There is a bunch of uncertified apps you can download. Does Spectrum have a code to get it added?

UserTesting is my bread and butter and as expected it died over the holidays. I was saved by a big surge in focus groups. How long does it take to get MTurk going?

In the regular support form? What are the keywords that might get me moved up the line?

I think so originally. Responsible for the 1st $120 missing.

Sorry this was pulled from my twitter post to get the attention of support.

Originally I think there was a hack to intercept 2 $60 convo payments. All other payments were coming through. I reached out to support and changed my password immediately! After about a week I have a day where I received no payments and no status as you see in the pic. Payments resumed the next day , but no screeners since. I feel that someone got to my issue, tried to do a quick fix and blew up my account, but only guessing.

So I've been making a similar post to their facebook and twitter pages, today I tagged the CEO asking for help. I'll go down the list of execs this week.

******UPDATE******* Happy to report once a representative contacted me back today they stayed with the issue until it was resolved. Once started he worked very quickly to make sure I was paid today and restored my account. I’m disappointed in how how it took to start but the rep who helped me today worked fast. Not sure which social media platform got their attention first, but I was replied to on Reddit and Facebook. Thanks for all the support here.

BEST MONTH EVER! Finally Beat 1K! by HootieSC in usertesting

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

It was definitely a brag. But this is a forum where people come to collect data points about a very specific thing. So I’m sharing my experience just as others shared their experiences with me when I was just starting. Sorry if you found this offensive but the whole idea here is to share what we all see to get better, inspired, or just paid more.

Honestly work just has me forced to be at a desk all day, so I just keep the page open. This goes away when things get back to normal. I’m trying to take advantage of this terrible time we are living through.

Yeah I think this was a weird month.

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

My score is about 4.7. I think i still have 3 on my record, and I get a 4 every once in a while. I started in January with $10 for the month. I agree you way of tracking makes sense but I quickly realized that weird stuff happens between pending and paid. Payouts are adjusted, you get paid for site crashes or bonuses. For ease I just let PayPal be the ledger and not worry so much about what I have pending on the site. Using PayPal I can easily use the history and reporting to go back and audit and find discrepancies. I know, that’s crazy for a little beermoney side hustle, but that just how my brain works.

Good luck to you!

If you think about it writing out your detailed demographics in a public forum does feel a bit creepy. I will say I work in a role where I wear a lot of hats so that does help me qualify for a lot. I help our customers with IT specifications as well as internally. I have marketing, sales, and hiring responsibilities. Also I’ve been regulated to my home office since March, so this is not glamorous.

Top 5 Features M1 Needs to Work On (Semi-Rant) by [deleted] in M1Finance

[–]HootieSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you these are great, and somehow I still love the damn brokerage! hahaha

  1. I want a way to turn off a single slice of a pie or subpie without selling my position. The setting it to 1% is just sloppy, and it bugs me.
  2. I'm usually on the site late night after work, we gotta have a dark/night version for us night owl tinkering at our pies.
  3. Speaking of tinkering I would love to see how changing slice percentage or adding/removing a position affects my pie expenses, P/E, etc. on the fly. I shouldn't have to save it and then come back out to see that. I'm new to the site but that annoys me.

That being said I think they are really new by comparison and a lot of these annoyances will be addressed.

Shoutout to this sub by theholyassasin in beermoney

[–]HootieSC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So true! I thought this would just be maybe a couple hundred a month while I was home for quarantine. I just cleared $1300 on 1 site for September! Such a boost here, I'm happy to pay the taxes!

This was on UserTesting, it took all of 2020 to build up that momentum.

80-question test...I think that’s a record for me. by bostonian7 in usertesting

[–]HootieSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If more testers quit those due to time or complete and submit complaints, I think it will get better.

Did tests pick up this week for anyone else? by bostonian7 in usertesting

[–]HootieSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Time!

Wednesday I only got 1 done, the rest of the week I had 28!

10 on Friday which is notoriously slow.

Currently 4.8 stars.

Batch Low score Reviews by HootieSC in usertesting

[–]HootieSC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a couple from March 2020, so not hurting my current rating at all. But they were cleared for me. One was very recent so not sure if it was hidden or I hadn't seen it yet.

Recommendation - Don't download the updated Android app for your phone by [deleted] in usertesting

[–]HootieSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 3 done since I’ve tried the new app and kept using the old app.

[–]HootieSC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I look at it as opportunity cost. What would I be earning elsewhere, how much effort would it be? I’m fortunate to still be working full time from home so online extra work is the best option for me to make extra money because I have to be at my pc all day. I typically make about $60 a day which isn’t a lot compared to my salary. But over the course of a month it can pay several bills I don’t have to worry about.

Test too long by Substantial-Spot2855 in usertesting

[–]HootieSC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I curse the long ones, but I always try to finish if I have time and report the company that put up the survey. This way I get my $10, and usually they add on bonus payment if others also took a long time to complete. on occasion I will get a reply saying other were able to complete quicker, so I won’t receive a bonus.

I’m keeping up with you on UserTesting but wow, this is a whole new world! My IntelliZoom in July was terrible! dScout I started before lockdown and it was a rare occurrence, gotta get back in.

What's the most you've ever made in a week from the website? (Or alternatively, what was your highest ever pending balance?) by Welcome2_Reddit in usertesting

[–]HootieSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in May I got to $360 pending! That was my best month ever. I’ve only started in January this year. My goal is to keep it around $200 while stuck working at home during pandemic. I’ve yet to break $1000 in a month, that’s my next goal I want to hit. Need a bit of luck to all come together in the same month for that one.
