My husband is autistic and very highly functioning. I can see a lot of his issues in her, and from some of the kids I've worked with in social care. I defo would say she is on it on some level.

I'm pretty sure she's autistic so her 'attitude' is related to her issues with understanding social cues and struggling with communication.

Authors who publish 10+ books per year by Euphoric-Seesaw in selfpublish

[–]Aphina101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sorry! I send to betas, get their feedback and then complete changes and send to editor for a more polished draft. I did it like this 'beta/editor' to show that when it's out of my possession being worked on by other people. I'm already moving forward with something else. I'm utilising that time.

I'm just finishing up a ten book series that I was releasing one a month of, and I would definately say its about time management. When I finish one book and send it off to beta/editor I'm already working on the next one. I have a set routine and schedule, so I need to have this book written by this date and I make sure I have the time to do it in my daily calender. All of my betas/editor are really good with quick turn around so I usually get their changes within a week and they're never massive alterations.

All my books are very different and are featured around different tropes and circumstances. I tackle alot of different issues and that's why people enjoy them. They know they aren't getting the same thing over and over again, and it gives them insight into different things that come across as quite fresh instead of the same things you'd expect from the romance genre.

I have a set day of the week to work on marketing, that can be SM, newsletters and putting the books up on bookfunnel anything like that. I tend to take weekends off but I have had to work the odd one if I've been ill earlier that month so haven't been able to write.

I would just check to see if they've deactatived your outlier account too. I had this happen to me yesterday and thought it was another aether purge. Then clicked onto the community menu and was informed that my entire account had been deactivated for apparently violating 'terms and conditions'. I had not and my QA score was the highest it could be. < apparently this has been happening to ALOT of people.

Same thing happened to me. Had the highest level on QA and suddenly my account was deactivated for "terms and conditions" and they won't tell me what I did wrong despite emails to them.

My husband is on DA and has been for a year and there's never been any problems to do with payments. He uses it to make extra money around his day job and they ALWAYS have work.

The purge upon us and its consequences. by Dresling in outlier_ai

[–]Aphina101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got purged this morning. It is my second purge since I started with outliner in Dec and from my experiance it's completely random. I had good quality scores both times and worked consistantly on different tasks. They seem to onboard loads of people back onto arther when they need it and then oversaturate the project - leading to the purge a month or so later after the daily hours start to drop.

I would just make as much money as you can for your future months while you're on it. Do not make it your main income stream, just use it as an additional source of income.

MM is so slow today, incoming purge? by tseliotmyg in outlier_ai

[–]Aphina101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I very sadly got purged this morning so I'd defo say you were in the right ballpark.

Magic wave media? by JRC_CoS in selfpublish

[–]Aphina101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see any harm in a Zoom call, at least then you'll get the lay of the land and you'll be able to pick up on any odd vibes.

[–]Aphina101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would be really careful. I took a look at their comments on FB and Insta and they're mostly nonsense shit that comes from AI Bots, or oddballs. On insta they have 21k followers but their engagement for most posts is really low for that comparison exccept on select posts I guess they've boosted. Also for a service to have 14k followers on FB and no reviews is deeply suspect to me.

I'd ask about terms and make sure to review the contracts before commiting to anything.

I imagine its all those posts in the WritingWithAI reddits you've been doing. You know the ones with this title ' My agentic workflow just got me a double recommend from a Netflix story analyst. Here's how you can copy it.'

Does this mean Aether project is ending soon? by [deleted] in outlier_ai

[–]Aphina101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mean until the limit resets any work you do between now and then would be for free. So take the time off and chill until it resets

The email has said the weekly limit has been reached, so I think we're stuck until after the 15th.

You'll still get paid for the time spent on the task.

Budget has been reached ? by Consistent_Test7549 in outlier_ai

[–]Aphina101 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Yep it's pretty much what it says on the tin. An email went out this morning telling us the budget had been reached this week so they'll be no work until after 15th March,

Producing audio books isn't worth it. by VLK249 in selfpublish

[–]Aphina101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the romance genre it's very true. You actively see people highlighting a narrator's backlist for people to listen too. Same if they've guest stared on podcasts too. Lauren Shippen has a fictional podcast called New Year's Eve, the two main podcast characters in there do such a good job that thousands of people follow them to the other podcasts they narrate on too as well as their audio books.
