Despite promises by CEO Susan Wojcicki to cut the time down to four hours a day, moderators in Austin routinely report deteriorating mental health after six months. Accenture managers routinely snub paid vacation time and force employees to work late into break times. Google treats full-time employees with one standard of medical care, but contractors are paid virtually nothing for a medical condition.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upwork\"><\/span>Upwork<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a YouTube moderator, you may be wondering how to get paid on Upwork. The online site allows users to post reviews and upload pictures of videos, but there are some important rules to follow. Upwork does not pay for negative reviews, and its freelancers often hide them from their clients. The site also ghosts people who leave bad reviews and does not treat clients fairly. To get paid on Upwork, you must have experience in the field.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether UpWork&#8217;s policies are misogynistic, a representative answered yes. The company&#8217;s ToS outlines different forms of cyberviolence and a section on Prohibited Site Uses. &#8220;Unsolicited Contact&#8221; is broadly defined, but it&#8217;s not clear whether UpWork&#8217;s policies are gender-neutral. Those who do not believe UpWork&#8217;s policies are misogynistic should report any violations to Upwork staff.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re approved, Upwork has a marketplace where clients search for freelancers. If you market yourself properly, you can land gigs with top clients. You can apply for hourly or fixed projects, set your rates, and send proposals to projects that interest you. The website uses an algorithm to highlight jobs that are relevant to you. If you&#8217;re a video moderator, you&#8217;ll be paid on Upwork only after someone hires you.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FlexJobs\"><\/span>FlexJobs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>FlexJobs is an online job board that has posted numerous opportunities for people with different skills and experience to become YouTube moderators. The site has a reputation for legitimacy as it is accredited with the Better Business Bureau and offers a money-back guarantee if you&#8217;re not satisfied with the position. Listed below are a few of the top companies that employ online moderators. Interested applicants should file an application to get started and compete with other qualified candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The job description describes the responsibilities and requirements of a YouTube moderator. You&#8217;ll receive pay by the hour, with pay varying depending on your experience. You can expect to earn anywhere from $15 to $20 an hour. Different platforms pay differently, so make sure to compare pay rates. While FlexJobs for YouTube moderators may pay a little more than other companies, it&#8217;s worth checking out if you&#8217;re interested in remote work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ModSquad\"><\/span>ModSquad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do ModSquad YouTube moderators get hired and paid? The company is an Equal Opportunity Employer, which means that all qualified applicants are considered. No one is discriminated against because of their gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or other protected characteristics. ModSquad&#8217;s mods can choose projects that fit their lifestyle and work schedule. They can work from home or a remote office.<\/p>\n<p>As a moderator, you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to work anywhere in the world, as long as you have a fast internet connection and a decent workspace. Some companies will require you to purchase tools and other items in order to do your job. ModSquad pays its moderators based on their skills and experience. If you have any experience or speak more than one language, you could be eligible for better compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Working for ModSquad involves engaging with customers online, filtering spam and helping brands engage their audiences. ModSquad offers flexible work hours and can accommodate both full-time and part-time workers. The company also offers a competitive compensation package, including an equity stake. ModSquad YouTube moderators get paid on a monthly basis, which is why many people have been successful working with the company.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RJMh9ZsErHE\" width=\"531\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"297\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do YouTube Moderators Get Paid?
