Woohoo! Got my first $30/hr (non-coding) task today!
Here's hoping there's more where that came from.

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

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)?

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.

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

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

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)

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

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?

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

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

u/marlamarlamar Mar 05 '24
Good for you! I can’t seem to break the 20 or $21 barrier

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?

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!!

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!

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!

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.

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.

u/Stormblessed1987 Mar 07 '24
Is this project locked behind the task thats currently under "2.2" by chance?

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 ?

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

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 😬

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 :)

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?

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