snake and bake posted:Online Freelance Task / Gig / 1099 Work I have always been very deeply suspicious of these types of websites; do they actually work? they're about as transparent as the bottom of the ocean, and I can't find a single thing on any of these sites dictating allotment of payment and fees

alrighty, thanks for the answers! I guess I'll get my feet wet with it tomorrow and see what it's like to be honest with you, I've never really done any kind of work like this before, so I'm just a touch worried I'm not qualified for any of this, but when you're desperate...

snake and bake posted:You'll want to run an extension to help. I use MTurk Suite to help me search/scan for good tasks (called HITs, which I think means human intelligence task) and see red flags on bad HITs. I cherry pick based on the pay ($.10/min is my usual minimum) and the ratings of that HIT/requester, if there are any yet how in the gently caress do you install this? I'm using Firefox edit: forget it, went to use the older version instead, not loving around with building JARs or whatever Victory Position has issued a correction as of 08:59 on Dec 2, 2020 |

Paradoxish posted:This isn't actually freelance work. If you're in the US, LB will hire you as a W-2 employee. I did this for a long time, even though I was making pretty good money at the time with my "real" job. It's typically a reliable $1000-1200/month. It's about as miserable as it sounds, but if you get reasonably good at it then you can pretty easily do the work while watching movies, playing games, listening to podcasts, or whatever. Since my regular work is/was remote, I used to do LB stuff while also doing other work. I think I'm still technically employed by them and I'd probably keep doing it if I had time, because it's an easy $12k/year. well, applied for this too since that's more than what I made last year

I'll take barely over none, since the options are nil and not a drat thing right now

PawParole posted:Which website is the best for jobs? I’ve been looking for a job for a while now, and I’m starting to assume that most job search websites aren’t incentivized to actually be good at getting people employed. I've had a lot of luck on Indeed in the past and they do have to pay to list on there, so there is a bit of incentive for them to hire soup to nuts that your state also has a jobs listing portal via its department of labor (or employment services) and that can be a place to check, though it can be completely crowded out by FAANG or other Fortune 500s since it's free to post to those boards

Larry Parrish posted:this thread is the troll my dude. anybody who needs the money to pay rent isnt going to make enough from this online bullshit, and even mentioning it as an option strikes me as predatory but whatever. it's like the online equivalent of telling people to go pick strawberries under the table. this is how I felt reading it at first, and coming up, I'm sure to tell whether or not this is even worth the time and the effort to the OP: are you out of work? waiting on more hours to come up? or is this something you just do on the side.
