Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

FYI I just got my £5.00 for the timed out AI study on 28th June - didn't get any email from the researcher but my balance went up by £5 and I went to check my submissions to see it now marked "manually completed" and the payment approved. I also did both those £7.50 AI ones this morning but haven't been paid yet, along with a £3.00 follow up one on a workplace scenario all in all hopefully a profitable morning.

My timed out submission for the AI Study has also been approved and, like you wibblewibble, it is now marked "manually completed" and the £5 payment approved.

Same here, noticed my balance had increased and mistakenly thought I had been paid for the other AI study from yesterday because I received an e-mail notification of the payment and only briefly glanced at it.

Glad we got paid, I was plotting in my mind what to do next if no payment received by Monday, ha, ha.

I've been paid too for this one. I'm pleased to see we all got the same outcome.

I’ve almost done a month of Prolific and I’ve earned £66, which I’m pleased about. I’m curious as to how much you guys average out to earning roughly  a month? I could have done more if there were notifications on my iPad. I’m not at my desktop much , hence why I missed a lot

I'm doing pretty well at the moment: my first 3 years I averaged around £50/month, but this year I've been averaging close to £100. Even last month, when I was away for 2 weeks, I made about £90. Already over £90 so far this month, if I include money I haven't cashed out yet.

Be careful.  If you earn more than £1000 in a year from survey sites, you have to declare it to HMRC.  See https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/make-money-surveys/.

I average about £60 a month, I think. Large parts of the working day are out, for obvious reasons, and at the weekend it’s just when I happen to look at my phone. So I do have to ignore a lot of invites, particularly the longer ones.
Swings and roundabouts though because if you do too many, they do tail off for a bit.

I average about £30/50 a month. I do miss quite a few that are PC only when I only have my iPad with me. And as I don’t have a web cam or mic on my PC that knocks out the odd one as well. I am always interested to never see any of the ones listed here! Guess I am not in that democratic group!

Varies a lot for me, some months £30 and others £100 maybe.  Luck plays a great part and whether studies appear when I have no other priorities.

It can be quite frustrating seeing a longer higher paid study appear, but having no time to complete it.

I do not have a webcam on my ancient Linux running Dell Vostro either so I also have to miss those.

Also as has been stated your demographics can play a great part in what you see on a daily basis.
