The weekend's usually slow, plus I wasn't on the computer as much.

Hi, @sprakash85.

Please do not take this the wrong way. I'm only going by what you've written (which is only a snapshot), but based on that, I'd say work on your written English. The stronger you are with that, the better position you'll be in to proofread (qualify for proofreading positions).

Update:

This week - last stretch to make as much as I can before the month's out.


Proofreading:

I get paid on the 27th for my main proofreading gig. That's where most of my online earnings come from, so I really have until then to make the bulk of what I can.

I'm very proud of how much I've made there, and that most of my rent will be paid with that, if not all.


Transcription:

The transcription gig isn't quite panning out the way I hoped, so I'm not really focusing on that.


MTurk:

Is actually going okay. I didn't suffer through the process of making the £12 I've made so far this month. I tend to go with the tasks I like (or don't hate!) and don't take too long. I will never make as much as someone in the US can make there, but I'll take that £12, thank you!

I've now made £100 more than I did in August!

I'm not likely to hit £535 this month (there can be miracles, though. lol!), but it's definitely an improvement on last month, I say. :)

Hi, @misseb - sounds like you have found something that works well for you. I applied to TextRanch as you suggested but have still not had any replies from them at all - not even an acknowledgement email :( May try and get in touch again, just in case they need a prompt.

Hi, @Knopfler. Yes, it's going well for me, and I'm grateful.

I'm sorry you haven't heard anything back from them yet. I'm really not aware of their process via their site as that's not the way I got the job. Maybe they're keeping folks on file for the future; I don't know.

I'll send them an email too.

Thanks, that would be great @misseb - as it would be helpful to at least know what their current situation is regards recruiting :)

Update:

My final total for September is £361.75. This is a BIG improvement on the £206.54 I made in August.


October:

I've been okay not hitting the £535 target I set myself in Aug & Sept, but I really need to smash it this month. It's less about working more (though there's that too), and more about working smarter - streamlining the way I work. For me, that means going to bed earlier, waking up earlier, getting more into a routine, focusing on/visualising what I want, self belief, and generally taking better care of myself.

Oct Earnings

Sooo, for my main proofreading gig, I get paid on the 27th of every month, so anything earned after that rolls into October's pay. I'm therefore including Sept 28th, 29th and 30th in Oct.


Proofreading:

- Sept 28th - 30th: £31.05

- Oct 1st: £10.44

Total: £41.49/£535
