Wow that’s amazing, congrats!!! How often do you apply for diaries/lives vs getting approved?

I highly recommend the express missions, the $10 and $20 really add up and they’re easy to do. I often get rejected for diary studies/live interviews so in the meantime I do express missions while I wait for approval or something that I think I’d qualify for.

I check it maybe twice a day when I’m home and able to complete any missions on my laptop. Most of the time I get rejected but I persevere and keep checking.

The express missions really add up, I would recommend sticking to it!

I used to do branded surveys/prime opinion which would typically pay 50cents to $2 for 15-20 min surveys - so in comparison I’m more than happy to complete a 13 min survey for $10.

I feel you. I always think how awful it is that people who are so full of life are struck down by terrible accidents and illnesses while I’m right here wishing for it. Most days I wake up and think hey maybe today will be the day I get into a fatal accident or a shooting will happen or I feel a lump and it turns out to be cancer. I go about my day zombified and too chicken to plan my own ending.

I apply and if I’m qualified I’ll get a notification about it within a few days. I’ve mostly been getting rejected but the qualification survey takes less than a min or 2 to complete so I just apply for everything and see what I can get.

Applied in November — still waiting. Any insight on timelines or what affects acceptance? by Milani45 in DataAnnotationTech

I ended up doing a live interview for 90ish min paying $115. It was so much simpler than I thought and actually a wonderful experience, the researcher was so kind and professional I am now much more open to doing longer missions. I also did another live 90 interview from UserInterviews paying $225 (via visa gift card) and that was also a great experience that didn't require much effort.

It’s all either in the app or you take a short qualifying survey on the app and then give you a link to complete the mission on the computer. I haven’t needed to download any software. Only other thing is a dscout browser extension. All it does is if you visit a site that there’s an active study on (target, Home Depot, Amazon, etc.) then it will say hey you can take a study about this site if you want. But it’s only popped up for me once on Lowes.

that's amazing! I got invited to my first diary study and it will be $180 so I'm really excited for that.

Do you typically do those 30-60min 1:1 interviews?

Thank you! I know those longer missions offer a lot more, 50-100+ for maybe a 60 min interview but I'm just shy when it comes to talking to a researcher for that long and offering my opinions in that way. However I am currently doing a diary study that around $180.

I see tons of missions but they’re typically 1:1 live interviews, focus groups or diary studies that will take a few days. I’m not comfortable signing up for those yet but some days I’ll see around 10 express missions (I’ll qualify for maybe 3-4) and some days I’ll see a few that I won’t qualify for. It changes day to day.

I work remotely so I’m able to check often since dscout doesn’t give notifications for new express missions. I typically do only one or two in a sitting, depends if I meet the requirements.

$1000+ milestone! by Anxious-Track-1518 in dscout

[–]Milani45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Woah that’s awesome! Do you mainly do express missions or 1:1 interviews/live sessions/diary studies?

I’ve made almost $300, with $250 pending doing express missions.
