from an older thread, not my image.

>>1964960
This guy was just doing this on saturdays it looks like. Thats a helluva check for 1 day, I wonder how many real hours that took

I remember the old thread. Guy said it took 40+ hours for that. Plus all reviews of rev online ended in it being a shit site where the most you can make is 4 dollars an hour.

this mods job looks kinda cool. anybody who has done this?

>>1964991
Have a female friend who has been doing it for 3 years now and has lived off it. Has her own place and all.

>>1964994

Whats the deal with the mod job? They are pretty vague

>>1964997
You're literally a contracted paid moderator for online forums and a few other places.

>>1965001

So whats the pay like?

>>1965005
It's good but the only downside is you're paid once a month.

>>1964960
>>1964968

I'm the Rev shill from the old thread. I can't say my work has been consistent. I recently moved so my time was spent doing that, but as I said before you can clear at least $300ish a week if you work around eight hours a day, five days a week. A solid, straight eight hours with a lunch and everything. What I didn't mention in the thread is it's basically freelance work. It's a giant board where they have (usually) hundreds of videos ready to be captioned. It's usually slower on the weekends because that's when people are most active. A lot of people only do this on the weekend for beer money.

I don't have any sort of deep affiliation for the company. It's just a job, but I like it because I've got crippling anxiety. This job is great for that and out of all the shitty transcript jobs, this is by far the easiest and the most lenient once you start being consistent.

>>1965019
Thanks for providing more info on Rev.

Do you have to download any special software?

>>1965019

I just read a huge reddit thread about people getting fired and making 4 bucks an hour.

>>1965041
Nope all comes in house, it's called Dash. If I can say one thing about Rev is that thing is the only reason stuck with this job. Easy to use and makes fucking up a bit harder to do.

I expect to make about $20,000 my first year in business.

I am trying to estimate my quarterly taxes....on form f1040es, they ask what my wages will be....I will take home whatever is left over, so I put $20,000 right, or do I estimate my expenses here?

>>1965049
Read the same thread, I was nervous too. The thing was that it was from almost a year ago. The thing I got from it was that either they weren't being efficient or just sucked at it. If I have time I might just try uploading a video of me doing a job and show how fast a good worker can zip through it. Can't really promise it though, still kinda busy.

>>1965069

On average, what do you estimate your hourly wage is?

>>1965019
$8 ph?

I guess that's better than fapping all day.

>>1965071
Short answer: 8-9 an hour.
Long answer: It depends on the video and how efficiently I work. Like what I'm doing now I'm jumping between videos to come here, but only because I'm up more than usual for my quota I set for myself ($60 a day). Truthfully it's probably closer to 8 but there's videos that some people don't like to claim (ones with heavy accents, huge background noise) that end up upping the video price. The videos are adjusted for price according to some formula which calculates the length of the video and how much time it's been up for grabs. Some videos have it to where you're paid .87 cents for every minute and others .54, there's a lot of luck that goes into this job as well. But on average I'd say it's closer to a low 8 range not accounting for lucky breaks. Pretty decent for working at home.

>>1965091
Sorry to keep bugging you. I work 12-10 at my job now. If I worked about 4 hours a day efficiently, what would you estimate my weekly pay would look like? 100 bucks a week?

May as well post it, since I've been here I kinda lost my flow. One of the things on one tells you about working for home is it's pretty fucking easy to just get lazy. Once you lose your groove, it takes forever to wanna start again, it's getting close to the end of my work shift, but I had a good flow going before I decided to take a break. Any of you assholes lucky enough to get in and keep going just remember that. That's part of the reason why you saw those early weeks being in the $100 range. Don't forget it's still a job, only you get to control the hours. Not trying to be anybody's dad, but don't lose out on money because you're being a lazy cunt like me.

Ex-neet here who works from home who has had some success. Pic related is just one of the products I sell. Also, please don't ask me stupid shit like hurr where is your ferrari.

>>1965123
Nice going senpai, just two questions if you don't mind.
How long have you been running your shop?
Does it have a broad inventory, or just a few item?

