01 / The work

What you actually do

Prolific participants complete academic, business, product and AI research tasks matched to their profile. Joining is free, but a waitlist currently manages registration. Applicants must be over 18 and live in a supported country, then verify their account and identity. Tasks pay cash rewards, with PayPal cashout after a threshold. Eligible study supply varies by profile and time, so signing up does not guarantee approval or a steady task flow.
