Opaque Onboarding + NTA Droughts
Workers report unclear qualification criteria ("Why did I fail?") and frequent NTA (No Tasks Available) periods lasting days. The platform doesn't communicate why tasks disappear.
Do
- +Submit WAV format audio samples (MP3 gets rejected)
- +Record in a sealed, quiet room — 15cm from mic
- +Read scripts naturally (too robotic = lower scores)
- +Check Discourse Q&A daily for scoring criteria updates
- +Attend all webinars — new projects announced there first
Don't
- -Wait passively during NTA — switch to another platform
- -Ignore feedback on low-scoring submissions
- -Skip domain onboarding tests — each one unlocks more projects
- -Rely on Outlier as your only income source