>>1965113
yeah, welcome to my life man. i feel like such a fucktard sometimes for losing the zest on what many would consider to be a once in a lifetime opportunity but that is just how it works. you become complacent and lose motivation. i see some of my industry peers zooming by me and it sucks. I've lost probably around $350,000 in revenue alone since 2016 all because I am too lazy to put together a weekly newsletter. It makes me depressed

>>1965123
Son Imma need a guide on that right there. What are you selling?

>>1965123
what do you sell, exactly?
do you drop ship?

>>1965104
To tell you the truth, it might be roughly half of that. Once you get in you're treated to making roughly 25% less than what a traditional Revver (Their gay term for captioners) makes. After you get grades above 4.4 (They grade you on accuracy of the words, formatting of the captions/grammar, and alignment of the captions to the audio) you get to move up to a Revver, but you're still left with basically the scraps until you get to Revver+, which gives you first pick of everything, but you need over 1,200 minutes captioned and grades in the 4.7 range. So starting off as a side job you're not gonna making much until you start putting some real hours into it. This is the reason most people ended up quiting or calling it a scam because they weren't making money right away.

If you might want to spend more than four hours, but if you're only working four hours a day and you're just starting out you might get around 50ish until you start learning the ropes. There's still a learning curve. Sorry if I seem like I'm all over the place, doing a video as I write this. Gonna be a while before you start seeing anything in the 100 range though, sorry to say.

>>1965133

No youve been more than helpful. Thank you anon

>>1965126
I started at the end of 2014 and have been doing it since

Well, I sell multiple products but I setup a landing page for each product so they are never together. That screenshot is just from one of the landing pages for one product.

I used Shopify for a very long time but am slowly beginning to transition to ClickFunnels since it's a much better asset for internet marketers

>>1965131
>>1965130

The challenge in being a successful internet marketer is finding the right formula of product, product niche, demographic, marketing angle, etc.... so no one is going to hand that over to you on a silver platter but to be vague about it, I sell golf equipment

I began dropshipping. I would sit on eBay for hours 1 by 1 buying from Chinese sellers and fulfilling the orders I received. I eventually bought a warehouse where I import and distribute everything myself but am considering switching to a fulfillment service so I don't have to deal with the product anymore

>>1965128
Seems like you're doing pretty good for yourself, couldn't you put on a few of your friends with you, work from a studio. Are you working straight from home by yourself?

>>1965148

So you literally started selling enough golf equipment to own a warehouse.
I wanted to do something similar with aliexpress and sports memoribilia but the 4 to 5 week ship times are making me nervous.
How much did you start with

>>1965140
Thanks for the answers, just one more question from me: Is the interface on Clickfunnels easy to use like the one on Shopify?
I feel like Shopify has everything I would need.

>>1965153
Ignore that, kinda answered my question with your last post.

>>1965153
I have a warehouse with 3 other employees. One of them takes on similar executive rolls as I do. The other two do customer support/fulfillment

>>1965154
Yes, I literally had $5,000 to my name at the time. A lot of the Chinese eBay sellers have USA stock so those were the listings I would go for. I didn't ship them from China, that would take too long.

>>1965160

Is your golf equipment decent? Like not knockoff shit that breaks but good stuff?

>>1965156
Shopify is a good place to start for the landing page type of internet marketer. They have one theme called Kickstand or Kickstarter that is designed for E-Books that can be manipulated into a very good landing page for a single product. Shopify is probably the best all in one e-store/e-commerce platform to use as well if you're trying to operate a legitimate webstore with multiple products

But if you're serious about taking your internet marketing to the next level, clickfunnels is where its at. It's basically a sandbox that lets you create and manage every last detail in your funnel. This isn't something that can be done in Shopify. A good example is many people consider the Shopify checkout cart to be pretty shitty and it can harm conversion rates. There is nothing you can do about this. In ClickFunnels, you can create your own check out form.

You will know when you are ready for it

>>1965175
Appreciate the advice, I'm still looking for a niche, but I'll make a note of what you said.

