FAQ
Questions people ask before they message
Short answers. If yours is not here, ask it on WhatsApp — a person will answer.
Is Fieldnote legitimate?
Fieldnote connects UK residents with remote research and testing tasks and never charges participants. Run us through the Offer Check on this site — we answer the same eight questions in public — and check the Legal page. If anything is missing there, we say so rather than invent it.
How much will I make?
We do not say, on purpose. UK advertising rules (CAP Code 20.4) forbid a new home-working scheme from forecasting earnings, and we think that rule is right. What we can do is show you what other platforms publish, with sources — that is the rate board.
Why WhatsApp?
Because it is the fastest way to talk to a human without creating an account. You write first; we never message anyone who has not messaged us. Email works too if you prefer.
Do I need experience?
No. You need a phone or laptop, a UK address, to be 18 or over, and to read questions carefully — failing attention checks is the main reason anyone is rejected.
When and how am I paid?
After a task is checked and approved, by bank transfer or PayPal. The pay for each task is written in the offer before you accept it. We never pay in gift cards or crypto.
Is this a job?
No. You are self-employed and take tasks one at a time. There is no salary, no minimum hours and no notice period. You can stop at any point.
What about tax?
The first thousand pounds a year of trading income is tax-free in the UK (the trading allowance). Over that, you register for Self Assessment. Our Tax & status page has the dates and the detail.
What data do you keep?
Only what is needed to match you with tasks and pay you. The privacy policy lists it. The planner and scam check on this site store their answers only in your browser.
Seen the market. Now ask us anything.
One message opens a chat with a person. Nothing to pay, no account to create, and you can leave at 'hello'.
