I ran across this company - don't remember how - but I would like to check and see if they are legit or a scam. They operate under the name of OnDemand Studios and the web address is www.expertvillage. They are looking for transcribers for short videos and pay 1 cent for every two words you type from these videos. If you need addl information - please email or whiteboard me.
This is a new listing so we do not have much information. We've tried to verify as much as we can but we were unable to find anyone who has been hired yet.
So far it looks 'ok' but I would love to see some feedback from job seekers who have completed the interview process or who are currently working with this organization.
If I discover something - anything, good or bad - I will let you know here.
I was hired by them and did some work last week - pay day is supposedly Friday but we'll see if they actually pay. I just did not want to spend too much time typing if we knew there are problems with them. I'll let you know what happens - they oew me about $6.00, but that was for about an hours work and I did not want to continue if they were a known scam. Thanks for the update.
Well - It's Friday and I have been paid as promised. It was a small amount, but I did a small amount of work. I was paid as agreed. I will continue with this company and do more work to see if they continue to pay.
I did some work for them this week and was paid today through Paypal. I didn't do much, just in case, but since I've been paid I plan to transcribe some more. It's an easy site to work through.
Hello, Demand Studios paid me $13.00 to my paypal account. It was after 2 hours of work. If you do not complete the clip or it is not done properly it will be rejected and you will not be paid for it. Also dont save until you finish the script because if you save it before the script is completed you can not go back to it. I went to expertvillage.com and looked at other people transcripts. It helped me figure out how they wanted the clip transcribed.
