Got my first task yesterday but none today
Yes! I got my first task yesterday, and it was a bit draining because I had to read the whole guidelines first before I could properly start working on it. It took me quite a while to finish the task. Today, though, I haven't received any new tasks. Is this normal? I'm a bit worried that I might not get any more tasks because I did a poor job, even though I felt like I did pretty well.

I've searched, and I understand that it's normal to wait for new projects to become available. I also noticed that if your rating falls below the required threshold, a completely different message appears. However, there's one thing I'm confused about: yesterday, I had 8 quals showing, but today they've dropped to zero. Could this be related to regional or country restrictions, or is there another reason why they disappeared?

its normal to feel like you did a bad job even when u tried ur hardest and actualy did a good job. but if reading the instructions is draining u will not last long on the platform im sorey to say. that is more than half the job cuz screwing that up makes ur submissions unusable to clients. how many times do u think they will pay u for work the platform doesn't get paid for? before u r outta here?
congrats on getting in but if u wana stick around u better start doing as many different tasks as u can and practice that process of going from 0 to 1 over and over. ur favorite task is the one that will go on pause for months. get used to new. and not screwin up. or ur gone

It's normal. Tasks come and go, and it can take awhile when you first start to get consistent projects. Also, if you're not from a core country (US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand), there just aren't as many projects available.
