Hi all! I have an interesting little task here from Isoftstone for people around the Manchester area. It's a paid voice recording session that takes about an hour for £30 :) The job involves coming in person to our venue in Salford where we'll guide you in recording 500 short phrases. It's a...

Re: A guide to What Users Do. Yes, I've got that too. Currently struggling to get through the screening test - the software runs fine by itself, just when their screen cap thing is running it seems to cause the phone to disconnect after about 2 minutes which I presume they wont be keen on ::)

To be honest I find this forum quite active for only 572 members, some you wouldn't believe how quiet they are despite having thousands.

So now they're withholding training pay for almost two months (btw it would probably be $300, that's what it was a year ago), they've recently cut pay, and they still have that 20 hours of 'simulated work' thing? I commend you for your decision to not go ahead with this application, as I feel...

Re: Textbroker Interested to know if there is actually any work with the proofreading - I tried and failed the test a while back and kind of forgotten about it since!

Wow, missed out on the 63336 thing going down :o Hope you guys find something even better soon When I lost my first contract gig with Lionbridge, I did feel pretty shell-shocked for a day or two because I'd just started to build up some savings with that job. I lost out on money because it...

Anyone else got 440 queries loaded now? Earlier it was reloaded to 230 ish despite me doing quite a few yesterday. EDIT: and now we're back to 229 :o

Yeah, got that email. I agree that this project doesn't seem quite ready for the wild yet..

I'm having a go with the training queries. I think this task is fairly simple but some of the examples I'm coming across are just flat out wrong, and seem poorly researched. If this is representative of on-the-job audits, then I'm not sure this job will be any more reasonable than Appen...

Definitely! The extra couple of quid they were offering was what made me do it...

Good job on finding this company Jon, rate of pay is not bad at all for an intro transcription job. Will be applying here post-holiday in a couple of weeks, sure it wont be easy but worth a go I think.

Just checked my email and I'm invited on this too. I appreciate the smaller chunk of work TBH, last time I tried it on a smartphone and the browser crashed :o

It's not just online money, it's many things in life. I think people do tend to go in circles, perhaps believing lightning/luck will strike, rather than researching and making a few intelligent decisions that could (with appropriate effort) change things. Research is the most important thing...

Thanks! I do write but more for supplementary cash than real income right now. Textbroker is my platform of choice for that, since you can choose from a pool of articles and pick what you have time for. It's worth putting in your best effort with your example article if you sign up so as to...

Hi, first post! Jon gave me a heads up about this place on the green site ;D I got started while completely unemployed just a few years ago. I had no conception that online freelance stuff could be a possibility, but came across an ad for 'writers wanted' on gumtree, which turned out to be for a...
