So far it all seems great

So far it all seems great. The questionnaires are decent and the payments are fair. I have not attempted a withdrawal yet, but if that goes seamlessly, I will give 5 stars

Out of all the survey sites I've tried…

Out of all the survey sites I've tried over the years, Prolific is the best in terms of quality and payout. I rarely get screened out, and I can usually tell by the description if it's not applicable to me instead of wasting my time. Earnings per survey vary a lot of course, but even the small ones (a few cents to a few dollars) are worth doing, as they're not typically time consuming, and they add up quickly.

When I first started using it I was between jobs. I kept the site up on one side of my monitor, and just browsed or played games until a new survey came up. Which they do frequently! When signing on in the morning there would be dozens, and after getting through them all they would regularly come in before slowing down at night. I was disciplined about it, and earned around $80 a week. Now I just do it when I have time and am in the mood, and can still pull in $10-25 a day. It connects to PayPal and I can cash out in a few minutes, no waiting.

The only downside is the waiting list. I don't know if it's changed since I signed up, but you can be waiting for a few weeks or even months, since the demand for new users is based on what demographics researchers are looking for.

All in all, I would highly recommend signing up even if you don't need it right now, because you never know when it might come in clutch for you later, or just give you some cool spending money/extra savings.

Prolific survey review

Surveys had clear instructions and easy to use. The only thing so far I would recommend is not limiting surveys to desktop only. I have to skip those because my desktop is slow, my tablet and phone work best for me.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! I’ve made 133$ and I’ve only been playing since early April! You can make even more than me because I took multiple breaks. They have surveys ranging from 17-40$ I just completed a 17$ survey and I actively can cash it out! This will be my third time!

I like how everything is…

I like how everything is straightforward and isn't hard to do. But I'm confused as to how and why the money I earn is taking so long to go on my balance. Other than that I really like Prolific.
