Signing in. I made around £200 last month. Mostly from my Print On Demand stuff (Merch by Amazon, Etsy, Amazon KDP, and Teachers Pay Teachers) but also Crisp and uTest. I'm spreading myself thin amongst many things as usual. Can't bring myself to focus on one thing properly, and make more money. Grin

Also did a few hours of overtime at work which is a far more efficient way of earning money so made well over my £10 a day target.

MIL suggested I get a "little job" opening and closing a local community centre - a minimum wage job. She was a bit confused when I said I could make more than that at home in my pyjamas without worrying about childcare or travel. Grin

MrsWombat · 04/04/2022 21:26

Whoops not sure why that posted twice! I've got a counter app on my phone that I use while peeling potatoes so I know I've definitely hit my daily target before the dashboard updates. It's been useful the past couple of days.

@MrsWombat I'm interested to hear more about the print on demand? Smile

Catatemyhomework · 04/04/2022 22:19

@ruralwanderer, hello everyone and thanks for the new thread. I made around £600 in March from Ykn and my LB project. Although barely done anything on LB. Really need to get back in to that before they boot me off for lack of productivity.
I still struggle on with Ykn. I don't know how much longer they'll keep me but I hope I stay on. It's still scary and difficult sometimes but a consistent earner that I have to keep on top of so that's good. Hoping I get selected for Sho**e tomorrow too. 🤞

Gatekeeper · 05/04/2022 06:41

Ooo, Ive got the Sho**e email! Will start that when I get in from work later. Wonder what delights awaits me Grin. Anyone else?

Redcrayons · 05/04/2022 07:43

No Amur email for me. My last item in March came the day after the upload deadline so possibly because of that.

ilovesouthlondon · 05/04/2022 07:47

@N0va Print on Demand is where you design something you think people would want on a t-shirt, upload it to Merch by Amazon, Redbubble etc. Someone spots the t-shirt on Amazon, buys it, and Amazon gives you a cut of the profits. The design isn't printed onto the t-shirt until someone buys it. KDP is similar but with books, I design a book cover and the insides (most people start off with lined paper then move on to colouring books, journals, and puzzles) My best selling niches for both are (unsurprisingly) mum/female/feminist related.

I've also recently branched out into Etsy and printables, and also selling a few of my feminist designs on mugs. I use Printify for this. It's rather stressful hoping the third party printer gets it right which is why I haven't put much stuff on. The printables are puzzles similar to what I put in my KDP books but designed for printing at home.

It's very much a pocket money hobby for me, and it's what I do when I'm not on Crisp or uTest. I use an ancient copy of Photoshop for the graphics and my home copy of powerpoint. I have a Creative Fabrica subscription and get my clip art and fancy fonts from there and also enjoy buying spending all my profits on unique PLR graphics from independent artists.

There is plenty of stuff out there on YouTube for how to get started. Don't spend any money. You can start with the free version of Canva.

N0va · 05/04/2022 09:33

@MrsWombat that sounds amazing! I think that could definitely be something good for you to focus on Smile
I would love to give it a go but have zero creative ability! Grin
Like drop shipping but for printed designs I suppose?

[/quote]
It's a very similar concept to drop shipping, and the mugs I sell on Etsy is a mixture of dropshipping and POD. I'm not very creative either. Most of my designs are text-based, but I also use clip art from Creative Fabrica. With the colouring book pages I layer a background with text or clip art on top so it's relatively simple to do. (Like this but better) With puzzles, I bought software (with a months profits) which paid for it's self very quickly, but isn't making me millions.

YonderTweek · 05/04/2022 09:45

I was surprised to receive the A**r email last night. I didn't even do the frantic checking of the rating tool because I didn't want to get my hopes up. Funnily my first purchase was a weird colour changing lamp but I had to skip it due to website error. Then the second purchase was the same lamp but this time it worked. Grin Look forward to filling my house with more stuff...

Lifeisforalimitedperiodonly · 05/04/2022 10:56

I got the Am*r email last night too, after a break of a few months. Only 4 items, 2 were skips and 2 are junk. Still fun doing it though!

RiverSkater · 05/04/2022 19:29

I wish Crisp would fix the dashboard.

And stop telling us off like little children for not working for pennies in the day and preferring to log on when there is a surge (more work needs attention and they pay a bit more to clear it)

If they paid better I would work more in the day, but they choose to recruit more people to pay them a pittance as well rather than up their rates and pay the experienced people they have.

They make millions.

Rant over! 😣

Redcrayons · 05/04/2022 20:18

@RiverSkater lols at the ‘how dare you try and maximise your earnings’ message. It’s only profitable when the queues are busy. They certainly have an interesting approach to employee comms.
The problem is they’ve got people queuing up to join them so they can do what they like.

coffeencrochet · 05/04/2022 20:22

It was my first month on prolific and I'm pleased with my £60 Smile also £30 split between Qmee and Attapoll. I find these best to fit in around my working day since I'm stuck in front of the laptop all day anyway!

stillherenow · 05/04/2022 21:19

Yeah I looked in at potatoes today and decided it wasn't worth it ! Seems to have been quiet all day

Spirogyra · 05/04/2022 21:23

l'm getting annoyed by the seeming lack of interest in fixing the dashboard, mine only stopped working on 1st april but many people have been reporting it for weeks, getting sick of the only response being ' it is being looked into'.
I saw the message today, don't they realise not having a way to see the size of queues puts some people off from trying to work?
I thought they had already recruited a lot of new people, it is now 650, & I thought it was below 530 just a few months ago, or have l remembered that wrong? I remember last year I think, when there were over 800, there were regular messages on slack complaining about the standard of work.

Adelais · 05/04/2022 21:36

I hate the dashboard not working, im finding I can’t get motivated to work when I can’t see how much im earning. I can’t help but think there’s something else going on, surely they should have fixed it by now.

RiverSkater · 05/04/2022 22:44

Glad it's not just me. Why don't they just pay a better rate? I would work more consistently 🤷‍♀️

whysotriggered · 06/04/2022 00:52

@RiverSkater

Had exactly the same discussion last month! Someone asked about paying a better rate and we were told that they are looking into changing the payment structure and we would hear about it soon. However, there has been no mention of it so who knows whether it will actually be anything concrete.
