This is more of a life thing than a Fiverr thing, so it's not in the money discussions:). So, last year I finally got Paypal, tried out Mturk, learned about transcription. This was wonderful since, because of very stupid and...

cluelle Heh, thank you. I'm not sure I'd use the term "passive" income, since you certainly need to put in the work, but MTurk is basically a task site run by the Amazon.com company. You can do a variety of tasks, but need to exercise good judgment to avoid scammers....

I finally downloaded the Mozilla Firefox browser and Flash so I could hopefully take on work with an Australian transcriptin company called Appenscribe. Has anyone worked for them, have any review of their treatment of workers or...

cluelle Thanks for the information, Lucky. I'm trying to stop myself from obsessively checking my e-mail for a message from them right now!

cluelle I did see that one, but as the last first-hand account was from 2010, perhaps I should ask if there are workers now who are STILL happy with Appenscribe :). I've noticed many online companies can change character in a short time.

I just found this EHow article that explains much more succinctly than I can how to look out for scams on MTurk, but also WHY these things you see are scams. I'm not linked to this article in any way, so I hope the link is allowed...

cluelle I don't have a knack for article writing, but I will take those short, 150-word rewrites. You're not given a lot of material, but it takes four minutes to find an extra pertinent detail and create a blurb. It's kind of fun. Otherwise, I actually really like...

cluelle That's very true, but speaking as a casual user, I think you can develop a sense for when something is risky or not - with the additional help of one or two virus protection programs. You look for clues, like the way material is advertised to you, quickly scan...

I read from some forums that microworkers failed to pay their worker lately. Is this a legit site? I have join this site but I am far from pay-out.

cluelle I THINK it is legitimate... I made $8 back when they said they did Paypal, but they switched to a less well known bank (in North America, anyway), and the reviews on it were of poor customer service and horrible service charges, so I was never able to take out...

cluelle I've noticed the slump, as well. I think it's about the best gigs rising to the top, while the lower quality or less desirable gigs get buried. I have a transcription gig right now. My pattern (as of four or five months ago)was: initial notice, summer...

cluelle It is a quality control job. You're marking whether the right client was reached, or if a customer was able to talk to the right person, or if a message was left. It's as simple as clicking a button, or typing in the point, in seconds, when the target had a...

cluelle I'm American, but live in Canada. Mostly, calling a soda a "pop" is the biggest difference here. My accent is apparenlty "eastern US", since a woman here said I sounded like her cousin from Maine. I think Canadians in my region have much lazier elocution -...

cluelle It's ridiculous how often I have this conversation with myself (a good trait for a future ghost?) I believe if you can choose to be a ghost, there are a lot of other things that are true. So you don't need to be tortured, and you don't need to stay if you're...
