I know but I'm skeptical!

Frenchdoors1 · 10/08/2020 21:56

I know what you mean but I've always got paid for the work I've done, admittedly I've done things wrong and not got paid but you'll get paid for what you've done correctly.
I've spent hours on stuff only to find out I had done them all wrong or only got a few right.

Horehound · 10/08/2020 22:15

I did three call jobs. One of 25 calls, one of 9 calls both paid 100%
Nothing changed yet on the third where I did 14 calls it says the quality issue and threw me off the job. I'm sure it's because I missed two calls and the person logged it wrong bit what's to stop them not paying me for 14 calls? That's 45 dollars so a fair amount to be missing. And that's only one of them I have loads not paid yet!

WonderTweek · 11/08/2020 08:45

Oh yeah I have loads of stuff that I haven't been paid for yet but I kind of expected it to take a few weeks because they kept reopening the jobs and I guess they do need to check everything which takes time. I'll hang around for a while longer and the start chasing if I need to.

I just got an email from Rev saying I can be a transcriptionist now. Yay! There's quite a bit of training to do by the looks of it but I hope I can start earning something soon. I hope it's not too difficult. I enjoyed their transcription exam but got discouraged after the captioning test because I thought it was difficult. Haha.

Horehound · 11/08/2020 09:07

I didn't attempt the captioning one because it looked like it would take a long time and I was really tired. Still might though. I had an email from them saying I had been approved but not activated yet so I'm on a waiting list.

Can't remember who it was that did the same job on clickworker for saying 50phrases but they got back to me and said the 2.15 was inclusive of the 150% bonus. What the fuck! Completely ridiculous task then.

justtheonethen · 11/08/2020 09:14

Can anyone tell me what F*h pays on appen. I won't bother if it's low Grin. Also does it take the half hour they say as I've been burned by them on a voice recording one before.

Baby89 · 11/08/2020 09:16

@Horehound - I did the exact same thing but payment was $25 so the mere amount clickworker was offering was not worth it at all - took a lot of time and effort

Sonmi451 · 11/08/2020 09:25

[quote daceecad]@Sonmi451 do you mind sharing what did you change in your application for appen? I've been waiting for some news God knows for how long now :(

Thanks to everyone contributing to this thread, it might just save my financial situation at least a bit![/quote]
You need to be on this bit: connect.appen.com/qrp/core/login.

MrsWombat · 11/08/2020 09:44

Appen work is dead, but I'm chugging along nicely with Crisp.

uTest is picking up a bit. I've done some test cases on gambling websites which pay well and I've been invited to do a 4-month long project (I think it will be an hour or so a month) for something else so fingers crossed that goes ok.

I've listed my first t-shirt on Merch By Amazon.

My VA client has finally got in touch with me to tell me there's no work currently no shit sherlock and I've very glad as I can focus on other things now. Blush They are lovely but a pain to work with and a late payer. I'm hoping to be too busy if they come back for my awesome services again. Wink I know where I stand with Appen/Crisp/uTest. Grin

Horehound · 11/08/2020 09:50

@Baby89 the fitness commands was it? Where else was the job? Yeh it's actually disgusting how little they have paid for that. I'm not actually a big fan on clickworker right now.
Their uhrs thing is shite, the qualification examples don't tie in with the answers. They aren't very logical.

flesh · 11/08/2020 10:01

I held my nerve with my Lloyd shares, thanks to whoever tipped them on here, and they are growing nicely.

otterses · 11/08/2020 10:49

Erm ... did anyone do that latest Carmel task on Appen? I think it was 31 pages of coming up with various phrases like 'show Becky that photo from last night'.

I've had an invoice generated for £169 Shock surely this can't be right!?

OP posts:
Gatekeeper · 11/08/2020 11:24

Haven't seen that particular project otterses but sounds good. Hooe your invoice is correct

Horehound · 11/08/2020 11:33

I hope that wasn't me @erw22 I think the link I used the poster got a share in under armour?
And then I did one in free trade too so whoever's link I used for that should have got one

Horehound · 11/08/2020 11:34

I'm still confused about appen. I have only managed to apply for one thing. If you apply for anything else it asks you to log in and then says your application is already in. Yes, but I want to apply for something else ffs.
And it still just said it's to be reviewed humph

ERW22 · 11/08/2020 11:35

@Horehound

It was way back in February when I first joined and shared my link on this thread so I don’t think it was! Smile

Maybe my account is just broken Grin

Horehound · 11/08/2020 11:37

Ah ok no mine was just a few weeks ago!

wildnightswildnights · 11/08/2020 13:00

@WonderTweek How long did you wait for Rev? I have passed the application and got an email last night aying I'm on the waiting list.

Also on the waiting list for Cloudworkers and Crisp.

I got an email for Appen saying I was accepted onto a project but that it is 'awaiting contract' or somethng like that. Does anyone know how long it takes? Probably like asking how long is a piece a string...

Tinging · 11/08/2020 13:18

@Horehound I can't believe Clickworker were only paying 2.15 for that voice job, I did it through Teemwork and they are paying $25! I did see it on CW but didn't realise it was the same job. I find their surveys and tasks very low paid compared to other sites.

Horehound · 11/08/2020 13:20

I emailed them to tell them it was bloody ridiculous!

Horehound · 11/08/2020 13:30

@Tinging are you doing any jobs on teamwork right now? I applied to the only UK job available but not heard anything and don't see anything else.

curdsandwhey · 11/08/2020 13:42

How long does it take to get your final documents approved by Appen? I submitted mine at the end of April but still heard nothing back. Is it still six months or more that you have to wait?

I really need to register with Clickworker but just need to motivate myself.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 11/08/2020 13:46

@otterses I got £169 too, was very happy with that hours work lol! It did say $1 per sentence although I assumed they meant per batch of 5. Hope it stays like that!

ruralwanderer · 11/08/2020 13:50

@otterses and @spockpaperscissorslizardrock, I haven't got that project listed on Appen but sounds an amazing find, well done both of you!

@horehound, they'll verify your account once you're accepted for the first project then once that's done you can apply for as much as you like.

@justtheone, F* took me nearly 2 hours to record. Can't remember the pay though, sorry.
