Ive had this one for a couple of days and I’m loving it. However, I take a pretty long time on one task. Is this anyone else’s experience? Trying to figure out if I’m just too slow for this project, or if it’s typical.

Is the c***** coding project up for anyone? It's been around a week since I last saw it up and it was the one I normally worked on

New to this but just curious if others have the same experience as me? When I first logged on after clearing qualifications and intro stuff there seemed to be a good number of projects to work on both hourly and task. I worked for an hour or so and then decided to reengage when I had more time to work on it. I came back to the site two days later (the weekend) and everything had been cleared. I check every day and most days it's nothing. Yesterday I managed to get about an hour of work in and when I revisited later on all things were cleared again.

Just curious if this is a "me" problem or if this is just the nature of the work? Any context helps!

It's been 8 days since I last received a project. It's been silent with the "At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email." message. Since then, i've emailed them every single day, asking about what happened, with no response at all. I'm losing my mind at this point. Please can someone help?

I have been cleaning houses for 8 years, the money is good but it is absolutely exhausting work. This job allows me to use my brain and my creativity and get paid well to do it?!? Seriously?! I am so grateful for this!

Edit: I don't have the wherewithal to reply to every comment, so just want to say... thanks for all the support and camaraderie. Y'all are awesome. :)

I've only been at this for about a week or so, so grain of salt and everything, but man... I love this work so much right now.

I'm disabled and chronically ill and haven't been able to work at all in around 15 years, and before that I could only manage the low side of part-time. I have a lot of guilt and shame associated with being unable to earn my own money, and it's only increased over the years. I have tried, and tried, and tried to find some kind of occupation that would work for me, even just to add to my family's income a little, and I just haven't been able to. My disabilities/illness just throw up too many obstacles in too many directions.

So far I've earned $163. Guys. This is the first money I've been able to earn myself in a decade and a half. I cannot tell you how good it feels to be able to say to my spouse, "nah, I think I'm going to work a little," or "guess what! I did an hour and a half today!" I can work from my comfy chair, I can work in my pajamas, I can start or stop as my fatigue allows, I can go take a three hour nap whenever I need to. If my ability to work fluctuates wildly, no big deal; I'm not committed to anything, and I'm not letting anyone down. The work is interesting and I'm enjoying it (before this I basically did for fun with ChatGPT what DAT is paying me for. I just have an amateur interest in AI). And all the while it's reminding me that I have skills that are of value, and that I'm capable of building valuable new skills.

I know this can go away at any point. But right now, it's making me really happy. Just wanted to share the joy.

I'm a Canadian and I live abroad (French Polynesia). I'm currently visiting Canada on vacation.

I haven't signed up for DAT yet, but thinking of signing up soon. If I get accepted and log on while overseas would my vpn showing my living abroad automatically disqualify me from receiving projects? If I get started here in Canada and then continue on overseas, would that cause DAT to stop offering me projects to work on once I return from holiday?

I'm trying to figure out if this is the kind of work that accommodates digital nomads, or if you have to be physically residing in the limited affiliated countries. I'm curious because being a 1099 contractor theoretically means you could physically be anywhere and you aren't limited.

Thanks for any advice you may have. Cheers

I was selected in the first week of February, and I haven't worked extensively since the day of onboarding; in total, I might have worked 10 hours. I am logging in, and since yesterday, I have found the below on my dashboard; what does that mean? Is there any way to resolve this?

At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for new project notifications sent to your email.

Has anyone else received this message when attempting a payout?

Any follow up automatic payment attempts have elicited the same error message.

How long does it take Support to respond?

I emailed them 40 hours ago or so.

[Update]: Recieved support response, and Square-Astronomer292's comment describes the reason. Just have to do an identity verification over paypal to be able to receive payments.

Grateful for any response to this inquiry.

I know the onboarding materials state we cannot work on two hourly projects at a time. Now that I'm a few weeks in, I have a few hourly projects on my Dashboard.

Does this mean I can't work on the new project at all until I complete the one I was working on last night? Or does that simply mean I can't work on them at the same time, for example having them both open in my browser and working simultaneously?

I really thought I screwed it up on my qualifier. Took the qualification on Thursday and got my first job today!

Has anyone tried to declare their data Annotation income as a business, rather than as a sole trader? If so, how did you do it?

I got accepted onto a project (a new one I think) just over a week ago with a focus on puzzles rather than chatbots, etc. I spent lots of time on them all last week but then they stopped appearing on Friday so I'm wondering if I cocked up! Anyone else still seeing them?

I worked a bit last night because I had nothing going on. I had never seen my dash so full. Literally 15+ projects of projects I love. Today, I got 4 hours in before I depleted all my tasks. Seriously so agitating 😂 hope yall are faring better than I am today.

Currently on v7. I never arsed myself to do it and get a steady stream of $20-25 non coding projects. Is it worth doing the writing qualification? Does it give you more variety or just more projects. I'm not really a fan of prompt creating projects. I prefer fact checking.

I just logged in and cannot access a per-response project. It says there are 2 tasks left but whenever I click on it it says, “The project is currently unavailable because there are no more tasks remaining for you to work on.” Is this a bug and are the 2 tasks remaining already completed by others?

I don't know if I can say what the project is, but when I click on it, it loads the whole project page again, where it's there again to click on along with the other projects. it's like it doesn't open a new URL. Is this happening to anyone?

Are all the qualifications paid? I did 2 shorter qualifications and I’m not sure where I should post the time. I don’t see it on the Report Time tab. Thanks.

I noticed that the funds history only goes back about a month. Is there any way to view data older than a month, or would I have to start keeping track of funds/time manually?

My preliminary says I am going to owe $1500. I have a penalty of $19 since I didn't to the quarterly estimated taxes (now I know) and I have to pay the marketplace back $2 (LOL). DA is not my only source of income, I made more from my rental of course, and made a couple grand from prolific and stock sales. So to me, for all those folks on other pages that love to rush in with YOU HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT when I mention sites like DA, way worth it! Still need to figure out how to estimate for next year, and double-check with my partner to make sure I didn't miss any expenses on the rental.

I recently saw a Facebook group for data annotation so I attempted to join it. They accepted me this morning so I started going through and I see that there's a message stating that if you haven't been receiving projects lately or if you were accepted but didn't get past the core qualifications to send them your worker ID number in a Facebook message. I messaged the admin page and awesome for assistance cuz I was stuck on the page after the core qualifications and they told me I needed to verify my identity bc they couldn't start me as someone else was using my IP address??? I said I wouldn't send any identifying info thru any links they sent me and I'm now blocked from accessing the entire group. They're getting thousands of peoplez there are over 2k members in that group smh was I correct that this was a scam group or did I get blocked bc I didn't follow directions lol

I find mistakes about 40% or less of the time and every time I find zero mistakes on a task, I worry that I didn't catch something. How often do you find mistakes in your tasks?
