[00:00] What if a company paid you just to go about&nbsp; your normal day? Not surveys, not data entry,&nbsp;&nbsp; just recording yourself doing everyday things.&nbsp; For example, cooking breakfast, doing laundry,&nbsp;&nbsp; going for a walk with a camera mounted on your&nbsp; head. I came across a platform called Contracted&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:17] AI that promises exactly that. I have been testing&nbsp; side hustles since 2016, and this one is unlike&nbsp;&nbsp; anything I have reviewed before. So, I went&nbsp; through the entire application process to find&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:30] out what they actually offer and the results were&nbsp; interesting and I will share it all in this video&nbsp;&nbsp; here. So, let's just jump straight into it and&nbsp; talk about who can join and what will you actually&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:43] be doing here because contracted AI is looking for&nbsp; people to record short firsterson videos of normal&nbsp;&nbsp; daily activities. It's as mentioned things like&nbsp; cooking, cleaning, doing chores, running errands,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[00:55] things like that. And you can join from what I&nbsp; can see from basically all countries. When you&nbsp;&nbsp; go through the application process, I'll talk&nbsp; a little bit more about that later. Then you&nbsp;&nbsp; can choose your country. Maybe there are a few you&nbsp; can't, but it's definitely open to many different&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:08] countries. But why do they actually need these&nbsp; recordings here? Well, according to themsel here,&nbsp;&nbsp; then the footage is used to train AI systems&nbsp; because companies developing AI need real world&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:20] data to teach their models how humans move,&nbsp; work, and interact with their environment. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; you will actually record with your phone&nbsp; mounted on your head and clips are between&nbsp;&nbsp; 5 and 15 minutes long. Usually, you are not doing&nbsp; any talking, no acting, and you're not required&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:35] to do any editing or anything like that. You&nbsp; just have to submit the raw footage. And a very&nbsp;&nbsp; important thing to also know is that the headmount&nbsp; you need where you actually need to put the phone,&nbsp;&nbsp; they will send that to you for free. So it's not&nbsp; that you have to go out and invest in something&nbsp;&nbsp;
[01:48] like that. You just need to actually have a&nbsp; phone that can record. But let's talk about the&nbsp;&nbsp; application process and what you can expect about&nbsp; that before we go over the earning potential.&nbsp;&nbsp; So if you decide this is for you after watching&nbsp; this video here, then you can see here it&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:04] there is a start application process. It says&nbsp; here, "Free equipment, no expense required,&nbsp;&nbsp; 2 minutes to see if you are approved." So, I'll&nbsp; get back to this here because I kind of disagree&nbsp;&nbsp; with this, but a little bit more about that later.&nbsp; First of all, it is a few short questions through&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:18] an AI chat. So, it's not difficult or anything&nbsp; like that. For me, it took around 5 minutes in&nbsp;&nbsp; total to go through this process. Uh, they ask you&nbsp; about your daily routine, your lifestyle, what&nbsp;&nbsp; kinds of activities you do, and then you choose&nbsp; how many hours per day you are willing to commit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:33] So the options they go from 1 hour and up to 12&nbsp; hours per day. So from that you can conclude that&nbsp;&nbsp; you minimum need to be willing to commit to 1&nbsp; hour a day where you have to walk around with&nbsp;&nbsp; this headmount to be able to participate. And they&nbsp; say based on all your answers there, the system&nbsp;&nbsp;
[02:48] calculates a personalized offer and shows it to&nbsp; you right there on the screen. The personalized&nbsp;&nbsp; offer is just about how much you can potentially&nbsp; earn. I will go over the earning potential&nbsp;&nbsp; and what my offer was just a little bit later. And&nbsp; I do like the transparency about this. However,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:05] this whole thing about where they're saying&nbsp; two minutes to see if you are approved. Well,&nbsp;&nbsp; that's not exactly how it works. At least not&nbsp; for me because after the application, then you&nbsp;&nbsp; have to give your name, email, phone number, and&nbsp; then you have to wait to hear back from them. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:17] it's not that you will be told after 2 minutes&nbsp; if you are approved. You first get an email&nbsp;&nbsp; confirmation saying that they have received your&nbsp; application and that you will hear back from them.