Overview

DataAnnotation is a well-established platform paying contributors to write and review training data for large language models, with a strong coding track. It is straightforward to use and pays reliably, though availability fluctuates. We cover it in full despite it having no affiliate programme, coverage depth is never tied to commission.

How it works for UK contributors

You complete an initial skills assessment. If accepted, you're offered coding and writing tasks through the platform dashboard. Each task has clear instructions and a per-task or per-hour rate. Completed work is quality-reviewed and paid out on a regular schedule.

Acceptance tips

Pass the initial assessment carefully, it determines your eligibility and starting project pool. Coding contributors should expect algorithmic and debugging questions. Keep your first submissions clean; quality scores gate access to higher-paying batches.
