Humanatic Challenge Review

 Hey Hey Hey!  Oh boy, oh boy! What a week. I did okay but honestly I failed at this challenge. Let's talk about where things went wrong!  First I did not stick to the schedule I set for myself. A big nope! If I had done so, I could have easily reviewed 200 calls each day. Instead we had a family vacation during this time, a home reset and three days of flu.   But I digress. Overall I did a few calls each day. I can see where the potential to do this as a money maker is there. Many people are making $40-60 per DAY and the cashout minimum is $20 per week.   I have thought out a better strategy. I will simply pick one category and not stop reviewing calls unless I need a bathroom break or food/drink. It is a lack of discipline on my part. This error of ways WILL be corrected for the next time I try this challenge.

Is Loyalty Over-Rated?

 Hey Hey Hey  It seems more and more as time has gone by this year, people have been abruptly let go from their positions. These are not cases of deserved complaints against the agent. Rather I have seen vague remarks about things not being a good fit or the call is handled one way that follows the knowledge base but the company/client decided to handle it another way-without updating the information.  It disheartens me to see this happen to people I network with in the various social media platforms. I am very tense at times over the lack of opportunities out there, particularly for the 1099 crowd. Among the major platforms, I have seen fewer and fewer opportunities. IC-ers have to cast a wider and wider net to find contracts to service.   Even among the employee crowd, many companies that otherwise were fully remote and dependable have turned to hybrid/onsite or a type of churn and burn. However not all of the blame goes to the company.   Some - but not a...

Is the Second One Better?

 Hey Hey Hey! I have finished my second manuscript (a serious one). Usually my written stuff is 10-40K in word length. These last two stories have been 70k+ in length. It is both very very scary and exciting to go with a traditional publisher (if I get accepted!). I have 8 more weeks before I hear a response back from my first manuscript.  Cross your fingers!

When Failure Hits - Part One

 Hey Hey Hey!     It is a horrible feeling to not succeed at something. Even worse when it is online. Health took a turn for the worse in the past couple of days. :(     I won't make the 1000 calls but I did work on it. I definitely feel that Humanatic is a work in progress. I am good at one category of calls.      But today's failure is about Preply. I simply cannot reconcile me giving free lessons in the HOPES of getting a paid student. I understand it allows the student to find a tutor but those lessons are often one hour long.      Gotta bow out of that one!

2000 Plus Submissions

 Hey Hey Hey!     If there is one thing that I have learned over my year at Prolific...do not do every survey. This seems counterintuitive to making money but it wears out your welcome. I find that doing X number of surveys per day works out well for me. I rarely have a day without studies to do except on the weekends.      I set out to do the minimum. I cash out Mon through Friday at 6 dollars per day. I also do Cloud Connect and cash out there at 5 dollars per day. So I make $11 per day times 5 days which nets me $55 per week or $220 per month doing a few surveys while I work on other stuff.      Not a bad take home nest egg starter.

The 1000 Humanatic Call Challenge

 Hey Hey Hey From 6/16/2025 until 6/21/2025, I will attempt to make 1,000 call reviews on the Humanatic site. Humanatic is a website where you get paid to review calls. Pay varies by call type and length. I am physically writing down marks for each call reviewed so that I keep track of it myself.  Can I do it? Comment below!
