I think there’s a trend right now everywhere to work on training AI—something that probably seems like a good job for us now but might end up being our downfall in the future. But unfortunately, in this world, we have to make do with what we have and adapt. As for me, I ended up taking this job, which everyone on social media paints as “easy”—making money doing the things you do every day at home. It really does work, and you can make some money, but it’s pretty exhausting and isn’t at all what they say: “What you do every day at home” ends up being you cleaning every day—but with backaches and the fear that you’re not recording the action properly, because if it’s not at the “right” angle, they might even ban your account.
The ones who really profit here are the owners of these platforms and those who have a lot of referrals. YES, there’s a referral system, and some people don’t even need to work because their referrals do all the work for them. I’ve seen absurd amounts of money that people with referrals earn each week—I can assure you it exceeds $500 a week. In my experience, I’ve worked and been paid “well,” but out of nowhere, I start getting flagged for errors in old videos where they don’t even specify exactly what I did wrong. Every day they get stricter, and people get more dishonest. What started as a way to make money by doing your daily house cleaning has turned into a headache and a constant feeling of being under pressure while recording, worrying that something will go wrong.
We also need to use a head-mounted phone holder, but it’s become IMPOSSIBLE to find one here in Venezuela since everyone snatches them up in seconds, and the few I’ve managed to find are way too expensive. I finally decided to order two from AliExpress, but they haven’t arrived yet, and I really don’t know when they’ll get here. For now, ever since I started, I’ve had to film using a makeshift mount—a strap—which is super uncomfortable, and every day I feel more and more hunched over.
It's not as easy as they say, especially when you think you're doing everything right and you make really long videos, only to have them flag an error or reject it in the end—and you just don't get paid for that video. So far, that hasn't happened to me, but I have received warnings, and even on videos where I can see there are no problems, they've flagged errors. It's pretty complicated, and you feel a lot of pressure even though you set your own schedule.
