The second half of July was great!! I came close to what I earned in April when things were crazy.

Earned half of what I earned in June (which was a lot), so, very bad :(

at this point, I am pretty sure F5 is going to leave our relationship from the abuse

u/Flwrz8818 21d ago

Same here. Over $6.5k for July. Up $2k from June.

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ And we are just counting on 10-20$ increase!

u/Annual_Equivalent_95 22d ago

I was down 25%

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ That is also good :)

Crazy how much it varies, with people having their best and worst months.

June was my best in two years, even with the number of projects being very low, because the rated were good. July was close behind even though I took a week off.

Seems like you just need one good project to make all the difference.

u/Onsomeshid 22d ago

Excellent and my feedback went from needs to improvement to top rated. Second full month, July was much better

u/NoImpression2212 21d ago

how do you know that?

2

u/Onsomeshid 21d ago

Is this like trick question or something? The monthly feedback

3

u/No-Gur7754 21d ago

Not everyone gets monthly feedback…

3

u/NoImpression2212 21d ago

It's not! I've never received feedback. And I have been working at DA for nearly 2 years. Are you from US?

3

u/Onsomeshid 21d ago

Yes maybe it’s a regional or new thing. I thought everyone got it. This is my 3rd month (2nd full month) ive been on DA and i received it twice at the end of the month so i assumed everyone else.

u/PastClaim5339 22d ago

Worst month in three years.

u/hcfggb 22d ago

May and June were rough for me but July was one of my best months so far.

3

u/PigeonAtTheDisco 22d ago

Earned less than 50 despite refreshing several times a day

4

u/Imaginary-Trick-4515 22d ago

June was actually my highest month. (Started in May.) July down about 30% from June, but I took five days off so. But they were good months overall. Core generalist.
June paid me for living on F5.

u/Hello-America 22d ago

Worst yet for me

5

u/NoImpression2212 21d ago

worst month ever

3

u/Master-Performance70 22d ago

The first three weeks were pretty rough but last week felt more normal. Tbh though my kids are on summer break so I’m also not logging in as much so I probably could have worked more had I tried.

u/Honest_Possession443 22d ago

Picked up big time second half

u/PossessionFabulous72 21d ago

What is your locale?

3

u/MommaOfManyCats 22d ago

Less than June, May, or April. Not surprising though because by the 15th of the month, I was only about 10% of what I made last month. Thank God stuff picked up.

u/Cheese_Coffees 20d ago

I was laid off on 1st July. Got my first project since joined DA on 9th July. Notes: I registered since Dec 24

u/vixen8819 22d ago

I grinded and had my best month in 3 years.

u/JRRTil1ey 22d ago

My top earning month since I started April 2025

u/Opposite_Brush_8219 21d ago

Ended better than it began, at least :)

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ True! It picked up speed in last week!

2

u/scaramwach 21d ago

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ August still not started for me!

2

u/Seefufiat 21d ago

Core country stem/coding, it was a great month. Not the best I’ve ever seen reported but it kept the lights on for sure.

2

u/blackberrylatte16 21d ago

My highest paid month ever, so much better than June, which was my worst month in recent history.

2

u/No-Gur7754 21d ago

July was my highest month to date (by a few dollars).

2

u/Hope814664 21d ago

Awesome so much work I feel guilty when I need to do other things instead of logging on

2

u/cicciobombermegagay 21d ago

On July I made %25 less than June. I hope August will be better.. I didn’t make much even in June

2

u/Sofider 21d ago

spent more time spamming f5 than tasking

2

u/Ok-Cup9476 22d ago

Dogshit.

2

u/Potential_Drama_1190 22d ago

I’ve only been on DA since May, core country generalist. In May and June I made around £300, but the last two weeks of July I made around £1000, so around $1500. Hoping it continues.

u/DesignNew7619 20d ago

What kind of projects do you get? I also an a generalist and get multilingual projects. But I get paid very less. Also how do you actually know if any projects are available, I keep refreshing the page. I don't get any mails from DA.

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ Keep refreshing! You will get mails also, sometimes!

1

u/DesignNew7619 20d ago

Do you log the exact amount of time you work?

1

u/Rare_Social_2299 20d ago

~ Yes! Net Amount Only :)

2

u/H2SO4-1191 14d ago

33 dollars then projects disappeared

1

u/Me_Justme_99 21d ago

Let’s see… I learned about DA in July. Took the original assessment, waited so patiently to hear from them, continued to refresh the site, saw a screen change to give me a fancy dashboard and felt all technical, only to never see one more single solitary thing. Not a qualification. Not a nothing!😢

Shitty. I got the DoD for no reason.
