I got an email of a supposed representative from this company offering me a remote position, but so far I feel something is off. First the person emailed me and asked me for a number to text despite me wanting to chat via email, but its whatever. Second, I looked online and barely found anything about the company, only thing I found was a facebook account that was not that convincing to me. Third, the guy said the pay was $30 per hour for a data entry position which feels a bit too high. Has anyone heard or worked for this company before?

Edit: Thajks everyone for the comments. Got a call from the dude to join a virtual "interview", it was a pre-recorded video to work for an MLM for sales.

I'm mostly just looking for something to get me some extra cash as a side job. I'm not going for any major careers or trying to turn it into my main source of income (not that it can't if the opportunity arises. I am all for branching out and gaining new and real experience) My main job is starting to not cut it with just paying off my bills, let alone being able to save for big expenses (car maintenance, emergency fund, just a general cushion for something sudden)

I already have a very technical full-time job. Data entry and some administrative work is pretty much all I do besides some physical work, so I have pretty good experience with that side of things and I don't think I'd have much trouble getting the hang of things in that regard.

Transcription may also be a good from what I have seen. At least easy to get into, I guess, but I have no real experience in that. I haven't tested myself in a while, but my typing speed is pretty good which may help, but idrk.

I just don't know where to look or where to even start. Should I take some courses or tests to see if I could even do it? Is there anything financially I need to be aware of? If anyone has any suggestions or just general knowledge of what to do or where to start, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone!

I recently applied for a remote Audio Transcription Specialist (Italian language) position at TSMG (Terry Soot Management Group).

Today, I received an email from a recruiter using the company's domain (@tsmg.io), asking some preliminary questions about my experience, availability, English level, and preferred payment method. (here the mail: https://imgur.com/a/8du9CVQ)

Before proceeding, I'd love to hear from anyone who has actually worked with them.

I have a few questions:

• Is TSMG a reliable company? Do they actually pay their freelancers?
• How much can you realistically earn from transcription projects?
• What was the recruitment process like?
• Has anyone received payments directly into a regular bank account using an IBAN (SEPA transfer), without needing Wise or Revolut?
• The recruiter also mentioned "Yetsy certificates" as a possible payment method. Does anyone know what this means? I've never heard of it before.
• Have you experienced any issues with payments, rejected tasks, or unexpected requirements?

I'm mainly looking for firsthand experiences, especially from people based in Europe or working on transcription projects.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I want to find an online job but idk how to apply. I also want to know if the company I'm applying is legit. Plss help

Received an email from no-reply@hire.eu.lever.co saying they are Lionbridge contacting me from a recent time I applied to them and offering me a English (US) Voice Recording Opportunity for 15/hr.

Just curious if anyone has similar emails &/ is it a scam? Thanks.

I have been unable to login to SRW for going on week 3. a ticket has been opened and they can’t even figure it out. I can’t get anymore to call me as they say the will!, this is so frustrating

Sagility have had many non-phone job postings, but whenever I click apply on them, I get redirected to another page that says Please proceed with this application link only if you are seeking Contact Center Associate Role opportunities. It then asks me to apply to a customer service job on the phone instead.

I have literally had this with every non-phone job of theirs I have tried applying to. Is this typical for them? Why do they post new jobs that keep rerouting to others? I am getting so frustrated.

I’ve seen Wise recommended a lot whenever freelancers talk about getting paid by international clients.

But I’m curious, are people still sticking with Wise, or have you found something that works better for your situation?

For me, the important things are simple: reasonable fees, a fair exchange rate, and not having to jump through too many hoops whenever i receive a payment.

Would be interesting to hear what everyone is actually using.

i am currently studying computer science and i am scared i have nothing to show for when i eventually look for a job after graduation. so i thought i could try getting some leverage by already getting some workplace experience while earning extra cash i need as i live alone. my schedule keeps my days packed so i’ve been surfing through remote and part time data entry jobs that i could fit into the gaps of my day. but i realize i know nothing and am not even sure what i should be looking for, so i’m here for advice. the only coding experience i have are from class activities and projects where python, sql, java, power bi, and excel are the ones i might be confident enough in, but even for those i’m not good but not terrible. what kind of jobs should i look for? and where?

I desperately need help for this. I've retried it maybe 13 or more times, to the point I've seen almost every question and gotten them all right. I've reread the rules I don't even know how many times... But I keep failing the last "Edit The Transcript" question. I've tried everything I could think of. I will actually pay someone to help me with this. Please.
It's probably an issue with punctuation... I normally try to use punctuation in a way that sounds closest to how the speaker speaks, but that's apparently not always grammatically correct, and it seems TranscribeMe values that over the way it reads.
Either that or the way e-trans is written. I looked it up, but apparently it can be written either way. I know there's a rule about how you write email, so there may be a rule about this as well...

Has anyone worked here? Is it legit?

Test wage. Has anyone did any work or missions for them? Were you payed?

I plan to pivot from working a full time job I hate to working part time in hopes to allow more free time to learn skills that will help me work for myself. What skills should I learn in 2026 to freelance out some work? Right now I’m interested in social media management or marketing!

