I see this thread has been around since 2014..

brijibs:
Hello, guys. I just joined freelancer. com. After setting up my profile and all, I was contacted by an Indian to mail him for project details. I sent the mail, only to receive this.

Please advice on how I should proceed.

Valwezzy:
Please, is there a minimum amount QA send to ones PAYPAL account and is the payment of your earnings automatically sent to you your PAYPAL or you need to request for it?

Thraedz:
How do you hope to get a mail from PayPal when the email isn't linked to any PayPal account? I like your optimism. It was stated clearly that you need a PayPal account before beginning to work.

Well, create one now and link it to the email you're using for payment information. Then, reach out to the SCCs about your situation.

SpongeBobSP:
Yeah, true that.
This thing just takes hardwork and basically learning from your mistakes, been at it for 1 month+ now and I can almost certainly say I can't get a 1 or 2 rating on my work these days.
Clocked 230 mins last week.
My first week was rough though

Fejos:
My bosses in the house.. Abeg Na which app una dey use for transcription?

generationz:
Don't mind them.

Qa money is the easiest money in naija right now.


Even easier than scam and prostitution if you have your dignity.

Prenom:
Wow!

Thanks to all my bosses on this platform, I'm grateful!
Hausareturns, drawobet, samsard, nwafresh, bribis, biritiko, odizeey, generationz... Cant remember all the names right now....and everyone! But I used to read all your invaluable comments in here. Thanks guys! I'm grateful!

TechCapon:

What you don't know Is that not everyone can have financial freedom , sorry to say but it's true. There will always be a thin margin between the haves and have not according to that yeye theory wether nah Marxist. I never said it's impossible to make money on QA. My first week of learning as I fail I made only $9.77. which is obvious proof that more can be made, I am only making people know it's not an easy road, this is not a get rich quick scheme. Aunty and brother reading this it is difficult, if I upload my screenshot u will see as 1111111 full my report card. Don't think you will join and start making 30k a month. It takes time and dedication, stubbornness and comprehension of grammar.

PattyMike:
Thier 3k sef nah Mokland hotel I dey go straight for Friday chop fish 1,500 with 3 or 4 very chilled bottle of Honorable.

PattyMike:
Nooo I'm in sambisa shekau street, I'm not in this country because u know wetin my eyes see for salary work and CVs before I got to do freelance.

PattyMike:
Cofidence is often mistaken as arrogance, u were just here bragging about how u made 54$ last week pls that is what o? Arrugunt?

PattyMike:
The people applying for 15k jobs, can they honestly transcribe? Be honest with yourself, my problem you are all making it sound so easy and perfect but it's not. There are so many variables involved, state that and then we're good.

PattyMike:
My brother that is not hard working that is slavery , how many hours and hours of fails and data before u reach stage of 80$ , is it constant? Can people actually maintain that 80$ or more every week, u go just die on top your lap top. I'm not discouraging it, it is actually a cool thing to do for some extra cash. The economy is bad but no let the economy bad kill you, u go just die because you wan make 30k a week. Abeg deduct cost of data o pls data. That pls 50÷0.20 is how minutes somebody pls check. That is how many minutes you will transcribe perfectly, perfectly o to meet that landmark. Better don't kill yourself and blind your eye. God go help us search the internet there are many people with problems waiting to be solved. I have found my own, go and find yours.

PattyMike:
This is another example of someone not minding his or business, you made 18k last week clap for yourself sir or ma, don't sugar coat it let people it is stressful and takes a lot of dedication and time plus data and hours behind a computer screen/phone screen which can damage the eyes, what I'm saying is that the juice is not necessarily worth the squeeze pls I say only facts go and check the pay rates on TranscribeMe.com and then come back here don't give people fallacy. Bros de Bros I can cover my tracks very very well, which dumb fool uses VPN for PayPal haha, VPN is just to change your location to access websites or see files that are restricted to where you are. I use incognito and location spoofers, I have Rdp and several socks, I always clear my cache after browsing everyday and never save my password, I always cover my webcam in case a rat enters my PC and tries to on my webcam to capture my face , I have anti keyloggers I update everyday, I am also a social media handler(a german friend of mine dashed me 2 professional online course he bought from Jason Capital $1,500 for each)and i am also a Web Realtor. I know all these things and still yet I do the right thing and abstain from fraud, me wey I dey do legit I no daft nah. so from somewhere one person is taking what I said out of context nah man I won't take that and u should criticize constructively by making corrections and making valuable additions not coming at me, no fam! I'll clap back if anyone comes at me.

