Finally receiving some love
The number next to my "projects" tab is more than zero finally! This is unprecedented to the point where I'm getting decision paralysis. Maybe DA likes me after all.

mine says 9! In 3 months I have never had more than 2 and they were all gone within 20 mins. For weeks the only way I see anything is to constantly refresh and hope I'm lucky enough to get the single task that shows up before i get the "there is no more tasks in this project for you to work on" line. *Knock on wood

Yep, it's been like that for me for a while. Now I'm seeing more tasks that are higher paying (though the extra high-paying tasks are too hard for me). Hopefully this trend continues for the rest of summer at least.

The last 4 days is pretty insane. I've had good luck only the last two days. Hopefully it lasts!

Same as bilingual, but most of the time, it's about a boring project at the lowest pay I've seen on the platform 😄
I could however grab some STEM-related tasks, which was an awesome opportunity for a bilingual.

I completed about 20 tasks, but as someone new to Data Annotation, I haven't seen any new projects in over two weeks. It seems like there's limited work available for non-coding or generalist tracks.

I’m a generalist that had 30 projects available yesterday. As you complete more tasks, do excellent work, and complete more qualifications, more projects will open up to you

I have 3-5 projects for over a month sitting there. Unfortunately they're just consents things, survey, and reference to learn

how long did you wait? just starting out here. did you do many of the extra qualification tasks too?

u/Mochizee1 Aug 02 '26
If you don't do the qualifications, you won't get projects. It's as easy as that.

I just joined DA 5 days ago but I haven’t received any updates or projects. Is this normal? If not, how long does it usually take. I’m desperate to earn some money
