Welcome to posters old and new :-)

Ok, @MoreMoneyPlease, I have clicked your link and deposited £1, so hopefully you'll get a free share?

My link if anyone wants it is:

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

Create a Trading212Invest account using this link www.trading212.com/invite/FMEuL10N and we both get a free share!

Lougle · 28/01/2020 12:04

So, having read the terms, it's slightly different to FreeTrade. The links we both posted are our personal links - they never change. Any number of people can use the link to register an account.

When the person uses our links, we can benefit from a free share (as do they) up to 20 times. After 20 times, only the person signing up gets the free share.

Still no sign of any work on the Appen projects I qualified for.

No news from Lionbridge on the Social Media Evaluator tasks.

Nothing back from Crisp since passing the test early Sept 2019.

I've started matched betting but it's so slow as I have to keep waiting for the bookies to pay out if I win, to put money back in the exchange. £25 up so far.

anxiouswaiting · 28/01/2020 12:28

@L0obyLou I have done transcription for Appen but not for any dedicated transcription companies. Not fast enough but I am thinking of investing some time doing a free online typing course to get my speed and accuracy up a bit.

anxiouswaiting · 28/01/2020 12:31

Lionbridge have invited me to the exam next week. No reply to my e-mail disclosing work I have done with competitors though so still a chance they will retract the offer.

Very nervous about the exam? only a short time to sit it and I bet there will be loads of guidelines to read!

Appen transcriptions/annotations are slow and not working out to be a very good rate but something is better than nothing I suppose.

L0obyLou · 28/01/2020 12:41

@anxiouswaiting I was thinking the same thing and signed up to ratatype last week. It's pretty good and free 😊

Lougle · 28/01/2020 12:42

Well done @anxiouswaiting. I wish I knew why Lionbridge don't want me. I'd work hard Grin

anxiouswaiting · 28/01/2020 12:49

Well looks like I spoke too soon, after being given my exam date suddenly they have just rejected my applications for all 3 projects I applied for!

DollyDiddles · 28/01/2020 13:02

Here is another free share referral link. Don't forget to top up with £1. You don't have to spend it. Thank you!

https://freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=VVDPDDHNQB&sender=XUZJ510qq_
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!

Frenchdoors1 · 28/01/2020 13:11

@Lougle

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

Haha... Yes, I've done that..... Ooooh, don't think I've applied for this one, oh, it wants me to have a masters degree...Hmmmm..I'll leave that one then Grin Hmm

Catatemyhomework · 28/01/2020 13:49

Another free share link. Please only use if you're going to top up as a couple of mine haven't been used now. Thanks.

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! freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=AL63QZ0M6D&sender=JfpzJuY5

Lougle · 28/01/2020 14:08

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that, @anxiouswaiting.

Februarycat · 28/01/2020 14:37

@LOobyLou I have done some transcribing for Rev last year but it took me ages to do and I am a fast typist. The audio was not very clear and I did not enjoy it so not done any more.

Lougle · 28/01/2020 14:59

I wondered about that, @Februarycat. I did the test and I thought I did it quite well, but it took a long time because some of the audio was very ambiguous. They haven't responded to my test, so I guess they can't be too desperate for transcribers.

Februarycat · 28/01/2020 15:19

@Lougle As I said it was last year when I did the work and I did hear back quickly after my test to say I had passed. Maybe they have got more people wanting to join now. Hope you hear back soon.

Whatsmyname2019 · 28/01/2020 15:46

Those free shares take forever to come through don’t they!? I never heard back from Lionbridge at all. Think I gave up on Rev

Lougle · 28/01/2020 17:09

@MoreMoneyPlease thank you for the Trading212 link - I got Ocado!

Lougle · 28/01/2020 17:15

I just got 52wpm and 95% accuracy on Ratatype. Need to speed up a bit.

ifuckarses · 28/01/2020 17:39

Just in case anyone is after a free share referral. I know they tend to get snapped up quickly!

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/FMElG7h2 and we both get a free share!

First month is going really well, I'm am SO glad I found this thread! Still waiting to hear back from Appen, it's been weeks now but sure the wait will be worth it and finally passed Crisp after a couple of failed attempts so I know that will be another long wait.

I need to go through and add up properly but with doing my Lionbridge SME work which I've only done my first week of so far, a few Neevo jobs, a little bit on uTest, Prolific, Qmee and shares I've earned over £200 this month. Plus I've managed to get 2 referrals for Huel which will save me a tenner on my next couple of orders and a someone used my Bulb referral so £50 in credit on my account!

MoreMoneyPlease · 28/01/2020 17:42

@Lougle ooh, me too! Nice they come through so quickly!

@Whatsmyname2019 these ones come through on the same day! 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!

StudentHelp · 28/01/2020 17:56

Someone used my share but hasn’t topped up Sad please could you do so?

Catatemyhomework · 28/01/2020 18:02

@StudentHelp, that's happened to me a few times now and I haven't had a free share in ages. I'm starting to think they stop allocating them once you get to 5.

Lougle · 28/01/2020 18:03

Wow, that's amazing arses!

I'm £26 up on UTest and have £21 of shares.

StudentHelp · 28/01/2020 18:05

@Catatemyhomework
I haven’t even had any of my shares revealed yet! It’s been over a week for me now

Catatemyhomework · 28/01/2020 18:10

@StudentHelp, I think the revealing bit does take a while. Can't remember how long exactly as I haven't had one in ages!
