My agent applied for data entry jobs, got one, and now does it for about $200 a week

Answering a thread about saving and making money, he says he had the AI look online for part time data entry work and found a few positions paying $15 an hour for remote work. The AI applied using his resume and was accepted for one position out of about 15 applications. The AI does the job while he works at his actual job during the day. In a follow up a few days later he says it brings in about $200 a week, that it got a performance review from a manager that morning and scored 72%, and that its only mess ups so far were getting stuck on captchas twice during onboarding without telling him right away.

$200a week

How it works

  1. The AI searches for remote data entry jobs paying about $15 an hour
  2. Applies to about 15 positions with his resume
  3. Gets accepted for one
  4. Does the data entry work during his workday
  5. Gets a manager performance review at 72%
  6. Earns about $200 a week

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent is not helping him do a job. It holds the job itself, gets reviewed by a manager, and the pay lands weekly.
