I work for Rev as a contractor and make about $350 per week working 6 hours per day. I've tried all of the other online WFH gigs and this one stands out. You're paid every Monday via PayPal. I've been with them for about 6 months and never had issues getting paid. Rev is fine, you can work as much as you want. It's great supplemental income.
The problem is the other contractors! If you go to the forums all they do is complain (which stops them from working). They believe they should be making a full, liveable wage on this part-time gig, it's ridiculous.
They bring the morale down and they run off new members with horror stories or bullying. I've never had an issue with Rev directly. The application process was easy and like I said, the monies paid were enough to make me happy and arrived like clockwork before noon EST every Monday.
Yes there are horrible files but you can choose what you want to do. I've done 30 minute files that paid over $1.00 per minute or files that were an hour and paid 50 cents per min because I loved the subject.
Rev has transcription, captioning and grading opportunities. But beware of the graders who are in a clique and think reviewing someone's work (and not even all of it, just small portions) is on the same stressful level as having to submit 30-90 minutes of perfection.
The only thing worse than the graders are those who review what the graders (aka their friends) have submitted after you dispute an unfair grade.
The forum is a cesspool and the same people claim they're leaving every week. They never do. They just want to scare off newbies so they can keep all of the jobs and money. Stay off of the forum, make a daily or weekly goal for yourself ($40/day or $200 a week for example), lay low and only make a fuss if something is wrong with your payments.
