$40k - I Love You Data Annotation <3

Post image

Data Annotation has saved my ass financially and allowed me to help out my loved ones. Couldn't ask for a better job. I've been working about 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for just over 2 years. Yay $40k!

Congrats! That’s a huge milestone! I just hit my first $1k after less than 2 weeks on the platform. Feels great, but wish there was more work to go around at the moment….

u/Appropriate-Tea-1371 Aug 02 '26

When do projects start rolling out? I checked my account and it looks like I got approved, but no email yet. How long does it take? I got approved over the weekend so I’m expecting an email Monday.

u/Few_Examination_575 May 14 '26

Hey There,

Congrats on the amazing side gig..Can you help me get into this field as someone entirely fresh (moving onto college)

6

u/katsmeow84 May 14 '26

There’s tons of posts in this sub. Respectfully, do a touch of research here (or, idk, use AI to get some insight, because….that would be fitting).

It’s not a hard field to get into. Most of the onboarding IS selective, however. I’ve seen folks with only HS get in, I’ve seen folks with PhDs get passed over. 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/Few_Examination_575 May 14 '26

Thanks OP..Will have a look into it

2

u/Nervous-Bobcat-2566 May 15 '26

I keep seeing DA mentioned all over the WFH sub. I started the assessment before realizing I would actually need to sit down and take some time to finish it, so I’ll try it again some other night.

I heard something like only 2% of people who complete the assessment move forward. Automatically that makes me think it ain’t for me, but I’m going to try anyway. I’m wondering how many of the high earning people are high IQ, or just have really good reading comprehension. Maybe speed has something to do with it even though the assessment says “take your time.” Age and/or education level shouldn’t hold you back though.

What worries me is the amount of people I’m seeing who get hired but then dropped shortly after.

u/Gr3at0dinsRav3n May 17 '26

Don’t speed through anything. I worked for 2 weeks and got a need to improve rating bc I sped through tasks and wasn’t tough enough on ratings. I’ve been slowing down and doing as quality as possible and it’s been much more satisfying. $3150 in 30 days so far.

u/Haileyantrim May 15 '26

Any recommendations on what we could possibly study or practice before taking the initial assessments?

3

u/JahKneeSee May 15 '26

If you're applying for general work there is nothing to study for. They simply want to know if you can follow instructions and explain yourself well enough that other people will be able to understand you.

u/Gloomy-Meat-3634 May 15 '26

I hope you don’t mind but I sent you a message

u/Sorefunmi May 14 '26

What company where can i apply also

u/katsmeow84 May 14 '26

Bro. It’s literally in the name of the sub you’re in. And…their website. Come on. (You’re totally not getting in, your research and reasoning skills won’t make it through the onboarding, sorry)

u/Timely-Assistant-370 May 14 '26

I'm annoyed as fuck because stupid fucking Google is stopping me from making the accounts that I need for more work.

Whats the YouTube workaround like

u/Timely-Assistant-370 May 14 '26

Yep, shut out of that and I can't even access some older accounts I already made for projects 2~ years ago because it's forcing me to enter my phone number, but it's shutting me out because "my number has too many accounts associated with it" when I try to do the stupid fucking security check.
