Really struggling at the moment which I'm sure many of us are. With a newborn on the way I'm looking to make some extra pocket money! Any ideas?!

This is a very useful thread.
I have joined a new panel which I am finding good for extra cash - not as good as Swagbucks and YouGov who are my main income earners that I posted about at the start of the thread but have made £14.50 in 8 days. Hope it helps someone else.

Btw - I didn't bother completing more than one of the profile surveys and still got lots of surveys to do.

Sometimes, uni students posts on FB community pages for studies/surveys that pays in vouchers. I went to my first one last month to discuss misinformation in the media and my next one will be about city visioning and what citizens' want. Got paid £25 Amazon voucher for 2hrs work, and the next one is the same for 1.5hr.

I admit, this isn't a sure-fire way of making money regularly, but it's a bonus when you do see these advertised.

I’ve been using this app for two weeks now and really rate it! Mostly quick and simple surveys and you can cash out once you hit £4 so you’re not waiting ages for money to build up. I’ve made £28 in 16 days and just do it when I’m watching Love Island 😂

Hope things are going well for everyone. I got a big box of a range of P&G products to trial yesterday ( shouldn't say what ). House smells great as the washing dries.

How do you get trial
Products @132orbust ? Thanks

132orbust · 24/08/2023 22:31

@Blondeshavemorefun I get most of my trial products through surveys on this site:
Just got £32 for trialling and feeding back on a make up product - we must not reveal exactly what as it's a new product which may or may not launch. This one was great so I think it will.

No worries @Blondeshavemorefun it continues to be a good source of income and freebies for me so I keep doing it.

@albus55

I have recently started using the eureka app to complete surveys and hve requested my first PayPal pay out. I've now had a text message from a mobile number asking me to reply CONFIRM to process the pay out. Is this a scam text message? Or is this a normal process?

oiltrader · 29/08/2023 16:12

what about only dans ? x

reesewithoutaspoon · 30/08/2023 15:56

Shopmium is OK. I only mainly use it for the pet food coupons, but it basically replaces money off coupons on your shopping. I usually check it before I go shopping and use it if there's something I need. Its dead easy you just click a button to upload a photo of your receipt then scan the bar code on the item. the money goes straight to whatever account you specify. Mine goes to Paypal and its adding up towards Christmas. My Ref code is X66PI2

For surveys I found attapoll is ok ish as survey sites go, usually loads of surveys. Money is not great but it does add up. I usually do a few a day mainly the short ones, because I have found a few are sometimes dodgy where you spend ages and they disqualify you right at the end so I avoid them. but I reckon I make around a £10 a week which I transfer to my Paypal and it's usually instant

Other survey sites are Yougov and ipsos isay they pay better but you don't get offered as many surveys so it takes a while to reach the cash out point.

If you have time available then amazon flex is another option.

SomersetDreams · 04/11/2023 06:46

i heard from an old friend...Crowdology who invieted me to download YourVue - pinots for surveys. Not to bad for now
