Setting Fair Budgets

Consider These Factors:

  • Time required - how long will task take?
  • Complexity level - how difficult is the task?
  • Account requirements - do workers need existing accounts?
  • Market rates - what do similar tasks pay?
  • Your budget - what can you afford per result?

Typical Budget Ranges:

  • Simple engagement (like, follow): $0.25 - $0.75
  • Reviews and comments (comment, review): $1.00 - $5.00
  • Account creation: $1.00 - $3.00
  • Complex tasks (research, multi-step): $5.00 - $25.00

Budget Tip: Higher-paying tasks get completed faster and attract higher-quality workers. Consider the lifetime value of each result when setting budgets.

Quality Control Settings

Worker Requirements

  • Minimum approval rate: 90%+ recommended
  • Account age: 30+ days for sensitive tasks

Verification Settings

  • Automatic approval: For simple, verifiable tasks
  • Manual review: For complex or subjective work

Rejection Guidelines

Only reject work that clearly violates requirements:
