I couldn't see a November thread so have copied the list from last month.

I've been on these threads for aaages now, but have been incredibly lazy lately!

So now it is November and those extra pennies could really come in handy, let's all try and boost our Christmas spending money.

Huge thank you to @otterses for setting this up and to everyone who has contributed and kept it going !!

Is anyone here on project Ykn with Appen? I applied ages ago and have just been sent an email with guidelines etc and to say I've been entered for the exam.

Wondering how difficult/intense it is as I'm a bit scarred by the LB maps exam and haven't attempted that one again even though they do still email me from time to time and ask.

Buster27 · 10/11/2021 16:02

@mothcontain I am, think it was a couple of months ago I did the exam. Honestly I did find it a bit intense as there's a lot of guidelines and 3 exams. I made a bit of a mess on my first attempt (failed part 2) but I was more relaxed on the second go (as I just assumed I'd fail again Grin) and passed all three.

You do get a week to do the process so if you can make use of the whole week/spread things out a bit it might be less intense. Also, try not to put pressure on yourself (you'll probably get a second attempt if you need/want it) and don't overthink it.

mothcontain · 10/11/2021 16:21

@Buster27 thanks for that, congratulations on passing. I'm off to a good start as the link they gave me for the general guidelines doesn't work so have had to email them.

Adelais · 10/11/2021 17:14

No had anything in Appen for ages but have been invited to do the exam for project Ante , is anyone on this? Also just been accepted on project Moya but think I’ve got to wait for access to the tool.

flloyd · 10/11/2021 17:33

I was so delighted to be accepted onto Appen project N* and have trundled along doing that only today I logged in fine only to find that all of my projects (4 of which I am only active on the one) have vanished!! Bits of the page are missing too; I can't see all of the projects available - is anyone else having that issue?

Also been invited to take the exam for Yk* so need to read up the guidelines which I can access. I have raised a ticket but my DD reckons it's a system problem...Has anyone experienced this before? Slightly terrified that they have just chucked me lol!! I loved the regularity of this little project and now don't want to not have that work. :(

AdaShelby · 10/11/2021 17:37

Can anyone access Appen at the moment?

8dpwoah · 10/11/2021 18:23

I've had the Yu* email too, will see how that goes!

@adelais I've qualified for Anc* but not able to access it yet, but the chat is really busy so it looks like it's worth a bash.

bumblefeline · 10/11/2021 19:19

Been invited to Y*n as well. Been working on and off for Appen for 6 years now. Guidelines looks complicated but will try my best.

onemouseplace · 10/11/2021 21:08

I can update my invoice on Ap* but can't access any of the projects on the website.

I did some work this morning on a mobile srt and it hadn't saved when I went back to finish it this evening, so I assume that must be connected (although I was pretty annoyed at the time as I ended up having to redo it).

kneesknocking · 10/11/2021 22:25

@bumblefeline @8dpwoah @flloyd @mothcontain Good luck to you all taking the Yu* exam. I had a similar experience as Buster27 failed one part but was able to resit and then surprisingly passed. I would say that I did find the guidelines much more straightforward than a lot of the shorter guidelines for other jobs. It is very time consuming studying and taking the exams but hopefully it's worth it to be on a long term project. What surprised me is the variety of tasks available when you start the job, most but not all based on aspects of the guidelines. Fairly nerve wracking coming across so many different jobs but I am finding it quite interesting. Smile

Orchid789 · 10/11/2021 22:43

Hi Everyone,

Completely new to this. Need some work to fill in a few months while I am at home. How much do sites like Appen pay. For example how much do people average per hour. ( if that is how it works?)

curdsandwhey · 10/11/2021 22:50

Bear in mind that it can take months and months to get approved by Appen. I applied in April 2020 and although I got approved to work for them, I've never actually got any paid work. If you want to earn money straight away, you'll need to try some other things first.

Itsnotallaboutyoubaby · 10/11/2021 22:55

Thank you. Joined A*n

8dpwoah · 10/11/2021 23:06

That's good to hear @kneesknocking I wasn't sure what sort of task it might be, I know what you mean about thorough guidelines possibly being a massive plus over some projects!

@Orchid789 I can earn about £10 a day on my one hour project plus another 10 dollars a week doing the FB surveys. But if you want to be a bit more in control of your earnings the transcription sites are good as you can do as much or as little as you can fit in, rather than waiting to drop onto jobs as as @curdsandwhey says it can take ages to get onto anything meaty on App, I had 6 months where it was just the FB surveys. But it can build up, if I can pass the exam for another project that will potentially double my monthly earnings on App.

onemouseplace · 11/11/2021 10:48

I've had the Yu* exam email as well this morning. Let's see how it goes as it would be good to get another long term project.

onemouseplace · 11/11/2021 11:28

@flloyd I can't access the Yu* guidelines either. I find with Ap it quite often takes a couple of days for things like permissions to work through their systems.

Homebird36 · 11/11/2021 12:27

Hi, I have been asked to take the test on App** for Riv. I need to sign some documents and take a test but when I click on the link for the guidelines which I need to read before taking the test I just get taken back to the page were all of the projects are listed. Do you think the project is now full or maybe the link is just broken? Is anyone else experiencing this problem.or you have experience this before?
I was excited to get the email to take the test but now gutted I can't access the guidelines.
Thank you

Yes, it can. The problem I have atm is that I have been working on projects but now they have just vanished on my 'My Projects'. Invoices are still live, as is the chat and everything else but not the projects to work on...:( Hopefully an issue at Appen's end not mine!!

ffloogalBoom · 12/11/2021 15:05

Thinking of signing up for Rev - is there much regular work? Looks like you have to set up as a freelancer. I only earned £50 for the whole of last year doing this so not been successful enough to have to set it all up yet.

Orchid789 · 12/11/2021 19:13

Could someone explain why some users use stars in some of their words like above Ap*?

Sorry genuine question

8dpwoah · 12/11/2021 19:47

I think you could sit on Rev all day and keep busy @ffloogalBoom if you weren't too fussy about the files you worked on.

@orchid789 it's because most of the Appen projects have NDAs and things like that attached so they have to be mentioned in a way that you would only know the project if you were on the 'inside' and signed up for Appen if you see what I mean.

onemouseplace · 12/11/2021 21:34

@mothcontain

Wondering how difficult/intense it is as I'm a bit scarred by the LB maps exam and haven't attempted that one again even though they do still email me from time to time and ask.

I've started reviewing the guidelines today for Ykn and realised I need way more time than I have this week to review them properly and do the exam, so have put my exam back as I think I need a pretty clear week to do it properly.

My Projects is still blank for me as well, so I'd prefer to wait for that to get sorted before I do it as well.

Orchid789 · 12/11/2021 21:41

thank you for the explanation makes sense

AdaShelby · 12/11/2021 22:25

Because they'll sack you if they catch you talking about it.

Crisp monitor these threads too so people are much more guarded with the information given now.
