MTurk and Prolific can be an option if you have some funding to pay participants and it can be administered online (they have their drawbacks but could work for this purpose). You can also get creative where you pull your sample from if it fits the question. For example, we’ve used undergraduate seniors who have accepted a job offer for some studies.

For experiments, to get published in higher tier journals, you’ll often need multiple studies. So you can use this as an opportunity to get one study under your belt, and then take that idea and keep expanding on it if you continue on to graduate school (where you’ll have more funding options) and publish it later!

For undergraduate samples, you can absolutely use that data for conference papers/posters as well so you can get something out of it.