>>1965170
nah it's junk man. this entire industry is predicated on selling products that are good enough to not go through the effort of returning but not so good that a significant margin for profit doesn't exist

and if you do by chance come across a freak product that actually is great and has great margins, some competitor will come along a day later and copy your offer and both of you will drive it into the ground as you go toe to toe competing for profits

One of the most interesting things I have seen was with this company called Plazmatic. They sell electric lighters. These are nothing special...they are literally tasers that some Chinese factory realized they could be miniaturized and used as a lighter. So this US company took a concept that they did not even invent (it was invented by some random Chinese factories) and patented it themselves in the USA so other Americans cant come into the market and fuck their shit up. The whole thing is amazing.

>>1965185
>>1965170
>>1965157

A good example that I think will help you guys is this website below.

https://assassinlasers.com/

These guys are just re-selling shit from eBay that costs $10

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Military-532nm-5mw-303-Green-Laser-Pointer-Lazer-Pen-Burning-Beam-18650-Charger-/111889024828

The hardest thing about this for most people (probably our age in particular) is understanding that there is an entire generation of people out there that do not understand the intricacies and nuances of the internet. Most of us would look at this page and close out 2 seconds later because it looks like a scam and we'd be smart enough to do some research and we'd find out that it's on eBay and Amazon for $10. But there are millions of people out there that don't understand this (same demographic that TV infomercials are ran to) and they buy this shit.

>>1965199
I never really considered targeting that age group.
I notice a lot of people that age go by the facebook marketplace, even my own Mum (surprising since she hates buying off the internet). What would you say about selling on there?

Not letting this die

>>1965199

Godsend lad.

Pretty inspirational, I'll try to do a similar thing.

Are you familiar with Hawkers? Its a spanish brand that sells shit chinese sunglasses for cheap.

I dream of doing something similar to you here in Spain

>>1965263
A lot of that type of tech crap is resold. LEDs for cars, that sort of thing. I found an LED website I liked online because of the low shipping, but realized the prices are way less buying from banggood and even ebay for basically the same thing.

I had paid about $15 for rigid LED strips that you can buy directly from Chinese places 2 for $10, that sort of thing. I just never looked into it because it was a low enough price to where I didn't care.

Unless you are buying Philips, Cree, Samsung, it is all just sketchy Chicom stuff that lasts as long as it lasts.

I can do a weekly newsletter for you, if it makes such a difference in sales.

Also, what is your profit margin roughly?

Are there anymore dropshipping guides?

I'm not totally sure on this, but how can you drop ship, if the costumer sees that it came from some other merchant in China (once it arrives and they see the address).

Seconding this.

learn modeling/drafting in Autocad/Autodesk Inventor and then sell your labour on Fiverr or Telecommute to an architect/contractor/machinist/engineer

Trying to be realistic,

my mom works from home doing group health insurance sales after years in the industry(20+ years) She basically takes care of the dog 4hrs a day and works maybe 3 tops. makes 120K/yr. Has to go into the office mayve a week every 2 months. I want to earn this life.

>>1965727
What did you do to find work initially?

>>1965521
Yeah but what I'm trying to say here is if the other merchant promotes his own business with like their own logo and website in the package, wouldn't the buyer immediately know you charged him more than what you sent it for. Thus you would lose all your customers to that cheap Chinese/American bastard??

has anyone here looked into outsourcing or automating your job?

I'd asked this in a previous thread, and someone mentioned they'd automated most of their data entry job.

Personally I'm curious about call centers in particular. It seems like there's a way to make a $2-3/hour after tax spread by getting hired at an american call center, and routing your phone line overseas. I don't know the details, all i know is rumored estimates from other forums, but i'm excited to start working on this come June. Anyone have experience with these jobs or general thoughts?

>>1965981
I'm curious about this too, often products I buy from aliexpress come with a business card from the manufacturer. How can you be sure when you're drop shipping that they don't include them when shipping the product to your buyers; as this would essentially steal your customers when they see the real price of the product straight from the source.

>>1964960
How do you end up working for these guys?

>>1965056
The only grammar question I'm kind of debating about so far is this:

1. Even though Kenny was a great roommate, John hated ________ in the shower.

Is it "him singing" or "his singing"? I'm half asleep from a long shit. I'm thinking "his singing".

