Task Leaderboard
« on: June 15, 2019, 01:24:24 pm »
Gonna toot my own horn because I don't think this has ever happened in the last eight years!  I'm #10 on the Task Leaderboard!  And in fact, a thread on this forum led me to the task section to find a recommended task, and I ended up with so much more!

Hopefully this is a great incentive to keep you motivated to continue on.  Congratulations.  You are aloud to toot your horn all you want because you have worked hard and deserve it.   :silly:

I'll be checking on the ranking board to see how high you jump in the coming days and weeks.  I wish you the very best.   :)

Good Job,  I just wished I could do tasks.  I can't even get pass one of them.

WTG! If I may offer a little advice, on some to do regularly, the market research ones do not have quiz mode, pay 8 cents for doing all 4, and you really can't go wrong. I try to do them the way they ask, but sometimes I have to "fudge" a little to find what they are asking for. But even if you can't find the one they are looking for, put some link in that you do find, because you can't get them wrong. These are some of my main go to's for tasks, because it's always a given 8 cents. (If they pay 2 cents per). You can do 1, or do all 4, just make sure to click on the "give up" tab if you don't do all 4. Actually, that goes for any tasks, ALWAYS click on the give up button if you decide you don't want to do it, don't just close the window.  :)

Oh, and also, there is (or was) a 30 cent task that is actually a survey and another task that pays over $2 on just typing out sentences I think. Been awhile since I did it, but it was pretty easy. However, I remember the timer got pretty low towards the end and I really had to go fast to finish in time. I hate the timers sometimes! In my opinion, Figure 8 is not doing NEAR as good of a job as Crowdflower did. And I have voiced this to them in tickets I have sent them, but so far there's been no improvement.  :(

Seriously, I have no idea what Tim is doing to earn so much!! Wish I knew his secret! I'm thinking some of it might be bonuses you get on some of the tasks, but idk for sure. Kudos to him though!

Awesome, signed up for tasks a month ago and none have been available to me yet.
So do you mean when you click on the tasks tab, nothing comes up? Because you don't have to be signed in to browse them, only to work on them. I assumed the ones I see are pretty much available for everyone to see. I can't seem to get past a "1" rating, I was almost a 3 when it was Crowdflower doing them, but with Figure 8, I'm going nowhere fast, because so many of them are either messed up, or I fail quiz mode with no explanation too many times. I hate quiz mode!

I do sign in but the only thing available is level 3 which I don"t qualify for.

Actually, that's awesome that you bumped me off the board! Way to go figuring out "tasks."  I'm with tuffys_daughtr in wondering how timvolley made it to $37.  It takes special brain skills to understand most of these tasks!

Thanks for the awesome tip.  I decided to take you up on your recommendation and found the market research tasks.  My first attempt timed out because I had to go through the learning curve!  Once I finally got acquainted with what I was doing, it went smoothly.  I really appreciate your tip about "fudging."  I did have to fudge a little.  The search was for "tips and tools" and all I could find was "tips and tricks".  I gave it a try and it worked.  BTW, I got to redo the one where I'd timed out, so I got all four!

That tip may work, but personally I won't use it and take a chance at losing my level or being terminated at some point. If I can't find exactly what they are asking for, I just click Give Up and live to play another day. These Tasks are sometimes the only way I can get my 5 cents and I like being at Level 3.
