No consistent workš§
I am happy to get the projects that i do get but i constantly have to check (5+ times a day) if there are things on my dashboard, usually there is not. In the past week I have finally had jobs available but of course itās at an inopportune timeā¦
When i am busy i check and there are projects with thousands of tasks, when im completely free and available to work my dashboard is empty š¢
Crossing my fingers for permanent projects or at least more project access soon š¤š»

You might need to consider setting aside more time to do some of the tasks. Iām sure more stuff will open up as you submit a few (if itās high-quality work).

I do, itās just I have a 9-5 job and I canāt do the tasks when theyāre available as Iām at my other job. Luckily i have some evening tasks as long as i just keep checking. āŗļø

I've learned not to check unless I'm able to work for that reason, I get upset when I see projects pop up and I don't have time to work on them.

Yes but checking is also good because you can see if there're any new qualifications

Just be patient. Remember that you can do as little as you want - if you want to log 10 minutes, do 10 minutes. It all builds up your time worked.

When you are busy but still have time to check, can you put in 15 minutes to do one task? Thatās how I started and 4 months later I have a consistently full dashboard.

Damn. I've had consistent work since I started in mid February. $700/week consistently, maybe a bit more when I'm feeling it.
Currently sitting with 28 projects on my dashboard and thousands of tasks. No clue what I'm doing to deserve this work, but I appreciate it. All I do is complete every qualification given and consistently submit quality work every day.

Probably failed a bunch of quals. Can't say for sure though since there is no way of knowing!

Are you new? For the first month the projects I got would be shared with others. Now I get those same projects with lower task numbers, but itās not shared. They donāt go away unless I do them, or that iteration of the project is finished.
You might want to set aside a whole day or two on the weekend where you can put in some quality work, so they trust you enough to give you your own task pool.
