I liked him in the voices, will have to check that one out because I thought he did rather well in that movie
Upwork is nothing at all like Mturk. It's actually a combination of the old Elance and oDesk. They merged and made the Upwork platform, which is pretty terrible IMO. I've seen a lot of complaints that it's nowhere near as intuitive as Elance was (well, is - Elance is still around until the full migration is complete). Anyway, yes Upwork is a bidding platform and requires a resume, profile, and for some work I believe a W9. Once you're all registered there, you can search for work in your skill area(s) that's posted and bid or apply for it like the old platforms. They've got hourly listings as well as fixed price per project, I believe. Edit: Forgot to add, Crowdsource moved to their own site/workstation, so you can check there for stuff, too.
Projected Earnings for Today $152.87 Best Friday ever. Hope JS keeps it up with these multiple batches a day thing
Thanks, Morissa. That's sort of what I'm getting at, it doesn't seem like a good fit for Crowdsurf. I'm wondering whether many Mturk workers are going to go through the hassle of registering at Upwork just to do crap 30 second transcriptions. I know I don't.
Actually they probably will be by many, not me or you, but many do them. Also when you look at hits available and its constantly under 200K you will miss them from the standpoint that fewer hits are available. Most people liked to see tons of hits available even if they did not do them and that will no longer be the case for the most part.
anyways, luv u all long tiem. i should still be here for the super late night crew, but with the money i've made this week i have enough to afford finishing my bracket car.. cya
I've done work on oDesk before and it's good for a lot of stuff, but yeah, the whole job bidding platform seems like way too much work for micro jobs. Plus it's completely saturated with foreign workers willing to work for $3-4 USD an hour, so I haven't tried to find even petty work since a while before the merge.
It wouldn't make sense for Crowdsurf to do it that way considering how Upwork is set up. If they posted a transcription job, they're going to get a flood of applications they have to go through to hire a freelancer to do the job. That's going through resumes, profiles, client ratings, and pay rates for all their applicants just to hire someone. That makes no sense for a 30 second thing, so my guess without really knowing what on Earth they're doing is they're going to be putting up much longer transcriptions for that. Just taking a quick glance, the shortest transcriptions I see posted are about 30 minutes, and a lot of that is ongoing long-term work.
the name is john smith, search them up. his better batches have since died down but the .70s are good. and no i do not
I made profiles at both oDesk and Elance and I can barely take either one seriously. Elance was a bit better, but it'd take a lot of digging to find something even remotely worth bidding on, and when you did, you'd be 1 out of 60 people vying for the job. Just not my cup of tea.
Well folk, as much as I'd love to stay up with you all. My trainer kicked my behind today and I'm about to collapse. Night!
Crowdsource is going downhill. Less work available, too many quals, and their payment is slowing down. They still owe me $17 from work I did a week ago. It's not even pending, they haven't even approved/denied my work yet.
I don't care for those too much but to each his own. My fav was that huge 8 cent batch he had where you capped out at 500 But to Spock, just be wary that he has been known to block people and and even reject so I've heard. That being said, I've done thousands of his hits and he's high up on my list. Some of us love him to death and some can't stand him but he's still my sugardaddy
Even with Masters I still do them when there's nothing else available, as they're one of the better-paying requesters that almost always have HITS up. Unfortunately, the hours that I'm available to turk are very limited and don't typically coincide with the times when the best work gets posted.
