@AdaShelby That milk carton sounds hilarious. Grin

@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. Grin 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.

TeddyDidIt · 13/01/2021 10:27

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

idontwanttodiet · 13/01/2021 10:59

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.

Heyha · 13/01/2021 11:05

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!)

whysotriggered · 13/01/2021 14:42

@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 :)

Azerothi · 13/01/2021 16:25

@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.

mrsrobin · 13/01/2021 16:32

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?

idontwanttodiet · 13/01/2021 17:19

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

Azerothi · 13/01/2021 17:45

@mrsrobin

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

ruralwanderer · 13/01/2021 18:34

@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.

mrsrobin · 13/01/2021 18:57

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

mrsrobin · 13/01/2021 19:29

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!

whysotriggered · 13/01/2021 19:29

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.

LimeJellyforBrains · 13/01/2021 19:50

Crikey I just qualified for the Pol project! Shock
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....

YonderTweek · 13/01/2021 20:20

What whisky did you get? I was hoping to get whisky and it ended up being my last purchase! Grin 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. Grin

entrytohr · 13/01/2021 20:35

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?

ruralwanderer · 13/01/2021 21:18

@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!

Baby89 · 13/01/2021 22:44

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

whysotriggered · 13/01/2021 23:53

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

whysotriggered · 13/01/2021 23:57

@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.

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

OP posts:
Crowsandshivers · 14/01/2021 08:01

@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.

seizethecuttlefish · 14/01/2021 08:24

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.