&nbsp;&nbsp; But at the time of recording this video here,&nbsp; well, it's been around 2 weeks or so. I still&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:32] have not heard back from them. So, just keep that&nbsp; in mind that it might take a lot longer to hear&nbsp;&nbsp; back from them. And 2 minutes definitely you do&nbsp; not know if you approved or not. If you have done&nbsp;&nbsp; this yourself or if you're deciding to apply after&nbsp; watching this video here and just wait until we've&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:46] talked about the earning potential also, then&nbsp; please share in the comments below what were your&nbsp;&nbsp; experiences. Were you approved? Were you denied&nbsp; or rejected? How long did it take? I would love to&nbsp;&nbsp; hear your experiences. But first, if you haven't&nbsp; decided yet whether you want to apply or not,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[03:59] let's talk about how much you can earn. So, now&nbsp; for the number you have probably been waiting for.&nbsp;&nbsp; Uh, the number they offered me was $2.6 to&nbsp; $3.5 per hour. So, to put that in perspective,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:15] if you committed 2 hours per day every day for&nbsp; a full month, you are looking at roughly $155&nbsp;&nbsp; to $210. For that, you would be walking around&nbsp; with a camera mounted on your head for two hours&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:28] each day, recording your routine and submitting&nbsp; the footage. Whether that would work for you is&nbsp;&nbsp; something only you can decide. Also, this is just&nbsp; what I was offered. Maybe you would get offered&nbsp;&nbsp; more or less. Again, this likely depends on your&nbsp; country. Also, if you have applied or are deciding&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:45] to do, please share below which country are you&nbsp; in? How much were you offered for this? But also&nbsp;&nbsp; before deciding there's just a little important&nbsp; thing that you have to consider in my opinion.&nbsp;&nbsp;
[04:57] So we also need to talk about privacy here. And&nbsp; this is very important to consider in my opinion&nbsp;&nbsp; before you decide if this is for you or not&nbsp; because you are not clicking through service here.&nbsp;&nbsp; You are recording your home, your daily routine,&nbsp; your daily environment. That footage goes to an&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:12] AI training company and will be used to teach AI&nbsp; systems about real human behavior and real world&nbsp;&nbsp; spaces. And I'm not saying that this makes it&nbsp; a bad idea, but it is a tradeoff worth thinking&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:24] about. In general, you should always consider&nbsp; both pros and cons before deciding going for&nbsp;&nbsp; an earning opportunity in my opinion. So for this&nbsp; particular option here, think about for example,&nbsp;&nbsp; what are you comfortable sharing? Are you okay&nbsp; sharing your kitchen, your morning routine,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:38] the layout of your home? Different people have&nbsp; different answers for this, but just make sure&nbsp;&nbsp; that it's a decision you make consciously and not&nbsp; one you skip past in the excitement of signing&nbsp;&nbsp; up and potentially earning. So, to sum it all&nbsp; up, from what I can see, yes, it does look like&nbsp;&nbsp;
[05:54] Contracted.ai is a legit platform. The application&nbsp; process is transparent. The offer is shown up&nbsp;&nbsp; front, so you know how much you can potentially&nbsp; earn. And I also received a proper confirmation&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:07] email. And the concept itself where companies&nbsp; pay you to generate real world footage for AI&nbsp;&nbsp; training. Well, that is also a real and growing&nbsp; market. One thing I could not verify, however,&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:19] is the payment method because I didn't find any&nbsp; clear information about how and when they pay&nbsp;&nbsp; and whether there is a minimum payout threshold.&nbsp; So, this is worth checking if they actually end&nbsp;&nbsp; up accepting you before you commit any serious&nbsp; time to this. And also please if you have been&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:33] accepted or will be accepted please share below&nbsp; which options were available for you and what was&nbsp;&nbsp; the payer threshold and the country you live in.&nbsp; I would love to hear your experiences about this.&nbsp;&nbsp; Overall I think it is an interesting way to earn&nbsp; but at least what I was offered is too low for me&nbsp;&nbsp;
[06:48] to be bothered to walk around with a headmount and&nbsp; record my daily activities and share my private&nbsp;&nbsp; home my private life. But it can be an interesting&nbsp; way to earn a bit extra if you feel comfortable&nbsp;&nbsp; about that. That's something only you can answer.&nbsp; But I do like that they are so transparent about&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:04] what you can expect. And now at least you also&nbsp; know a little bit more about what to consider&nbsp;&nbsp; that you might not be told there on the platform.&nbsp; So I hope this video then helped you. If you're&nbsp;&nbsp; interested in other AI training jobs where the&nbsp; application process is very different, where&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:18] you don't have to share the same private things,&nbsp; then I do have a list on my website of the best&nbsp;&nbsp; AI training tasks and jobs. So I'll leave a link&nbsp; to that below. Also, if you're just interesting in&nbsp;&nbsp; general in a side hustle, then I do have a list on&nbsp; my website with more than 20 different free ways&nbsp;&nbsp;
[07:32] to earn some extra money. So, I'll leave a link to&nbsp; that below so you can also check that out. But no&nbsp;&nbsp; forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and&nbsp; hit the notification bell so you won't miss out&nbsp;&nbsp;
