I did that yesterday and got sent it again earlier today.elsien said:Just did a short £3 AI one which was paid as soon as I submitted.
More of those please.
Had a quick look and saw the AI topics were different today so thought I’d risk doing it again. Approved straight away so an easy £6 for both.1 -

I completed two AI studies as well on the weekend from 'Joe from Pie Platform' and like others I was paid immediately.A very productive weekend all around with seven studies completed in total, let us hope this keeps up for the week ahead.1

Approved straight away so an easy £6 for both.I experience periods like this as well and then all of a sudden things seem to pick up, hopefully you will be the same.Very frustrating though when you see others getting studies and you don't and it is obviously more than just demographics behind it at times.2 -
I received a really welcome message from the Researcher this morning. He said he had received my drawings, they were fine, thanked me for participating and approved my submission.Deleted_User said:Thanks Sapindus. I'll send the Researcher a message. There was a significant similarity between my two drawings but my effort was definitely not good - not at all. I'll see what the Researcher says and post back if any update.
Of course I am very pleased. Thank you for prompting me to contact the Researcher, Sapindus.0 -
It’s the algorithm they use as well, to try to balance things out. I’ve been on holiday for a week so didn’t do any at all - I think that in part that’s why I’ve had a load suddenly pop up.yupiteru said:Makingabobor2 said:

Pedant alert - it's could have not could of.4 -
Did one earlier that you needed to have Facebook and eBay for. It did say in the instructions that if you did anything else during the survey you wouldn’t get paid.Then it had a bit which I read as saying you would be redirected to Facebook so I did open up another tab to check if I could get into Facebook because I was on my work laptop.They let me answer all the questions and then after I answered them all I’ve got a rejection message saying I haven’t met the criteria. Not happy because they should’ve shut down the survey at the point I opened up another tab not left it till the end got all the information and then closed it down.
Messaged the researcher but not holding my breath.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I've had an email this morning - apparently I'm going to be paid £16 for a tatty sunhat that I spent £5 on originally. That's a bit of a bonus! (Shame it didn't go for the £100).Sapindus said:
The only smartphone I have access to is my work one which I didn't really want to use, so I used my proper camera and it was easy enough to upload.yupiteru said:Decision-Making Survey
By pitt.edu£2.50 • £9.97/hr15 mins207 placesThis is an academic survey.
You will be asked to photograph an object and upload it. Thus, before proceeding, please ensure you are in your home and have access to a smartphone.
A bonus payment (of at least £0.5) will be granted to all valid responses.
Interesting idea for a study and I am glad that my flash works OK on my phone camera, as it was pitch black here when I took the photo of the object specified.
It did take a bit of hand acrobatics mind you, as you had to include one of your hands in the photo as well, I assume to prove that you did not download the image from the web, but as I discovered, my phone camera shutter button is not well placed for one handed operation.
It is 6.30 am at present and this is the second study completed this morning so far and I hope that the trend continues, as it has been very slow all week for me.
I have to say though, for reasons I can't share out of fairness to the researcher, that i really wish I had chosen something else to photograph! Those who have done it can probably guess why!#2 Saving for Christmas 2024 - £1 a day challenge. £325 of £3662 -
Work Experience
By Behavioral Lab UST£1.75 • £6.86/hr15 mins0 placesParticipation in this study involves answering a series of questions, including questions about yourself (e.g., how old you are).This study took me 25 mins to complete and I left a note in the feedback section at the end to that effect.No doubt many will complete the study quicker, but I like to take my time and not make any silly mistakes and as I have previously stated, I copy and paste as I go along in case of memory attention checks.
