Does anyone else do paid surveys?

Things have started to suddenly feel very tight, and I’m literally desperate. I’ve been doing those paid market research surveys and making about £15 a day but everyone around me is horrified that I’m basically selling all of my data.

im not particularly arsed, but has anyone else done these and felt that they actually help out?

Companies already have most of your data anyway. As long as you are comfortable with the questions (and tbh most are along the lines of 'How often do you shop at Asda?') then I don't see a problem.

I think that's good. Anyway everyone else sells your data so why shouldn't you.

I’ve been doing them for years and can make £200 a month when I’m on it. I’ve had product tests and all sorts which are really fun. No downside apart from your own time. And some sites are slow to pay out.

Five Surveys is good because you do five to get £5 and they pay out instantly.

Hi I do some, I aim to make £5 a day, I can’t see the harm? It helps me a lot

I just think, if i manage to do £15 a day that’s about £450 a month. I’m keeping track of it all for tax purposes but my family seem to think it’s going to end badly
