Can We Ask For Free Hugs on myLot?

I just flunked an English Grammar test...AGAIN!!! Yesterday, I took a 40 question, 40 minute multiple choice online exam. Half way through, it looked like I was running out time so I had to speed through and just randomly click answers. I only scored 57%. Did I ever feel stooooopid. This is just some crummy pre-qualifying test for a content mill. Anyone have any suggestions on paid writing sites that don't make you jump through so many hoops? Otherwise, I just wanna know if it's alright for me to ask for a virtual hug and a big "awwwww" everything's going to be alright? UPDATE: Site is CrowdSource.com now called OneSpace.com Photo Source: still wanderer on Flicker Creative Commons License | CC BY 2.0

Hugs to you. I wrote on Textbroker. They asked for a writing sample at the time I joined. I only ranked 3 in their testing, which is average so do not feel too badly. What is this other site? I am wondering if I dare try it. You could send it to me in a personal message if you would like. I am looking for a free grammar and language brush up course before I test again anywhere.

@marlina @GardenGerty Please do give it a try. It's CrowdSource.com which I wrote about in another post. I initially failed the Junior Copywriter test but managed to pass that on the second try. Would like to try Textbroker but you need to be U.S. based. --- Update: I see that Textbroker U.K. is accepting Canadians. Wonder if we get paid by the pound -- that would be lovely with the exchange rate and all.

@AdrienneJenkins The funny thing is that I am a French speaking person!

Here is my BIG hug for you Adrienne. I have to take an Italian test and see if I can succeed. We lived so many years in France that we mix some words now.

@AdrienneJenkins I understand Spanish, but I do not speak it very well. If you consider Latin another language, we were obliged to study it when I was a student. I can read Latin.

Good luck. So, Anna, you're TRI-lingual? That's impressive. Or do you have any other languages, too.

I wrote on London Brokers for a while but luckily didn't have to do a test first. And here's a couple of hugs.

Adrienne with your winsome writing voice I bet you could make $500 a day being an amazon affiliate. I know a few who do. I'm a noobie there and am up to $15 a month lol. I have a job and put about 6-8hrs a week into amazon. You can affiliate for .ca and .com and as many others as you want. And here's a hug! :)

Sending you a big (((hug))). You should have just kept working and not randomly check...It might have worked If you didn't finish at least you might have gotten them right. I know you are disappointed so her's another (((hug)))

Here is a late hug. Zemandi does not make you jump through hoops. Maybe it doesn't pay at well.

Here's a very belated hug. I write for Textbroker but can't seem to above a 3 rating. Some people seem to do well there, mostly with the direct orders, I think.
