Do others know, perchance, of any subject pools that are open to Internet researchers, where a lowly researcher such as me might be able to list a study? I'm working with my own university's subject pool, but it's summer and they don't anticipate I'll recruit the number of subjects I need. It's going well with this pool so far, but I probably won't hit my numbers there. Looking for any other possible sources. Anyway, thanks to Fabio, Scott and to a couple of others who responded off-list. Fabio, I'll try out the Facebook lead ads!

Hi Galen, have you also tried Facebook lead ads ( https://www.facebook.com/business/a/lead-ads)?

Thanks -- to be clear, I'm not looking for my study to be blasted out, at least not without talking first about (1) what the population looks like and (2) working on the recruitment language. I shared the URLs in case people wanted to get a better sense of what the study/ies entail. Thanks for any and all ideas/leads/advice, though!

Hi Galen and AoIR,
I just shared your request, Galen, as a Minute as part of World University and School's open monthly business meeting process, as you'll see here -
http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/07/minutes-for-wuass-july-...
- along with some of WUaS's rationales for this, which include as you'll see: "In seeking to become the online Harvards of the Internet in all ~204 countries main languages (accrediting for free CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC BS/BA, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, as well as I.B. diplomas), this is also a model for how WUaS (and if I become an assistant professor in the MIT Media Lab too) may further seek social science samples for research in both courses and in various languages."
Thanks for this interesting and rigorous online social media study.
Sincerely, Scott

Hi all, for my dissertation I'm recruiting separate samples of Twitter and Facebook users for a multi-part study (see http://facebookstudy.berkeley.edu and http://twitterstudy.berkeley.edu). I'm having some luck with Twitter ads, and with my university's subject pool for Facebook, but am wondering if folks here might have ideas for recruiting more participants to help put me over the top (I'm hoping to end with usable samples of over 300 each).
I'm paying about $25 (plus a $500 Apple Gift Card drawing) for a total time of around 90 minutes, with the catch that the second part of the study involves downloading and using an app, which is a step that results in a fair amount of drop-off (despite my follow-up efforts, which only help on the margin). I've tried Mechanical Turk but there's too much drop-off. Craigslist also appears to be taking down anything that's not a face-to-face transaction, and my study is entirely online/Qualtrics/app. Facebook ads haven't worked at all for recruitment for me.
Anyway -- if your university subject pool is open to outsiders, or if you have a tip that's worked for you in the past, I'm all ears for any ideas!
Sincerely, Galen
