Hi , Welcome to the Members Area!

Finding participants – here's how it works

To find participants through SurveyCircle, you first need to publish your survey in the Survey Ranking. All you need is the link to your survey.

1. Publish survey
  • 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. After publishing:
  • 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 greater attractiveness: The better your survey is ranked in the Survey Ranking, the more points others receive for their participation (see the column Incentive Points in the Survey Ranking).

Tip #1: 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.

Tip #2: Of course, you can also collect points before you post your study on SurveyCircle. The earlier you start collecting points, the better it is, because then your study will immediately be ranked higher in the Survey Ranking from day one. And the earlier you start collecting points, the more time you have while your study is running.

More attention for your study

Our recommendations for posting your study on social media

Step 1: Join our Survey Groups on Social Media

Step 2: Post your study in the groups:
  • Insert the original link to your study and the SurveyCircle link to your study in your posts. You can find the SurveyCircle link under My Survey as soon as your study is online on SurveyCircle.
  • Tag @SurveyCircle in your posts.

Step 3: Post your study outside the groups:
  • For best visibility, you should also post your study outside of groups, e.g. on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook.
  • We also recommend inserting the original link and the SurveyCircle link to your study in your posts and tagging us with @SurveyCircle.

Step 4 (Insider tip): To make your study stand out even more, you can insert our free social media images in your posts (see examples on Twitter and Instagram). In order for us to create a free set of images for you, you will need to participate in at least one other survey through SurveyCircle and redeem the associated Survey Code. If you don't receive the images by email within 24 hours even though your study is online and you have redeemed at least one Survey Code, please check your spam folder.

Step 5 (Secret insider tip): Once you have participated in at least one study through SurveyCircle, you will automatically benefit from these additional advantages:
  • We'll post your study on Twitter and Reddit
  • We'll send your study to 10,000+ subscribers of our New Studies Newsletter
  • We'll present your study on the SurveyCircle micropage of your university and your university's city (only possible if you're conducting an academic study and your university is listed here)

The Basic Rules on SurveyCircle

  • Rule #1: Fill out all questionnaires truthfully and conscientiously (i.e. take your time to fully comprehend questions and possible answers, to read scenario descriptions, to fill in text fields, etc.).
  • Rule #2: Participate in studies only when you meet the participation criteria.
  • Rule #3: Redeem Survey Codes only if you have earned them in compliance with the rules.
  • Rule #4: Redeem Survey Codes directly after completing a study.
  • Rule #5: Rate the quality of studies objectively and in a differentiated way.
  • Rule #6: Do not share Survey Codes with others.
  • Rule #7: Do not use multiple user accounts.
  • Rule #8: Do not let anyone use your user account to participate in studies.
  • Rule #9: Do not use rule violations by others to your advantage.

SurveyCircle is based on honest mutual support. To protect this basic principle, we use quality assurance systems that enable us to reliably identify rule violations. Those who break the rules and thereby act at the expense of others will be excluded from the platform.
