Clickworker vs Appen: Choosing the Best UHRS Vendor for Maximum Earnings
In our previous post on how to make up to 10,000 FCFA daily as a student through online work, we introduced Microsoft's Universal Human Relevance System (UHRS). This platform offers legitimate microtask opportunities requiring only a smartphone or computer.
Today, we compare the two leading UHRS vendors - Clickworker and Appen - to help you maximize your earnings.
Important: Always work with only one vendor at a time to avoid account suspension.
Personal experience: 328+ UHRS working hours with Appen over 9 months
