ToneADay by Lymbix is creating a new piece of software to insert into e-mails for clients. This software helps alert the writer to potentially harmful words within their mail they are sending out to others. ToneADay allows online, English-speaking users to sign-up for a free account and test themselves on emotional responses to various words. It sounds easy enough!
ToneADay has already gotten some bad publicity but I decided to give it a go this week anyway. I've found that they're not a scam after all. It was simply a matter of a new organization getting their poop in a group, if I may say so myself. Now that ToneADay is more organized than ever it is the best time to sign-up for this work at home opportunity. Payments are immediate now that they have their once-a-month plan down-pat.
How ToneADay Works:
First you will have to create a free user account to take a short test. The test will consist of about 100 random words that you will have to rank in your emotional response. The ranking comes from a list of 8 basic emotional responses. The list looks like this:
- Affection/Friendliness
- Enjoyment/Elation
- Amusement/Excitement
- Contentment/Gratitude
- Sadness/Grief
- Anger/Loathing
- Fear/Uneasiness
- Humiliation/Shame
From there you will move sliders across each emotion to explain how the word makes you react. For example: "Hate" may spur emotions of fear and anger. You will slide those two words to an appropriate level of each emotion you feel when hearing or thinking of the specific word "hate."
Once you've given the all-clear that your test is over it will go through a short evaluation process. ToneADay is looking for individuals that meet their particular requirements based on social norms. We have to keep in mind that some people have the wrong emotional response to some basic words based on previous experiences. Anyway, the evaluation should only take 24 to 48 hours and then you can cash out for your first time. If you're accepted for more evaluations then you can work up to 500 words a day.
What the Pay is Like:
Payment is fairly simple. ToneADay offers only $.02 USD per word you rate. Within the 100 words you test for you will earn $2.00 though. That payment is sent directly to your PayPal account as soon as your evaluation is completed. Beyond that, payment gets a little tricky. You are put into subcategories of words they have grouped. Cash-out happens once a month through PayPal and here are the requirements you must meet:
*Qualifying Level: $2 minimum payout
1. Emotional Wellness Level: $30 minimum payout. (lowered from $50)
2. Emotional Purpose level: $20 minimum payout.
3. Emotional Competence: $10 minimum payout.
4. Emotional Wisdom: $4 minimum payout.
5. Qualified Rater: $1 minimum payout.
Once you reach each payment level you will be asked to donate at least 10% of your earnings to a non-profit organization. At the moment, you can choose to donate to the American Red Cross Association or Kiva. This being said, your first initial cash out will only be $1.80--but payment is immediate.
Wait...a Required 10% Donation?
I know, it feels like you might be getting ripped off but relax. You can still include these deductions on your tax forms since they are to legitimate non-profit organizations. You can chose whichever organization you send the 10% income to so it isn't like they're forcing you to go with only one fishy outfit you've never heard of before. This is ToneADay's way of giving back to the community. If you think of it, this 10% is nothing in the long-run and you're helping out your fellow man by just rating a few words each day.
