How much money does Scottie make?
While researching this profile, I looked at all the Naming Contests listed on Squadhelp for the past 7 days.
There were 33 winners listed for that week, and their earnings ranged from $100 to $300.
Sometimes multiple winners are picked for a single contest, in which case the prize money is split between them.
For example, the two winners of this contest would receive $67.50 each…

By my calculations, her earnings work out to $2,758/month since joining Squadhelp in May 2018.

And it’s no wonder, since Squadhelp claims to have 70,000+ freelance naming experts on their platform…
…and it’s not unusual for a contest to have 100’s of entries…
Given all that, it seems Squadhelp is probably best for earning a little extra income on the side, and not great for earning a full-time living online.
Our goal at eBiz Facts is to give you accurate information about online business so you can gain clearer insights, make better decisions, and achieve your own success.
With that in mind, we strive to ensure the accuracy and transparency of the income claims and estimates that you see on this website.
Here’s how:
- We treat all income claims we find online with skepticism.
- We don’t report incomes that seem especially controversial or unrealistic.
- We cite our sources and/or share our calculations so you can see where the numbers come from.
- If there are uncertainties about an income claim or estimate, we tell you what those are.
If you see an income claim or estimate that seems off, please tell us so we can fix it.
