I've earned a lot from doing Prolific surveys and tests, and they usually pay pretty quickly, depending on who's running that particular test. Many of the surveys/tests are quite fun. It's a highly re... See more

Only been using this site for a day since I last used it around five years ago. Seems similar if not better with a wide variety of engaging projects/surveys to work on.

This is a great site to earn a little extra money

This is a great site to earn a little bit of extra money. I haven't been using it long, but have a nice small pot of money.
The surveys are easy to understand and there are different ones you can pick from to do. I can't comment on the interview ones, as I haven't built up the confidence yet to do these ones.

I'm enjoying doing these surveys and would highly recommend it to any one who has a bit of time and wants to earn some extra cash over time.

I LOVE Prolific!

I was genuinely unsure of how my experience with go at first, I am a very cautious and skeptical person. I applied for Prolific, got approved instantly, and got right to work on the studies. There are a large number of qualifying questions to answer so as to cater the studies to your specifics and it is WONDERFUL. I have loved every minute of working with Prolific, and I woudn't dare go back. I cannot imagine not being a part of Prolific now.
