I am a CMO with nine years in paid media on Meta, Google and TikTok, SEO, influencer marketing and funnels. For most of my career I have sat on the buyer’s side of the market: the company that pays for attention and for customer feedback.
I started LazyBounty in 2026 after looking for paid research studies myself and finding that every platform had to be checked separately, while the best spots were gone within a day. The service gathers open studies from several sources into one feed every hour and is free for participants.
I write the blog from what I see in our database: how many studies appear, what they pay, how long they stay open. Facts about the platforms themselves come from their official help pages, with a link to the source. I post numbers from building the service on X.
What Illia does at LazyBounty
- decides which sources join the feed and checks each platform’s terms
- reviews the paid research index numbers every week
- writes and updates platform reviews, comparisons and guides
- answers participants’ emails at [email protected]
