So since the lockdown, Ive joined up to some of the money making stuff I see on the Moneyshed. Here;s what's happened - any help with the failures will be greatly appreciated!
1 - Increased income from Prolific
2 - Joined Clickworker, will be applying for UHRS soon. Completed a few tasks such as testing an eye recognition app and some voice utterance tasks.
3 - Ebay - ground to a halt due to lack of stock.
4 - Intellizoom - not as many invites lately, has it slowed down for anyone else?
5 - Crowdsville... way too much hassle!
6 - Appen - completed a test task, not heard anything back. Cant get onto any other page apart from 'we are reviewing your documents'. If anyone has a contact email for them, please let me know
7 - Lionbridge - submitted the form for Social Media Rating work but havent received any confirmation of it. Is there a skills evaluation test with this? How long after submitting the form do you hear from them?

Prior to lockdown, I earned £250 in month from Shepper, really looking forward to working with them again. For those of you who do Beelivery, this could tie something you could tie in with shopping trips.
Also signed up with User Testing and I Test. Never seem to be eligible for any of the tests.

Appen can take a while to get back to you as well.

Lionbridge replied to say that they currently have enough contractors with my level of social media usage. If I'd known that, I wouldve accepted the friend requests from all the loons and psychos I seem to attract in real life!

Do you make much on Clickworker?
Not yet, -so far I am up to 4.95 euros. Ive done a few of the app tests which are payable at one euro but they only take a minute. I kept logging in and seeing the UHRS info and also there was one at the foot of the page about author and proof reading work and I thought oh Ill do those when I have a minute. Theyre now not available - I contacted support and theyre off line for maintenance
Theres a task at the moment, categorise a news article - silly money at 001 euro but theyre easy enough to do if I keep the screen open whilst waiting for a bit of inspiration for my next bright idea (which needs to be MUCH brighter than the last few)

Thanks. I can’t get into my account at the min. I might have deleted it tbh but I’m waiting for them to get back to me.

That's what they said to me and quite a few others. A few weeks later I managed to get on after passing the test. Worth waiting for too.

I checked my Paypal from Prolific. The increase since Covid has been pretty immense. I've withdrawn £300 to my Paypal from Prolific in the last 6 weeks. And I've missed at least half! The 6 weeks previous it was about £80. Not that I want it to continue of course, but you know :)

That’s pretty impressive I’ve only made £20 in 10 days.

I'm into Shasta. I find it strange that there are no UK people in the project chat. There's Americans, Canadians, Irish and Aussies (as well as a bunch of other non-English speaking countries) but no one else posting from the UK which seems strange. The regulars say it is a long term project but the QC is not too transparent so you are at constant risk of being put under review or turfed out. Someone told me they just dropped someone who was on the project for 3 years with great scores because he was like a % under the passing score one month. So, my strategy is to make hay when the sun shines. I've done 60 hours this week and will do 40/week for as longas they'll keep me on.
