Hi , Welcome to the Members Area!
Find participants with SurveyCircle
How it works ➔ To get participants for your survey, you must first take part in surveys run by other SurveyCircle members.
Why is that? - Mutual support is the core principle of SurveyCircle. Only those who help others in the community can get help in return.
Step-by-step guide:
1. Publish survey on SurveyCircle
2. Support others & receive participants:
Is your survey still in preparation?
No problem! You can also collect points before posting your study on SurveyCircle. The earlier you start collecting points, the better because your study will immediately be ranked higher in the Survey Ranking from the start.
Tip: Do you want to find participants faster? Then ask your friends, family members, and colleagues if they would like to earn points for you as Research Enthusiasts.
- Click on Post a Survey and enter the details of your survey.
- Insert the Survey Code of your survey on the last page of your questionnaire. We'll provide you with the Survey Code as soon as you need it.
- Publish your survey in the Survey Ranking.
2. Support others & receive participants:
- Go to the Survey Ranking and participate in surveys. After each survey participation, redeem the Survey Code displayed on the last page of the questionnaire. This will earn you points for your participation (→ Video Tutorial).
- The more points you earn, the higher your survey will climb in the Survey Ranking.
- The higher your survey climbs in the Survey Ranking, the more attractive it becomes for potential participants - and the more people participate in it. The reason for the phenomenon: The higher your survey is ranked in the Survey Ranking, the more points others receive for participating (see the column Incentive Points in the Survey Ranking).