>>1966640
https://www.rev.com/freelancers

>>1966649
Thanks, doing it now.

Only one question I'm kind of stuck on picking an answer for. It's one or the other. Going to just wing it.

Indeed has jobs that are like marketing, work from home. They also have an app. Check it out.

>>1966646
Him singing you goof.

>>1966731
his. John hates the singing, not Kenny.

>>1966731
>>1966738
I can't remember which one I picked. I think it was "his".

Oh well. That's the only question I wondered a bout.

Hopefully one wrong answer won't fuck up everything. The rest of the tests and caption work was not hard.

>>1965791
>how can I work 24/7
what the fuck is the point?

>>1965981

I guess not because the customer could get the impression that the products are manufactured FOR the business and imported.

Like its made in one of those manufacturing plants that only supply businesses

>>1966628

He said he operates in a warehouse. He probably opens all the boxes

>>1965981
>>1966628

Basically, there are two approaches to internet marketing/e-commerce.

The first approach is trying to build a legitimate business and an actual brand. I would not recommend this. It's hard to do and it sucks up a lot of your cash and becomes a long term investment of sorts. If you try to dropship orders for something like this, then yeah it isn't going to work out very well.

The second approach is a dirty in-and-out type of deal where your various products come and go in trends and then usually disappear at the end of a lifecycle. There is no connection between this product and some parent brand or company. Your goal isn't to please every customer or maintain some kind of relationship with them. 99% of the time a person will buy it and then never buy from you again. That might be because they didn't like the product or some other reason but it doesn't matter because there are millions of people in this world and you can just acquire new customers pretty much forever.

I don't know if you guys are familiar with Shadowhawk, but this is yet another great example of some dude who found some shitty flashlights on Alibaba, drafted a massive marketing plan for it, milked every last penny out of the market, and then just disappeared. He probably pissed a lot of people off but it doesn't matter because he made a ton of money and he did it completely legally

http://shadowhawkflashlights.com/

I've tried 2 different niches, set up a Shopify store for both and ran FB ads. Used Instagram, Pinterest etc.

The first niche was shit so it failed. The second one isn't shit but it's not an impulse buying product. The website looks extremely professional. No orders. I'm just wasting money.

What do? I don't want to keep wasting money trying out niches. I'm trying eBay dropshipping now with random items but they rarely get more than 8 views so of course no sales.

ANY help appreciated, pls men

>>1967081
Just copy that assassinlasers website I linked earlier man. Throw up an ad on Facebook targeting conservatives 34-64 (male) and optimize for conversions. you'll get sales

>>1967100
Won't Facebook ban that shit? I tried advertising a bullet shaped bottle (kek) and my ad got stopped for inappropriate content.

>>1967111
No, laser pointers are fine. They are indeed strict on weapons or weapon related items but you wont have a problem with laser pointers.

>>1967141
Hmm, that does actually look good but I figure the market is over saturated now. I could just copy absolutely everything he's done but there are hundreds who have done the same.

>>1967039
Isn't it easier to bring back previous customers than having to sell to brand new ones every time? Meanwhile the Chinese merchant you drop-shipping from gets all the customers you sell to cause he might've left his website inside the package. I really want this drop shipping thing to work but at this point I feel like it's safer to order stock before sales, and ship it out yourself.

Would the solution to this be to only choose merchants that don't advertise in their products? Alibaba and ali express I believe are popular choices to find these products, any other sources?

What does your average day look like?
How did you get started in this job?
What goes into your report, and how many pages would it contain?

>>1965747
From tutorials and documentation on the internet, primarily. I started with game development as a teenager, then got into web development later on.

Start with HTML and CSS tutorials, then branch out into JavaScript. Once you're comfortable with those, download WAMP and start learning about servers, databases, SQL, and PHP. Build a lot of practice sites for hobbies you have or for friends/family. Practice is huge.

>>1965940
I lucked into getting a few small jobs through family friends. It really started picking up when I began going to a coworking space near where I live (check out The Urban Hive, Hacker Lab, and Maker HQ for examples - I don't know the names of any makerspaces outside of Sacramento, though). If you're comfortable with WordPress development (writing themes from scratch), there's a steady stream of work from people who frequent those places.

