What Revision Requested Means on a Micro Job and How to Handle It

When you see a 'revision requested' status for a micro job you submitted on GainWorkers, it means the employer has reviewed your proof and found it needs adjustments. This is not a final rejection but an opportunity to correct your submission. The employer will usually provide a reason for the requested revision. Carefully read the employer's feedback to understand what needs to be changed. Once you have made the necessary corrections, you can resubmit your proof. It is important to address revision requests promptly to maintain your success rate and potentially get paid for your work.

Understanding the Revision Process

On GainWorkers, when an employer reviews your submitted proof, they have several options: approve, reject, or request a revision. A 'revision requested' status means the employer believes the task can be completed correctly with some changes. They will typically leave a comment or reason explaining what is wrong with your proof. This feedback is crucial. It guides you on how to fix the submission and meet the employer's requirements. Always check the task details and the employer's specific instructions again to ensure you understand the exact problem.

How to Address a Revision Request

To handle a 'revision requested' status, navigate to your work history on GainWorkers. Find the specific task that has been flagged. You should see an option to view the employer's feedback and to resubmit your proof. Take the time to carefully read the employer's comments. If the feedback is unclear, you might consider contacting the employer through the platform if that option is available for the specific campaign. However, most employers provide clear instructions. Make the necessary corrections to your proof. This might involve redoing a screenshot, rephrasing text, or providing additional information as requested. Once you are confident the corrections meet the requirements, resubmit your proof through the same task entry in your work history.

Resubmitting Your Proof

After making the required changes, resubmit your proof. The task will then go back into the review queue for the employer. It is important to note that resubmitting a proof does not guarantee its approval. The employer will review the revised proof to ensure it now meets their campaign's criteria. If the corrected proof is satisfactory, the employer will approve it, and the payment will be added to your pending earnings. If the revised proof still does not meet the requirements, the employer might reject it or request further revisions, depending on the campaign settings and the employer's discretion. Always aim to make the corrections accurately the first time to avoid further issues.

Maintaining Your Success Rate

Each submission, whether initially approved or corrected after a revision request, contributes to your overall success rate on GainWorkers. A high success rate is important because many tasks, especially those with higher pay rates or specific requirements, filter workers based on this metric. Consistently addressing revision requests effectively and ensuring your final submissions are accurate helps build your reputation as a reliable worker. This can lead to more opportunities for higher-paying and more complex tasks. Workers can also find ways to improve their skills and understanding of task requirements by reviewing their work history and understanding why certain proofs were requested for revision.
