 Unless you are a star blogger with hundreds upon hundreds of regular readers, it doesn´t make much sense to use your own blog to recruit participants. It is a viable strategy, however, to publish the URL of your survey in a popular blog -- of course, with asking the blog author(s) for permission beforehand.
 ===== Specific platforms =====
-Certain webpages and blogs collect, publish, and discuss links to scientific studies for certain topics. On those online platforms, one can often reach people who are interested in surveys and in science in general. The potential response rate largely depends on the overall traffic of the respective website, however.
+Several online services are now available, in which project managers ( predominantly students) are available to each other as respondents. The feedback on these services varies greatly, therefore we recommend that you discuss the use of such a platform with your supervisor in advance when writing your thesis.
-**Note:** The following services target German respondents. Please let us know, if you know about more platforms.

 Sometimes, you even get the chance to publish the link to your survey on a professional website or magazine. If you have an interesting topic and a professionally designed questionnaire, it is not unheard of that even newspapers, magazines or big communities are willing to collaborate with you.
 With a bit of luck, the participants of your survey are even representative for the users of the website in general. In either case, this allows you to gather really huge samples.
+===== Amazon MTurk =====
+In the field of psychological experiments, Amazon's [[https://www.mturk.com/|MTurk]] microtask platform enjoys a certain popularity -- especially for English-language surveys, because if you want to recruit only German-speaking participants via the platform, Amazon immediately charges extra fees on top of the regular fees and compensation for participants.
+The quality of the data collected via MTurk is debatable. But if desired, here are instructions on how to connect to SoSci Survey: [[:en:survey:mturk|Amazon MTurk]].
+===== Commercial Panels =====
+Commercial panel providers are often used in the field of market research. These maintain email lists of potential participants, can often implement quota plans when inviting them, and of course charge a fee for this service.
