Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

Smodlet

I have just had a message from a researcher, as far as I know the first since this new site was inflicted on me. A tiny, little red dot appeared on the tiny, little envelope icon; a blind man would be glad to see that! I almost missed it. This new site is anything but an improvement, imo.

When I had a message from a researcher the other day, Smodlet, I also got an email notification - did you not get one of those?

Smodlet

Yes, thank you, AprilLady, I did... I don't always check emails promptly. Just ignore me. Smodlet stoopid.

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.

Same here. Fully Completed my profile and straight away they sent me a dozen surveys in one day! I got excited! and then they suddenly stopped sending me any.

You should still get surveys but you are unlikely to continue getting that many. I had a glorious 4-5 months last year when i first joined with multiple surveys every day, then after that it really dropped off dramatically. Its not bad at the moment - the last few months I have managed to cash out about £20 a month but at first I was doing that in a week or less. I have done 650 odd studies though and I still like them a lot better than all those market research sites.

Just did a £7 "who is most likely to be the murderer" study. Approved instantly. Wouldn't mind a few more like that.

Got this... Only it does not work - Must be suspended or something.

Anyone having problems reserving a spot on surveys....I keep getting a error message are I click on the reserve button but the support link isn't working either highly frustrating when I see there are three surveys available yet I can't get on any of them xx

I am having trouble reserving a spot on a study... Hope your surgery goes well, Abba1772.

I can't join a "How much are you willing to pay for personal data?" study that also won't leave my homepage...
