The 4 real AI-training platforms, easiest first, with the pay each one states on its own site and the scam checklist

The companion to the reel. PAGE 1 — the four at a glance, in order: DataAnnotation (one starter test of about an hour, 'Starting at $25-$30+ per hour' for general projects, paid via PayPal), Outlier by Scale AI ('No AI experience needed', paid weekly), Alignerr ('$80/hr Average pay') and Mercor (one AI interview, '$110/hr' average contracted rate). PAGES 2–3 — each platform: what the work is, the entry test, the pay quoted word for word from its own site with the link, how you get paid, and the catch. PAGE 4 — 4 more legit options with their caveats: Prolific, the Handshake AI Fellowship (US only), CrowdGen by Appen and Remotasks. PAGE 5 — the scam checklist, quoted from the FTC: never pay to get paid, ignore job texts on WhatsApp or Telegram, never deposit crypto to 'unlock tasks'. PAGE 6 — a first-week plan and tips for passing the assessments. Every rate checked on the platforms' own sites on September 28, 2026; pay varies by project, skills and location.
