💡 Why Do “Not Satisfied” Ratings Happen?

Before diving into tips, let’s first understand the common reasons workers get their submissions rejected:

❌ Unclear or incomplete proof – The Employer cannot verify your work.
❌ Failure to follow instructions – Proofs do not match the Employer’s request.
❌ Fake or misleading proof – Submitting random or false information.
❌ Poor-quality screenshots – Blurry, cropped, or missing key details.
❌ Submitting too quickly – Rushing through tasks and making mistakes.
❌ Submitting the wrong proof – Attaching proof for a different task.
❌ Ignoring special requirements – Skipping small but important details.

By avoiding these mistakes, you can greatly reduce your rejection rate. The key to success on Microworkers? Mastering the art of following instructions carefully and submitting complete, accurate proof.

Let’s dive into the practical tips:

⇒ 1. Use a Stable Internet Connection

If you lose internet connection while working on a task, your proof submission might not go through properly.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection before starting.
✔ If the task requires uploading a file, double-check that the file was successfully uploaded.

💡 Extra Tip: If your internet disconnects, reopen the task and make sure your proof is complete before submitting.

⇒ 2. Never Use VPN or Proxy When Taking Tasks

Microworkers strictly prohibits the use of Proxy or VPN when performing tasks. If you are using a VPN or proxy, it will trigger a rejection. And this will lead to your account being terminated.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Use a stable, real internet connection—avoid public Wi-Fi or VPNs.

✔ Make sure your IP matches the country required.

💡 Extra Tip: If you live in a country that is not allowed for a task, don’t try to bypass it—your proof will be rejected.

⇒ 3. Always Read Instructions Twice. Understand the Task Before Clicking “Accept and Start”

Don’t assume that all tasks are the same. A single missed instruction—like the wrong proof format or missing a required step—can lead to rejection. Some Workers accept tasks blindly without reading instructions properly.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Carefully read the full task description before starting.
✔ Look for keywords, proof requirements, and special instructions.
✔ If the Employer asks for specific formatting, take note of it before submitting proof.

💡 Extra Tip: If you’re unsure about a task, skip it rather than risk rejection.

⇒ 4. Check for Additional Employer Notes

Some Employers provide extra instructions listed as an “Important Note”, do not ignore this.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Before submitting proof, check if the Employer has important notes.
✔ Employers sometimes clarify mistakes or add hints to help workers in revision of tasks. Follow the instruction for revision.
✔ Make sure you’re following the complete instructions.

💡 Extra Tip: Employers appreciate workers who pay attention to details, so double-check before submitting.

⇒ 5. Verify That Your Proof Is Easy to Check

Employers verify every submission, so your proof must be easy to check and accurate.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Ensure links are active and correctly formatted.
✔ If submitting a screenshot, make sure it’s clear and uncropped.
✔ Provide additional details if necessary to make verification easier.

💡 Extra Tip: Think like an Employer—would you accept your own proof if you were reviewing it?

⇒ 6. Submit files that are supported by the system.

Not all file types are accepted by Microworkers when submitting proofs. Know the supported file formats of Microworkers.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Stick to supported file types such as doc, docx, xls, xlsx, pdf, jpeg, jpg, gif, tiff, png, csv, ppt, ps, eps, svg, cdr, swf and zip

💡 Extra Tip: If unsure, convert your file to a common format (like PDF or JPG).

⇒ 7. Use a Screenshot Tool when required

If the Employer requires you to provide a screenshot link, use image hosting services for it.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Use a screenshot tool (e.g., Lightshot, Snipping Tool, or Screenshot apps) to capture clear images.
✔ Ensure that all necessary details are visible in your screenshot.
✔ Avoid cropping important parts of the screenshot.

💡 Extra Tip: If the task requires proof from a mobile app, use your phone’s built-in screenshot function for clarity.

⇒ 8. Check for Time Restrictions in the Task

Some tasks require waiting a certain period before submitting proof (e.g., “Wait 5 minutes before taking a screenshot”).

🔹 What to do?
✔ If the task says “Wait 5 minutes before submitting,” set a timer to avoid submitting too early.
✔ Employers might check timestamps—don’t rush the proof if a delay is required.

