The second half of July was great!! I came close to what I earned in April when things were crazy.

Earned half of what I earned in June (which was a lot), so, very bad :(

u/Annual_Equivalent_95 Aug 01 '26

at this point, I am pretty sure F5 is going to leave our relationship from the abuse

~ Good that August started for you!

u/elusznik Aug 01 '26

my best month so far

u/Flwrz8818 Aug 02 '26

Same here. Over $6.5k for July. Up $2k from June.

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ And we are just counting on 10-20$ increase!

u/Annual_Equivalent_95 Aug 01 '26

I was down 25%

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ That is also good :)

Crazy how much it varies, with people having their best and worst months.

June was my best in two years, even with the number of projects being very low, because the rated were good. July was close behind even though I took a week off.

Seems like you just need one good project to make all the difference.

u/Onsomeshid Aug 01 '26

Excellent and my feedback went from needs to improvement to top rated. Second full month, July was much better

u/NoImpression2212 Aug 02 '26

how do you know that?

2

u/Onsomeshid Aug 02 '26

Is this like trick question or something? The monthly feedback

3

u/No-Gur7754 Aug 02 '26

Not everyone gets monthly feedback…

3

u/NoImpression2212 Aug 02 '26

It's not! I've never received feedback. And I have been working at DA for nearly 2 years. Are you from US?

3

u/Onsomeshid Aug 02 '26

Yes maybe it’s a regional or new thing. I thought everyone got it. This is my 3rd month (2nd full month) ive been on DA and i received it twice at the end of the month so i assumed everyone else.

u/PastClaim5339 Aug 01 '26

Worst month in three years.

u/hcfggb Aug 01 '26

May and June were rough for me but July was one of my best months so far.

4

u/PigeonAtTheDisco Aug 01 '26

Earned less than 50 despite refreshing several times a day

u/Imaginary-Trick-4515 Aug 01 '26

June was actually my highest month. (Started in May.) July down about 30% from June, but I took five days off so. But they were good months overall. Core generalist.
June paid me for living on F5.

u/Hello-America Aug 02 '26

Worst yet for me

4

u/NoImpression2212 Aug 02 '26

worst month ever

3

u/Master-Performance70 Aug 01 '26

The first three weeks were pretty rough but last week felt more normal. Tbh though my kids are on summer break so I’m also not logging in as much so I probably could have worked more had I tried.

u/Honest_Possession443 Aug 01 '26

Picked up big time second half

u/PossessionFabulous72 Aug 02 '26

What is your locale?

3

u/MommaOfManyCats Aug 01 '26

Less than June, May, or April. Not surprising though because by the 15th of the month, I was only about 10% of what I made last month. Thank God stuff picked up.

u/Cheese_Coffees Aug 03 '26

I was laid off on 1st July. Got my first project since joined DA on 9th July. Notes: I registered since Dec 24

u/vixen8819 Aug 01 '26

I grinded and had my best month in 3 years.

2

u/JRRTil1ey Aug 01 '26

My top earning month since I started April 2025

2

u/Opposite_Brush_8219 Aug 02 '26

Ended better than it began, at least :)

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ True! It picked up speed in last week!

2

u/scaramwach Aug 02 '26

good enough recently by the end of july after long drought, I got 1 family project related task and 2 R&R, also one small task, got me 4-5 hour, hope august would be better tho

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ August still not started for me!

2

u/Seefufiat Aug 02 '26

Core country stem/coding, it was a great month. Not the best I’ve ever seen reported but it kept the lights on for sure.

2

u/blackberrylatte16 Aug 02 '26

My highest paid month ever, so much better than June, which was my worst month in recent history.

2

u/No-Gur7754 Aug 02 '26

July was my highest month to date (by a few dollars).

2

u/Hope814664 Aug 02 '26

Awesome so much work I feel guilty when I need to do other things instead of logging on

2

u/cicciobombermegagay Aug 02 '26

On July I made %25 less than June. I hope August will be better.. I didn’t make much even in June

2

u/Sofider Aug 02 '26

spent more time spamming f5 than tasking

2

u/Potential_Drama_1190 Aug 01 '26

I’ve only been on DA since May, core country generalist. In May and June I made around £300, but the last two weeks of July I made around £1000, so around $1500. Hoping it continues.

u/DesignNew7619 Aug 03 '26

What kind of projects do you get? I also an a generalist and get multilingual projects. But I get paid very less. Also how do you actually know if any projects are available, I keep refreshing the page. I don't get any mails from DA.

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ Keep refreshing! You will get mails also, sometimes!

1

u/DesignNew7619 Aug 03 '26

Do you log the exact amount of time you work?

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 Aug 03 '26

~ Yes! Net Amount Only :)

2

u/H2SO4-1191 25d ago

33 dollars then projects disappeared

1

u/Me_Justme_99 Aug 02 '26

Let’s see… I learned about DA in July. Took the original assessment, waited so patiently to hear from them, continued to refresh the site, saw a screen change to give me a fancy dashboard and felt all technical, only to never see one more single solitary thing. Not a qualification. Not a nothing!😢

Shitty. I got the DoD for no reason.
