I saw this email but unless it's more money then is it worth doing? I'd have to read and learn more.

I got the survey and said I didn't want to do it. Unless I misread it, it just means you would have to be familiar with the rules for both platforms and could be rating for either. It complicates things and there's no extra money for it. Why would you agree to that?

extra money = yes

no extra money = no

I would say that there is no extra money. I'm on a long term project and the work is varied which means as well as the original guidelines I learnt for the exam, I often have to learn a new set of guidelines and there is no warning, you start a task realise you've never done it before, have to read through the new guidelines which are often several pages long and you are not paid for any of the time.

Can someone explain to me in dummy terms how the world market works? Lionbridge have added me to their 'workcloud' there but I've no idea how I go about finding things to apply for? Most of the jobs I see aren't remote jobs.

I got the survey and ignored it, as others have said the other rating is more aggro. Today I got an email to say that due to a reduction in the need for rating I was being laid off and put on the reserve list until things pick up. Shame, it's been a lovely earner for me at a time when my other side income streams have died off.

WorkMarket is just used for onboarding and payments - have you already applied for social media rating work?

I have, I applied for appen at the same time though and as you can't do that role for both at the same time I emailed lionbridge and told them I was accepted to appen, so therefor couldn't do the job for them. They replied thanking me and said they'd add me to the workmarket as I could apply for other jobs there.

Assume I was given incorrect information?

There's another thread about applying for the linguistic annotation project through Workmarket. You do the qualifying tests on the Workmarket platform.

I feel sure I've read this before but can't remember where but you can't rate ads from outside the UK, right? Even if you are just abroad for a week on holiday.

Had to Google it but found the original application info and it says "all rating must be done within the UK." I also read somewhere that you can't use a VPN as they have a way of detecting it. Never mind, will have to find a replacement income stream if I decide to head abroad for a while.

Anyone had trouble with ad rating tonight? I completed last nights then did the bake off but gone back to it to do it tonight and it's gone straight to the bake off page. So I've completed bake off but no ads

Hi, I applied for the Social Media Evaluators as well and was invited to the work market, did all the tests and signed agreements. It says to click a link as well which takes me back to the original form in which I applied for. Just wondering if I have to sit and wait for an email or do I need to do something else?

I left it an hour and it worked OK. Looks like a common error as its on the support FAQ

Does anyone know about a Lionbridge transcription project? When I go to WorkMarket it’s saying I have an available job.

I know you’re only meant to do one project though?

What makes you think you can only do one project?
