07/30 - Magical Money Monday

[klingeemonster]

Nice 50 dollar day, no one seemed to want to do those AdForce hits in the new format, so I got more than the usual this time.

@C to the J Never got back to you about the bonuses, did she?

Don't think it's gonna happen.

 

[TheUnclubbableGamer]

Yea I did more than 5 too, but I stopped now. I think we'll be fine, but I hope we will be able to get the qual this is for.

I did 12 earlier and got this.

I did 28 and got the qual. I also had a question and got an almost immediate response. Hopefully, there will be a pay increase; because it sucks now.

Did you get that after they were approved?

 

[Michele]

These were fun, I wish there were more. I was busy earlier.

Mine have not approved; but I did sent the requester an email about a specific job and maybe they checked my work at that time.

No, they're all still pending for me.

SurveyComet pro tip: It is not extremely hard to predict what happens in July when July is almost over.

...I feel like you're cheating
but, on the other hand, they ARE still predictions..

It is actually slightly harder than I make it sound, since some of the data sets obviously have a lag time in reporting.
I really don't know who's behind that though, and they might be interested in how and whether the predictions converge as the closing date nears. I'm sort of assuming it is one of the "alphabet" agencies...

a nice $60 day for me as well. Got lucky to pick up a couple of HITs that were $5+. I needed a good day after being stuck in bed for 36 hours with some nasty bug that PUT. ME. DOWN. It really wasn't fun.

 

[AlexDroog]

Has anyone else kind of given up on Prolific Academy? They were pretty awesome when I first started this making money online thing but have since gone downhill. Lol, you know who I started doing surveys for? Inbox dollars. OMG, I put so many hours into getting a $30 gift card for amazon, SO MANY HOURS. and then they delayed payment for like 3 weeks. Lol, I've learned so much since then.

I just got here. What HIT/requester is this?

 

[JenniLeigh]

Oh shit, I forgot to pause my PC when we went to eat o.0

In the past week, they have enforced use of their new site design, and this has cause a lot of problems for me, at least. That will sort itself out. The other thing to keep in mind about Prolific is that they explicitly push to researchers the idea that they can exclude people who have done a given number of studies. So basically if you are really making out in your early days on Prolific as a respondent, your numbers are liable to drop after that, even if you aim to maintain the same level of activity. But since they seem to be fairly serious about enforcing some minimum wage, I think they are generally pretty good.

I hate it when I do that. Last week I fell asleep without pausing my catcher. Woke up in the middle of the night to pee, had like $30 worth of HITs in my queue with a bunch of others expired. Had to return them. I was just too tired to even think about sitting there and doing them in the middle of the night.

I'm always paranoid they can see/secretly judge us for expired shit lmao

yeah, they are really good about paying right. And we make out on the exchange rate. But I've never made any serious dough from them. I put it down to the fact that I'm in a really common demographic - 30's, white, American. There are about 5 million people of that same demographic ready to do surveys for money.
