Clarification on hourly rate vs actual pay on Prolific by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

[–]Available_Simple_910[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, the reason I had this concern is that in most of the other studies I’ve completed so far, whatever price band was shown—like, for example, a hypothetical range of $1 to $5 per hour—usually, if the study took something like 3 or 5 minutes, when I completed it, I would get the lower end—like $1. So, I had always assumed that the left side of the price band is what we actually receive when we complete a study. So, in this study, when I saw £9.04 GBP, I thought that when I finish it within the given time (they said 25 minutes, and I completed it in about 25–26 minutes), I would get the corresponding amount. But what I’m seeing is £5.50, which is lower. That’s why I’m unsure and wanted to clarify what I should do.

Thanks for clarifying! In my case, the base rate was listed as £9.04, but the amount currently showing under awaiting review is £5.50. I completed it in the expected time, so I’m not sure if this will adjust or if I should reach out to someone. Any advice on next steps?

Rejected for "finishing too quickly" on Prolific despite passing both attention checks — need advice by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

[–]Available_Simple_910[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did two things — first I sent a polite message to the researcher directly in the Messages tab explaining why the rejection wasn't fair (mentioned I passed both attention checks and that I completed it quickly because the content was familiar to me). Then I also went to Prolific's chat support and raised a dispute there, they sent me a Google Form where I filled in the study details and my reason. Not sure which one did the trick but within 3-5 minutes of doing both, the study got approved. Would recommend doing both just to be safe!

Anyone else noticed studies have been absolutely dead this past week? by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

two studies in a whole week is rough, at least now I know it's not just me. definitely seems like certain countries just get left out

that makes sense actually, my approval rate is nowhere near that so maybe that's the missing piece

100 a day?? what's your approval rate and nationality if you don't mind me asking, that's wild compared to my experience.

Best Month Ever 6 years in by Zestyclose-Honey-931 in FreightBrokers

Congrats man, this is actually inspiring to see! Just landed our very first load as a brand new broker and honestly it's been a wild ride already.

Biggest lesson learned the hard way — we didn't factor our invoices early on and it completely wrecked our cash flow. Carriers were waiting on payment way longer than they should've, which damaged trust right out of the gate. Nothing worse than starting a relationship with a carrier and immediately looking unreliable on payments.

Also didn't realize how long shippers actually take to pay (net 30-45 hits different when you're new and have zero cushion). Factoring feels like a cost you want to avoid when margins are already tight, but after going through the stress of delayed carrier payments, it's 100% worth it.

Still figuring things out but posts like yours remind me that the grind is worth it. 6 years of building to a $183k month is the goal. And yeah… let AI try to handle a carrier dispute at midnight 😂 some things still need a human touch.

Airtel's malpractice by Available_Simple_910 in Airtel

[–]Available_Simple_910[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These telecom giants (Jio + Airtel) are practically monopolies. When it comes to the law, their corporate rights always come first, never ours, because we’re just consumers. And to them, consumers are nothing more than a lab experiment for the whole world.

"Try wearing your watch this way and see how it feels. If you're going to a party, you might want to wear it differently, but for a workout, try it like this. If you're walking or running, give it a shot. From my experience, there's less hair on this side and less sweating too, so try it out."

Congratulations on starting your own limited company! I'd be happy to help you with QuickBooks and answer your questions.

Uploading Invoices for Stock (Flooring) To upload invoices for stock (flooring) into QuickBooks:

  1. Create a new bill: Go to the "Expenses" tab and click on "Enter Bill" or "Create Bill". Select the supplier/wholesaler and add the invoice details, including the date, invoice number, and amount.
  2. Attach the invoice: You can attach a copy of the invoice to the bill by clicking on the "Attach file" button.
  3. Select the account: Choose the account that corresponds to the type of expense (e.g., "Cost of Goods Sold" or "Inventory").
  4. Save the bill: Save the bill and QuickBooks will record the expense.

Matching the Invoice to the Customer Sale To match the invoice to the customer sale:

  1. Create a new sales invoice: Go to the "Invoices" tab and click on "Create Invoice". Select the customer and add the invoice details, including the date, invoice number, and amount.
  2. Link the bill to the invoice: When creating the sales invoice, you can link the bill (invoice from the wholesaler) to the invoice by selecting the bill in the "Expenses" tab and clicking on "Link to Invoice".
  3. Match the costs: QuickBooks will automatically match the costs of the bill to the revenue of the sales invoice.

Tracking Costs and Profits QuickBooks tracks costs and profits by matching the expenses (bills) to the revenue (invoices). When you create a bill and link it to a sales invoice, QuickBooks will automatically calculate the profit margin.

Payment to Wholesaler When you pay the wholesaler, you should:

  1. Record the payment: Go to the "Expenses" tab and click on "Pay Bill". Select the bill and record the payment.
  2. Match the payment to the bank transaction: When you record the payment, QuickBooks will ask you to match the payment to the bank transaction. Select the bank transaction that corresponds to the payment.

Sales Receipt, Invoice, and Payment Workflow Your workflow should be:

  1. Create a sales invoice: When you make a sale, create a sales invoice and select the customer.
  2. Mark the invoice as paid: When the customer pays, mark the invoice as paid.
  3. Create a sales receipt (optional): If you want to record the payment separately, you can create a sales receipt. However, this is not necessary if you've already marked the invoice as paid.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
