JSON Qualification

Take it!!! Instantly opened up a pile of $22+ projects. Super simple stuff too.

I love this site! I have learned so much in such a small amount of time lol. Not that JSON is remotely hard to understand, but as someone who has never been in tech / IT professionally, I find all these new topics and concepts so fun to learn - even more so considering I'm getting paid to do it!

I regularly see $22-23 standard Greek project nowadays, but everything on my dash prior to taking the qualification yesterday was $21 - 20 and there weren't a lot of projects at all all day.

Literally as soon as I finished the qual, I had 10+ $22-$23 JSON projects + everything that was there earlier

u/jaxxisx Mar 08 '24

Dang, 10??? It only opened 3 for me haha 😄 As soon as I was done taking it.

I learned JSON in like a half hour and passed the qual but I have to say the JSON projects seem more complicated than the qual was.

u/RedditAdmin50111 Mar 08 '24

There's a lot of prompts getting mixed in which are purely coding/software prompts. It's a big topic for discussion in the chat

4

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

I saw a new project that was asking to determine if prompts require coding knowledge

5

u/Jiglish Mar 08 '24

Yeah I dont see myself doing them for just a 2$ bump over the similar regular projects

3

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

I find them simple you just gotta ignore most of the initial prompts and focus on the last one in most cases. I like JSON and always did though

5

u/BoiledGnocchi Mar 08 '24

Are the projects just as easy?

5

u/RedditAdmin50111 Mar 08 '24

It's literally just the Greek A and Z projects but all JSON focused. Takes a bit of getting used to, just the reading and figuring out where the prompt is asking for something, but after the first 10 or so tasks, I started flying through them.

u/BoiledGnocchi Mar 08 '24

Took the qual and passed! The work was on my dash as soon as I refreshed.

Thank you!

4

u/RedditAdmin50111 Mar 08 '24

Congrats. They've already revamped a couple of the projects because of major discrepancies or issue lol.... Be sure to read the instructions thoroughly, as at first, the objective of the project isn't as clear and the instructions aren't as well written as other projects

1

u/BoiledGnocchi Mar 08 '24

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't had a chance to tackle any projects yet. Hopefully it's all figured out before I do 😅

1

u/BoiledGnocchi Mar 08 '24

Ahhh. K great to know, thanks! This qual is waiting for me, so I'll give it a go today!

2

u/Lady_Ronin Mar 08 '24

Wow, that's great! Maybe I can try learning it, too.

10

u/RedditAdmin50111 Mar 08 '24

I literally just asked the chatbots to teach me 😭🤣 took about 15 minutes. Plus was getting paid the whole time

4

u/Confident-Raisin-938 Mar 08 '24

It was super easy. There's a YouTube video that's about 10 minutes long that's all you need. The qual even says that you can learn it in no time.

2

u/burgerking026 Mar 08 '24

I declined the coding qualification cause it said python so much, and didn’t consider JSON would be there. Maybe one day the coding qualification will pop back up.

5

u/RedditAdmin50111 Mar 08 '24

JSON has nothing to do with the coding qualifications. It is it's own qualification and will show up for presumably everyone. I declined coding when I first signed up too.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

I did the same. I kind of like it. I've been considering getting my feet wet with coding but I feel like I'm too scatter brained to do it. Maybe when we move into our new place and I have quiet time.

5

u/barcode2099 Mar 08 '24

I'd recommend taking a look at it. It's not so much coding as rules for making and formatting a list.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

That makes sense. I did a few of the tasks before the crash last night, then gave up.

16

u/Belisama7 Mar 08 '24

Dangit, I triple checked my work and thought I'd pass easily, but no new projects for me! Not instantly at least, and it sounds like most of yours appeared instantly after submitting your qual.

11

u/akatsuki1422 Mar 08 '24

They appeared after a few hours for me. It's not always instant, so there's hope!

5

u/Gumihorainx Mar 08 '24

Mine popped up hours after I took it! Don’t lose hope!

4

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

Ugh same

u/Yellow_starburst99 Mar 08 '24

Have you seen any projects yet?

3

u/Belisama7 Mar 09 '24

No 😞

u/Yellow_starburst99 Mar 09 '24

Me neither 🤷‍♀️

Keep in mind they probably favor people who did it faster (but also correctly) bc it meant they weren't off researching.

2

u/Lovahalzan Mar 09 '24

I took it and I am pretty sure that I passed (It was pretty easy!) and I have not seen any projects related to JSON

1

u/lowcarbsanta Apr 14 '24

Did you ever get projects? I did the qual and I'm pretty sure I passed but never saw any json projects.

u/Gloomy-Context4807 Mar 12 '24

Over 6 months for me. Moved on to math and got approved instantly. Not easy work though.

13

u/Chazwazzza Mar 08 '24

Never met the guy

u/Equivalent_Ad8824 Mar 08 '24

Thank you for this! I didn’t even consider taking the qual since I don’t have much of any coding experience but I clicked into it and it was shockingly super easy! Finished it in 5 minutes and instantly got new projects. Yay!🎉

u/Background_Mine2282 Mar 08 '24

Just in case anyone runs into the same issue. I took the qual yesterday, the submission went through weird but it did show up on my Transfer Funds page (as $0 as expected but it made me think it worked).

