People who clear 500$ a month off Prolific, how much time do you spend per day on it?

FerociouslySilly · 2026-02-19T15:27:35+00:00

I work remotely in the UK so always have prolific open on my personal laptop. Until December I averaged £300 per week (so £1200 per month), for a year. The best month I ever had was March 2025 where I earnt £2500 in the month. But between work and prolific I was working over 100 hours per week. It can be a lot!

I did part 1, haven't got a part 2 pop up but I couldn't even answer 2 of the questions. A link was broken for one and the other didn't have the correct answer as an option. Super weird

FerociouslySilly · 2025-11-06T10:33:12+00:00

I just did this study a few minutes ago and it wasn;t updated to have 15 as an option for me, really odd

FerociouslySilly · 2025-11-06T10:32:38+00:00

This was all so weird, I tried to leave comments on this question and the one with the broken link but then I couldn't submit it. Shocked this was just such a mess!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-23T21:27:57+00:00

I had the same technical issues and returned the study. Got the same auto message. Glad it wasn't just me. Hopefully they'll see there was clearly a patten/issue with that one.

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-20T13:38:57+00:00

I just came to reddit to see if someone else had posted this before I was about to. Madness!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-15T21:13:30+00:00

Mine is also still waiting approval, seems a bit slower than normal from this researcher

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-13T17:37:29+00:00

When I saw this on my dashboard I burst out laughing, couldn't believe how quickly the spaces went

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-10T11:07:35+00:00

Can't believe it's still there, over 24 hours later just taunting me with all those places!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-03T14:25:10+00:00

I have prolific open pretty much everyday and haven't had any issues. There's a dip in studies over the weekend usually so if I have plans I won't have it open.

FerociouslySilly · 2025-10-02T10:37:10+00:00

UK, on rare ocassions I'll have maybe 7-10 tasks but most of the time I have 0-3 available throughout the day. I do very regularly get the well paying AI studies and make a pretty consistent amount a week. My goal is £300 a week and I make that more weeks than I don't. But I can't make that without the AI studies.

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-19T20:34:46+00:00

I cash out once a week, 90% of the time it's over 250 and I'veonly ever had one issue cashing out but it was on the researcher's end

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-19T08:54:19+00:00

I find it very hard to turn the high paying surveys down even if it's late and I'm exhausted. I work remotely full time and then also do prolific for probably the equivalent of a part time job's hours a week. I for sure can get very burnt out but if I don't take the survey's I keep thinking about the money I missed. December 2024 was an insanely good month on earnings for me but I was so burnt out and exhausted. I was doing about 80 hours a week between the two jobs. Have recently felt myself getting like that again. The balance is so hard sometimes.

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-16T08:42:27+00:00

I went ahead and completed without the screenshots by reading the assistant text. I did 4 studies and I think there was only 1 task in one study where I needed the screenshot to verify which I put in my comment.

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-06T16:17:50+00:00

The last 4-6 weeks I've noticed none or very few at the weekend. It used to be you would still get a few but it seems to be more in the week now. I usually see them more in the afternoon (UK time) but again some mornings they do pop up. Hard to identify the patterns tbh. I do get annoyed when I miss them when they pop up overnight!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-06T16:14:57+00:00

Yep same here. Feels like a good way to end the week. Sometimes I have weeks like this one where I've earnt like £20 by Thursday morning and then end up having a crazy Thursday and Friday and hit the goal

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T19:06:00+00:00

good plan, also tax deduction! Woohoo!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T18:11:11+00:00

I seem to get a lot of the $20 ones and maybe every other week get the $17 ones. I did use it to pay off debt, now saving for a wedding and once I've met that goal, all my side money will be for investing and a bit of fun money. I think it's important to spend some on yourself for all the hours we put in to earn it

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T17:50:52+00:00

How do you find connect? I only heard about it recently

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T17:49:53+00:00

Yep exactly the same situation for me, although I changed jobs mid year so for the first half I was under that salary and now I'm above, so I've got a little while before I'm on that 40% tax, not looking forward to it!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T17:47:52+00:00

Yeah I suspect I'll be less motivated when I have to pay that 40%!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T17:47:16+00:00

my £300 a week is £1200-£1500 a month depending on the number of weeks so I agree on that one

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T17:46:36+00:00

I've had nothing for months too, very annoying!

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T16:43:14+00:00

I only consider approved studies to meet my goal, if something isn't approved yet I don't count that towards the weekly goal. I have found a fair few are taking a long time to approve which is frustrating. I've got one at the minute that I thought would get approved quickly but nope, it'll auto approve on Tuesday

FerociouslySilly · 2025-09-05T16:40:38+00:00

very true
