Ads Quality Rater ?

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am so so broke, and looking to pick up a second job. I applied for a job I found on Craigslist, and am in the enrollment process now. The company is ZeroChaos, and the position is 'Ads Quality Rater'. The client is Google, but I would not be working for Google.
It's work from home, you have to work between 10-30 hours/week. $15/hour. I believe you do internet research, rate search results, surveys, etc.

Has anyone ever done this? I can definitely contribute 10 hours/week, but not much more. But is that easier said than done? Is it in intense 10 hours, or a laid back 10 hours? Meaning, can I get some stuff done around the house while I'm 'working' or will I be glued to the computer for 10 hours (or 5 hours, twice, depending on how I want to break it up)?

This is my second job. It's fairly easy. The first few months they do monitor your performance fairly closely. "We need to see improvements in this area." Haven't heard anything about my performance in at least 6 months so I assume I'm doing fine. I would recommend it. It's boring but it brings in an extra $600 to $1000 so it's worth it for me.

I do this too. It's generally pretty boring and you can multitask depending on what you have in mind. The pp is correct that your performance is monitored at the beginning and you will be given feedback. The money isn't much, but enough to make it worthwhile especially considering the flexible hours and the fact that it is low stress.

OP here. Thank you for the responses! Did you guys do this on the weekends? at night? Were you already working a 40 hour job?

I just started the same job. I like the flexibility but find the work somewhat tedious. I try to squeeze in hours at night after everyone is asleep and find that the time passes very slowly. But it's great how you can spread the work out over 7 days. Some days I might only work 2 hours, but other days I work 6. They pay weekly. You turn in your time sheet Monday by 10 am, and your paycheck is direct deposited that same week on Friday. That's my favorite part about the job, and helps keep me motivated to try to push myself to work more hours.

chances every post above mine are from the same person?

Well, PP, I only replied once. (15:03). OP, I usually do 2 hours per day Monday through Friday. I squeeze in time here and there throughout the day, but try to do an hour in the morning and make up whatever remains at night while watching tv after dinner. I like to leave my weekends free whenever possible. I work part time (20 hours) and attend grad school full time and find the 10 hour minimum to be manageable.

I don't do it anymore, but I did the same thing for a different company--Leapforce. It was boring, but easy as long as you followed the directions very closely.

I used to do a similar job but on search quality. It was tedious but definitely a legit job. I didn't have a whole lot of "free time" during working if I was actively working on tasks because they do measure your time per task.

OP here. Thank you all for the responses. I currently work a 40 hour/week job, but add in commuting time and I'm gone about 50 hours. I just can't make ends meet so I'm thinking I will try and do this. You have to work at least 10 hours/week... that's the part I'm wondering about. It seems easy, but if there's a week where I just can't find the time - is there a penalty? Will they drop me?
I am hoping I can just try and do a few hours one night, then a few hours on the weekend.. maybe while I'm doing laundry or just lounging.

Do you go through zerochaos or another company?

I'm looking for extra cash and this sounds like a great job to work from home and do.

It's all done based on resume so I assume they are fairly selective given that is the only source of info on a candidate. I started about two weeks after I applied. No phone interview or tests given.
