Appen – Get paid to Use Social Media

Have you seen an advertisement online where you can make $25 per hour as a social media manager assisting Big companies with their social media profiles?  Have you ever wondered if these opportunities are really legit?

While most of these so-called social media work-at-home jobs are scams especially if you have to come up with an upfront fee, there are some that are legit.  In fact, I will give you details about one job that is currently hiring people to do just this from home.

You have probably heard me talk about Appen, at one time or another on this blog, or on my official YouTube channel.  In the last few years, Appen and its work-at-home program have gained considerable popularity.  One of the reasons for this is that they have non-phone part-time work-at-home jobs that do not require previous experience with decent hourly pay.

Appen has been in operation for roughly 16 years which speaks volumes for any company, let alone a work-at-home employer.  Taking advantage of an opportunity such as this can earn some money on the side.  In some situations, Appen will pay workers up to $15.00 per hour.  However, keep in mind pay will be based on related experience.   Here are some other reasons you should consider Appen.

Appen has at least 100 work-at-home positions that need to be filled in various departments including Web Search Evaluators, and Voice Data Collection where you will use your voice in-vehicle speech recognition, Translation, crowd-sourcing, and more.  Appen currently has a new, hot opportunity for those who are daily users of social media to work from home as social media evaluators.  Appen is always seeking social media evaluators.

What will I need to work from home as a social media evaluator? 

This unique opportunity allows social media users of all ages a chance to work from home as an independent contractor to help improve the news feed of a global social media client.  All that is required from each candidate is to have a computer that is less than 3 years old, be a daily social media user of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc. have the ability to follow directions, be fluent in verbal and written English, have fast Internet and can install basic applications.

What is the application process like? 

There is an application process that is necessary if you wish to work for Appen.  Because they do not require you to submit a resume, you will be asked to take an assessment test so they can assess your skills and place you in the right position.  This may involve grammar, spelling, and other areas.

What kind of workers is Appen looking for?

The company would like to have candidates with up to two years of college but it depends on the job/assignment that you are applying for and this is not a requirement only a preference.  Appen looks for individuals who pay specific attention to detail which is also a plus if you are hired to conduct extensive Internet research for certain assignments.
