What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $550–$1,050 and 20 hours about $1,100–$2,100 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
50 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials
The listing asks for 5+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.

This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.

  • A portfolio usually matters. Keep a short link to your best work ready.
  • Give specific, actionable critique of AI output: what is off and how to fix it.
  • Follow the brief and style references exactly. Consistency is graded.
