    Coronavirus Discussion How is Mystery Shopping / Smartphone Task app work going to work after Coronavirus?

    I've been doing 'mystery shopping' work for a good few years now, at the moment there is no work, because none of the shops, restaurants, hotels etc I do mystery customer jobs for are open due to the virus. I agree that the fees have become very low and there is no way I am going to wait in a...

    Lionbridge [OT] Telus International / Lionbridge Work Opportunities

    This sounds very like the ad rating work I was doing for Appen! I might apply, I miss the money I was making but had the leave the project as for some reason I stopped being able to access the rating tool, and Appen were less than helpful, so as I couldn't do the work I asked to be taken off the...

    Yes it's rating facebook ads. I found it fairly easy but the audits on my work are putting me off a bit.

    Appen [OT] Appen Work Opportunities

    Thanks for that, at least I know I'm not the only one, I'm just finding them hard to please at the moment. Will keep re-reading the guide rules and see how it goes. I do think that in with the criticisms it would be nice if they could mention the good ratings, would be a bit more encouraging.

    Paid to test websites

    I have used UserTest.io, haven't had any invitations for a while though. It's testing websites, I was given questions that I had to find the answers to from various websites, basically to find out how easy the site was to navigate and how easy to find information. It is done via audio so I had...

    Lionbridge [OT] Telus International / Lionbridge Work Opportunities

    There are some jobs that you need facebook for but plenty that you don't. I don't use facebook much, though I do have an account. I've only just been accepted for the Nile project so not sure of the details but sure you don't need facebook.

    Lionbridge [OT] Telus International / Lionbridge Work Opportunities

    Well, I'm having real probs with this one. Apparently it's now been taken over by Appen, and I can't work out how to apply? I go to the page to apply and because I've already registered with Appen, it just sends me back to the Appen projects page, and there is no web search evaluator jobs going...

    Haggling in charity shops

    Interesting thread. We have a huge amount of charity shops in the small town I live in, but I would never haggle, the charities need all the money they can get. That said there are only a few charity shops I go into, the prices in most of them have gone ridiculous, and the prices are not far...
