Looking to do odd jobs in person or online; all the articles talk about Taskrabbit or transcription work or other things like that but I haven’t had any luck with those…. Any good ways you all have at making some extra money? Or just suggestions on what to look into? I live in a decent sized city so I’m hoping that would open up some possibilities as well.

I've been doing this. You have to apply for it but it's really good pay for bit work if you get in. Still depends on the availability of the tasks as well

what are the tasks like, and how much do they tend to pay?

[-] RION@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

The most common are evaluating chatbot responses to prompts on accuracy, helpfulness, appropriateness, and so forth. I'd say it averages to around $20/hr

You can also determine whether a headline is clickbait, and to what extent, usually in other languages so you'll have to Google translate. That's usually ~0.25 per task and honestly it's not super worth it based on the time it takes

eh, $20/hour is still like $4 more than minimum wage in my province in Canada

Aren't these types of sites generally really shitty and sometimes don't pay people?

¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯ I've only made one withdrawal so far and it worked fine. There are complaints online about suddenly not getting any more jobs but nothing I've seen about getting screwed on pay
