WANT TO WORK FOR GOOGLE? HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
How would you feel if you could get paid to just search things online? Because chances are, you already do...a lot.
Well, thatโs exactly how a Search Engine Evaluator makes money!
They're the people that help massive search engine algorithms like Google, Bing, and Yahoo make sure they provide the correct items to us when we search things online.
So if you typed in "dog" and got a picture of me, well we know thatโs off, unless itโs spelled "dawg" ๐
Doesn't sound too hard right?
The best part - this job requires no experience to get going, all you need is a smart phone and personal computer.
Plus, itโs a work whenever you want job.
The only requirement is 10-15 hours a week so maybe this is you putting in 3 hours every night and skipping the Netflix or doing it in little chunks during your commute to and from work - completely up to you.
How to find these jobs?
There are plenty of listings out there but Iโll do you one better - you can use a website like Appen, that is always looking for people.
They have the best reviews and pay around $10 an hour, which from Reddit, is super variable.
Take this reddit user as an example:
So considering you can set your own schedule and work whenever and wherever you want with no experience, Iโd consider this a pretty good online gig to make extra money.
WANT TO START? HERE'S HOW:
1. Create a profile
When you first get into Appen, you'll make an account and create a profile.
They'll ask you things like:
What country you live in
What language you speak
How old you are
All the things they need to bucket you into a demographic when collecting their data.
You'll then be able to roll into step #2 and start selecting projects.
2. Apply to projects
The nice thing about Appen is they have many different projects on their job board including:
search evaluation
data collection
transcription
social media
linguistics
All you have to do is choose one that interests you and apply.
Once you do that it will ask you a few questions about yourself like "Name a time when you handled a conflict well at work."
This is because you're actually applying to real companies through Appen. They're just the middle man so answer these professionally so you're chosen for the task.
Pro Tip: Take the long-term projects instead of becoming an independent contractor. They'll give you a more consistent workflow and income.
3. Pass the exam
Step #3 is only for Search Engine Evaluator projects.
These pay the most but are also the most difficult, so they require some training.
I found on Appen a listing for a Map Search Evaluator - someone to ensure when people are typing in an address, it's taking them to the right location.
They're paying a $400 bonus if you're selected, $10 per hour with a required 15 hours per week, and a possibility for up to 40 hours per week if you want it.
Why are they giving you a fat bonus?
Because this job requires some work upfront - that isn't paid.
In order for you to become a Search Engine Evaluator, you must successfully complete an entrance exam that consists of:
theoretical questions (20)
practical questions (20 sets)
location based quiz (paid)
Now I won't lie to you guys, people on Reddit have said this test is hard and takes a couple days to study for but they've also said it's worth it if you're selected because the work isn't that hard and the pay is good.
It takes around 2 hours to complete and once you do, you won't have to do it for every project.
I've read on Reddit people making $1,000 a month and people making next to nothing. It's really what you make of it and how serious you take it.
