So... Anyone up for an earn £10 a day 2020 thread?

[otterses]

HAPPY NEW YEAR

For anyone who wasn't with us last year, we all set about trying to earn £10 a day on top of our usual income. No MLM schemes or anything dodgy. There were some fantastic amounts achieved, mat leaves extended, babies conceived, and redundancies survived. I know the thread got a bit confusing to follow for new starters, but please don't be intimidated! You don't need any special skills or anything to do any of this, it's all really accessible and I promise we'll all try to be clear about what sites/terms are so no one gets too lost

I haven't had time to put a full list together, and to be honest I want to pop off and go make the most of the content on Crisp Thinking (social media moderation site averaging around £10 per hour) but I was planning on popping up a list a bit later today.

@cutegiraffe
You are unlikely to make 'instant' money.

For Appen etc which in my experience is the best source you are basically paid a few weeks in arrears.

With Prolific I have made about £90 over the 7 months I have been doing it. You have to do the survey within 10 mins and they get snapped up quickly. Neevo tasks are few and far between and quite badly paid.

I am on Appen and Crisp which are a regular income source. The others are basically one off tasks or pin money. I use Intellizoom, Clickworker and the others like ISoftstone (which pays after about 2 weeks but has little work) and Neevo. Most pay a months in arrears. Utest pay quickly within a week but have few suitable tasks.

Did everyone upload a cv with Appen? I've never needed a CV before in my FT job we have quite a specific application form that can be tweaked depending on area/ job title. How much detail do you need to go into?

I haven't needed a c v for years either. I just put down my current and recent jobs and listed the skills involved that I thought might be relevant to online work. For example I spend time searching for academic articles online and extracting information relevant to my own work. I proofread my own writing.

Appen have asked me to complete some online documentation, so I hope that means I'll be accepted.

I've registered with clickworker too. That was quite a long process, so I'm hoping I'll get something worthwhile from it.

I spent a bit of time on Peanut Lab yesterday, but so often spent time answering a lot of preliminary questions, only to be told I wasn't a good fit for the survey, I decided it wasn't worth it.

Thanks for this thread. I've had some unexpected expenses, so it will be good to earn some extra money, if I can, and it looks as if this might fit in well with my existing work, if I can get into a routine.

@Cutegiraffe

The lightening payout offers on oh my dosh would make you around £25, which you could use for matched betting which is relatively instant. Crisp, Appen, Neevo and the like are long term goals where you are paid in arrears, like an actual job.

I just tweaked my existing CV for Appen.
Prolific can be tumbleweed for weeks at a time and then you get 4 in a day Some can be £5-£6 X survey, some can be 40p. I used to ignore those then said "oi, 40p is a bag of pasta and what are you doing in the meantime?"

Honestly, spend 10 mins tweaking a cv. If you get a project, it's completely worth it. I've never had anything from Prolific. No idea why.
Started Crisp but I'm so slow.

[themoneyshed] - thanks for letting me know that....how many hours a week were you spending on Yukon to earn that much? Were you working for them long? Hope you dont mind me asking

Thanks for the replies. My issue is that I have not been given the opportunity to do anything to earn money on any of these sites yet, and was wondering whether there is anything I can get started on straight away? I don't mind having to wait a while to get the money but I want to be able to do something to earn money now.

@Cutegiraffe

If you are looking to make money RIGHT NOW then you want to be looking at using apps like BeMyEye, Roamler etc.

Or doing Matched Betting

All of that would provide you with money in the same day ;)

@Cutegiraffe it's a waiting game I'm afraid. A lot of us have waited months for offers of projects. The best you can do is apply to anything and everything. I'm assuming you've also applied for isoftstone, Lionbridge, modsquad, utest, whatusersdo, angelfish, and others mentioned before on previous threads?

Trying to keep track of everything I have signed up to, does anyone use a spreadsheet for different companies and what the make from them?

I am clearly no good at proofreading

Signed up to 20cogs this morning and ive got £37 in my account already

Did anyone give brainfeed a go? I haven't yet as it seems like you have to commit a fair amount of time to it which I have not got at the moment.

I've just signed up to lifecogs and have £20 but I'm worried I'm going to get bombarded by emails and phone calls now!

@macaroniandpizza I signed up, I have two outstanding cashback offers that have not tracked and are not showing in pending.
I can't find anyway of contacting their customer services, which has put off off doing anything else on there for now.

@macaroniandpizza by the looks of it you can withdraw any money until you have completed all 20 cogs.

@DontCallMeDarling what is brainfeed?

Hello all.

Is anyone here working on Appen G-hopper? My other project has just finished and they've asked me to take the qualification for this, but I know it's been around for a while now and I don't want to bother with the prep and exam if it's coming to an end? Thanks.

@GoodPlaceJanet are you in the UK? I did the hoppy one for a while but I believe it has finished now at least for the UK market, it has completely gone off my srt. Unless they are planning on loading new data but I m sure there was an email that it was finished. But if you take and pass the test you might get pivoted to another project without doing a further test so it could be worth doing? Although I think all of the Malta projects
at least in the UK are coming to an end.

@girlicorne thanks so much for your reply, yes I'm in the UK. I think I'll give the qualification a miss then as I'm short for time at the mo. I was hoping to be pivoted from my old project but alas I've not heard anything.

Unfortunately, because I have not signed up yet, I don't know exactly what it entails. I don't think it's micro work though.

I'll sign up and see @DontCallMeDarling

@DontCallMeDarling I'm not sure any of my skills/work experience fit any of their categories
