Hi guys. Did any of you manage to replace Lionbridge with Appen after your year of rating ads finished?

Should probably add I did a year with Leapforce first, when they were still a separate company. Then a gap, then the year with Lionbridge, although I ended that early when bubs was born. Then I started with Appen early this year, so this is my 3rd time around on the same work, although I've done both desktop and mobile. It has changed a fair bit though, used to only be 20 ads in an hour!

Appen seems to be an absolute PITA .... accepted for project Newhalen, signed up and into the tasking tools but can't see the job anywhere, click on 'work this' and it just leads to the Newhalen project homepage! , which has no information on how to get to the job.

You have to wait for the e mail with the link and click on that and then it will let you do the survey

My Lionbridge contract finishes soon. Any Appen projects that you cannot do straight after Lionbridge? Or can I get started on them now?

Now that some work has (finally) come my way from Appen - I really want to get on with it after passing the tests .... but ..... Project Pollock leads to a 504 link, and Project Cheyenne says my voice is too low by task 15 !

Am I unlucky ? Or is this just the way of things with Appen ?

Ive applied for a few on Appen, they take ages to get back to you.

Apologies if already covered. Payoneer (sent there by Appen) need me to answer a load of questions about my 'business' before my account can be verified.

I never told them I had a business so I'm wondering if everyone else had these questions and how they answered them.

Yeah I had to answer those a few weeks ago and was quite confused, too.

I can't remember what the questions were specifically, but for the website ones I just put the URL for connect.appen website. Just choose the options which are closest to you, even if not completely accurate.

It was all accepted immediately after so they didn't check manually.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but have any of you who work for Appen, or any other company that pays in USD, found a way to withdraw or convert your earnings without being hit by Paypal's awful currency conversion rates? or at least found a way to minimise the hit?

I transfer my earnings to https://wise.com/ , which is free to do, then into my bank from there. The exchange rate is much better. Don't forget to put any fees down as an expense on your tax return too.

I looked into this as I saw someone suggest it elsewhere, but it looks like Paypal have made it nigh on impossible for UK accounts to add Wise accounts now. Can I ask when you set it up?
