Feb 2021 £10/day. February, let's round off winter!

[seizethecuttlefish]

Welcome to the Feb thread.

Newbies welcome. We're all here for the same thing, get together and earn some extra cash. Aim for £10/day but every little (or lots) is good.

Oh really? That's interesting @seizethecuttlefish - I'll have a proper look at it later but sounds like I might swerve it if it's not as good

I got the MAI email - it says in it that you 'can now participate in both', but I'm wary.

I got the MAI email but can't see the quiz, plus I don't want to be stuck on that one instead!

My Am** purchases turned out quite well. I got the alcohol free spirit too plus a tracksuit, nice dress, a rug, a necklace and a wig. The rug and necklace are high value so can be returned. The wig is the only Chinese tat this time. It says real hair so I think I'll have to wear gloves to handle it haha.
I'd quite like to do MAI too but also wary so might give it a month to see what happens to the people who sign up for both.

@ TheLolaMontez I have and I find it very strange

I couldn't find the availability survey anywhere anyway - I pressed the link but it just took me to the homepage (?)

I also got the MAI email but the link just sends me back to the main page? Is this happening to everyone?

Same

Thanks for the new thread. Jan was my first proper month:

Appen: £250
Potato: £50
Qmee: £35
Ipsos: £40 in amazon vouchers plus another £20 from random things.

Thanks so much for this thread- total life saver.

I got a job related to the career I've paused to have kids to start when my maternity ends! Only a year contract (part time ad from home) but I'm delighted. Get to use my brain again! I'll keep crisp on the back burner and do the minimum as I think it's good to have to fall back on when this ends.

Worst lot of Amur yet!

Only 6 items and the first 5 came to £55 total including shipping!

Lipgloss
Etsy pin
Birthday card
Boohoo men's top (but this was from the US site so I've had to pay extra shipping and can't return easily!)
A bottle (empty, not alcohol filled)

And the best one was a £50 skin care set

I had my first one where it didn't take me to the item in the advert! I had a list of birthday cards to choose from but then they had extra options like flowers and chocolate but I wasn't sure if it was ok to get any extras or not? It wasn't adding anything extra to the basket, it was just in the drop down options. But I didn't just in case as I'm not sure how those ones work.

Overall a bit of a waste of time this time round 😞

I have been trying to work out what the benefit of this work is. I get that they want to check the adverts aren't dodgy etc but it must be costing a fortune! And how do they chose which adverts get checked.

@Dancingdolphins Congratulations, I hope it all goes really well.

Am*r a bit disappointing this month but still quite enjoyed it. I had to skip three due to 404 error, e-product and too expensive, one of which would have been a really good buy sadly. I did get:
Scottish alcohol free spirit
A coat of dubious quality
An enormous hoody blanket thing

Very expensive facial cleanser.

@sarapos89 I started potato in December and went from something like £1 to now about £3/4ish. I think people who are earning close to the £10 are very fast, doing shifts and also catching surges. I can never guarantee when I can work so I can't do shifts and I have never managed to work during a surge. I am getting faster but because I am naturally careful, I don't think I will get much faster.

@Gingerkittykat I don't think there is a specific forum to talk about the work. Also be careful as we are not allowed to talk specifically about the content we moderate. If you have any queries relating to content, better to email the potato staff then ask here.

@superpinkgirl

I also got the MAI email but the link just sends me back to the main page? Is this happening to everyone?

me too

a**r very poor this month... out of 7

lobster slippers
2 sites that were subscription only
1 site that came up twice and selling car parts
a horrible spandex dress
cheap gloves coming from China

@unicornpoopoop I can't work it out either. Who is paying for the research?

My ADAP is showing only 3 done when I am sure I’ve done 4...no way of checking what’s gone through is there? Not sure what to do, anyone had anything similar?

@Dancingdolphins good luck with new job

My purchases weren't good either - I really do not want a cheap real hair wig! or a car part, lol.

But have a face cream coming which will get used, the alcohol free spirit, an outfit for my son & a top that can be returned. So all in all, not too bad.

Trying to make sense of the abbreviations! Not following it at all! What is Am?? What is Potato?

@MarigoldMoonStone
None of mine are showing on ADAP. I have submitted 8 and it's only showing 1 which is a resubmission I did yesterday. I don't know what to do either. I did screenshot the submission code under the blue button for the last few but don't know if that's any use

@Dancingdolphins congratulations on your new job. I've been on maternity for a year, I was meant to go back December but lockdown and me shielding due to being CEV. I've been home for so long don't know if I'll even remember what I do anymore for work.

Congratulations @Dancingdolphins a year contract part-time and wfh sounds great.

Am got off to a bad start, with two skips and two dodgy clothes sites from China. But then I got two good ones which I should be able to return for around £160. Rounded off with an overpriced rose in a balloon type thing, which I suppose I'll give to DH for Valentine's Day if it arrives in time!

@TheHumanFund my last one didn’t go through either...how weird, I have the submission codes. Going to check again in the morning and see if they have appeared and if not best send a ticket I suppose?
