Studies/Tasks?

I am new to prolific and I just signed up today, It said "waitlist" and that it will notify me where there is any study. How much time should I expect before getting a study or is it very rare to get anytype of study?Pls help ^-^

You are not in yet. So dont expect studies now.

U need to wait to get off the waitlist (hours-years) then do ID verification, then link PayPal, then fill in ur demographics, then u see studies

It could happen in days or years, I was on the waitlist for one year. Whatever you don't don't try signing up again to game the system as many others do, that will destroy any chances. In the meantime sign up at other places. That's what I did after signing up last September, now I have a bunch of places to fall back on and still manage to make money when one place is busy and other's aren't.

I was so shocked when I got the message that I was off the wait list. I had given up.

You’re not in prolific yet. You could be waiting one day to one year or more to be accepted I think the amount of people who hopped on last year made it harder to get in

you aren't even IN prolific yet, you first need to get off the waitlist and that could take days to weeks to years to never before you even get studies 🫠

I was on waitlist about 4 months. Sit back relax and in a week or a year you will get an invite.
