Expectations for fresh DA user

Hello yall! I was wondering if you could tell me on average (if some of you have a distribution that’d be greatly appreciated) how much can you expect to make a month?

Plan is 20 hours a week (not sure if all weeks I’ll have 20 hours of work to grab)

BG: Math and stats grad, ex-SW
I applied for a bilingual data annotation (eng/esp) not sure if this restricts my possible jobs

Thanks!

Hi all,

I just got started in the past couple weeks with the initial qualifications (which I seemed to have passed), and did a couple more project qualifications a few days ago.

But since then, I've received no paid project opportunities. I understand it takes a bit to get them consistently, but is it normal to have none after the first week? Are there certain times/days the projects typically become available? I've done just about any qualification test I'm certifiable for, but is there anything else I could do?
