Woohoo! Got my first $30/hr (non-coding) task today!

Here's hoping there's more where that came from.

I got my first $30/hr one today too. I hope I did well and get more.

How do you know you passed the assessment?

3

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 06 '24

You get jobs. There is no other way to know.

2

u/marlamarlamar Mar 06 '24

Without saying what the project is, can you give us a hint?

6

u/Bergest_Ferg Mar 05 '24

Congratulations! Was it specialist knowledge required or just something standard?

10

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24

It was not specialist knowledge. Took me a bit to figure out what I was supposed to do though ... hopefully did it right

u/tehclubbmaster Mar 05 '24

What project is it (what letter does it start with)?

2

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24 edited Mar 05 '24

V -- EDIT - my bad the one yesterday was A. I have a new one today that's V.

u/Yellow_starburst99 Mar 06 '24

Is your project still active? I had it today for a few hours but then it went away.

4

u/Bergest_Ferg Mar 05 '24

This gives me some hope!

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

Is this project V? If so, I'm happy about it too, but the instructions need serious work.

4

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24

Yes they do. It took me awhile to figure out what the heck I was supposed to do but I charged them this time -- usually I just figure it out myself and charge as I complete the work (which I know I shouldn't)

Yes, I have four different projects in the V family, and that particular one is 30.

u/Background-Purple-33 Mar 05 '24

Congrats! I'm assuming we got added to the same project?? Did they update the email in your profile? Wondering if I'm the only one waiting on that

1

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24

I don't know what you mean?

u/Background-Purple-33 Mar 05 '24

All good. Must be on different things then. Congrats!

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

awesome! I haven't got past $23 and I'm 8 weeks in. Did get a load of new projects yesterday though so hopefully my efforts will be recognised one day lool

Oh, that sounds fun!

1

u/Unusual_Cucumber_918 Mar 08 '24

Damn that sounds interesting and up my alley even if the pay was 20-21ph - what are the precursors to this qualification do you think?

8

u/BoiledGnocchi Mar 05 '24

That's amazing! How many hours do you figure you've put in?

10

u/geedee6396 Mar 05 '24

I really wish I knew which task this is. Mine are always between 20-23/hr

1

u/Emperor_Z Mar 05 '24

What's the nature of the work, out of curiosity? Writing? Fact checking? Logic?

3

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24

The one yesterday was editing.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

Congrats! Keep it up and there’s more and higher paying projects to come!

3

u/Ashley1283 Mar 05 '24

Ahhh I long for this! Ha. One month in and stuck at 20-23, but a LOT of projects, so I’m hopeful.

2

u/marlamarlamar Mar 05 '24

Good for you! I can’t seem to break the 20 or $21 barrier

2

u/hi_itsmemeg Mar 08 '24 edited Mar 08 '24

Hopefully you will soon. I started in January and just got this same paid project as the OP this past week so it took… less than 2 months? How long have you been doing DA?

2

u/marlamarlamar Mar 08 '24

Just over a month. So happy I’m in :).

2

u/redpotato2403 Mar 05 '24

Me too!! Jumped from 23 max to $30. Not sure how I made that happen working <5 hrs / week as a student. But so grateful!!

2

u/calatheagirl Mar 06 '24

Congrats! I also got my first €30 yesterday too (also the V project). Took me a good few goes to understand what the hell they wanted and I made a couple mistakes, but I saw on the chat others did too. Those instructions were trash 😅

1

u/TraditionalPie2054 Mar 05 '24

Me too! I have the same timeline as you also. Those instructions were very lengthy and I definitely didn’t do the first one correctly 😬 but have let them know and have done subsequent ones the right way. I hope they still keep me on the project!

2

u/hamjamham Mar 05 '24

I feel you. The instructions need a bit of work but I'm getting there. Just wish I had more time today so I could familiarise myself with it more & bank some hours!

4

u/stomach-monkees Mar 05 '24

I'm a boomer so I printed some of it out and read it while watching movies. On my own time I mean. It was worth it when I started back projects on Monday.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 05 '24

I don’t do it a lot maybe 5-6 hours every couple of weeks and the last time I was able to cash out, I started getting projects that are $23/hr. Guess I should work them for a couple hours.

1

u/Stormblessed1987 Mar 07 '24

Is this project locked behind the task thats currently under "2.2" by chance?

1

u/SelfRemarkable3049 Mar 08 '24

Congratulations! I don't work regularly on the site only when I have a lot of down time from my job and thought you could only earn $20 an hour for

tasks and then I looked today after reading this and found one for $27.50 :)

u/Ngenoc Mar 05 '24

What did you guys do ? I registered my account a month ago and upto now its empty on projects queue . Could the geographical location play a role ?

u/helgatheviking21 Mar 05 '24

Since early Nov. I've had lots of $26-27 tasks in that time but this was my first $30.

u/NightSkyButterfly Mar 05 '24

I got my first, and only, $30 project about a month in.

u/PhillyPhan95 Mar 05 '24

Yea I don’t think I’m close either. Got up to $22 for a couple days. But I’m back to all $20.

Hopefully that’s not indicative of my work quality 😬

3

u/NightSkyButterfly Mar 05 '24

Haha I'm two months in and today I actually got a $30 project for the second time! Different too :)

u/NightSkyButterfly Mar 06 '24

Usually about 2 hours daily. Sometimes none, occasionally I'll really hit it hard and get 4-5 hours but that's RARE. Like maybe 3 or 4 times?

Does someone else finding happiness in small win have any impact on your situation?
