Hi Hamdi. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. Appen did acquire/buy Figure Eight, which was back then in 2019 best-in-class machine learning software platform. This means that Appen became even stronger -;)What it does is it helps to make the training more comprehensive, with data annotation for instance. You can read more info about the Figure Eight move here.
In case, you want to earn money using Appen, you can do that by typing appen.com and then creating an account when clicking on join the crowd. You need an email address and that’s it. After your account will be approved (takes maybe 1-2 business days maximum), you will get access to the job database. Depending on your location you will see different job opportunities. Regardless of your location, there are plenty of options. For instance, SEO evaluator, ads evaluator, and transcriber. You will also get some tasks in machine learning. I was doing half year project as an online mystery shopper (I am afraid this project stopped already) and was able to earn up to $500 monthly with 8 hours of work per month. So, even though the tasks are not that difficult in general, and you can earn some nice side income, be aware that the projects are irregular. Therefore, you can’t really rely on this income alone. I hoep this helped you get an idea. If you still have questions, please let me know. Cheers

You welcome Alex. Anytime ready to help you out…

Ji Julius, Very interested in this. Thanks for sharing looks like it might be worth trying out.

Hey there, Alex. So excited about that you know about the Appen.com as well. Indeed, the search engine evaluator is time consuming and it it in my eyes too technical. That’s why I didn’t continue with it. What is bringing the most, in relation time/financial reward is the MYSTERY SHOPPER project called AMUR. If you live in one of the countries they are currently searching for the shoppers, you can earn up to $500 for 10 hours a month.

I think it sounds good if you have that kind of time to commit but if it is a side hustle and you are already doing something else such as blogging I do think this can be a bit much. However, I am curious about the other tasks you have mentioned such as a mystery shopper, TRANSCRIBER/ANNOTATOR, DATA COLLECTOR(VIDEO), LINGUIST. Are these less time consuming than the search engine evaluator role? I mean I have an Appen account but have not started using it to find work yet.

Ideally, what I am looking for is ideas for work that can help bloggers with new websites to tide them over till they start earning from their blog posts.

Hi Alex. This website is definitely going to bring you higher pay check like any online survey site. The actual amount depends highly on the task you are going to do. For instance transcribers are paid for transcribing hour. That can be less profitable if you are beginner. But such an online mystery shopper, without experience you can come to some $300-500 for 10 hours a week work. I hope that brought you a bit an idea. You can also register and check them over here.

Hi Matt. That’s great to hear that it worked out for you. Yes, the available jobs highly depend on the location. Sometimes you are lucky , sometimes less. Mystery Shopper online can be nice way to earn extra money. Here you can see what it leveraged to me. Cheers.

I was lucky to join Appen in 2019 as a part-time social media evaluator. It was fun but time-consuming. I remembered I was doing it after my full-time job, and the paid is not bad. Unfortunately, after two months, they terminated my part-time employment due to the lack of demands in my region. I still had fun doing this.

Due to the pandemic, I logged into my Appen account to see what they are offering in 2021. And, they did have many opportunities in my country. I guess I am lucky to have opportunities to work part-time with Appen. I just saw that they provide the vacancy of Mystery Shopper, so this is my next try.

Thanks for sharing today. I love Appen.
Matt
