How it Works
AI TrainingHow AI Training Works
1. Sign Up With AI Training Platforms
Begin by creating accounts on multiple platforms like UHRS (via Clickworker), Appen Connect, Scale AI, and Toloka. Each platform requires identity verification, profile setup, and sometimes qualification tests to assess your basic skills. Having accounts on 4-5 platforms ensures you'll always have work options available.
2. Qualify For Specific Task Types
Before accessing paid work, you'll need to complete qualification tests for specific project types. These tests evaluate your ability to follow detailed guidelines and produce accurate results. Each task type (image labeling, content moderation, AI evaluation) has its own qualification process. Higher-paying tasks typically have more rigorous qualification requirements.
3. Complete Microtasks In Batches
Once qualified, you'll access task batches containing dozens or hundreds of similar items. These might include categorizing text, labeling objects in images, or evaluating AI responses. You'll work through these batches at your own pace, with each task taking anywhere from seconds to minutes depending on complexity. Payment is typically per-task, with rates varying by difficulty and specialization.
4. Maintain Quality Scores
Platforms continuously monitor your accuracy through "gold standard" tasks (pre-answered questions mixed into your work). Maintaining high quality scores (typically 85-95%) is essential for keeping access to tasks and qualifying for higher-paying opportunities. Most platforms provide feedback on your accuracy and may temporarily restrict access if your quality drops below thresholds.
5. Receive Payment On Platform Schedules
Earnings accumulate as you complete tasks and are paid according to each platform's schedule—weekly (Scale AI, Clickworker), bi-weekly (UHRS), or monthly (Appen). Most platforms use PayPal, Payoneer, or direct deposit with minimum payout thresholds ranging from $5-50. As you gain experience, you can progress to more specialized, higher-paying task types or even team leadership roles.