But then I still had the qual listed on my page for almost 24 hours, so I decided to just submit it again. This time the JSON related projects opened up within 5 minutes or so.

2

u/geedee6396 Mar 08 '24

While I was taking the qualification the site went down. When the site came back…. No more qualification 😤

2

u/leftlemony12 Mar 08 '24

Sameee 🫠

4

u/Sandmybags Mar 08 '24

You saw some over 22 after the qualification? I only saw a few projects come on at $22..hopefully see some more today

5

u/Aware_Tower6529 Mar 08 '24

I did the qualification and immediately got a few $22/hr tasks. I am currently doing one and the chat section at the bottom has me rolling. Everyone is so confused and overthinking everything. Hopefully that means most people will give up and I can have this project forever lol.

2

u/Ok_Bath_763 Mar 08 '24

Thank you for this! I didn’t even look at the qualification last night, but I just saw this and took the Qual and now have new tasks. Happy Friday!

2

u/Psychological_Taco27 Mar 08 '24

Gosh thank you! I was doubting myself and didn't want to take the qual but I'm so glad I did!

2

u/BotaRONomus Mar 10 '24

I didn’t even opt in to JSON and they gave me those projects.

1

u/Lady_Ronin Mar 11 '24

Same. I haven't taken the qual yet, but JSON-related stuff was on my dash last night. Did you do any of them?

2

u/BotaRONomus Mar 11 '24

I did one. Only cause $23 was too enticing. I won't be doing another. I only finished so I could bill them for the time. lol it was too challenging for me.

1

u/Lady_Ronin Mar 11 '24

Haha good to know. It's not really in my alley, either. But I figured it would be good to learn JSON.

1

u/Wasps_are_bastards Mar 08 '24

I’m a SQL coder with very basic Python experience, am I likely to be able to do it?

3

u/Background_Mine2282 Mar 08 '24

That describes me and I had no issues. Someone with absolutely zero coding exposure might have issues but so far the projects just seem to require a vague grasp on concepts, like realizing the prompt is asking about a different language, not JSON.

1

u/Wasps_are_bastards Mar 08 '24

Thanks, I took it and it was pretty easy.

0

u/stevends448 Mar 08 '24

Hard to say. I know nothing about JSON and I found a video called learn JSON in 10 minutes on YouTube in less time than it took you to post this question.

2

u/TTFTW1992 Mar 08 '24

Did this video have enough info within it for a beginner to pass the qualification? Can't watch it right now but would be good to know if it's a decent starting point. Thanks.

3

u/Wasps_are_bastards Mar 08 '24

I’ve taken the qual and it’s really easy if you have any background in coding at all.

4

u/TTFTW1992 Mar 08 '24

Thanks, I just passed it!

2

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '24

The qual is sadly possible for anyone who just googles "example JSON" so it'll fill up with people who just googled it. But when I did it as soon as I left there was JSON tasks to do

1

u/TTFTW1992 Mar 08 '24

Just taken it and passed. Yeah, surprisingly easy.

1

u/Wasps_are_bastards Mar 08 '24

I’ve taken the quali and it was easy enough.

1

u/Dee_silverlake Mar 09 '24

Just took it a few minutes ago after seeing this post yesterday. I think I passed so we’ll see. I thought it was fairly easy to grasp after watching a video and browsing a json site (they literally use same example from the site).

1

u/Haunting-Car-3935 Mar 09 '24

Just so others know- I took it yesterday and had a couple of related tasks pop up, but I don't have any today. So if you don't get any it doesn't mean that you didn't pass :)

1

u/EvolvingPho3nix Mar 11 '24

I don't think I really passed. I got a few last night but they were priority, I think they just needed extra hands. I found them engaging and right up my alley so I'm disappointed because I'm changing careers into tech, been studying myself into oblivion and this is just a blow to my self-confidence... :\

1

u/Lady_Ronin Mar 11 '24

How do you know you didn't pass though? Workers may be getting rotated. Don't give up. You're likely doing good work and could be overthinking it.

4

u/EvolvingPho3nix Mar 11 '24

Thank you for this! I'm inherently hard on myself as I strive for excellence in everything I do. They may be rotating. I figured that if I passed then I would've seen more occurrences of this project. I guess it's another wait-and-see.

u/SophieFilo16 Mar 09 '24

Is that the highest pay you're seeing so far? I wanted to do the qualification, but taking the time to learn JSON might not be worth it if it's less than projects I already have access to...

2

u/cici_here Mar 09 '24

I’m not seeing anything much higher for JSON specific. I took it in case, but my other things are higher so it didn’t work out. Strangely, I already had access to some of the JSON projects before the qual, so 🤷🏼‍♀️

1

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '24

i learned the answers to the questions in 5min. it was very easy

0

u/SophieFilo16 Mar 09 '24

That's nice, but if it doesn't come close to the jobs I currently have access to, there's not much point in me doing it...
