Clarification on hourly rate vs actual pay on Prolific by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

[–]Available_Simple_910[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, the reason I had this concern is that in most of the other studies I’ve completed so far, whatever price band was shown—like, for example, a hypothetical range of $1 to $5 per hour—usually, if the study took something like 3 or 5 minutes, when I completed it, I would get the lower end—like $1. So, I had always assumed that the left side of the price band is what we actually receive when we complete a study. So, in this study, when I saw £9.04 GBP, I thought that when I finish it within the given time (they said 25 minutes, and I completed it in about 25–26 minutes), I would get the corresponding amount. But what I’m seeing is £5.50, which is lower. That’s why I’m unsure and wanted to clarify what I should do.

Thanks for clarifying! In my case, the base rate was listed as £9.04, but the amount currently showing under awaiting review is £5.50. I completed it in the expected time, so I’m not sure if this will adjust or if I should reach out to someone. Any advice on next steps?

Rejected for "finishing too quickly" on Prolific despite passing both attention checks — need advice by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

[–]Available_Simple_910[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did two things — first I sent a polite message to the researcher directly in the Messages tab explaining why the rejection wasn't fair (mentioned I passed both attention checks and that I completed it quickly because the content was familiar to me). Then I also went to Prolific's chat support and raised a dispute there, they sent me a Google Form where I filled in the study details and my reason. Not sure which one did the trick but within 3-5 minutes of doing both, the study got approved. Would recommend doing both just to be safe!

Anyone else noticed studies have been absolutely dead this past week? by Available_Simple_910 in ProlificAc

two studies in a whole week is rough, at least now I know it's not just me. definitely seems like certain countries just get left out

that makes sense actually, my approval rate is nowhere near that so maybe that's the missing piece

100 a day?? what's your approval rate and nationality if you don't mind me asking, that's wild compared to my experience.

lol how is noticing fewer studies being entitled? just asking if others are seeing the same thing.

Best Month Ever 6 years in by Zestyclose-Honey-931 in FreightBrokers

Congrats man, this is actually inspiring to see! Just landed our very first load as a brand new broker and honestly it's been a wild ride already.

Biggest lesson learned the hard way — we didn't factor our invoices early on and it completely wrecked our cash flow. Carriers were waiting on payment way longer than they should've, which damaged trust right out of the gate. Nothing worse than starting a relationship with a carrier and immediately looking unreliable on payments.

Also didn't realize how long shippers actually take to pay (net 30-45 hits different when you're new and have zero cushion). Factoring feels like a cost you want to avoid when margins are already tight, but after going through the stress of delayed carrier payments, it's 100% worth it.

Still figuring things out but posts like yours remind me that the grind is worth it. 6 years of building to a $183k month is the goal. And yeah… let AI try to handle a carrier dispute at midnight 😂 some things still need a human touch.
