    Yeah I think James is the name he goes by now.
    I was working with Lionbridge before Turking. I didn't manage to get anything more than a few hours per month. Was that the case for you as well? Or am I signed up with the wrong position?

    Maybe it is a different position that you held? If I do my minimum I get 40 hrs a month...max is 80 hrs a month unless they have a ton of work and give your permission to do more.

    But, seriously, it sounds like those mindsparks.

    I should look into that then. I couldn't confirm if that was weird or not. Do you know which position you hold?

    I do, but the method is super good for his business. I feel like 99% of workers who give "advice" to requesters only do so as far as it benefits them :emoji_rolling_eyes:

    Oh, you have a mindless task any 13 year old could do? Well shit man you need to pay $50/hr and give me and my friends a closed qual so only us awesome Twerkers can do them!

    Oh well yeah, there's that.

    The funnel pay works for him and doesn't suck completely because it's such a tight qual. If we had 500 with the qual, all the work would get done because there's always someone who'll do hits for $2/hr. And he'd get an even worse TO than he already has since it would never work its way up to a livable wage for the hard ones. That system only works for everyone if it's a small group.

    Yeah, it was ridiculously hard. It's extremely common for people to fail lol. You can re-test, but I think they said you can't do it for 6 months. :emoji_rolling_eyes:

    + he has a ridiculously high profit margin on the tasks. I don't know the #s on this new guys stuff, but trying to do a funnel system on like .10 tasks would be laughable I think.
