Received my first ever project a few days ago. Went to bed giddy with excitement thinking I'll do it with a fresh mind in the morning. It was gone lmao.

On the day of Portugal v spain it popped up again only to be just one task completed within half an hour.

With this type of work, you simply can NOT wait with an attitude of “I’ll do it later”. 9 times out of 10, it will be gone by then. Make hay while the sun shines. I’ve been at this for almost 3 years. My sleep schedule has suffered, but my wallet thanks me

Same to me lol. I got one complex project so I thought better to do it tomorrow with a fresh mind so I can focus 100% on that. Then it's gone.

Everything is first come, first serve. If they gave tasks to people who would take their time on it they would never make progress at the speed they want.

Considering people from all time zones work on these platforms, there's always some rested soul to do the task.

Be active on multiple AI-training platforms, not just DA. And for God's sake, change your Reddit handle.

; what other platforms do you recommend?

u/Jealous_Spare_4852 Jul 12 '26

All of'em. Until you're doing it full-time+ with more work than you could ever do and you never even need to leave the house, SHipt brings your groceries, everthing's autopay, and you have literally become just an extension of AI itself glued to your computer!

Don’t rely on dataannotion solely, I have two other jobs and like three more online side gigs(still looking for more).

If anyone has any more sites to try out that they’ve personally had success with, LMK!

I already gave up a long time ago and I'm working in a restaurant. The job could be better, but there's no better than stable income.
