How we make money
Short version: when you click an Apply link on this site and go on to sign up and complete paid work on the platform, we may earn a referral fee under that platform's current terms. That's the business model. No ads. No paid placement. No sponsored listings.
What the referral links are
We currently list Mercor and micro1 opportunities and use our personal referral links for applications and listing details. If a referred applicant qualifies and completes paid work, the platform may pay us a referral reward. Eligibility, amounts and limits follow each platform's current referral terms. Referral rewards are paid to us; they are not an applicant signup bonus.
What that means for our incentives
Because we only earn on qualified signups, we care more about the right person finding the right task than about pageview volume. We check original sources for open applications, pay and eligibility before listing a task. Sending people to platforms they don't qualify for is bad for everyone and pays us nothing.
How we keep listings honest
- We list only real sources where genuine tasks originate — not intermediary “re-matcher” sites that occupy the same slot we do.
- Editorial blurbs may include honest signal even when it's unflattering (e.g. “advertised rates can overstate typical earnings”). We'd rather be useful than maximally monetizable.
- Geographic eligibility is shown up front, not buried — most US- centric resources ignore non-US workers, and we don't.
- We do not accept payment from platforms to be listed, to be ranked higher, or to remove negative commentary.
What you can do if you want to support this
Use our apply links when you sign up. That's it. If you'd rather go directly, you can find the same opportunities on each platform's website. We'd still rather you find work than not.
