How to apply for paid opportunities
Askable is a paid platform where you sign up for research and get paid for your opinion. 🤑 Here's the whole flow, start to finish.
Step 1 — Create an account at my.askable.com or via the mobile app, if you haven't already. See How do I join Askable?.
Step 2 — Apply in Explore. In the Explore tab, apply to opportunities relevant to you — think of it as an expression of interest. You'll answer a set of questions to work out if you're the right fit. Answer honestly and accurately, in line with our Honesty Policy.
Step 3 — Wait for review. ⏳ Researchers review applications. Studies need many different voices and demographics, so there are no right or wrong answers — just be honest.
Step 4 — Get invited (maybe). If you match, you may be selected and notified (set your notification method in Profile).
Being invited doesn't guarantee your spot — others may be invited too, and spots are limited. See I am on the waitlist.
Step 5 — Start or schedule. Begin a task right away, or accept the scheduled interview time. Note whether an interview is remote or in person and lock it into your calendar.
⭐ If a task takes you outside Askable, come back and mark it complete within 120 minutes of starting, or you may not be paid.
Step 6 — Attend. Join at the agreed time per the opportunity's instructions. For tips, see the Participant Etiquette Guide; to find your link, see I have not received my link. Third-party sessions send the link via Messages.
Step 7 — Get paid 😎 — see How to get paid on Askable.
🤔 FAQ
Why am I asked so many screening questions?
Some studies are more complex and need a few more questions to find the perfect match. We keep it as short as we can — more detail just helps make sure you're right for the study. See Why am I asked so many questions?.
Why didn't I get selected?
It's usually about study criteria and timing, not you — see Why am I ineligible. A complete profile improves your odds: How to Boost your Profile.
