Can you realistically earn £50 to £100 a month from surveys?

Is it possible to make 50-100 a month doing surveys or posting leaflets?

I’m on prolific and aim for 20 a week.

instagram seems to have moved from promoting solo travel to these super eager women telling you to complete surveys and mystery shop as a ‘side hustle’. It’s BS and just another scam it keeps coming up on my feed/reels. You’d be lucky to earn a few quid a month, it’s all copy and paste and repeat.

Prolific is definitely the best paid by far, especially the AI ones. I am earning between £25 and £40 a day but that is sitting doing them for a good part of the day

I’ve just signed up for Prolific too and have been accepted this morning. They are asking for photo ID. Does this seem right?

Ive just done this too, and got accepted. They did want photo ID and also a video. That felt a bit too much, so Ive deleted my account.

I joined years ago but earlier this year they asked for id which I sent them. My DH who only joined last year was also asked for id this year. Seems to be something they are now asking for

I do mostly via playing the games listed on Swagbucks - never spend any money. Add in consumer pulse and user testing, it’s pretty easy to hit.

They have to check ID so they know who they are paying.

More and more of the tasks on offer require video, so maybe they only want to recruit new people willing to use video.

I’ve been on Prolific for years, I probably make about £30 a month if I go regularly. Unfortunately I cannot do the AI ones as I cannot make my screen size big enough. I don’t both either any of the other survey sites, but I do Influence (used to be VoxPopMe) and Shoppix

DominoLover51 · 08/05/2026 13:50

O, I also do Consumerpulse

Sarah2891 · 08/05/2026 13:51

I get £20-30 a month from one of them. Which is good to me after waiting about 8 months to get £50 from youguv.

Im on yougov but its taking forever...i reckon it will be 6 to 8 months before i make £50
