Happy 5th Birthday Prolific!

A big favourite among members of our GPT Genies Facebook Group, Prolific Academic are celebrating their 5th Birthday today! With surveys that are more interesting than the norm, great payouts (they recommend researchers set their pay to at least minimum wage) and instant cashout (after reaching £5) to Paypal, they’re a great addition to your GPT site portfolio. You’ll only be invited to surveys for which you actually qualify and they’ve really upped the ante of GPT sites since their […]

Prolific Academic now testing INSTANT Paypal cashout!

One of the bugbears most of us have about GPT and survey sites is the fact that once we’ve reached that hard earned cashout threshold, we then have to wait to receive our payment. Of course, in the case of sites such as InstaGC, this isn’t the case to a certain point, but with many sites a wait of up to 10 working days can be possible. Academic survey site Prolific previously took a middle ground on this subject, with […]

Prolific Assistant – Get alerted to new studies on Prolific

One of the biggest gripes in our Facebook Group about Prolific is the lack of studies, or missing out on studies.

There are various options out there to remedy this problem, but the easiest option on a desktop / laptop is the Chrome extension Prolific Assistant. The Prolific Assistant […]

An open letter to Prolific Academic

*** EDITED TO ADD: Credit where credit is due, Prolific reached out to me not only here but also on Reddit, Facebook and by PM and email, and their response was brilliant.
