In this post, I tell you about using the research site of askable. I tell you how to create an account, apply, and get paid. Also, this is free to use. You can get paid depending on the study amount. This can be either with gift cards or PayPal, depending on what you choose.

Create an account?

Go to askable.com. Click on create an account, and it's free. Sign up using your email, and you will get sent a code to your email. Then enter the code. Then go in and create your profile. Then go in and enter payment preference. You can use PayPal. You will get paid within a few days. You can also get paid with an Egift card. You will get it usually within a few minutes to your email account. 

Sign In?

You go to sign in, and if the computer remembers it because you didn't sign out then sign in and go to do what you need to do. If you did sign out, then next time you will sign in with your email, and then go to code. The code with go to your email, and you enter that to sign in. 

What do you do?

You can do a number of things when doing studies. This can be reviewing a website, zoom or video chat, or doing a task to give some information but nothing personal. You could also do a study in a group or focus group, as well as in person depending on the study. Some studies even offer a diary study for a period of time.

Refer a friend

Yes, you can but they don't have a referral program at the moment. So you will not get paid anything.

Deals and offers

Check this part on the website, but at times don't feel bad because like now, nothing could be available.

You can boost your profile by getting reviews, doing a video or voice over of what you do or why you choose me? Also, getting reviews, or testing your computer quality. You can add your career information or LinkedIn profile link.

Studies

The studies you can do are depending on what is available in finding opportunities. You will see the topic, and study. As well as the payment amount and time length. You go to the study and click on register now, then fill it out by answering everything the study asks, then click submit. If it's a task, you may get accepted right away. Which then complete the task, and you will get paid within 3 days. If it's a study, after you apply enter available time. Then the study will go to pending. If you are accepted, you will get a text, email, and message through askable, and this will be in upcoming studies. After the study is completed, the person doing the study will confirm you attended the study. Then you will get paid depending on your payment method in payment preferences. To see past studies, look at past sessions. You will see study, date, and amount. If you have any issues with payments or studies, contact support by going to help, and filling out form or clicking message pop up.

Notifications?

Yes, turn them on so you know when someone accepts or responds to a message. Also, so you know when to attend and when you get paid. You will also get notified for future studies you may be able to apply for.

Research Companies?

This site does allow research companies to be able sign up but is not free to sign up. The cost is depending on credits. The cost for you the researcher to post your project is 1.45 as you go or 0.90 for bulk, and askable will pay the client after the study is over unless you decline for whatever reason. But there's a catch to that as in you pay askable, and how you pay is by credits and the amount of that, then askable will pay the participant. Also, the setup fee is a 5-credit fee. Also, you choose which person is best for you. You can also recruit for clients for a project. Which the client pays to sign up and pays the research company if that option is used. So, I would recommend unless you are a company sign up as a participant which is free. You can message each person who applies with more questions if you have any questions. Could run into scams? Anything is possible, and if you do reach out to support. Support will respond as soon as possible. Same for companies and participants.

Book a demo?

You can by going to demo, submit your business information, and click submit. Then someone will reach out to you. You will get better clients or people to participate in your study, insight, and more. You will learn about that cost for your business. But if you are a research company, you definitely want to look into the demo and see how askable can help you.

I have been using askable with June and can say I like askable. The site is alright to use. I apply to a lot but don't always get chosen. I have gotten paid for every study I have completed. I did have one issue, as I did get choose for a VPN study, which I use something free on my phone, so I went to the study, and after 15 minutes I was finished, and the study was supposed to be 90 minutes. I was declined, and not paid. I was really frustrated. I reached out to support, and the study was supposed to be a 35$ study, but askable paid me like 19$. So, I was fine with that. So, I would recommend askable, and you give them a chance when you are ready, and did I tell you, but I know it's free to sign up.

Now you know why I work with askable, and what you can do. You also know the studies, and payment options to get paid. Also know my experiences and stuff. So, you're looking to make extra money, then click the link, askable. You have learned what the researchers get by using this site. You also learned how much a research company will pay, and a client will pay that is recruited. So, after reading all of this, go ahead and sign up. You never know how much you can make.
