Welcome to the first thread of 2021. I'll try and put the links up but failing that, here's a link to the last thread.

Dec Earn £10/day. Santa's coming (hopefully with sacks of money!) http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/legalmoneyy_matters/4095115-dec-earn-10-day-santa-s-coming-hopefully-with-sacks-of-money

Welcome newbies and veterans. Here's to lots of extra income.

@AdaShelby That milk carton sounds hilarious.

@Baby89 I've recently got some translation work through Ap China but it's really random and the platform I use is not the most user friendly. I'm getting a lot of messages in Chinese and I have no idea what they say. I enjoyed the actual task though (it's not often I get to use my language pair) and would probably do more if they were to send more work my way.

Ah @YonderTweek my DH will be jealous as he has been asking when am I going to get some free quality whisky for him!

Same happened to me with the qualifier for P* @Catatemyhomework - obviously looking for a bigger time commitment

Forgive me if I'm being stupid but I'm trying to sign up for Potato and need to do the test but I've honestly got no idea what I'm doing.

First question, I'm trying to sign up for 'Risk Analyst', is this the one you all use?

Secondly, is there somewhere I can do a practice or be shown examples of what to do as I've been staring at the screen for the last 30 minutes and I'm completely stumped.

Thank you.

I put 10-15 for P- and it let me do the test but I didn't pass it...possibly as I've no transcription experience (was expecting it to be like the Way With Words that was more about grammar and listening so thought could cope!)

@idontwanttodiet

Yes it is the risk analyst.

To your second question, no there isn't. Read through the guidelines about the risks then take the test. There is no time limit so you can go back and look at the guidelines plus there is no cap to how many times you can try the test. Answer them as best you can. Good luck.

I am reading this thread with interest but am slightly baffled...
Please could someone tell me what kind of jobs you all do on Appen? And what are all these products you have got/returning??
Sorry - I have read the thread but need to know whats going on! (Am thinking of joining something!)
Thank you :)

@mrsrobin
I do a regular 20 hour a week project which is classifying adverts into taxons. I have done this for over a year.

The product thing is a project on Appen where you get paid to buy certain products and after the month is over for that 'round' we can sell them or keep them or give them away. We get fully reimbursed for each product and paid to do the project.

Thanks for your reply Az, but what is a "taxon"?!!
I need to join Appen - just need to sort my cv as I see you have to upload it.
So there is a variety of things on there?

Thank you @whysotriggered, I'll try and give it a go.

@mrsrobin

There is a wide variety of things on Appen. You won't know until you try :)

@mrsrobin, there are all sorts of projects on Appen including transcription, translation, data collection etc. I really enjoy my Appen work and would definitely recommend it. It can take a while to get started though so it may be worth looking at Intellizoom and Prolific as well as you can usually get earning quicker with those platforms.

Thank you all - I will get joined up! I joined Prolific the other day :)

Rural, just had a look at Appen - do I sign up via the Projects, Micro Tasks or Surveys tab? Or are they all one so if you join one you have joined them all? Thank you!

Got my whiskey today! Review done and put it aside to give away as a gift to my father in law who likes the stuff.

Crikey I just qualified for the Pol project!
I said I could do 10-15/20 hrs, whatever it was, I hope I can now. I must have passed the Quiz (I didn't get given any score).

So now I have a Work This button but, surprise surprise, need to wait to be given access to the tool....

What whisky did you get? I was hoping to get whisky and it ended up being my last purchase! Haha, I'm not gifting mine. I love the stuff.

@teddydidit Hope you get whisky for your husband next time round. Bet he would be chuffed. It's just one of those things that you don't buy very often, the nice stuff anyway.

Potato Q! Do you email your list of any you're unsure of, with an explanation of why you're unsure, forever? It's taking me longer than any of the others that I'm actually answering! Not sure if it's just a beginner thing?

@mrsrobin, I think I signed up on the projects tab when I did it and now have access to all the different tasks I fit the demographic for, both long term and micro tasks. Good luck!

Hi all , with the amur project description thingy i said i had experience in transcription which i do, is thar ok to put on thier? Thanks

@YonderTweek Jameson black barrel, if only it had been gin

@entrytohr I've only been doing it a month, so not an expert. I only send an email if I think it is likely to crop up again or an explanation would enlighten me. For instance, if something just makes no sense because it is so poorly phrased, telling me if there is a risk or not won't help me in the future so I don't bother to put it in an email.

This is a great way to earn some money via my referral link for Trading212. You get a free share worth up to £100 and then you can sell it. If you use my link we both get a free share. I used my friends link and I have a free share in General Electric but you could get any share.

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

Create a Trading212Invest account using this link

www.trading212.com/invite/HXfKQEGC

and we both get a free share!

Up to 20 people can sign up via my link. Then when you have joined you can send others your link to get more free shares. Fab way of earning some extra money! You only have to deposit £1 and the shares are worth more than that.

Anyone else find the exchange rate on Payoneer is killing them? It's brutal.

@siezecuttlefish I'm not sure- are the fees added on once you withdraw? I still can't verify my bank account so have no idea! I got paid from Appen but can't see that payoneer have taken much.

Their exchange rate is 1usd=0.71 pounds. Means that Appen now pays about £9.90/hr and I think it might mean I'm worse off with the purchasing project. Need to have a look, not sure. I don't mind the fees, don't really notice them.