>>1967809
Thanks for answering.

I'm always trying to use technologies that I think are "best", such as vue.js, or the "best" backend framework. But maybe the effort to result ratio with these technologies is just not worth it for someone working alone. Maybe I should suck it up and learn WordPress. Never done a real freelance job yet.

>>1967889
For working a steady, well-paying job with a larger company, you'd definitely want to focus on newer technologies like Node, Angular, and React. For freelancing, WordPress is one of the best, since you can pass off the site to the client and they can tweak the content without having to email you every day to change a word.

The good thing is that you can pick up WordPress in a week if you already know HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of PHP, then coast on that while learning more on your own so that you can still fall back to a reliable job if freelancing doesn't work out.

while working from home sounds like a good and fun idea, the real dream is working very few hours from highly auto-matable jobs or being lucky/hardworking enough to have a large stash of assets making you a "free" salary.

>>1965069
You think you'd be able to upload that video?

>>1965019
I've also done work for Rev and can second this. Some of the videos you caption are pretty rough with pajeet accents and shitty audio recordings. Sometimes the work thins out, so if there are decent postings available, claim away.

>>1965091
Best vid I ever got was some kung fu movie where the dialogue was minimal. Finished the sucker in about 5 hours for about $90. Once you get a feel for what projects will be easy, you can up your hourly rate provided they have those jobs available.

>>1964903
>Selling crack where you actually live.

Noob. Go on the corner like everyone else.

>>1965019
How does Rev take mistakes you made?

>>1968097
Luckiest I got was some African movie where it was already subtitled, only put atmospherics (sound affects). It was about 70 bucks for only an hour and half of work. You can get real lucky with this job, but sometimes you do have a video where you gotta slog through it.

>>1968116
From my experience, they're really anal about that stuff starting out. They grade every project you do until you get out of their rookie tier. All I can say is just make sure you double and triple check your work. But again it varies. I hear some people get fired for constantly making mistakes, while others ended up getting brushed off. Don't risk if if you wanna this as a permanent side job.

>>1968116
Not the OP but I have worked for Rev in the past. You're gonna make mistakes, especially on difficult to hear audio files, but as long as it's nothing major (or the editors don't catch it), you're gonna be fine. On some of the really thick accent videos I straight up guess the word(s) that are not transcribable and I've still maintained the highest ranking there.

>>1965019
>$300 a week

Damn that's pretty good. I have very fast typing speed and perfect grammar. I need just around $300 a week while I work on my business at the side as I just lost my job.

I also have crippling anxiety. Thanks for posting this bro.

>>1968212
Also is captioning or transcription better?

Nice thread keep it rolling

>>1968262
transcription is absolute dog shit. If you saw some of the images of the paystubs I showed you saw me very rarely using it. They're okay to do if you have no caption jobs but goddamn. It's probably okay if I take the time to push through like I did with captioning, but in the long run captioning is the way to go. Good luck and hoping you get in. Happy to know at least I could benefit a couple people from letting you guys know. Also glad to see someone else who uses Rev to verify that they're not bad.

>>1965019
That's an hourly wage of $7.50 before taxes

>>1968608
They withold taxes.

>>1968608
>>1968621

Also meant to say that sometimes it varies on the videos you get. One of the other things that suck is that you're gonna be climbing hand over first for videos. Once you're out of the rookie section you're then in the section where you basically get the videos that are either too difficult or with the worst foreign accents. On the flip side most of the people working here are just housewives, so they often leave the tech tutorial videos because they don't know the terminology (SQL servers, command lines, etc).

To anyone who gets in keep an eye out for Josh Olenslager videos. They're usually 1 to 5 minute long videos, speakers are almost always clear talkers and they're not sought after because most people don't wanna put the time in for the lingo. It's a good way to pad your stats and get you closer to 1,200 minutes captioned.

>>1966738
Its actually him singing.
The reason is because it says "hated him singing in the shower."
It would be his if it was just "hated his singing."
Change the sentence to test the theory.
John hated his eating in the shower.
John hated him eating in the shower.
You are thinking of singing as a noun instead of a verb. Singing can be both a noun or a verb.

Bumping just incase.

>>1968603
I failed the transcription test anyway, which is weird since I'm certain I did very well.

Passed the first captioning one.

>>1965148
How do you go about figuring out a marketing plan? I can make my websites look beautiful and the product seem legit and everything, but I suck at marketing. I just waste money on ads and make no sales.

is working from home really that appealing if youre stuck doing shitty jobs that should normally be offloaded to indians via mechanical turk?

>>1970193
After working in a shit office job with a fuckhead boss and terrible commute and transport cost, yes.

If I can work from home, I can also live anywhere, which means I can live in a cheap city so my wages don't feel pajeet-tier.

God fucking damn it is there any thread about work that doesnt turn into dropshipping (same category as crypto) faggotry? Please make a separate drop shipping thread, it has nothing to do with the OP.

Here is my dilemma: I need 350 dollars by the end of the month. That leaves me with 12 days. What can I do somewhere that will pay either daily or weekly? I am a decent writer so I am trying to go that route, but I am open to anything.

I've applied to textbroker and am waiting for a response, applied to clickworker but ot seems they wont pay for about 3 weeks. I am going to list all the books and things I own and try to scrape something there.

Does anyone know of any places that may help? I have also looked into vipkid for teaching but it seems that I need a high quality webcam and some materials, which I cant afford right now. Any real help will be truly appreciated.

Rev pays weekly, every Monday at around 9 AM EST. Not sure if you'll be able to apply and get accepted in time to make your money though, may not even be able to make 350 if you do, could get close though.

>>1970221
those are advantages of working for yourself + working location independently. working for online people-farms seems like the wrong approach as its the kind of thing you do to make extra money not live off it entirely.

>>1970491

The only viable things to do are find salaried software developer jobs where you are NOT a freelancer or flip somethin for a profit

>>1972760
Web dev jobs are really easy to find, and it only takes a few months to learn enough to get a job. However web dev can be really fucking boring. Don't work for a startup unless you want to become suicidal.

>>1973556
It's hard to get remote work as a web dev. They only accept senior positions for work from home

I got kicked after second stage of caption test. I think I fucked up too much on the first video, on the second I cheated and got the answers from the net so there shouldn't be a problem.
Fuck this. Would it be possible to retake the test under a different email or something?

>>1974114
Yes, if you use gmail just use a +email.

I want to learn a skill I can use to freelance but I have no fucking idea which one to focus on. When I look at freelance sites too there is always these goobers with professional looking pictures and corny profiles written up and I just don't know how to present myself like that, being a neet basement creep and all. As far as what I already know, I used to enjoy writing but it has been a long time, I know what seo is, and I made a shitty website one time that isn't up anymore.

>>1972594
Took me about three days, and this was in late January, not sure if that's relevant.

>>1968050
I'll see if I can make one today and have it uploaded by tonight. I'll try to anyway.

Okay, made a video. Quick and easy, lot of fat fingering because apparently I can't work well being watched, but this is how fast it can go if you've got a moderate typing speed.

The pic is the grade I got on the same project, even though there's still a few minor slip ups. To what I was saying before, most of the times videos like Josh's are listed as .54 per minute. Most of the time videos are at .60 and higher, so what your hourly wage is gonna be is dependent on what videos you decide to get.

The thing I did at the end is easy for videos like this, and as you can I see I spent like the least amount of time there.

>>1975157
Motherfucker.

Different guy, but I should've waited to see how you do things before applying and getting rejected today.

FUCK

>>1970414
>applied to clickworker
godspeed anon. it's a rough place over there.

>>1970414
Sell shit on local classifieds.

The best type of work is the work you can do from anywhere as long as you got an internet connection.

Imagine travelling around the world all year long not worrying about shit.

>>1975157
Looks good. So about 4 min to transcription a vid, assuming they pay .40 a min starting out, I'd make 10 cents/min; $6 an hr; $48 a day if I work 8 hrs; and $240 a week if I work mon to fri? Are there any ways to cheat the system so to say; like would I be able to use software to automatically transcript the videos and then copy/paste to Dash?

