Remote data labeling
What platforms are there for this type of work that’s for real? The only one that I’ve actually had direct experience with, that actually accepted me and that I actually worked on for a while so far was Outlier.AI (Project Aether). I’m taking project for platforms. What’s that one that have the same type of level requirements and not a whole lot more. I’m also open to any other similar types of remote work options or platforms I can try and apply for, it can be Data Labelling, AI Generalist, Search Engine Evaluating, Audio Evaluation, Audio/Voice Recording, Typing, Writing tasks, voice/audio narration, data entry, email management/organization, virtual assistant, bookkeeping, or anything that’s of some sort of similar/relative in nature (preferably ones that you could say definitely have at least potential/possibility of earning like, REAL income doing, rather than just something like maybe a couple to a few dollars per day)!
