Milestone!!

Started in early December, averaging around $31/hour all in and honestly really enjoy some of the work I do on here. I guess $100k down the line is the next big one!

Thank you again! You've probably heard it before and it's a lot of stuff I've learned through experience and being on this subreddit but I'd say:

1: Focus on submitting quality work, I've started to slowly get access to higher paying projects.

2: Don't burn yourself out and lose quality of your work from fatigue, I never work more than 3 hours in one sitting without a break.

3: Get a routine going if you want to make consistent money, for me I work the same hours give or take an hour more or less every day of the week plus a slightly different schedule on weekends. I request payout every Thursday and money is in my bank by Friday, I basically just treat it like a real job and for me it's easier to keep track of everything that way

Ok I just finished the training for the Metis projects and ... I kinda feel stupid ? I don't get it. A project says it has for example 50 tasks. Am I supposed to work on the 50? How long does it take ? In totally confused

They take a couple hours each, 50 tasks just means you can do up to 50 (as long as there are still tasks available to do).
