Welcome to posters old and new :-)

Ah sorry guys I'm asking about the Appen FOR project pay rate.

bkaz · 27/01/2020 19:58

*@posterBuster27 * Thanks for using my link, I have a share pending.

bkaz · 27/01/2020 20:00

Here is my link for free share , remember to top up £1.00

You should sign up to Freetrade! It’s this app you can use to invest for free. Plus, when you sign up, we both get a free share - might be Apple or Tesla!

Has anyone had anything from Atcder? Nothing happens when I click on “work this” so assuming there is no work yet?

Lougle · 27/01/2020 20:27

@bkaz if you asked me yesterday, I'd have said yes. Today has not been a good day, but I'm also feeling unwell.

Basically, as I'm sure you've seen, there are test cases and exploratory testing. Test cases want you to carry out a series of steps to see if they're bugged. Exploratory testing is relatively free for all.

Then, there are cycles where you have to have a 'slot' which means you fulfil certain criteria (Device, operating system, language, country, etc.) and other cycles where you can just accept the invite.

There is normally a listed pay rate prior to the task being accepted. The better you perform, the higher the pay. Some people make a lot of money, but it's not a get rich quick environment - you need to build the skill.

Catatemyhomework · 27/01/2020 20:41

@Tefiti2, I'm afraid that project is finished now. I know this because I sent in all the downloads last week and then got an email saying they had reached their limit with UK testers and weren't accepting anymore. Would have been nice to know before I started cleaning up and downloading 30 days worth of data, but that's Appen for you! Hmm

Tefiti2 · 27/01/2020 20:50

Oh @catatemyhomework thank you for letting me know - how infuriating for you!! Going to pop all my eggs into the same basket with Crisp then and hope I reach the top of their waiting list soon! Maternity leave pay shall not beat me!

justtheonethen · 27/01/2020 21:09

I have worked out my pay rate query!

anxiouswaiting · 27/01/2020 21:52

Could you explain it to me @justtheonethen ? Is it worth doing?

justtheonethen · 27/01/2020 21:58

@anxiouswaiting I've sent you a PM

SpirallingThroughAnotherDay · 27/01/2020 23:22

I think my freetrade link is still available if anyone needs one, please only use it if you're going to top up £1 so we both get our free share, thanks.

freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=GR9YP6680X&sender=Xl9WuwHF You should sign up to Freetrade! It’s an app for investing in the stock market with no fees. Plus, when you sign up, we both get a free mystery share!

SpirallingThroughAnotherDay · 27/01/2020 23:28

@BertieBotts I'm pretty sure I've failed Rev but it would be nice to find out either way, you just never know! @ZetaPuppis it's strange that we haven't heard back yet, I was refreshing my emails constantly but I've given up bothering now.

Catatemyhomework · 27/01/2020 23:51

I never heard back from Rev either and I took the test a few weeks ago now. I think it's actually rude to not tell someone if they've passed or failed. Perhaps they wouldn't have made such a great employer after all! Hmm

ZetaPuppis · 28/01/2020 06:57

I was trying to find out how long they take to get back, because they do say within 2 days on their site. Someone said they heard back after a month that they’d passed.
Others said two weeks. But it’s been over two weeks now.
Lots of negative stuff about them though! So yes, maybe they wouldn’t have been that great?

www.workingmums.co.uk/jobs/job/18656106/legal-audio-typists-transcriptionists-home-based-and-part-time-available-/

Any good for anyone? Came across it looking for transcription work but I am not good/fast enough for a serious role like this. Sorry I forget who but I know someone mentioned they have legal typing experience.

BertieBotts · 28/01/2020 09:51

Yay! Got my free share - Ocado :o

Looks like they are going down for now, Brexit is my guess, I'll wait until it trends back up.

DontCallMeDarling · 28/01/2020 09:58

I can't remember whose free trade referral I used, hopefully we will get our free share soon. They lost my £1 deposit! They have found it now so fingers crossed!!!

BertieBotts · 28/01/2020 10:24

Argh as if my uTest problems weren't enough (have sent support request now, fingers crossed it comes back with something helpful) I am having issues with Clickworker. Apparently they have a forum but when I try to log in it tells me my username doesn't exist Hmm It's the same fucking username at the top of the page, yes it does exist! The only thing I can think is my account might not be considered "Active" - which would explain why I only get bitty little tiny tasks, I suppose?

Starlight2004 · 28/01/2020 11:10

Had invoice from Appen for the work I did last night on the new project and the pay seems fairly low, working out around £6.50 an hour for me. I'm not sure how much it would improve with speed as u can only go so fast.

Lougle · 28/01/2020 11:17

It's interesting with the shares...I know they say they are random, but it's interesting that the share I spent £0.86 on has increased by 2.38% since I bought it, but the two shares that I was given have decreased by 2.89% and 4.47% since I got them. Still, I have 16p withdrawable cash to my name...a win, I'm sure.

Lougle · 28/01/2020 11:48

That moment when you see a project you haven't applied for and then your moment is dashed because you realise that the reason you didn't apply is that you don't speak a foreign language. Blush

L0obyLou · 28/01/2020 11:49

@anxiouswaiting thanks for posting the job ad. I was just about to ask if anyone has tried online transcribing. Have you done any? My typing speed is still way too slow for these types of positions unfortunately!

MoreMoneyPlease · 28/01/2020 11:52

@Lougle My shares have dropped too, they're well-known names though so I'm just going to sit in them and hope they eventually do well! I've also signed up to Trading 212 which seem identical to Freetrade. Might as well get shares on both!!

Do you want to get a free stock share worth up to ‎£ 100?

Create a Trading 212 Invest account using this link www.trading212.com/invite/FMEohVmG and we both get a free share!
