Scout & Runner: My 7-Day Update 📞
Scout & Runner has now been live for a full week, so I thought I'd share my experience so far.
Scout Earnings
Over the last 7 days I've:
- Reached my maximum Scout call allocation.
- Earned $8.64 (my 60% ULO share).
- No successful routes discovered yet. Even unsuccessful calls contribute to building the network and are rewarded.
A Big Improvement
One of the biggest improvements this week was the removal of the 3-minute wait for unsuccessful calls.
This has made the workflow much smoother, particularly if you're using a SIM with unlimited minutes.
I can now easily complete one SIM's full 48-hour allocation over a morning coffee.
Because of that improvement, I'm seriously considering adding a second pre-approved SIM next week to double my Scout earnings.
Runner Availability
At the moment there are no Runner tasks available for me.
This isn't unexpected.
Runner verifies routes that have already been discovered by Scouts, so as more Scouts discover routes, I'd expect Runner activity to increase over time.
First Impressions After One Week
After using Scout for a week, I'd say it's much easier than it first appears.
I'd still recommend reading the guides before starting, but once you understand the workflow it quickly becomes routine.
If Scout applications are open in your country, I'd recommend applying sooner rather than later because Scout places remain limited on a country-by-country basis.
Runner places are unlimited, and you can register as both a Scout and a Runner.
Total Earnings
My total earnings for the week were $8.92, with Telemetry being the only other task contributing to that figure.
With Entropy now launched and additional tasks planned for the near future, I'm looking forward to seeing how the earning opportunities develop over the coming weeks.
If you're thinking about getting started, I have licenses available, along with beginner guides and information about my referral program.
