How much can I earn as a panelist?

Earnings vary by study type. Paid surveys range from $1-$20+, while research studies typically pay $100-$300+. Payment depends on the study length and the complexity of the study.

What's the overall process after I join?

It's simple: Complete your profile (only unpaid survey) → Receive invitations for paid surveys and studies (we only contact you about paid opportunities) → Participate in research → Get paid within 1-4 days → Repeat. Occasionally, you'll be asked to maintain your profile to keep receiving relevant opportunities.

How often will I receive research opportunities?

Frequency depends on your profile and available studies. Some participants receive multiple opportunities per month, while others may get fewer based on matching criteria.

Can I choose which studies to participate in?

Absolutely. You'll receive invitations for relevant opportunities and can accept or decline based on your interest and availability.

When do I get paid?

Payment is processed within 1-4 business days after study completion. We use secure payment methods and require identity verification before your first payment.

How long does the initial profile take?

The initial profile survey takes about 10-20 minutes. This is the only unpaid survey and helps us match you to relevant paid opportunities.

Why is it important to keep my profile accurate?

Research requirements vary greatly - sometimes we need users of specific software, other times we specifically need people who DON'T use that software. We might look for report consumers, data managers, visual designers, or countless other specific roles and experiences. Accurate profile information ensures we can match you to studies where you truly qualify, leading to better research outcomes and more opportunities for you. Honest, detailed responses help us find the perfect fit for each study.

How do I keep my profile current?

Every 3-6 months we'll ask you to review and update your profile information. This quick process (just a few minutes) ensures we continue matching you to relevant opportunities. You'll simply review the information you've already provided to confirm it's current and accurate. Occasionally, we may add new profile questions to help us improve our matching. While this brief review is unpaid, it is quick and helps ensure you receive the most relevant paid opportunities.

Why do I need to verify my identity?

Identity verification helps us maintain panel quality and prevent fraud. You'll need to verify your identity before receiving your first payment, but you can participate in studies before completing verification (although your chances are lower). This one-time process typically takes just a few minutes and helps ensure all participants are legitimate professionals.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. Your identity remains anonymous to research clients. We use industry-standard security measures and never share personal details with third parties.
