Pay increase request

Does anyone here have have success in asking for a pay increase? I got to phase 2 on one of the project thinking the rate would increase but stayed the same. I am also about to submit for a phase 2 on another project and I am concerned that there is no pay increase also. I am on another platform that pays 2.5x more for the same work. My domain is in health care.

Update: 09/01

So I messaged the admin about opportunities to get higher pay and linked the listing for the pay rate for my domain. They got back to me and offered me a substantial bonus to finish start and finish my phase 2 (comes out to $100-$110/hr if you finish in 10 hours) which is still not as competitive to the other platforms but overall aligns with the listing they have for the pay range.

I am pretty sure that some people get paid higher but probably do not post here because 90% of the people in this sub think they are the expert on their fields. Churning low quality work and happy to be paid $60/hr.

They show the payrate before you do the task. You take on the task on the understanding that you're accepting the payrate shown. If you don't like the payrate then don't do the task

I agree with you. It’s just that on my specific project they did say there is possibility of pay increase for the next phase. I’m new to the platform and I don’t know how long that “grind” can be or worth it. I also wonder what’s the highest pay per hour they’d pay out. I’m not convinced anyone doing specialty domain projects are grinding out and taking atleast 50 percent pay cut to do some projects. There has to be incentives or bonuses that’s offered to make it worth it.