I know how frustrating it is to get rated 1 or 2. I used to feel bad too like I was being ripped off. Like someone said, QA will make you question your education.
However, in due time my ratings picked up. I only work after my day job, and on weekends. And, I get up to $45 weekly.
We're not saying it's excellent, but in my own case, it's very helpful. I don't see why I can't get $80 if I decide to do it full time.
I'll only advice anyone being discouraged by low ratings to see it as a learning curve. Keep failing, eventually you'll understand everything they expect of you. They have clients to satisfy, so your transcript should also meet their standard.

PattyMike:
To anyone thinking of doing this here are things you need to know from an unbiased View based on what I've observed for a week old Newbie like myself.
1. There are other Transcription websites that pay higher than QA, make Google your best friend.
2. QA guidelines is rigid for example even if you spelling, sentence structure and Grammer was perfect is you mistakenly mislabel Rep for speaker or vice versa that is automatic 1/5 meaning zero payment if u like spend 15 hours on it.
B)if you put full stop or comma wrongly that's a minus mark.
C)Always capitalize first letter of names or company name e.g Lion Finance not lion finance, CLH Group not clh group not CLH group.
3. Don't assume a 3 minutes call means you will finish under that 3 mins it's impossible because you will have to proof read and re listen again to make corrections.
4. If you can't hear well or you don't like then use release call and pick another.
5. Honestly the pay is not worth the stress believe me it is not as easy as those on hear make it seem like. When I started I will transcribe on a 3 mins call I will start at 12:45 am before I look time it's already 2:30 am because you have to make it perfect by cross checking or else you will score 2/5.
6. There are other ways to make money online not just transcribing. U can get paid to survey a website, I did it for $5 per survey, you can proof read, Copy write, you can ghost write, you can even teach English online but you need a computer, Skype account and fast internet (make the video call no go dey hang) that teaching English is for native English speakers you register on the website and when you're hired. The website is like a school and you will be given a syllabus to teach them with, you can earn an average of $1,150 depending on the hours you work. I am currently on a project as a copy writer , they hired me via freelancer.com , if you can speak another language besides English it's even more fantastic.
7. The Pay is not just worth it when you include costs (data, light or like me fuel cus light no reliable for my area.) I buy data like who wan die and spent at least 8-10 hours daily , what is 10 hours I no even add the midnight sub wey I dey use do am again till five. I got a lot of 1 and 2s sometimes I would edit calls for 4-5 hours and score 3 and less but it was all learning process and I was able to later score 4 and 3s , I have not scored a 5 yet. All I was able to make in my first week was $9.77 which is about 3,000, if I commot sub money and fuel my brother I still run loss.
8. You can do it but let it not be your primary source of living until at least you are scoring 4s and 5s shere shere.
9. Try TranscribeMe but the exam is difficult but I aced the objective and recording 1, now e remain two and three.
10. Transcribeme will pay you according to your proffessional level meaning you start as a beginner and can earn a maximum that maximum of $1,200-$1,300. The next level will earn I think $1,900 and the final level earns as high as $3,400, You must write and pass exams to move to the next level cus that is the only way to get a promotion.
11. To transcribe you must understand accents , if you cannot and want to quickly remedy this then go and buy american season films lots of them and binge watch it, try to hear what they see and how they pronounce it don't read the subtitle olodo. Watch American or british talk shows listen and try to decipher what they say, try to talk like them every once in a while, it's not difficult or special it's just practice. Transcribeme is good for me cus they will only give me work in American accent cus that's what I choose..

I might be missing more but anyone with suggestions can add or criticize constructively.

Lastly almost forgot , you can install grammarly it will assist in pointing out those minor errors you might overlook.
