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

Managed £8 on prolific today so very happy

Fab @StudentHelp. I've had prolific open most of the day and haven't had anything!

Thanks mumofone - did you find the time they record is much less than what you have actually done too? I know the notes says it is inaccurate but it's showing me working 2 hours when I have done 4!!!!

@NCforsafety Mine was short by 30 mins yesterday.

Thanks Buster - think I'm going to carry on logging my time as I am as my productivity rate is fine for the hours I'm doing. If I get the categorisations right that is......

@Madre77 thank you so much for your reply. I just realised that the email from cloudworkers was stuck in my junk for couple weeks and I missed 7 days deadline to send them signed paperwork back. I just emailed them asking if its possible to still send it, I really need this extra job at the moment.

Experienced Appeners: how do you keep track of how many hours you do each day? Do you keep a spreadsheet or take screenshots as you start and finish? I did two 45 minute stints today and took screen shots for the first stint but then forgot for the second one so just wrote the times down. But there must be a better way?!

I think I'm going to effectively give up on the Appen thing. There's just no way I can do the required hours, plus it's making me feel really stupid - I just have no idea what to do with some of the stuff that comes up. I did the weekly quiz and got 9/13, which although it said was a 'pass', it's still not great really.

@CatHopeful Today was my first day doing Appen and I really felt like I was winging it and a couple I also had no idea what to do with. I'm hoping it gets easier!

I'm Appening away but I'm worried my accuracy sucks. I have no idea what to categorise things as sometimes. I seemed to do a lot of none of the above earlier. I'm hoping it gets easier and they don't bin me in my first week!

Has anyone ever been stuck on the 'status information' page on Appen? 1st time being accepted on any project, got srt email & joined. When i go back to main website i can't click or view any projects, just stuck. So frustrating.. please help me :(

With the user metrics, it updates on the hour. So if you started at 7.30 then at 8 it will show 30min then won't update to 1hr 30 until 9

@CatHopeful I got the same in the quiz

@seizethecuttlefish yep I've got the same concern, just plugging away for now and hoping for the best.

@rhij86 mine never updated.. I did 4 hours yesterday and it still shows as a couple of minutes under 3.5. I was hoping they were just dodgy in general but maybe it's something to do with the fact I got randomly chucked out at one point.. who knows!

I would track your own time as a lot of things don't count towards billiable time.

I got 9/13 on the quiz too!

Well looks like I'm not authorised to view the page anymore.

@seizethecuttlefish same for me, it actually cut off while I was working.

@Buster27 me too. I messaged to say I hadn't been able to dump my work but I'd recorded the time. I hope it's just a glitch.

@Buster27 @SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock which project ladies?

The deer sounding one

The one starting with a I for me

Yep i'm on the 🦌 one too!

oh no :( sounds like it might be a wider glitch if it's across multiple projects! Hope it's fixed soon for you all.

Am I the only person repeating, "please be a glitch. Please be a glitch" in my head? I really don't want chucked off the first ever thing I've got on 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'd set some time tonight to do it so failing that, what else can I be up to...mmm.
Clickworker, intellizoom and testing time...here I come. You lot have made it so I have to be busy!!!
