@Jayro152:

Thanks re: your remark about my challenge :)

TextRanch: Did you sign up through the 'Register' link at the top of the home page (that's for customers)? Or did you use the 'click here to begin' link at the very bottom under 'Are you an English Expert'?
.

Thanks for getting back to me.

I clicked on the 'Register' link at the top, then once I'd entered my details and logged in I clicked on the link you mentioned at the bottom and I added myself to the subscription list. I feel I may have over complicated it! haha!

@Jayro152 - Yeah, I think you may have!

Anyway, you've signed up through the bottom link and that's the important thing :)

Good luck with your application.

Was a good day :).

Now, if Prolific could give me a few surveys, that would be nice. Ever since the site's changed, I've had nothing. I know there are less surveys available because of the time of the year. I hope that's the reason.

With prolific I seem to get studies in waves. I can get 3 or 4 a day for a few days and then a week of nothing at all.

@Becky1402 - Thanks for letting me know. I'll wait a week and see how it goes. I think it's my third or fourth day of having no studies at all.

@Jon - Thank you! I don't think I'm gonna hit my target this month, but I'm appreciative of what I've made so far, plus there's still a few weeks to go.

My blog: Ahh, it's been a while. I might go back to it. We'll see. / Thanks about the compliment re: content. :)

Hi misseb,

Good luck with your challenge!

Have you already tried "usertesting?" They never seem to be short of tests on there :)

Thanks, @Savvy cash, and thanks for the suggestion.

I tried Usertesting some years ago - once. I wasn't particularly great at talking my way through it. However, I might take another look.

Hi what sort of proofreading is it? Do you need any particular skills?

@ZZZ: It's mostly proofreading for folks who need some help with their English. / The company asks that you be a native English speaker or an English expert.

Ah ok so long as you don’t need to be an academic or something. I can manage English just not complicated grammar!

Hi,

I have just subscribed using the link at the bottom. I haven’t even had an email acknowledgment of it.

How long did it take you from signing up to start earning? And what sort of tests do they put you through? I audio type so pretty sure I’d pass them but just wondered.

Thanks x

Hi, @maisiemog

Was there any confirmation on the subscription page after you submitted the form?

How long did it take you from signing up to start earning? ---- My process was different as I found the company (last year) through a different platform called MTurk (signed up years ago). MTurk is a crowdsourcing site with lots of mini tasks submitted by various individuals and companies. I started earning there when a task was completed and approved. / The proofing company now runs its own platform. I don't know how soon you'll start earning there from when you sign up because that's not the route I took to get to them.

And what sort of tests do they put y through? ---- I don't know what sort of test you'll be given. However, I feel it'll be fairly straightforward. Though I don't recall a test with them, I don't recall anything being hard or tricky with them in order to start work.
