I can't believe this has been going for nearly a year! I feel rather emotional Blush

I'll pop the list up in a second for any newcomers.

Here's to a fantastic December, and bolstered bank balances for January!

I'm going to set my target for this month at £200. I doubt I'll manage it though as I have exams to revise for and also Christmas etc, we'll see...

StudentHelp · 02/12/2019 14:01

Also, is anyone still doing the neevo validation tasks? Mine have been completely removed from my dashboard and work history. It's been about 5 days since they said they were looking into it for me

lynsey91 · 02/12/2019 14:17

@StudentHelp yes I am still doing them. Up to 12,000 at present. I have had to take a break for a bit as they are really driving me mad now. I have listened to so many I feel like I don't know the correct pronunciation of words any more!

MoreMoneyPlease · 02/12/2019 14:45

@SNISR Thanks for the clickworkers tip off, just done the tasks. A very easy 22.50 euro if all approved. Just hope it wasn't an intelligence test Confused Grin

seizethecuttlefish · 02/12/2019 14:47

I'm aiming for £300 this month. As I think the projects I'm on might quiet down. Haven't got anything else on the horizon. I sat a test for Appen but no feedback or email. No idea if I passed it. Though it doesn't look good. I haven't had anything from isoftstone or neevo in a while.

MoreMoneyPlease · 02/12/2019 14:48

I had an email from neevo that they're still doing the phone calls to insurance companies if anyone's interested. I've already done them so can't do them again, but an easy task for £50, took a couple of hours.

BlackCatFan · 02/12/2019 14:48

Wow those clickworker tasks made me feel stupid......! I hope you still get paid if they're wrong because mine will all be wrong!

MoreMoneyPlease · 02/12/2019 14:55

@BlackCatFan I don't think anyone would get paid if you have to get them all right! I was feeling quite smug for the practice ones then had no idea for the actual questions!

BlackCatFan · 02/12/2019 15:02

@MoreMoneyPlease that's true. At least we tried! 😂

StudentHelp · 02/12/2019 16:43

Just completed the clickworker things and they were so hard!!

seizethecuttlefish · 02/12/2019 16:45

I keep forgetting this and posting on the old thread. It's clearly been a long day. I sat an Appen year today but nothing from them so think I've failed it. It's vanished off the project list. I think most of the stuff I'm on will quiet down shortly so trying to get more things in the pipeline.

lynsey91 · 02/12/2019 17:15

I've done the clickworker surveys/tests and I really hope they don't need to be right because I know most of mine were not. They were making my brain ache so I just guessed quite a few

dreamyflower · 02/12/2019 17:21

Placemarking.

Thus thread has been incredible. So I've thank you.

I made:
Appen £20
QMee £35
Branded surgery £10
ipos £10 Amazon voucher
Chat from home £50
Bingo £105
Neevo £70

Not too bad. Still having problems with Appen and tools. I'm so close to closing my account. They never respond. Hoping crisp will come soon. I got 20 out of 20 two months ago. 😭

DontCallMeDarling · 02/12/2019 17:52

@dreamyflower do you have access to any of the chats, you can try getting hold of one of the moderators to escalate the issue for you. I know that with thanksgiving, they are behind dealing with messages and technical issues.

GreatOne · 02/12/2019 20:25

Im starting on MB this month :)
Having opened a separate bank account.

Is their a seperate mb thread for Dec? Or folks discuss it on here too?

Glad to have stumbled across this thread.
You're total are inspiring.
I just need a little extra spends then life would be less drab. Ideally start chipping away at ccard balance before interest free period errodes.

GreatOne · 02/12/2019 20:28

@buster27 how many hours do you have to do to get £500 target accomplished?

Countrygirl94 · 02/12/2019 21:09

Placemaking
Last months fell away quite quickly.
YouGov £50
Appen £45
Shoppix £10

Not too bad I suppose figuring we've only one laptop, husband doing OU course and a teething baby I think I had set myself too high.
Have just ordered a second laptop, so fingers crossed this month I can earn £10 a day 🤞
Amazing to see all your totals gives me hope that I can get to that level too.

Osquito · 02/12/2019 23:16

Just popping up to say a Thank You to everyone for the recommendations, advice or encouragement I’ve been reading on here.

Working away (slowly) on Crisp, and am also earning £3/survey here & there with Pinecone Research. I’ve set myself a target of £15 a weekday (but always £10)... at the very least it’s softening the blow of not having any luck with job applications.

Has anyone got any essential tips or must-dos for completing invoices for Crisp? Never done one before, and I’m so worried I’ll fill it out wrong.

Buster27 · 03/12/2019 08:45

@GreatOne 50 hours would do it, which does sound doable. There are several days I can't/won't be doing anything though so just need to crack on the days that I can.

Fanniee · 03/12/2019 09:06

@Osquito the crisp invoices are easy, there's a template on wiki so you can see how to do it.

Talking of crisp, how long have you all been doing it? It it a long term option or do people leave/get fired frequently?

Scarfaceclaw21 · 03/12/2019 09:21

I have been doing odd bits on crisp since March. Not earning loads but enough to keep ticking over.

MrsWombat · 03/12/2019 09:41

Marking my place!

CatHopeful · 03/12/2019 11:08

I've been doing Crisp since the summer. I tend not to post too much about it any more, as it's a pretty good set up for me and is working well so I don't want to risk that by potentially breaching privacy etc.

GailLondon · 03/12/2019 12:01

This thread has officially saved Christmas!

$1008 Appen invoice submitted Grin
£22.50 on clickworkers
No time for anything else but im delighted with that!

toastytea · 03/12/2019 12:04

Thank you to everyone who used my appen referral link. 150 hrs of work need to be completed now, chip chop!! 😆

Anyone else having trouble creating an invoice on appen? I can't select any project so either there's an issue or the projects have ended for me?! I've still been doing them so don't think that's the case 🤨
