  • Do the tasks change or are they always Fisher Investments?
    Still eventually made my target :)

    I had to thank you for this post, it gave me a giggle! :j Anyone looking at my history at the moment will think I am a Ken Fisher stalker. (New to Swagbucks too.)

    The level 0 ones seem to mostly be the casino ones and majority are the fisher investments. There are a few skill tests lately about Diacon, Finnish Big Brother, Linkedin searching for people, who are the authors of websites, as well as whether websites are a blog or not etc

    I click on the skill tests link but it never has anything? I don't really understand the tasks fully yet. I have completed a couple lately that will not work even though I am 100% sure I have followed the instructions. They then go on to say my accuracy is too low! I have reported them & will not do these type again as I am worried they are harming my chances of doing other things that Fisher Investments.
    I have had to add the extension on, which doesn't always work & is frustrating as I have to do the task twice but it negates the bookmarklet. Lets see how it goes.

    I have found tasks to be a steep learning curve as well.

    Firstly, the skill tests aren't always under the skill test link on your dashboard. The ones I mentioned, like the ones where it asks you for the "emotion" of the posts, postive/neutral/negative ones are the skill tests and they can be found on the main tasks area. If you go under a certain percentage it kicks you out of the task. Don't worry about failing these as they do not affect the Fisher Investments (I have been kicked out of many unfairly and have had to write in with screenshots and google translates etc). It only kicks you out of that certain task.

    It's good to try to do these as you have to do 100 skill tests in order to get to level 1. I'm on about 50 at the moment and it's really hard to find these tests in the first place and secondly you have to be quite careful in following the instructions.

    Once you get to level 1 you can do other tasks that others on level 0 can't do.

    The extension/bookmarklet is another source of pain. I found the crowdflower extension does not work for me on chrome and I have had to do these on firefox. The bookmarklet works fine for me on Chrome.

    Sometimes the instructions on the page themselves are wrong asking you to search for terms but the bookmarklet tells you you are searching for the wrong thing. Sometimes I click on random links other than the one the task tells me as it keeps telling me I have not clicked on the right link, in the hope that I find the actual one they want. I wish I could find a forum of people discussing badly worded tasks so I can complete them as obviously some other people are successfully completing the tasks too.

    If you see mobile tasks try and do these. I see that a lot more people are doing the PC based one and not the mobile ones, but they are just as easy to do once you have favourited the bookmarklet on your phone.

    I am on Chrome. Yes the booklet works but these tasked won't let me use the booklet instead, so I just have to start again & hope.

    I do not have a smart phone so I cannot do the mobile ones.

    I have had a weird message lately saying that I cannot access the task as I am using it on another account? It looks like there are two accounts in my account area but I always enter tasks via SB so I am confused what they mean about accessing from another account.

    A forum on tasks would be good. Maybe an experienced member could start one? :beer:
  • i have question about the tasks

    Usually one of the last questions ask you to enter "who owns the website" etc

    What do you people put here. Im never sure whether to put the name of the company in the website, the name of the company in the url OR the company that holds the copyright small print at the bottom of the webpage

    Just wondering what other people do?

    It does seem to duplicate the previous question. I read it that the web address is the owner i.e. Fisher Investments. So far it has matched the page with the web address. There doesn't seem to be too much info on tasks does there.
