That should cover most of what was discussed in the last thread! I'm just realising I've forgotten transcription sites so I'll add those on now.

As always, referral links are always more than welcome Smile

@GachaBread CW is very quiet for me too, yesterday was particularly slow got 20 done and kept getting disconnected. Hopefully it will pick up for Valentines

GachaBread · 12/02/2020 09:20

@spacepoppers they were new valentines ones regarding meal deals for £4. If they have all gone then they should be back. Fingers crossed

@Februarycat slow is not the word. I'm probably doing 50 an hour due to the wait in between messages, at night not so bad but the daytime is just toooo slow even if you have booked the shift. Glad it's just not me. I'm thinking maybe a lot of people are working it now due to Christmas or maybe too many agents they have on their books.

TheLolaMontez · 12/02/2020 10:12

That doesn't fill me with much confidence re CW traffic 😩 I've booked a load of shifts for next week, in the hope that it would be better traffic than just free styling but sounds like it's constantly quiet at the minute Sad

Lougle · 12/02/2020 10:15

@Catatemyhomework no!! You do it as usual, say 'no' to 'have you attached a Charles proxy report' and attach a logcat instead.

otterses · 12/02/2020 10:27

@TheLolaMontez

Everything is really weirdly quiet at the moment!

If anyone is keen on research, I stumbled across askwonder.com. Rates vary from $8 for a short piece of research up to $30 an hour.

GachaBread · 12/02/2020 10:28

@TheLolaMontez emails have been sent regarding CW that we are due an explosion of clients any day now so should not be too long.

TheLolaMontez · 12/02/2020 10:39

Yeah I've seen them @GachaBread - I don't like to say too much but I've found they often make promises they don't keep, we shall see! Hopefully it's true 🤞🏼

anxiouswaiting · 12/02/2020 10:41

Clickworker has a €2 survey about parking tickets, read a short passage and answer 1 question - easy money!

rhij86 · 12/02/2020 11:14

You could earn $70 for answering a survey if you have a mortgage:

@anxiouswaiting - thanks for that quick little earner!

BertieBotts · 12/02/2020 11:23

Can anyone help me set up the Charles Proxy thing? Happy to do over PM or whatever. I'm having no luck at all with the instructions they have provided. Or do you have to do this academy cycle at all? Is it possible just to skip it? I don't even really want to faff about with proxies and even less so on the phone, I'd rather just stick to testing on the PC anyway.

GachaBread · 12/02/2020 11:28

Found another mystery shopping app called easyshift. I just found it and it looks okay but you just never know. I have never heard anyone mention it either. I'm going to keep it for a while and see if I can make some money from it.

MoreMoneyPlease · 12/02/2020 11:32

Has anyone actually spent 10-15 hours to complete the application process on an Appen project? Not sure if I'd have the stamina!

AriellaBella · 12/02/2020 11:33

@otterses re askwonder - I can't work out how to sign up?

rhij86 · 12/02/2020 11:36

@MoreMoneyPlease I've never taken that long on an Appen one - usually an hour tops. The LB one I did recently probably took me 5 or 6hours (they also said 10-15)

GachaBread · 12/02/2020 11:44

@spacepoppers the jobs are back on. They are called my funny valentine.

BertieBotts · 12/02/2020 12:43

I don't seem to have anything happening at all on Appen - is that normal?

Done quite a bit on clickworker today - phew!

rhij86 · 12/02/2020 12:47

@bertiebotts Appen has been nothing but tumbleweeds for me since the beginning of Jan now.

UHRS is serving me really well today though :)

Lougle · 12/02/2020 12:53

@Bertiebotts have you got as far as installing the certificate on your phone? That's where some people struggle.

You don't have to do any of the academy stuff and tbf, if you are using android 7.0 or above, you're very unlikely to use it because it isn't working. Having said that, I was asked to provide a CPL this week, but I was given a specific set of conditions which let me do that for that situation .

MrsWombat · 12/02/2020 13:03

Today I've signed up for Rattle on Appen. It certainly sounds a lot like LB.

I've done a test case on uTest for a fiver and it only took me 15 mins. Grin I've also completed the computer academy training. The bug I found was a bit of a stretch in the definition of bug but hopefully it will pass and hopefully it will lead to bigger and better projects? Going to to the mobile one tomorrow.

MoreMoneyPlease · 12/02/2020 13:10

Thanks @rhij86 I'll give it a go then. @MrsWombat how was the test? Did it take 10-15 hours??!!

BertieBotts · 12/02/2020 13:12

@Lougle no, I can't even get that far - it wants me to press on my wifi network to get to "modify network" and long pressing doesn't bring up that option on my phone. Nor can I find it by searching or googling.

TheLolaMontez · 12/02/2020 13:18

I managed 2 hours on the UHRS clickworker job this morning and made $35.50 - quite happy with that, I would have carried on but had to go out. Boo!

MrsWombat · 12/02/2020 13:20

@MoreMoneyPlease I've not been invited to do the Rattle test yet, just signed up for it. Might not ever be invited. I failed Lionbridge three times, although they kept inviting me back for a retest a few times. Grin

Lougle · 12/02/2020 13:31

Ahh @BertieBotts, is it a Samsung? Long press on the wifi symbol to get to the network, then there's a little cog to the right of the network name. The last option on the list that appears is 'Advanced'. Open that and change 'proxy' to manual.
