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

The new Appen project states you must follow the link/instructions to create your WLID but the link takes me back to the home page. Anyone else have the same issue?

Wolfff · 13/02/2020 08:09

@tinyradish

Do you have a Live or outlook Email already? If so use that. If not create one.

Just input that email address into the box and it will send a code to that email to confirm.

Wolfff · 13/02/2020 08:11

Apologies I might be thinking of a different project...

Wolfff · 13/02/2020 08:54

Appen payment is in!

margaritasbythesea · 13/02/2020 08:57

Tinyradish - I had to fiddle around for ages but I was so tired I can't remember what I did. Just wanted to let you know that I found it a faff too and felt completely stupid but I got there in the end

rhij86 · 13/02/2020 09:00

@Wolfff yes I've had the email from payoneer saying it will be with me soon... do you think they're trying to make up for all the issues by paying us early this month and last?

tinyradish · 13/02/2020 09:27

Thanks @Wolfff I considered just creating one but wasn't sure whether it had to be a specific address like the UHRS one.

Ahhh thank you @margaritasbythesea I'll have another look later then when the baby is napping & not requiring attention every second Grin

AriellaBella · 13/02/2020 09:48

@tinyradish could you just use your UHRS one?

Suebnm · 13/02/2020 10:03

I am halfway thrugh a long LB Maps exam and was added to Tr*e yesterday. Tr**e It seems too easy am I missing something?

rhij86 · 13/02/2020 10:08

@Lougle I've been back and re-read the email and now feel very daft for my questions Blush
Going through the practice task again now and will attempt the test batch this evening if there are any left

MrsWombat · 13/02/2020 10:12

@Suebnm It's one of the holy grail projects from Appen. I've been on it for around 9 months and it's very easy, albeit boring. If you have a speech app on your phone's keyboard you can talk your comments rather than typing them which makes it far less tedious. Enjoy!!! Grin

Suebnm · 13/02/2020 10:21

@MrsWombat

Thanks, I was worried I was missing something important. Will relax now!

Lougle · 13/02/2020 10:23

Don't feel bad @rhij86, I couldn't understand what to do and got really frustrated until I reread the email Smile

girlicorne · 13/02/2020 11:09

Do any matched betters have a profit accumulator referral link please? I m going to sign up as I’ve already done the team casino £1 trial and can’t afford the full rate at the min so going to give profit accumulator a go and would like to make one if you lovelies some money while I m at it 😀
I got my Appen pay first thing this morning too, exciting!! I love the mid month bonus feeling as my contracts for my real job all pay at the end of the month and it all goes on bills and school fees!!

MoreMoneyPlease · 13/02/2020 12:05

@MrsWombat thank you for the microphone tip for the T** project, amazing!

MrsWombat · 13/02/2020 12:11

@MoreMoneyPlease You're welcome. WinkGrin

TheLolaMontez · 13/02/2020 12:25

UHRS is quiet today Sad I haven't got much to do really, I've done a couple of prolific studies and hanging around cloudworkers but the traffic is slow there too. Not as good a day as yesterday currently. Not sure what to do with myself!

Catatemyhomework · 13/02/2020 12:41

I am not having a very good day today. The lovely UHRS hit apps from Clickworker for sentence meaning have disappeared from my dashboard. I had high hopes for them!
Been trying to do the Charles Proxy UTest acaademy cycle and my phone won't connect with WiFi. Has anyone else managed to do this test cycle with android 9? I feel really stupid, as I know there are problems with android 9 and Charles Proxy but I don't know how else to do the Charles Proxy test cycle. The guidelines recommend not doing it on a computer as they want you to use your mobile. Anyway, I've declined it for now and written a reason in the field.
Also, I've applied for Rattle to do the tests with Appen. It says that if you already have a WLID to enter it. I've done this but now I'm panicking as that is the one I also use for isoftstone. Just wondered if this is likely to be an issue as it definitely says not to make a new one if you already have one.
I think I'm having a bad day as I'm feeling stupid and unable to progress anything.

SNISR · 13/02/2020 12:43

@girlicone can I ask how you got on with team casino? I've not tried the £1 trial yet and want to.

How much did you make with the weeks trial if you don't mind me asking.

StudentHelp · 13/02/2020 12:51

Not doing well this week, first someone got my card details and committed fraud somehow, then yesterday my lovely guinea pig boar met a terrible end at the vets and I’m heartbroken.

Managed £1.25 for one prolific survey and finally got a voucher on Huyu, it’s one of those where you pick the retailer later which I think is great and it arrived pretty much instantly to my email.

Haven’t managed much uni at all though

girlicorne · 13/02/2020 13:10

@SNISR I made around £100 but I only did about ten offers then I had to pay my bills so had no bank left and never really got back on it! I exactly matched the EV (expected value) of the offers give it take a couple of quid. He explains it all really well on there. I want to make some extra cash for half term so don’t want to pay out £17.99 for the full subscription right now but I definitely will in future as it’s a great site! You can do the £1 trial to see what it’s all about 😀

fajita · 13/02/2020 13:17

Question for those of you on UTest - is the test case result $ what you get just for submitting?

MoreMoneyPlease · 13/02/2020 13:28

Sorry to hear about your guinea pig @StudentHelp, very sad.

Lougle · 13/02/2020 13:29

@fajita when you do a test case, you get the amount stated if you do all the steps properly. If you then find bugs when you're following the steps, you report them and those get assessed separately. If they decide the bugs are 'real' they pay you according to the pay table for those, too.

I'm feeling grumpy today. I've had a couple of rejections, one I don't agree with. I'm tired and headachey.

Lougle · 13/02/2020 13:31

Sorry about your piggy, @StudentHelp.

I didn't do Charles with my new phone for the academy. I used an android 7.0 phone.