💡 Extra Tip: If the task involves watching a full video for tagging, don’t skip ahead—the Employer might check the view duration.

⇒ 9. Organize Your Work When Doing Multiple Tasks

Many workers work on several tasks at once and accidentally submit the wrong proof for a task.

🔹 What to do?
✔ If handling multiple tasks, keep track of which proof belongs to which task.
✔ If using screenshots, label them clearly before uploading.
✔ Before submitting, double-check that the proof matches the correct task.

💡 Extra Tip: Organizing your work will also help you work faster and more efficiently.

⇒ 10. Avoid Copy-Pasting from Other Workers

Some workers try to copy other people’s answers from past tasks, which can lead to mass rejections.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Always write your own responses instead of copying from others.
✔ If you’re unsure how to answer, re-read the instructions instead of guessing.
✔ Employers may check for duplicate answers and reject workers who copy-paste.

💡 Extra Tip: If a task requires a unique answer, take time to think of a well-written response.

⇒ 11. Make Use of the “Include/Exclude List” Feature to Check the Employer’s Jobs More Easily

Missing out on jobs from the Employers you’ve worked well within the past might mean losing opportunities for quicker approvals, easier tasks, or even better-paying campaigns. If a job went smoothly once, chances are you’ll do great again. Luckily, Microworkers allows you to add your favorite Employers by using the “Include/Exclude List” so you can easily find their future campaigns.

🔹 What to do?
✔ When you complete a job and have a positive experience with a particular Employer, put them in your “Include” list. Later, you can quickly check their tasks under the Jobs page. Jobs from the Employers are highlighted in green.

💡 Extra Tip: This is especially helpful if you’re building a great approval history with specific Employers. Make use of Microworkers’ “Include” feature.

⇒ 12. Keep Track of Your Past Rejections

Workers who repeat the same mistakes keep getting rejected. Learn from your past mistakes!

🔹 What to do?
✔ Keep a list of tasks where you got a “Not Satisfied” rating.
✔ Identify patterns in why your proofs were rejected and avoid making the same mistakes.
✔ If an Employer left feedback, read it carefully and apply the corrections.

💡 Extra Tip: A worker with a high approval rate gets better jobs and more direct hiring opportunities.

⇒ 13. Be Honest—Don’t Submit Fake or Manipulated Proof

Some workers try to edit screenshots, fake links, or submit false proofs to complete tasks quickly. Employers can easily detect this and will reject your proof.

🔹 What to do?
✔ Only submit real and verifiable proofs.
✔ If a task asks for a specific step, actually do it instead of guessing.
✔ If an Employer checks your proof manually, they will see if it is fake and may report you.

💡 Extra Tip: A single fake proof may get you permanently banned from Microworkers—it’s not worth the risk!

⇒ 14. Be Careful with Automated Translation Tools

If a task requires writing a response in English, using Google Translate or other translation tools might create unnatural sentences that can be rejected.

🔹 What to do?
✔ If your English is not strong, write simple, correct sentences instead of relying on auto-translation.
✔ If you must use a translator, check if the translation makes sense before submitting.
✔ Avoid copying text from AI tools or random online sources—some Employers check for originality.

💡 Extra Tip: Employers may reject text proof that looks automated or unnatural—it’s better to write in your own words.

⇒ 15. Learn from Rejections and Improve

Instead of getting frustrated, use rejections as an opportunity to improve your work.

🔹 What to do?
✔ If an Employer provides feedback on why proof was rejected, use that information to improve.
✔ If you’re unsure why a task was rejected, review the task instructions carefully.
✔ Adapt and refine your approach based on past mistakes.

💡 Extra Tip: The best workers are those who learn and improve over time—not those who quit after rejections.

Getting consistent “Satisfied” ratings on Microworkers is not about speed—it’s about accuracy and reliability. The best workers are those who carefully follow instructions, submit clear proofs, and take time to complete tasks properly.

By following these tips, you’ll increase your approval rate, earn more, and build a strong reputation on Microworkers! 🎯
