Tried many side hustles but failed to make any money? This one is a straightforward way to make some cash that can cover your friends-hangout expenses. The website is Rev, which will pay you for writing what’s been said in a video, audio, etc. You will work as a freelancer and get paid weekly. The best part is there’s no shortage of jobs, so you can work as much or as little as you want; One day you got more free hours, so you can work more, another day you’re short of time you can work less. The $70/week is the blueprint; as mentioned in the title, I will explain how much time you will need to make that amount, though you can make more or less.

What to do?

There are two different jobs at Rev; Transcriptionist, and Captioner.

Transcribing is writing a speech, audio, or anything audible into written form. At Rev, as a Transcriptionist, you have to listen to audio and video, Accurately type what is being said, and mention speakers, i.e., speaker 1: “BLA BLA BLA.” The pay for transcribing per audio/video minute is $0.3 — $1.10.

Captioning is a process of displaying text on a video screen to provide additional (i.e., When a person sneezes, the caption is [Man Sneezing]) or interpretive information. At Rev, as a Captioner, you must watch the video, accurately type what is being said, including creatively describing the sounds, and sync the typed text with audio/video.

How to do? (+ “$70/week” Blueprint)

The application process begins immediately after signing up as a freelancer. First, you have to take a quiz to illustrate your English language and grammar skills, then submit a test transcription/caption sample that will be reviewed to ensure it meets their standards. When you are approved, you’ll be able to start making money that moment.

You will need only a good earphone/headset, a PC/smartphone, and an Internet connection. Considering the goal of making $70/week, which means $10/day, the total time required will be 1 hour/day (for a 10-minute audio/video);

  • [15 mins] 1.5 minutes/minute of audio/video reviewing (the 10-minute audio/video)
  • [30 mins] 3 minutes (approx.) writing/transcribing/captioning per minute of audio/video
  • [10 mins] (if captioning) 1 minute for syncing the text according to the audio/video
  • 5 minutes wastage

Hence, a total of 60 minutes…. Mmm, let me explain the earnings in a photographic form.
