Hello everyone, and welcome back to my channel, Jennifer Marie, where I teach you different
ways that you can make money online working from home.
Many of my most popular videos on this channel teach you how to make money as a transcriptionist.
So today I wanted to give you an updated video on how much money you can actually make as
a captioner or a transcriptionist on rev.com.
I have several different tutorials about the application process with Rev or how to apply
to become a captioner or transcriber there, but in this video, I want to focus on how
much money you can actually earn once you get accepted.
I also want to talk to you about job availability in 2022.
So most YouTubers just show you the website of where to go to apply and they don't actually
apply to the job and successfully get in.
So when they say you can make $100 or $200 a day with Rev they really don't know what
they're talking about.
I however, have applied and been accepted.
So you can take this video as an accurate picture of what you can expect to earn once
you get accepted.
Now before you apply to be a rev captioner or transcriptionist, I want to advise you
that yes, you must have excellent punctuation skills to become a transcriptionist or captioner.
It is very important to use commas periods question marks quotation marks, apostrophes
and hyphens correctly.
Most People Fail transcription tests because they are not using punctuation, especially
commas correctly.
So make sure to watch my full playlist on punctuation rules at my sparkle English channel,
which I will link you to in the description below.
Okay, so first of all, rev is currently hiring.
However, rev currently only accepts applicants from the following countries Australia, Canada,
India, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, the UK, Ireland and
the United States.
So you can either apply to revs captioning or transcription platform.
As a transcriptionist, you can make between 30 cents, and $1.10 per audio or video minute,
and as a captioner, between 54 cents and $1.10 per audio video minute.
And with Rev you get paid weekly via PayPal.
Okay, so now I'm going to log into the rev platform where I have obviously been accepted.
And I want to show you an example of some of my past earnings when I used to be a rev
captioner.
So I'm going to go to my work, then earnings.
And then I'm going to go back to 2017 when I was doing captioning for Rev. So the biggest
job that I did was a 27 minute job, and 35 seconds.
And you can see here that I was paid $14.89.
And this is US dollars for completing this 27 minute job.
Again, this was the pay rate back in 2017.
So I'm going to talk about the pay rate now in 2022.
And whether or not that has gone up a bit.
But to see that many YouTubers will say you can earn $30 or $20 an hour transcribing.
But this is just not true.
It takes between two and a half and four hours to transcribe one hour of audio on average.
If the file is very easy, it may take you only two hours to transcribe it, but only
if you have great typing skills.
And the file is relatively easy to understand and transcribe.
So here's another 118 minutes 30 seconds and I got paid almost $10 for this.
So again, you can't view this as earning $10 in 20 minutes, because this is not only listening
to the file, transcribing the file making sure it's perfect and free of any errors.
But then also syncing it because this is a caption job.
So now I want to look at the current job availability and pay rate in 2022.
Now right now is the weekend it is Sunday so there's not a whole lot of work on the
weekends.
You can see here there's just one file available under claimable caption projects.
This one is paying 69 cents per minute and it is four minutes and 50 seconds long.
So the pay total is $3.33.
Now on the weekends, there are not a whole lot of jobs available.
So I'm going to show you what this looks like during the week as well so you have a better
idea of how many jobs you can take on per day.
Okay, so today is Monday and I've just opened up rev to see if we can claim any projects.
And you can see here that there are no jobs that I can claim.
However, it says waiting for more jobs there are currently 217 jobs in the river plus queue.
And what that means is that if you look here on river levels, I am currently a river I
have been plus river plus in the past, but you have to maintain a certain amount of minutes
to stay a rubber plus, but that means that rubber plus get to claim jobs 90 minutes before
revers So that means that before these jobs become available to me, people who are Revver
plus have 90 more minutes to claim these jobs.
So I'm going to assume in an hour, so a lot of these jobs will become available for revers
like myself to be able to claim.
Okay, so now you can see there are 77 jobs available and new ones keep popping up that
are available, you can sort them by length, so you got some short ones at a minute each,
and then some longer ones as well, you can sort it by the pay.
So we have the pay total for the job here.
And then you have the pay per minute.
And if we scroll all the way to the bottom, you can see that there are 432 jobs, the rubber
plus queue.
So again, for plus they have an extra 90 minutes, and they have first access to the jobs before
they get released to the rubbers.
So that is one benefit of working really hard and trying to work do well enough to become
rubber plus,
so then you get first pick of the jobs as well.
So again, with Rev I definitely recommend to apply to become a captioner or a transcriptionist.
Just keep in mind that in order to transcribe any of these files, it takes you about three
to four times the length of the file.
So keep that in mind when you are considering how much money you can actually make as a
transcriptionist.
But there is a lot of work available on rev, especially during the week from Monday to
Friday.
And then on the weekends, there are the odd job that you can pick up as well.
And if you want to know how much money you can expect to make per day transcribing, or
captioning on rev that really does depend on job availability, and on how fast you can
type and on how difficult the file is and how many jobs you can get in a day.
But again, rev always has a lot of jobs available from Monday to Friday, especially once you
are a rev or Plus member.