>>1975440
There might be, but there's so little talk about Rev out on the internet that I don't know. You can import .srt files. But if you're going for a raw copy and paste (Like if you find a raw transcript) you can do that and it adds the breaks in automatically for you. Sometimes you can find them on the odd occasion a TV pops up. So far I've seen lots of old TV shows like Beverley Hillbillies and My Favorite Martian, which I managed to copy and paste entire scripts for.

>>1965060
it doesn't really matter, my 1st year I didn't pay any estimated taxes. After I filed my return I owed like 4k in taxes. Now I pay quarterly estimated based off last years earnings. If you are shooting in the dark you should get a nice return if you over pay.

Working from home is my choice right now, as I live in a shitty town, located in a shitty country. Better career prospects await me on the big cities, but the crime rates and the costs of living are so high I'm better off staying here, in my undeveloped small town.

I am making an average of U$D600-700 by working one hour per day. Every other job in my city would offer me half this amount while demanding me to work a 9-5. Needless to say, I am now hooked in the work-from-home universe.

My problem is, I don't know how to increase my income.

Freelance writing seems promising, but I am not confident in my skills to captivate readers and generate traffic. Starting a blog seems to be the most common way to insert yourself in this market, but I have no idea what to blog about.

Freelance translating sounds great, and I do have some experience in this trade. But the demand looks rather translation gigs in general, especially considering my language skillset (PT-BR+EN-US).

Thinking about learning how to code and somehow build a career out of this. Worst case scenario, I have a portfolio and can apply for some jobs at better cities. No idea where to start, though. Which language to pick first is my dilemma.

And if you had the patience to read my wall of text, this is how I'm making 600USD per month. Both Appen and Lionsgate provided me with two gigs paying 300USD month each, and I'm capable of finishing my daily tasks under one hour. Couple that with some random clickworker tasks, and I average at about 600-800 monthly U$D.

>>1975964
Open an agency, and collect ids of other 3rd worlders who are qualified to translate.
Open Appen/ Lionsgate accounts for them without them knowing.
Send them tasks.
Submit tasks.
Keep 50% and pay them 50%

Make me proud boi

Honest question, anyone make money doing anything other than the OP?

>>1975964
You can offer to teach people your language on iTalki. There are professional teachers there but you can just offer to have a conversation as a non-qualified teacher and get paid.

Also how do you manage to finish all those tasks in under an hour??

What would you pick to learn between web development and copywriting?

>>1976885
Web development
It's paneet tier but less so than writing. Personally tutoring is the best way to go. Pajeets can't into math

>>1975358
It pays shit though because Pajeets and spics do it. The only real shit you can do online is probably flip or camwhore

>>1976891
I wish we could block those fuckers off of the internet. Especially after they killed mturk.

>>1976885
There is no choice.

You NEED both.

Copywriting is where the real money is because that's what you're going to use to get people to contract you in the first place

Look at a freelance website and read the fucking awful biographies. Some of the applications I've received for jobs are an even bigger joke

>"Hi, I'm Stacey, and I LOVE web development! I have a degree, and X years experience. I'm passionate about web development and technology"

What the fuck are you doing, love? I don't give a fuck about you. Nowhere did you mention how you could solve my problem. Your mental masturbation isn't helping anyone.

To answer your question:

Both

This is assuming you want to run your own business, which I assume is the case in a "work from home" general.

>>1976957
Thanks for the insight. What do you do that you are hiring web developers for?

>>1976894
thats why you need things indians dont have, money, assets, power, etc. making money from money is completely location independent even though everyone loves to shit on the crypto/finance meme.

iTalki

What kind of money is there to be made? I can shitpost during work a lot. Sometimes for hours.

Just don't do the the classic "Free Coins for Pokemon Go Hack" kind of thing that all Indians do and you'll be fine.

All that indians do is rip sites, use coupon codes for bing ads and beg others for advice. Learn some html and css and create your own Landingpages for your products. I made pic related this way.

I'm worried about finding a way to make money from home then the website going down. I used to make ~$300 per month a few years ago on this site called WebAnswers, and it went down.