Hi all, so as the title says i applied and got “accepted” to WrkWrk and have signed up for my first shift. I haven’t really seen any posts at all about this app on reddit before so I jsut wanted to see if anyone on here has used the app before etc Ik like every place you go to is different with different employers but any like advice, tips or even share your thoughts on the app or the experience would be appreciated , as this is my first time doing gig work ( although i have had jobs before though). Also do they need to check ID or anything when i get there ?. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for something that can earn me some extra money to spend on myself. I just finished high school and trying to be a independent. Any small type of jobs that can be learned in a month would do. I was considering doing data entry or similar type of work. Or maybe some blog writing related jobs. Are these options viable? I'm not very creative person. So design related jobs wouldn't be possible for me I believe. Honestly, any job with an hourly rate of 5-10£ or more would do

Anyone here with experience as a transcriber at Online Helpers? Any insights from training and the work itself? How is the work environment here?

Ive been seeing posts about OH but most of it are from AI Trainer department. Not much from Transcribers.

Got curious cause theyre hiring. Hoping someone can give an insight.
Thanks!

Specifically, I’m looking for remote jobs in finance/accounting, more specifically bookkeeping. I’m currently finishing my degree in Accounting and would love to hear from people who have experience working remotely for companies in the US or Europe.

Are there any websites, companies, or platforms you’d recommend for finding these kinds of jobs? Is it actually realistic/tangible to land a remote bookkeeping position from South America?

Any advice on where to look, what skills/certifications I should focus on, or how to get started would be greatly appreciated!

Not looking to be an online tutor but I can do the actual math problems.

Does anyone have any experience with INFOCISION? I just got an offer..it’s low pay but I just need something to bring in any income right now.

Hey! I’m from Nepal, and I’m currently 16. I’ll be turning 17 in about two months.

I recently saw one of my friends working at a cosmetics shop to earn some money, and it made me want to start earning a little on my own as well. However, my parents don’t allow me to work outside, so I’m thinking about finding something I can do online from home.

Are there any safe, legal, and secure online jobs or small ways for someone my age to earn a little money? I’m not looking to make a lot, just something genuine that I can do in my free time without getting scammed.

I just recieved a message from a recruiter on linkedin asking if I was interested in a job at oneforma, but from what I’ve read online the reviews are mixed. Does anyone have some experience with them? Is it worth putting time and effort into?

I started going to school for medical transcription just before ai got stupid big like it is. I have been looking for a transcription job of any kind since June. I know that work is sparse, and that many people are looking for work right now. I just feel so defeated that I picked something I'm actually interested in and now I can't find work. I have even been applying to call centers because I just need a job.

I have applied to between 2-10 jobs a day ( by the end of the month most of the jobs listed I've applied to. ) and I keep getting rejection letters or radio silence.

If anyone has any job suggestions I'm all ears.

I've been looking at micro1's job board for 2 specific postings: Video Annotation Specialist, Generalist. postings claiming 10,000 openings each, $50-90/hr, remote, contractor, explicitly stating no prior AI experience needed. A few things don't add up, some people i know have shared the same issue.

Personal experience: myself and several people I know applied to both of these "no experience required" roles. We all actually have prior experience in data labeling/annotation work, and by our own assessment the AI interviews went well. Despite that, within about 2 days every single one of us got a "did not qualify" rejection for a role that, again, explicitly didn't require any experience in the first place. I'm not saying micro1 does zero real work, there are people with verified paid task history on the platform (inlcuding me for the AI Facial Data Collection Contributor role - 140$).

The uniform rejections of experienced people who felt they interviewed well, and the pattern others describe, it really looks like the interview itself might be the actual product here.

Has anyone else applied and hit the same wall? Curious how common this actually is and whether anyone has gotten accepted, onboarded with actual proof, not just replies or posts with nothing to back it up.

I'm considering learning German up to C1 over the next 2–3 years and eventually teaching German in India, initially through private/online classes.

For people familiar with the field:

How strong is the demand for German teachers in India?

Is there good scope for private/online tutoring?

Would C1 be enough to start teaching beginners?

I'd especially appreciate answers from German teachers, tutors, institutes, or students who have taken German classes in India.

I’ve been on Wyzant for a while now building up my tutoring business alongside teaching. I really enjoy it as a side job, and the extra income would genuinely help with bills, so I’d like to make it work better than it currently is.

I have a 5-star review, a reasonable rate ($30/hr for online), and I apply to a good number of job postings every week, but I’m noticing a pattern that’s making it hard to actually land students:

**•** A huge chunk of “jobs” are requesting in-person tutoring in cities nowhere near me (Texas, Georgia, Ohio, California, South Carolina — I’m in NY). I end up pitching online as an alternative every time, which feels like starting from a “no” before I even begin.  
**•** Some leads don’t even have billing info on file, which makes me wonder how serious they are.  
**•** A lot of requests are outside my subject area (RD/dietetics grad coursework, respiratory therapy capstones) so I have to skip those entirely.  
**•** Even the ones that are a good fit — right subject, right location, willing to go online — I’m not hearing back after a solid application message.

Is this just the nature of the platform (lots of noise, low response rate), or is there something I should be doing differently with how I apply? Any tips from tutors who’ve had better luck getting clients — on Wyzant or elsewhere — would be really appreciated. Trying to figure out what’s actually working these days.
