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

Does anyone know if we’ll be paid for any extra nerve ones that we do? I started to do more after payment but didn’t know if I’d get anything from it

Hope you get your hours changed @Otterses!

Phew, passed D on Appen, found it easier than the others I've done. Top tip, make sure you check the examples at the end of the guidelines as some of them may feature.. (I got one of them wrong before I noticed )

@Frenchdoors1 I thought the max was 1250 each?

@AliciaWhiskers
Yes, you're right, I'm getting mixed up with 230 of something else, although I cannot remember what

@StudentHelp
Yeah, i would imagine we'll get paid for the extra ones.

@Frenchdoors1 I wasn't able to go over the 230 recorded ones?

@AliciaWhiskers
Sorry, yes I just did 230 noisy and quiet. It's just the validation ones I've gone over.

So I figured out what I was doing wrong - not clicking submit so have done an hour and a half now to see how I fared. Very slow and I don't understand what to do with memes (if anyone would like to pm me I would be most grateful ) I have read and re read the notes and the one thing it doesn't really quote is memes (I'm on the I project) tried to join chat - page came up with error kind of sums up my week perfectly!

@obviouslymarvellous i managed to work for 4 hours without hitting submit. I was gutted when I realised!

I'm invoicing it anyway as my hourly productivity is well over target!

I should add that I have since done 8 hours properly!

@obviouslymarvellous I did the same thing yestersay, I was gutted!

How much did you folks make overall doing the voice tasks on Neevo? I got locked out due to forgetting my password and couldn't get it to reset, but now I'm back in so I'll probably do them!

Made £500 on Crisp last month, very happy with that. Hoping for an appen project.. also failed cottonwood and elk. 😔

@SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock @anxiouswaiting glad it's not just me! Hoping I will settle in to it - I've got so many qualifications to do too, just not sure when to fit it in between the actual task I'm on my other proper commitments and then I'm trying to study for lionbridge which by the looks of it will be a no - need another day in the week at the minute ha ha x

Yay. Just passed deskha on Appen. I gave up with cottonwood as guidelines wouldn't work. I've applied for so many I can't remember if this one is a big one? As in 20 hours min? 🙈🙈

How do you submit!? I've just pressed dump - is that wrong??

@AliciaWhiskers I'm not in the UK, so it may be different, but UTest were doing a voice recording task very recently

@AliciaWhiskers there is a submit button (blue) at the bottom of each task you have to click on that or or doesn't count - as I stupidly realised yesterday x

Anyone been able to solve the problem of getting the cottonwood guidelines to open?

@Otterses Helloooo :) Hope you're feeling a bit better today and fingers crossed for dropping a day. I'm a lot better although still stuck living in hell - I need a property to sell to be able to move out but it's the wrong time of year.

Cwood guidelines opened fine for me although I think they may be updating them so that might be the issue. I need to get a routine going really, it's just typical that Crisp gets busy and I finally get a project from Appen after months of waiting - 20 hours is actually quite daunting, at least with crisp you just get on with it and don't have to count hours. It's great to be getting work though especially after my last 2 crap months!

@SNISR I emailed but got no response. I tried it in several different browsers (on my phone, laptop and iPad) nothing. So I gave up.

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of the actual Appen tasks but I find the rest of it incredibly confusing - keeping track of hours (keep forgetting to note when I start ), the invoicing, remembering they use Pacific time, trying to fit in 20 hours etc etc. Are they quite easy on you for the first week or two??

I've been accepted onto two projects, really hope I'm not expected to do 20 hours on each!

@rhij86 Have you been paid by Appen yet? I’m still waiting 😬

I follow this thread and am on Appen and haven't been paid yet either. It normally goes in within hours of being "paid" ...looking on Social there are others still saying the same - so I'm assuming it is a problem their end that they know about and will fix!!

I did my Appen invoice for the hours I worked yesterday, but although I read the mention of Pacific time, there didn't seem to be a section for me to put in times, only the number of hours worked. Have I gone wrong somewhere?

@AliciaWhiskers

No times only generally come into play if you work before 8am as they are 8 hours behind. If you worked say from 5am -6am you would add it to your invoice for the previous day.

@MoreMoneyPlease try Toggl. I use it and it's really good. Just a time but it adds everything up. I don't tend to forget as it's on the laptop.

Anyone else subconsciously classifying things irl? Just me?
