What makes me laugh about Cloud Crowd is that their “How It Works” page contains simple spelling and grammatical mistakes. Kind of ironic for a site offering writing and editing work.
Two examples: “Obtaining credentials allows your to access …”
“If you’re work is Reviewer Corrected …”
There may be more elsewhere on the site.
Not reassuring.

Jendo:

I had a similar experience on Craigslist, although not with CloudCrowd. I think what they try to do is send a lot of responses to people so that we write articles for free. They tell you they like your writing and then you don’t hear from them. Why do they use only first names and no last names? Then you see on Craig’s List, they just posted another ad for “Freelance Writer.” We need to be careful.

Thanks for sharing your experience. That’s some great advice. The feedback was getting very one sided so I’m happy to hear you’ve had a good experience.

I’m making extra cash through Cloudcrowd. From August 1 to August 15, I made about $120 editing documents. The key here is to follow the instructions and skip those tasks that are too difficult or ambiguous. I’ve had a few tasks that got rejected but it won’t discourage me. I always make sure that my work is perfect. There are higher paying tasks such as writing health articles but I avoid them since I’m not confident enough that my work will pass their standards, but I’m really good at editing and proofreading that’s why I’m able to make money from this site.

It is a scam, specially for Professional Translators. CloudCrowd gives a different test for each applicant. Think, a test of 600 words more or less multiplied by thousands of applicants that finally fail because they missed a space or something ridiculously unimportant? It is a nice way to get free translations!

Yeah ill provide feedback to this. They are definitely a waste of time, since they love putting people on probation for ONE mistake. Then when you email them and try to get an answer, forget it, they send a automatic email resonse saying they will get back to you in 48 hrs, I still haven’t heard anything and its been days since i wrote. The management team is less than organized or responsive, they have NO customer service what so ever. I think they need to do alot of how can we improve work before having the site open. Its just a big rip off to me.
