My 14 year old daughter is looking for work and there isn't a lot of it about, one thing she is considering is filling in surveys online. Does anyone have experience of this? We were a bit worried about her having to fill in her address.

Well DD2 tried this and you get points for each survey that can be cashed in for money BUT most of the time she would start the survey only to be told she wasn't the right category that they needed at that time or instead of points you would be entered into a prize draw She was registered with reputable market research companies but it seems impossible to actually make any money out of it.

Thanks, I will pass that on to her.

I do these surveys, and have so far collect £50 and am half way to another £50. However I am 18 and therefore can answer the questions. Your daughter is 14, the most she can do is paper round because legally places cannot employ her.

My 17 year old does YouGov surveys. He gets about £1.50 for each one he does, and he gets sent about one a week. He won't actually get any money till he's done £50 worth, but he's well on the way to his first £50. It's not really a money-maker.
Some of them are quite interesting though.

Just to add - YouGov don't ask for your address.
