Paid online surveys

[cherrymauve]

Do you do them? I’m thinking it’s a better use of time than doom scrolling. Even it’s just earning £10 a week.
Which companies do you recommend? And what approximately do you earn from them in a week/month?
Thanks. Really appreciate your response.

Yougov is £50 before you can claim, probably every 9 months.
https://onepolluk.questionpro.eu probably about £20 every month to 6 weeks.
Opinium is £25 to withdraw about 3-4 a year.
Prolific although not as good as it used to be is the biggest earner (and most interesting and varied). Can cash out at £6. You often have to go on a waiting list for this one (but definitely worth it).
Also some of the survey companies are searching for certain people a few years ago I did a survey for about 50p but it then lead to an annual survey which takes place every January and I get payed £50 for about 10 min a day over 7 days. I got signed up for one where I do a survey every day and it works out about £5 every 4-5 but literally takes 30 seconds. I do another one that takes about 2 minutes a day for 7 days once a month and they also pay £5. So although only small amounts it can add up over the year.

Prolific pay quite well but they dump a lot of people after a while. Qmee for quick cash outs, some surveys are good. Some are scammy

I tried Prolific and nine times out of ten I’d spend 5-10 minutes going through the screening questions only to be rejected. That could happen for five consecutive attempts in an afternoon, could spend nearly an hour trying to be accepted for a survey, while they’re harvesting a shedload of data about me for nothing in return. I gave up, and now just do a couple of YouGov surveys each week.

I forgot Qmee, I had that on an old laptop. I read advice to claim the balance daily, often it was only something like 17p!

Yes they used to be good but I've read that the owner is allegedly ruthless. They used to be good & I'd get quite a few surveys but maybe they're spoilt for choice now. I tried Qmee today. That's gone downhill too, lots of rejections and lying about eg how long a 20 p survey will take, eg says 5 mins but it's more like 25 +. They seem to freeze too or crash at the end so you don't get your money. I do Shoptalk too for points I convert to Amazon vouchers. Again, gone downhill imo.

I do 5surveys and make about £10 a week. Do a couple a day when I’m bored.

I get very few screenouts on Prolific and for reference I've earned just under £700 in about 18 months, doing maybe 10 at most a week, sometimes 3 or 4 in one day, sometimes nothing for a few days. I've also heard they can ditch people but I've not had many rejections either so it seems to be working ok for me (at the moment).

I'm sure it would be possible to earn a lot more on Prolific but while some of the studies are interesting enough I'd find it pretty boring to do even twice as many, because they can be long winded.

Also worth saying what you get aren't really "surveys", they are mostly from academics looking for data input in their research, which makes it quite varied.

I’ve been using AttaPoll since maybe October last year and must have made about £150 or so, it’s the best one I’ve used. It can be frustrating in that you’ll get so far in a survey and I’ll kick you out but a bit. If patience and you can definitely make money.
if anyone wants my referral code where we both get a bonus send me a PM! (Don’t think I’m allowed to link it here)
