Welcome to the March thread everyone.

The idea of the thread is to earn a bit of extra cash. There are a few ways to do this. I'm sure some of our regulars can add to this. But here's some ideas.

www.connect.appen.com this is a site where you can sign up for micro projects and some longer term projects.
www. crispthinking.com social media moderation
www.lionbridge.com projects
www.utest.com user testing
www.prolific.co surveys
www.intellizom.com short one off tasks
www.clickworker.com short one off tasks

I'm sure I've forgotten loads. If you want to look over previous months, there are loads of pervious threads in this section.

All UK sites this time around, I got a record, make-up, coat (for me), an overpriced jigsaw puzzle, pet food (I do have a pet), top and a clock. Two skips as food delivery (shame they don't count).

Most looked pretty safe sites, we shall see!

I'm saving my Am** purchasing for later when DH is at work and I can concentrate. I'm definitely up for the swap shop, as I am growing an ever more ecclectic collection of items.

Please could someone remind me if we have to wait for the bonus for reimbursement to show on the invoice before submitting or is it added later? I have the piece work showing for the project. I think it is added later from memory, but I need more coffee and don't want to mess it up.

Also, a long given-up-on item from December is finally en route. Once I've welcomed the little lost item, I guess I will have to send a ticket to ask them to reopen it on my feed as it's long since been marked not received.

tinyradish · 03/03/2021 11:06

Haven't purchased my Am items yet. Haven't got the reimbursement for last month's yet and the invoice needs to be submitted today. I don't remember it being this ast minute previously?

bookgirl1982 · 03/03/2021 11:08

You submit with the piece work showing then the reimbursement is added later. So if you're happy it is right you can submit today.

tinyradish · 03/03/2021 11:11

Oh thanks @bookgirl1982 I've done it every month and do not remember that at all. Grin

Graphista · 03/03/2021 11:13

@IrritableBitchSyndrome thanks, free taster sounds a good idea I'll look into that

rhij86 · 03/03/2021 11:15

Anyone's surveys showing up properly now on their Appen invoice?
I only started doing them last week (after about a month of near-daily emails inviting me to do them, what a waste of potential earnings that was - idiot!!)
Two of the surveys are showing on there now (5 entries total) but the one that can only be done once a week isn't showing. I didn't think to keep a note of reference numbers etc so think chasing it will be a pretty pointless waste of time.

Is anyone else waiting for the once-weekly survey to appear on their invoice (for last week specifically) or shall I just submit now and take the loss?

rhij86 · 03/03/2021 11:16

Also I've been invited to do the test for P*llock - is it worth my time?

Catatemyhomework · 03/03/2021 11:25

@rhij86, I have been taking screenshots of the survey reference numbers for evidence but I must admit when raising a ticket RE non payment, I never send these in and have never been asked. I tend to raise a ticket to say I haven't been paid for previous week and they send generic email saying it will get sorted. In my experience so far of doing the surveys, it usually does get sorted in the end although you sometimes need to chase initially.

CrepuscularCritter · 03/03/2021 11:34

Thanks @bookgirl1982. I was having one of those moments where you think you know, but you're not certain enough to hit submit.

Rad2016 · 03/03/2021 11:40

I couldn't do the pllk test as it's timer out. Couldn't log in yesterday which caused the delay. Am gutted. Not in mood to start Ar purchases yet

TheLolaMontez · 03/03/2021 11:47

Also still unable To access app without being in a private browser Hmm

blowonitthen · 03/03/2021 11:49

Lucky month for me with Am: 7 purchases; 1 skip; spent $450 Shock but 5 are from UK with good returns policies. Could get around $375 back without too much hassle but will probably keep some of the items.
Knee high boots from H&M
Folding bench for weight lifting
Makeup setting spray
Dog shampoo
Cute top for my toddler
Pasta maker
Cotswold Company wine rack

Also pleased to see some of the surveys I had given up on finally added to my App invoice.

rhij86 · 03/03/2021 11:50

@Catatemyhomework thanks - how long does it usually take to sort? Just thinking the invoice deadline for submission is tomorrow I think? Shall I chase now or just take the loss of approx 2 dollars and keep a close on it going forward?

blowonitthen · 03/03/2021 11:57

@rhij86 When that's happened to me, if it's something they should have added but get round it too late, they have added it to the next month's invoice.

Rad2016 · 03/03/2021 12:00

Can anyone get into their prolific? I can't get into mine. Making me panick now as I have just over £200 in there

AnotherOne4 · 03/03/2021 12:05

Rad2016 - sounds like I've just had the same panic attack as you! I shut everything down, restarted and still couldn't get on Angry
Just tried again though, and it works

MarigoldMoonStone · 03/03/2021 12:10

@rhij86 pol definitely worth it but you do have to be consistent at 85% quality, I got kicked off for having 83% but definitely potential for a brilliant earning. I thought it was too hard at first as was over thinking the time stamps

rhij86 · 03/03/2021 12:14

@blowonitthen thanks - I'll just submit then, and they can add it to next month. TBH I'm not faffing around for less than £2 but I'll keep a close eye on it going forward.

@Rad2016 - prolific working ok here

@MarigoldMoonStone oh ok that sounds promising, although def sounds like one I'll have to do when the kids are in bed! Thanks. Sorry you got kicked off :(

minnimiss · 03/03/2021 13:23

Am** purchases done for the month.
2 x clothing items from China
Cotswold company wall clock
Make up setting spray
Dog food
Dog grooming tool
Odd looking bag.

Mixed month again but a couple of decent items and the dogs have done well out of it 🙂

Catatemyhomework · 03/03/2021 13:38

@rhij86, I would just submit your invoice for now. You could ping them a quick ticket and submit tomorrow if still not on there. I think we have until tomorrow for invoice submission. I'm holding out until tomorrow as I have something missing too.

seizethecuttlefish · 03/03/2021 13:51

Purchasing finished here too. The most hideous jeans ever are on their way to me. Thank you for returns! Most I've ever spent but I got something I'd been after for ages but couldn't afford. Happy days.

Hi everyone, completely new to this and have just applied for Appen. I now have to choose one or more projects to qualify for. Could anyone recommend some straightforward projects to get me going, and how many should I choose ? Any help much appreciated Smile

TheHumanFund · 03/03/2021 14:22

I'm doing my purchases now and have got an advert for a takeaway 70 miles away. There's no actual delivery information so I've sent a message but does anyone know if I can skip it just by quoting the distance?

willithappen · 03/03/2021 14:38

Been watching this thread from afar and nervous to get involved but taking the plunge now and going for it!
Got one survey on prolific already :)
Just signing up for Appen now and trying to suss it out

Any beginner tips?
