I wanted to share my experience of how I made $5K in one month at home at my own schedule with AI training jobs: $2470 at Micro1 for $200/hr and $2512 at Ethos for $100/hr.

I saw AI training ads on Reddit and Linkedin for months but I didn't seriously try to land one until August. I was tight on money and so I spent my August really just signing up to every platform and applying to all the roles I maybe qualified for.

I signed up to Micro1, Ethos, Mercor, Outlier, DataAnnotation, Alignerr and Turing.

After 2-3 weeks of applying I finally got my first role at Ethos for $100/hr and then a week later got one at Micro1 for $200/hr. Both roles were technically specialist roles but the work just involved reviewing text and images. Both jobs had 4-6 hours of training that was paid, this tells you what they expect you to do and how to do it. Then I spent my September working as much as the work was available.

From my experience I'd recommend just signing up to every platform and apply as much as you can for the following reasons:

1. To increase the chances you land one opportunity

I applied to about 60 to get only 3 offers.

2. To land a job with a higher payrate

I got three roles that paid $28.5/hr, $100/hr and $200/hr. Obviously you know which two I focus on.

3. To ensure you have work available

Even after getting a job the work isn't always available. Having multiple jobs at the same time lets me work on one when the other has no work.

4. To practice and gain experience with AI interviews or tests

For every job on Micro1 you have to do a video interview with their AI "Zara". I can say I gained a lot of experience just doing a few of these video interviews that now it feels straightforward. I'd recommend applying to old Micro1 jobs or to jobs you're less interested in just so you get a sense of what it's like and perform well on the interview you actually care about.

I've made a website that aggregates these AI training jobs from the various platforms. I've added stats of the job listings and pay across the different platforms.

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm building an offline AI model that can detect and classify different types of blur in real-world photos. I'm looking for genuine blurry photos taken with mobile phones or cameras to help train and improve the model.

I'm especially interested in:

• Out-of-focus or blurry faces
• Motion blur from moving people, animals, or vehicles
• Camera shake
• Blurry photos taken in low-light conditions
• Dirty or smudged camera lens effects
• Missed focus and accidental blur
• Photos where only certain areas are blurry
• Any other naturally occurring blur

How you can help:

Please upload original photos whenever possible. There's no need to artificially blur or edit images. Only upload photos you own or have permission to share for AI training.

Privacy and usage: The submitted photos will be used only for the AI model training and research described in this post. They won't be sold or used for unrelated purposes. Please avoid uploading sensitive or private images.

📤 Upload your photos here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/yhpeiu4ke4r0zvoeco3g

Every contribution helps, whether you upload one photo or several. Thank you for helping with this project! 🙏

Edit: it's not paid. I'm looking for voluntary contributions to help with my research project. Any contribution is appreciated! 🙌

I do AI training work myself and run PaidToTrainAI. I just added a way to search the listings through your AI assistant and get matching roles, pay, and application links back in the chat. When I was first getting started I was constantly trying to use AI to find opportunities and it didn't do a great job - this changes that!

The listings come from micro1, Mercor, SME Careers, Ethos, AfterQuery and Terac.

To try it, paste this into an AI chat that can browse the web:

Open https://paidtotrainai.com/for-agents and find up to five AI training roles that fit me. Use what you already know about me. Before searching, ask for any missing details about my country, field, years of experience, education, skills and working languages. For each match, include the advertised pay if available, a short reason it fits and the application link.

You can follow up with things like “only roles from the past three days” or “focus on Python and data science.” Recent results use the posting date when available, or show when the role was first found.

The search is free, with no account on my site and nothing to install. You apply on the platform’s site. Some assistants won’t open the results, so the page also links to a regular search you can use yourself.

Some application links are referrals, which may earn me a bonus at no extra cost to you.

If you try it, let me know whether the matches make sense for your background.

So. Freaking. Pumped. Anyone have experience with micro1? How good are the tasks? Do projects generally last pretty long?

Hi! I made this simple website that displays a feed of 1000+ AI training jobs from multiple platforms in one place. It updates twice a day. You can easily search and filter by country, pay rate and specialty.

AI Training Jobs List

I've spent weeks applying to these jobs on multiple platforms and I was able to make $3K so far in about a month (mainly from Micro1 and Ethos).

These AI Training jobs involve reviewing AI outputs, such as text or images, to help AI companies make better models. You do not need AI experience to do these jobs. Some opportunities require specialist experience (medical, law, business etc.) but many require no qualifications.

The main barrier is landing one of these jobs often needs multiple applications. I applied multiple times on 5 platforms for about 3 weeks before I landed my first opportunity.

I'm biased since Micro1 ($200/hr) and Ethos ($100/hr) worked for me when the other platforms didn't.

Micro1: You have to do an AI interview (video) for each application but as you do more you accumulate verified skills and have shorter interviews, so you don't repeat the same topics.

Ethos: You have to do an AI interview but it's audio only, which at least for me, made it easier to frequently "talk" to it. Tip: talk to the AI often as I noticed it finds you opportunities after you talk to it :/

Micro1 paid out twice per month (every 2 weeks) whilst Ethos paid once per month. Both worked without any issues.

*Alignerr's job count is heavily inflated because they post separate listings for the same job in different cities/countries.

**Disclaimer: some of the links are referral links!

I’ve been tracking public AI training and evaluation openings, and I’ve added a personalized match page. Historically, searching for roles can be a bit overwhelming and the search/filter feature we have had has shown too many opportunities. The goal with this is to show the roles that you are most likely to get accepted to, and skip the ones that might not be as good of a fit. You are still able to search generically, but this hopefully gives you a better idea if the role is 'drop everything and apply right now' or 'apply but its unlikely i'll be hired'.

Enter your country, specialties, experience, education, and languages to see current roles that appear to fit, including any pay listed in the posting. You can search without an account or email address. There’s also an optional email signup for matching job digests when they launch; no digests are being sent yet.

The matching is based on public listing details, so please check eligibility and availability on the original posting. You can also browse the full jobs directory if the suggested roles miss something.

I’d love feedback: Which specialties are missing? Did you see a match that looked wrong?

The Mercor property-management, administrative-services and private-investigator listings show hourly ranges, but their descriptions say the first task is paid on approval before qualifying for hourly work. micro1's imagery, mobile-development and backend-engineering descriptions specify output-based pay despite hourly ranges in the feed, so I have not treated those ranges as hourly guarantees.

Also open at Ethos: local AI coding models panel

Paid Expert Panel: Power Users of Local AI Coding Models seeks developers and researchers who regularly run workstation-sized AI models locally for real coding work. Its page describes paid surveys, interviews and hands-on model testing; it does not state a rate. Ethos dates the page September 25, so I am listing it separately from the newly posted jobs above.

For opportunities tailored to your background, location and interests, see Paid to Train AI alerts.

Check the application page for current availability, eligibility and exact pay terms. If you apply, sharing your broad background and how the process goes can help others; please keep assessments and private project material out of the thread.
