    Who Is 1Q For?

    If you're looking to conduct market research for your business or a project of some sort, 1Q offers a simple solution to get real-time insights for $1 per response.

    On the other hand, if you're looking for a way to earn a side income, 1Q provides the easy opportunity of getting paid to share your opinions.

    Requirements 🔎

    Minimum Age:13 years old
    Askers must be at least 18 years old to create and distribute surveys to Responders.
    Supported Locations:Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, United States
    Supported Devices:Android Phone, iPhone
    Although 1Q is available through the web for Askers (aka customers), Responders (aka earners) must have a mobile device in order to download the 1Q app and answer survey questions (aka Askverts) for cash.

    How Does 1Q Work?

    There are 2 types of users on 1Q: Responders and Askers.

    Here's how 1Q works for each of those user types:

    For Responders

    Responders (aka respondents, earners) can create an account for free through the 1Q website or by downloading the app. Keep in mind, even if you sign up via the website, you'll still need to download the app to start earning.

    When signing up, note that you'll need to provide a mobile phone number. This is for receiving mobile surveys and for verifying your identity. Also, be sure to use an email address linked to your PayPal account when signing up as 1Q will use that email for payments. You can change this email later by going to your profile settings.

    Once registered, you can start responding to surveys (aka Askverts). Each AskVert pays up to $0.25 (or $0.20 if you choose not to share your location data within the app) per question. Surveys are completed through the 1Q mobile app or over text message (SMS).

    Through filling out surveys, you may also be invited to other opportunities like mystery shopping (e.g. confirming a store display), focus groups, product testing, medical research studies, and more.

    Responders also have the opportunity to earn more money by inviting friends and family to the platform. 1Q pays $0.25 for each successful referral.

    Cashing out:

    Once you have at least $0.01 in your earnings balance, you can cash out via Charity Donations or PayPal. Payouts typically take 0 days to be sent out.

    Details for Responders 💰

    Work Type:Casual
    Income Type:Active
    Work Schedule:Flexible
    Workplace:Remote
    Minimum Payout:$0.01
    Payout Options:Charity Donations PayPal
    Payout Speed:Instant
    Payments are sent immediately after completing a survey.
    Pros:
    • No minimum payout. Payments are sent out to your PayPal immediately after completing a survey.
    • Questions are quick to answer
    • Flat rate of $0.20-$0.25 per question answered
    Cons:
    • Members will only receive payment for completing a FULL survey. 1Q does not pay if the survey is only partially completed.
    • Lack of questions which can make earning slow
    • Payout per question is lower if you don't share your location all the time
    Pros and cons are based on real 1Q Responder reviews.

    For Askers

    Askers (i.e., customers, businesses) can start getting real-time insights by signing up on the 1Q website and creating a new survey (aka Askvert). 1Q offers various Askvert question formats, such as:

    • Multiple Choice - Single Answer
    • Multiple Choice - Multi-Answer
    • Text/Open Ended
    • Offer
    • Ranking
    • Enhanced Net Promoter Score
    • Photo Response
    • Scale
    • Grid Question - Single Select
    • Image Comparison - Single Answer
    • Image Comparison - Multi-Answer

    Once the Askvert is created and sent out to 1Q Responders, responses are typically received within 20 minutes. From there, the response data can be reviewed and analyzed, and Responders can be re-contacted for additional questions -- or other opportunities like a local focus group -- if desired.

    Details for Askers 💼

    Commissions / Fees:$1 per response, regardless of question length and type
    Payment Options:Credit Card, Invoice
    $5,000 is the minimum purchase amount via invoice.
    Other Notes:Bulk-purchased credits expire if unused after 12 months.

    Quick one question survey to your text - simple, easy and fast

    Pros:

    Questions sent by text, instant reward, opportunities for other ways to make money such as mystery shopper

    Cons:

    It’s not been long enough to identify any negatives, it seems like a good platform

    0.25 cents for one question and it's instantly deposited.

    Rated 3 out of 5
    1 year ago

    You won't be able to make bank but it's 25 cents for one question so it's worth just having to build a little bit of change.

    Pros:

    It's bare bones. Answer one question. get $0.25.

    Cons:

    None

    Tips:

    When that notification pops up, make sure to answer the surveys asap.

    Quick questions and immediate payout, but limited earning potential

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    I like it, it's fast, the questions are variable and easy to understand, and there is no minimum payout so you can get your money immediately. The only problems with it are that you can only make money when you're sent questions, so you can't do it on your own time, and each question is usually only worth 25 cents.

    Pros:

    The questions are quick to answer and fairly regular, and payout is immediate to PayPal.

    Cons:

    The payout per question used to be a dollar but was changed a year or two ago to only 25 cents, so it's much less effective as a beermoney tool.

    Tips:

    Make sure you stay on top of your phone, as the questions can and will expire if you don't answer them in a timely manner.

    Make sure to fill out the demographic questions so the app knows which market research questions are applicable to you.
