they actually want!

I agree with @Wolfff The tests are nothing to do with being clever; it's about being able to decipher what they want from you, at the same time as not losing the will to live!

@anxiouswaiting don't worry about it, I passed all of them but with the last one I was pretty sure I was picking wrong answers as all available choices didn't seem to be right to me! And I've not heard anything about logins so even passing guarantees nothing. I'm still hoping that maybe crisp will surprise me before Xmas!

@anxiouswaiting Don't feel silly, plenty of people on here have failed Appen tests. I passed 3 of those 20 hour project ones, then did a much simpler test for another project and failed it twice! There was also definitely a bit of luck involved for the ones I did pass..

Just caught 25 mins of a 1.7 Crisp surge, that's the highest I've managed to catch so far.

@Wolfff thanks for responding. Are you finding the Trunkee project glitchy at all? It's like I find it hard to complete the ratings. When it asks about the overall feel it is just frozen. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Sorry for asking so much.

@GirlieMilfie I am on Cloudworkers. I have only been on it a few days. It took ages to get onto the platform but am not super impressed. I thought it would be super easy to send loads of messages an hour but I spend a min or 2 trying to grasp the conversation which is slowing me down but hopefully that will speed up. However if you can dedicate time as long as there is over 50 messages in the queue which there mostly is you can log on as much as you want so you can earn a fair bit. Hope this helps.

Evening all. Has anyone had any issues with Payoneer? I had an email 6/11 from Appen to tell me my payment is imminent so I thought I'd better remind myself how to log into Payoneer.
Since I last logged in, a few notifications have popped up and one is asking me for a photo ID. I don't drive, my passport has just expired and I don't have national ID card.
Has anyone else had issues with this? It's my first appen payment so I'm not sure when to expect it. Or if it'll arrive at all now!

@ArthurShelbysTash

I was thinking the same a couple of hours ago.
I thought.. Oh, I'll check if my appen payment is in payoneer or whatever (never used payoneer before) and it said about photo ID!
I don't drive
Passport expired
No ID card

I'm lost too!

@frenchdoors1 I was well chuffed with myself for remembering my log in details too! Wait and see then I reckon. I sent them a message asking them what they want from me and got an auto response, it told me to reply if it hadn't answered my question. It hadn't. Apparently they'll get back to me in 3 business days.
I let you know if I hear anything.

I'm just on there again now having a good look around the website and I was about to message them too.
Yeah, would be interesting to see what the outcome is although do you think that we may not even need to use payoneer!? It may just go through to PayPal?

I can't remember giving my paypal details to appen and I can find on the appen website where to check my details. I've spent far too long staring at a computer screen today for one reason or another so maybe I'm just missing it.

I'll pm you...

@Madre77 I'll PM you. We are not supposed to discuss the projects here!

If you are using Toggl to track time on the big projects take a look at the Toggl browser extension, and set it up for The Pomodoro Technique. Twenty five minutes working 5 minutes break. I'm trying it out to see if it increases productivity for me. (Won't work if the kids are awake!)

@Madre77 how are you finding Cloudworkers. I'm just about to send my paperwork back. I've seen on here some people saying that they make around an extra £500pm which would be incredible for me. But I don't know how realistic that is!
