I'm on a roll today 3 hours of B so far plus $40 on UTest. I have another $25 available on UTest if I can bare to put myself through shouting at the computer again! Plus so long as B doesn't run out I will do a few more hours on that.

Aiming for $150 today which would be amazing if I can do it!

Annoyed with B**ner, why keep giving us dates and then it falls through over and over.

I also have no B* showing on my invoice. I am keeping a spreadsheet though and hope it will all go on correctly.

Rad2016 · 19/03/2020 13:08

Hi guys I keep seeing B* seems there's some work available there. which one is that please. Just registered with uTest yesterday, I presume it takes a while to get some work. I had registered with Appen few months ago...almost 11 months still nothing yet. Am i just unlucky for some work? Do you need testing experience with uTest?

anxiouswaiting · 19/03/2020 13:11

@Rad2016 the B* project isnon Appen so of it is available for you to apply to it wilk be on your projects page.

margaritasbythesea · 19/03/2020 13:14

I've just started doing B**e as something else I was working on has fallen through. Does anyone else find the guidance very slim? I feel like I am guessing a lot. Is this how others feel?

It looks like I just lost a huge chunk of my WFH earnings thanks to Coronavirus. I exam mark. No exams = no work. One of my emplyers just sent me a message essentially saying, 'We have no clue what is going on!'

GailLondon · 19/03/2020 13:25

@Rad2016 no you don't need previous testing experience with UTest, although it can be a bit slow to get going - I didn't have a clue what it all meant to begin with but am understanding it much better now. It is worth persevering with as there are some projects that are much more well paid and straightforward than others.
11 months waiting for Appen seems like too long really...i would be tempted to resubmit a new application in case yours has fallen through the cracks

Also i would check out UserTesting if you are not already on there, I'm getting a steady $20-30 a week for very little effort whenever a test comes up that I'm a match for

Rad2016 · 19/03/2020 14:27

This is what my appen account says

''Your account is not yet active. Once you have fully qualified for at least one of the projects below, we will be able to work toward activating your account''.

margaritasbythesea · 19/03/2020 14:56

Those of you waiting for Bane to appear on your invoices, can I ask do you mean that they haven't uploaded hours or that it is not mentioned on the invoice as an automated task?

Mine isn't mentioned at all. I have done two hours work today which seems to be recorded nowhere except in my little notebook!

3dogsnorth · 19/03/2020 15:12

Glad that my free share with Trading 212 was Ocado. Up by nearly 50%! A ray of hope in these uncertain times

ChickenCluckWaddle · 19/03/2020 16:26

I have another freetrade link too: Invest in stocks and ETFs commission-free. Sign up here with your email and get a free share worth up to £200 to get started.
freetrade.io/freeshare/?code=ISARR7NSJA&sender=Nf48i9RY

Don't forget to top up with £1 so both of us get the free share.

anxiouswaiting · 19/03/2020 17:40

@3dogsnorth if I click to edit my invoice B* is listed at the bottom of the screen.

They've not loaded any of my hours though so just hoping it all matches up at the end of the month.

So today I have managed $170 between B* and UTest Grin

I'll do some more tonight hopefully as wel if work is still available.

DontCallMeDarling · 19/03/2020 18:00

@anxiouswaiting That's awesome

Lougle · 19/03/2020 18:31

Well done @anxiouswaiting! That's great. I was just playing with UTest and I much prefer the dollar amount to the pound amount! Shame.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 19/03/2020 19:01

Just done my first Neevo job and am shocked how bad people are. I'm checking and correcting and some are so far off its ridiculous.
Is this normal?

DontCallMeDarling · 19/03/2020 21:07

I've done some and yes.

rhij86 · 20/03/2020 08:09

Think Appen must be broken Hmm

B*nner has gone from saying yesterday to the end of the week.
When I first clicked on the 'work this' button I got asked some questions about transcription/translation - nothing to do with the job.
And I had an email inviting me to apply for a project that does not appear on my project list, so cannot do so Hmm

Happy Friday everyone!

Oops, almost missed this thread!

tootyfruitypickle · 20/03/2020 08:50

I started on B**e a week last Weds, and still don't have anything showing in invoices, how long does it take to see what you've earned?

margaritasbythesea · 20/03/2020 09:09

Well, Bane hasn't even appeared on my invoice at the bottom, despite it being in my work list so I am very unsure if it is worth me doing any more. I've got enough on without doing work I won't be paid for!

Also, does anyone know if they record batches of work done in 20 minutes over a day, or do you have to do a whole hour at a time.

Sorry of these are things that everyone else knows!

GailLondon · 20/03/2020 09:21

@rhij86 I got the same email for a new Appen project, it wasn't there earlier but has just now appeared on my projects list so worth checking again!

lilmishap · 20/03/2020 09:23

B**e I started 2/3rd still nothing showing up

tootyfruitypickle · 20/03/2020 09:29

I don't even know where to look - will it appear on the invoices tab in appen ? It just says "you haven't created any invoices yet".

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 20/03/2020 09:52

This new to Appen, don't worry about invoicing, they normally do it on the first working day of the month. I've worked for them for over a year and they have always paid for work done on lots of different projects and platforms.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 20/03/2020 10:37

Boo, B* run out again :-(

Catatemyhomework · 20/03/2020 11:11

Shame about B* running out again. I only managed about 8 hours out of that batch. I had hoped they'd last today. Oh well hope they come back soon.

rhij86 · 20/03/2020 11:19

bah, just logged in to do some B*ne - missed the boat again!
