Question / Discussion Prolific Academic

Just hit my 2k total earnings with Prolific!
It's been quite busy since their updated their logo and I'm under the impression there are more short marketing surveys than before. Or is it just me?

Well done! I haven’t found it any quieter though? Still get plenty of studies…

I’ve still been getting quite a bit??

Mine has definitely gone quiet, maybe 1 per day now where as before maybe 5-6 per day

Maybe change some of the answers in your profile? In August I cashed out £73 and I’ve cashed out over £30 in September so far, and I don’t do every study that comes through, so I don’t know why you’re not getting many.

I do work on my laptop and I have it running in the background. If I was just doing it on my phone I wouldn’t make as much.

ahh I do slightly more than you then I cashed out 160 in august and only 56 so far this month, I will see more of a downturn due to the amount I usually do

That’s a lot! I wouldn’t worry

Has anyone managed to get the audio alert to work now they have changed to a .com address? It's not working for me on Chrome at all so I think I'm missing a lot of studies. Thanks

Mine is still working fine. I haven't changed anything, it just carried on working.

I tend to use FF and it's fine. I only use Chrome when it's specified in the brief so I can't say I've noticed (and today's prize for a totally unhelpful answer goes to Jute...)

Keep getting surveys that are offering ridiculous payments for the amount of time on offer. Just had one from China offering 10p for a 7 minute survey. I quickly reported it asking if they were having a laugh with the reward.

I am usually not bothered as I would just ignore but have had a large influx of these over the last couple of days.

 

[mikecmr]

i had one similar, had to laugh at it haha!

 

[Lemonade23]

Yep.... I did that 10p before realising!! I reported it but didn't get the rate increased like they often would have done in the past. I will make sure to check them more carefully I think!

The AI ones are good if anyone has them available, but take an hour so its a bit of a commitment to start one, you have to stick with it for the full hour.

I saw a good AI the other day offering £12.50 for 60 minutes. I was close to doing it but i'm always cautious as to whether they actually are 60 minutes or not!
