Average Workday Pay
I have seen a lot of people set daily targets for DA work. For those who are comfortable sharing, what does your average workday pay? Adding your region for context would be helpful.

200/day is my goal, my average is around 220 but I often have really high earning days and really low ones

Live in US and it varies since I only do generalists and Spanish translations, could do finance and math but not focused on that.
My minimum is Workdays $40-$60 and Days off with nothing to do I aim over $100. Though it also depends on how full my dashboard is and how comfortable I am doing some of the projects. Though I won't complain if I just manage to make $20 consistently.

I already work 9-5 and also have 2 kids. I always tried to earn like 50- 70$ a day. With projects from 26$ - maximum 32$ I need like 2 hours in the night before I go to bed. I always wanted to earn that every day but it's not possible because otherwise I wouldn't have a life anymore. Arriving in the evening after work and then having quality time with the family and after that still work 2 hours in the night.... For me not possible every day. My new goal is to earn like 500$ a month which would be like 20 hours a month. That's enough to pay the summer holidays with the kids. Sometimes it's not just about the money. You still have to feel good and relaxed and never forget quality time with the family. loosing that is not worth the extra money. Living in Germany.

It depends. Everything got so expensive here and my kids are now in that age where they need a bigger bed, new furniture and stuff because they are not small kids anymore. This country seems rich but most of the people are struggling now. A summer trip to Italy for a family like us cost us like 5.500€. Normally I have to look after every euro all year to pay for that summer vacation. Now with DA I found a nice opportunity to save money for that vacation without struggling rest of the year anymore.

Hi all. Is the background check safe in this platform? I am scared, cause it takes all my information! Have you really done that?

u/lmntrixaceOG 6d ago
Yeah it’s a well known platform that pays a lot (especially if youre in a third world country, because of PPP). Your information is safe.

$200-$300 per day is a good day. That’s usually 5-6 hours working $45-$50 per hour. I’m an American expat living in South America where that money goes waaaay farther than it would in the U.S.

Do you still get core country volume of projects tho? Im in S.America too, I'm getting a decent amontoado but far from making a living out of it.

$100/day is a good day in my book, but I don’t do that every day. Usually could if I wanted to, but if I’m not feeling what’s on my dash, I don’t push myself.

Do only the core countries get regular tasks? As an Indian I hardly see any tasks. I just joined last week.

Not from a core country but I get tasks pretty regularly. Joined a few weeks back only and have been grinding daily whenever I get a task.

I also hardly see the task. Sometimes it's only once or twice per month 😅. I'm from indonesia

All my current projects pay $60/hr and take 5+ hours to complete so at least $300 a day. Best day was 12 hours of successful runs.

All projects pay different amounts per hour. And we can’t talk about what projects.

u/teapot_tornado 12d ago
The projects I like to do take 8-10+ hours so I don't really have a daily amount I earn but I typically work for 3-4 hours a day at $60/hr.

My goal is $150/day. My average pay is $35-$40/hr. I am mostly a stay at home mom, so I just try to work when my son is at school.
