Yes, you can make money working from home and earn up to $25 per hour working as an internet analyst!
Being able to make money from home or from anywhere in the world has been one of my dreams for a while.
Working as an Internet Analyst, also called Web Search Evaluator, is one way I found that truly works and that makes me a steady income each month (it still fluctuates but that’s usually with every online job).
The best thing is that everybody can do it.
All you need to start is:
- a laptop or computer
- a working internet connection
- enthusiasm
If you’re reading this you probably already have all of these.
But what does an internet analyst do?
As a matter of fact there are various different projects a web search evaluator can work on. Some are short simple surveys, others are on-going projects that last for months or longer.
The projects can range from improving social media and AI solutions, rating search engine results to transcription and translation (for some linguistic projects you’ll need a college degree).
The pay rate depends on the company and your location but it can range from 15$ up to $25 per hour.
How to get started:
There are a few companies that offer internet analyst work from home opportunities.
The company I work with is called Appen. Another popular company is Lionbridge but I don’t have any experience working with them. If you’re first starting it can’t hurt to apply to both.
Applying to Appen is pretty easy. You can sign up through this link (I will receive a little commission if you do and only if you are paid for at least 150 hours of work).
You’ll have to submit your country of residence, what languages you speak and your resume/CV. Additionally you need to answer a few questions about your education and prior experience. But don’t worry, you don’t have to have any experience to get accepted.
Getting approved can take a few days but once you are accepted you can apply to available projects. You probably won’t be accepted to every project and usually you have to pass a qualification quiz before starting to work. But if you carefully read the guidelines you will have no problems.
Some times there aren’t many projects available so you will have to wait and check back again frequently. You can apply to and work on as many projects as you want.
The best projects are the long-term ones. They provide new data to analyze every month so you don’t have to look out for a new project all the time. You might not get a long-term project right from the start but keep applying to projects and you’ll come across one or two.
The short-term projects are also great but usually there’s work available for a few months only. So apply and try to work for a few projects so you’ll still have work when one suddenly ends.
How much can you expect to earn?
Since there is no official published information on how much search engine evaluators can make, it can only be guessed based on anecdotal evidence.
The raters have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which means workers aren’t allowed to reveal exactly how much they make.
In general you could expect to make about $15 per hour but the pay rate can depend on your country of residence and the project.
The available hours you can work also depend on the project but the more hours of work you put in the more you can earn.
Getting Paid
The payout is monthly and you need to have a Payoneer or PayPal account linked. The money for the last month usually arrives in the middle of the current month.
In all my time working as an internet analyst for Appen I never had problems with getting paid. Therefore I can confirm that this company is legit and provides a great way to make money from home.