Whats your gameplan for earning like that?

What are some other places you can do online freelance work like with Rev?

so, besides REV is there anything a NEET can do that doesnt require giving out my personal info? have zero starting capital to do anything that may need it

>>1968603
Just want to say thanks again man, I just got accepted to Rev as a captioner. This should keep me going for a few months as I work on my /biz/ness.

Here's the average earnings Rev lists, if anyone is curious.

>>1979968
How many times did you try? Was it difficult to get accepted? I've been doing transcriptions on GoTranscript and Scribie for some time now but the pay is meagre and not worth it.

>>1980308
First try and I got in, took them about 3 days to grade it.

It's pretty cool because you can see the videos to caption before you accept them, and see the reasons people unclaimed them too. Captioning is better than transcribing too, it's quicker and easer.

How much do GoTranscript and Scribie pay?

>>1980308
>>1980325
Also forgot to say, if you're a native English speaker (which I assume you are), it's really easy to get in.

>>1980308
>the pay is meagre and not worth it
What is the pay?

>>1980325
How come it's quicker? You have to sync it and watch it several times

>>1979968
Happy to hear at least someone got in. it's gonna get to you after a while, but after that hump it's gonna be smooth sailing.

>>1980941
You should watch this
>>1975157

It's a rough idea of what's expected, but if you get really into it you can type, sync and edit as you pass through. Maybe it's a personal preference but transcription feels so much slower and more tedious than captioning.

>>1965727
I just picked up web development as a side hobby, how long do you think it would take to be at an employable level from self learning?

>>1980325
Right, thanks man. Will try. I'm working on a side project so any additional cash will help.

>>1980325
>>1980904

GoTranscript is 2.33 $ per 10 minutes. Though in reality, it takes much more time since most of their audio is either of really low quality or they have heavy accents. I did only 10 transcriptions for them. Scribie on the other hand has similar rates, it's just that their transcriptions have a 6 minute duration and the pay is 1.5$+ per audio. The quality is slightly better and it takes a bit less to complete.

Nonetheless, I'm not sure if I would recommend these two even to a neet with plenty of time on disposal.

>>1981005
Web development is such a broad term, depends on what you mean by that?

>>1981038
Building and maintaining websites I suppose. Not sure if I really want to branch out from that yet.

>>1981059
Any skill is useful. Sure, you can make a few projects, have them hosted for free on github as a portfolio, and you could make it within a few months depending on your skills. Just make sure you know all the proper tools. If you're going into web development, you'll have to deal with cancer js frameworks because they are trending.
Alternatively, stick with php, mysql and build WordPress sites, this also means you'll be competing with pajeets. There are more ways to start into web development, just find something you like doing and stick to it. Also check /g/ for web dev generals. They have resources listed there, though you probably already know this.

>>1981357
Hey, another anon here. I actually started web dev last June and in December got my first junior dev job, but I found it horrifically boring. It was basically just fiddling with CSS and bad jQuery to do shit like aligning buttons on a web page. I waned to hang myself.

I can make stuff look really good, any ideas on where I could venture into with these skills? Web dev is pretty easy so I don't want to just let it all go to waste, but I'd rather hang myself than go into a typical dev office job again.


Also a general question, what could I do to make money where I could just play a podcast or music in the background as I work?

>>1966646
>1. Even though Kenny was a great roommate, John hated ________ in the shower.

him masturbating

>>1964633
>>1982399
dropshipping is working from home

>>1981610
If you can make templates that look pretty, the sky's the limit. You could make web templates and sell them on marketplaces such as ThemeForest, or WrapBootstrap and such. You could also start freelancing, though the field will be competitive but if you have a decent portfolio you'll stand apart from pajeets.

Any content creators here, or are you all focused on contract work?

>>1964633
Literally the biggest meme outside of Crime. The only good shit is tutoring and flipping because Pajeets can do neither. You need a degree for the former and money for the latter. Stack overflow has some decent salaried web developer jobs some of which give you six figures. Sometimes you need someone who does more than copy and paste. Making money is all about relationships. If you want to make money you need the right connections. That's hard to do online
