Yeah! I managed to get back on awhile ago did a few then it stopped half way though and got sent to ‘your queue is empty’ message again

My queue is empty again. I hope we get some answers soon, this all seems really weird, especially as everything I'd heard about Appen before was that they were good to work for but it was hard to get signed up with them, we seem to have had the opposite experience!

Welcome to the world of WSE type work folks!

Long instructions
huge guidelines
Time difference which causes delays on emails.

Those of you that are doing the work i'm sure are doing fine. They will do reviews and let you know if things aren't fine so until then I really wouldn't worry.

As for invoicing it's usual with all these companies to just invoice for the time you spend doing the work - that's it!

Did 2 hours work, invoice for 2 hours work on the timesheet page.

I think because everyone is working from home doing this it can create a sense on unease because it's not like when you are given a new task to do in a regular 9-5 job and can ask your colleague next to you.

Right, this appen thing is getting very confusing! I've signed up with crowdflower, because that's what they told me to do, but cannot see any work. I was initially allotted the Raven Project work, but now don't know what I'm doing. Is anyone else confused?

I think the Crowdflower work has all been done. The Raven work also seems to have dried up. Whether it's all done or if there's some other reason, I don't know.

spelling correction. After complained I get this email "Apologies for the delay! At this point it looks like the project is not going to proceed." :(:(:(

Sods law that when we had to do the tasks Friday-Sunday I had other commitments and now that I am free to give my full attention, the tasks have dried up!

Can people please confirm whether they have inputted the total hours worked into the Time Report section for the RAVEN project (NOT crowdflower one).

I have not done this as the email said that Appen would be keeping track of this - and I only have an estimate of actual hours I did (forgot to make a note of when I started the first one). Not sure whether I trust them to input it though and would hate to lose my 'wages'.

Also, is there a time limit for submitting hours each week?

Many thanks :)

I have only entered the 4 hours I did on Crowdflower not the work I completed on Appen Global. Hope this is correct and I will also be paid for the 6 hours that they were tracking.

The spelling correction work started last week and finished a couple of days ago. I’m not sure what’s happened, it did say it was first come first served :-(

The work I did on the WSE for week 29/11 - 30/11 has been marked as paid. I never reported my hours.

do you really think I was so idiot and didnt check global appen? :D I did sign 2 weeks ago and until now I have "pending review" notice, without any chance to start doing it.
Last my job was with Raven which I was terminated after 1 month (with 6 months contract!!!). Now this fail. Better will go do to surveys. :cool:

A lot of the Appen projects are very short and over in a blink. It is best to have other main income and just use these as top up to your other income. You do get the odd project that lasts longer but in my experience these are few and far between. I don't mind most of the projects I've worked on but it is very much fastest fingers first. They often have delayed starts and it can be frustrating if you have other commitments that clash but stick with them I have earnt decent amounts with them over the years.

I reported one hour I did last Friday (before we got the email saying only report Crowdflower tasks and not the rest), also feeling a little nervous as I can't see anywhere where they are recorded.
