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?

You don't need to tell the truth. If you answer as a specific demographic, not the real you, then you don't reveal your secrets. Of course, this is Mumsnet so every time you lie, a fairy loses her wings.

I’m literally doing them all morning before work and all evening after. I’m using about 5 apps and just trying as many as I can. Even 10p is 10p more than I’d have before!

Surely there must be a better to way to extra money?

I’m on track to hit day 3 of near enough £15 a day so

Well you must be working through the night or have a Time Machine or something. I just tried again and in 45 mins I have got half a survey completed (the rest of the fuckers threw me out). So how the hell can you be completing 15 of them every night?

I have made £10k in the last year from Prolific doing AI training.

You could try and register with shop and scan I did it for a few years. You just scan everything you buy. It's really easy but can't really remember how much I made. I used to have a choice of vouchers.
