Guidelines FAQ

Who is a Worker and who is an Employer?  What are Campaigns and what is a task?  How everything works?
Because we call jobs "micro jobs", Workers could also be called "small jobs".
Small jobs are jobs that could be finished quick in most cases in couple of minutes.
To be better guided, please take time to also read our Frequently asked questions

Employers
Employers are people who are hunger and need help getting something done.
Employers start new campaigns and look for Worker;s who are hunger for money.
Employers review work done and pay Workers.



Guidelines for Employers   
When starting a Campaign, employers should comply with our guidelines:
1. A Campaign must be well-described, understandable and suitable for general audience. Instructions and proofs should be described in a brief and clear manner as possible, listed in numbers and with no repetition of instructions.
2. Rude and negative comments included in the instructions will not be allowed. Avoid including CAPS-locked comments (like IMPORTANT, MUST, WARNING and !!!) in the instructions. Threats to Workers will also not be accepted (ex. I will have your OwnWorkers account banned,terminate and Spam etc). A positive and friendly tone will always be appreciated.
3. Must not require any illegal activities and must not be harmful in any way.
4. Employers should understand that each Campaign is basically a job offered to a minimum of 30 workers.
5. International campaigns must be directed to the general users/Workers and not selective to a few countries only.
6. When reviewing finished tasks submitted by Workers, Employers should use fair judgement; if submitted task is finished as required, Employer must mark such task as "satisfied". If a task did not satisfy requirements, Employer must mark such task as "not satisfied" and provide a valid reason for disapproving the worker’s proof.
7. Employers will only pay for tasks that satisfied requirements ("satisfied"). OwnWorkers does not charge any money of fees for tasks that did not meet requirements set by Employers.


Campaigns guidelines   
Campaigns could also be referred to as "jobs". Every Campaign consist of requirements, how many Workers needed (positions) and amount Workers will earn. When Workers accept a job they will have to submit a proof that they finished this job.Every Campaign must meet conditions described below.

OwnWorkers toon - how it works?


What is OwnWorkers?
Ownworkers is an innovative, International online platform that connects Employers and Workers from around the world. Our unique approach guarantee Employers that a task paid is a task successfully done, while at the same time guaranteeing Workers that a job completed is a job paid.
Just as its name suggest, the tasks assigned to Workers and paid for by Employers are simple and quick, mostly completed in a few minutes, thus, are called “micro jobs”. These tasks include simple sign-ups, social bookmarking tasks, forum participation, website visits, rating videos or articles, voting up contest entries, adding comments, suggesting leads, creating backlinks, writing reviews or articles, downloading applications and so much more.
Joining OwnWorkers is free, and as an International site, anyone from any country can be a member.

Who are the Employers?
Anyone can be an Employer. If you own an online business, a blog, a contest entry or simply need referrals for your favorite programs, OwnWorkers is definitely the place to come and have your small tasks assigned to tens of thousands of active Workers who are always ready to complete your job.
Whether you need traffic for your website, comments or a fresh post for your blog, a review for your new product or put your article to the front page of popular bookmarking sites, hiring Workers from our program ensures you affordable, quick and top quality results.

Who are the Workers?
Anyone can also be a Worker. You can be a stay-at-home mom, a student who needs extra spending money, or if you simply love helping others while making some extra cash alongside, this is the place for you. Joining OwnWorkers as a Worker does not mean you are employed by the site. Instead, you will be working as a freelancer. With that, you can work as much or as little as you want. At the same time, your potential for earning is also limitless since you can accept all the jobs you believe you are capable of completing, and get paid for it.

Can I be a Worker and Employer at the same time?
Absolutely. Signing up to OwnWorkers allows you take “micro jobs”. At the same time, when you have job
campaigns you wish to run, you can use the same account to do so. You simply have to click on the Start a
Campaign option, and post your job. What’s more, you can use your earnings as a Worker to fund your campaign
as an Employer.

       
I am a Worker...

Can I have more than one account?
No. There is no need to maintain more than one account and it is against OwnWorkers’ Guidelines. If you've lost your login information, you can request to have it sent to your Email address. If you are caught having more than one account, your account(s) will be terminated, your IP address(es) will be banned, your payments will be forfeited and you can no longer participate in OwnWorkers’ program in the future.

Otherwise, click on Not interested in this job.
What is a Success Rate and why do I need to maintain it?
The OwnWorkers Success Rate ensures Employers that they get quality results from the campaigns they are running. The feature prevents workers from posting spam or fake proofs, and low-quality output of the tasks they perform. As a Worker, you must maintain your actual Success rate (1) above 75% at all times.
Temporary Success rate (2) is real-time rate used to determine how many jobs you can accept per day.
Poorly performed tasks will give you a not satisfied rating and will pull your Success Rate down. To maintain a high Success Rate, make sure to accept only tasks you can finish.

If you believe you have been misrated for a job properly
completed, let us know and we will look into the issue. Just open task details page and click on the "Submit a Complain" link.

Once the Worker submits a proof, the job will appear in the list of Tasks I finished. Tasks not yet rated by Campaign owners (Employers) will show a gray icon. Tasks rated with Satisfied appear with green icon. Tasks rated with Not satisfied will display a red icon.
Where can I view my earnings and account activity?

If Employer forgets to rate tasks, they will be automatically closed by the system in 168 hours ( 1week ) and will be rated "Satisfied". Likewise, the money will be deposited in your account. No task will remain open for a long period of time.

A “Satisfied” rating automatically transfers the fund you have set aside to each individual Worker’s account. You would only be paying for tasks you rate “Satisfied”.
No tasks should remain open for a long period of time. If you forget to rate your Workers’ tasks, they will automatically be closed by the system in 168 hours and will be rated "Satisfied".
What happens if I decide to stop my campaign?
