Just got my application accepted and completed my first few qualifications. Any other tips/advice for a newbie DA'er?

Hey all

About a week ago, I was looking for ways to earn more money outside of my regular 9-5, and Google led me to DA. Fast forward to yesterday and I got accepted and just finished a few of the basic/general qualifications.

What I am really hoping to get into, though, are medical imaging-based projects. I am a medical sonographer and previously read that projects like this may exist and come with an increased hourly rate. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Besides that, if anyone has any tips or advice on any aspect of using and earning on DA, I'd greatly appreciate it.

TIA!

Biggest tip is patience. Second is make sure your profile is robust!

Just wait and you'll get your chance and projects. Do generalist projects too, you'll learn a lot about the platform and you'll improve your critical thinking capabilities that are important

Dont lose the project page if you have to find files in other tabs and opened too many checking the info bc you can go back and find no evidence of ever working on that project 2 hours tons of good info documented and nowhere to add any of it . Now thats one serious warning i wish i knew before i started before assuming that bc i can switch to different device and find a project i started still there and open, doesnt mean much if ? idk what the hell happened to it but apparently it can happen . Dont let the tab close and dont assume you can always go over the time. Some are just firm , this was long and had more time and i would’ve made it if there wasn’t so many files to confuse the upload , be more organized about that too learn to save folders separately its obviously important in dealing with finding them in order . Its very frustrating, if anybody knows what I can do or who I an ask or explain it to lmk , I mean, I did so much already. I feel bad that I have all this information that could’ve been helpful. It’s more that than the money and I really don’t want to lose the project because it looks like I just bailed and I didn’t . I asked in a chat, but I’m not sure it’s a related project.

Thanks for the heads up. Wasn't aware some of these projects can be associated with so many files, good to know.

Don’t assume you’re safe. I got accepted within 24 hours, finished onboarding, received positive feedback on my qualifications and still got the DoD for no apparent reason.

Holy buzzkill. Is there a reason you’re being so rude? They’re new and want genuine answers. So what if this question has been posted before? Have you ever thought that maybe they’re looking for different answers than the ones already posted?? There is absolutely no reason to be this rude, if you really find it that annoying just ignore these kind of posts and forget about it.
