  • After all the 500 errors and stuff I've had 26 studies this week, not known a week like it for at least a year. Hopefully you've all had a busy week too :)

    Oh dear, I honestly don't know how they work it. Probably my quota now for the next few months!

    I've not had that many, but those that I have had have paid reasonably well - such as another games survey yesterday for £4.

    I feel it more at this time of year because I am not working therefore I have more time to do surveys and want more surveys, but dont seem to get them....

    Shouty-voiced Prolific Assistant woman is driving me crackers today with her alerts for ghost surveys:mad: If I try to join any of them I just get the 'Waiting for surveys' message. Just had about 10 in a row for that 'Voice Recording on iPhone' thingy!

    I signed up to Prolific a about a month ago but for some reason it took them 2 weeks to verify my account. But once I got accepted and filled out all the "about me" stuff I was on a run that got me £21 from 15 approved surveys over the space of 2 days.

    But since then I've seen hardly anything. I was really pleased with the site but now I'm concerned it's going to have a huge drop-off in earning like qmee or SB after I've completed the initial run. It would be a shame, since the surveys are way more interesting than the "Scale 1-5 How much does this brand's synergy engage with you" surveys on other sites.

    Stick at it, it's feast or famine but I'm up to about 17 quid in 10 days, I joined in May
