Making some pocket money from home-surveys etc

[whlparkstone]

I have a little bit of time on my hands right now and would like to make a few pennies at the same time.

I use Topcashback a lot, wherever possible. I am considering doing online surveys. There are plenty of mixed reviews on this throughout the internet, some calling it a waste of time. I would be interested to hear people’s first hand experience.

I know a lot of people make money from home selling Avon/Scentsy/Body Shop etc but I feel that this market is a bit swamped .

I am interested to hear your thoughts 💜

I would have a look at the social groups and read up on Matched Betting to be honest - you can easily make some decent money doing that if you have some time.

I do online surveys, have done for years, they don't pay out big, some do that want focus groups but I don't do those, but they do mount up i tend to cash them in later in the year to help out with Christmas.

I only do them while I'm watching the tv.

If you want a list of the few I do, I'll send them to you .

I do surveys with YouGov. I just received my first £50...it took 2 years to earn it !

Many thanks

I do YouGov too. Always amuses me to see an opinion poll on the news when I know people are paid to take part and the questions are often leant so far one way or the other with no "couldn't really care less" option. Took me 18 months for my first £50..

Some of the surveys are so boring. I’ve quite liked doing the covid related ones. I have no interest in TV I usually just delete those.

I used to do quite a few surveys but I got frustrated with starting them only to get so far through and be told, sorry you dont qualify for this survey.

I now use: Airtime Rewards - App. just register your cards with them and then you earn cashback on regular spending at places like New Look, Clarks, Argos, Boots & more. Once you reach £10, you can apply the amount as a discount off your mobile phone bill.
Checkout Smart - Offers on app. Purchase grocery item, upload receipt, get cashback or item for free.
Huyu - App. Upload shopping receipts for credits. Usually each receipt is equivalent to 5p but it all adds up.
Mistplay - App. Earn credits by playing games on your phone.
ReceiptHog - App. Upload receipts for credits you turn into paypal cash or vouchers
Shoppix - As above.

I do surveys regularly. Time consuming but I usually make about £ 300/400 a year which is really useful come Christmas.

Definitely recommend Prolific.

They are university surveys, pay is around 50p-£1 for a 5 minute study, around £2 for a 15-20 minute study and around £4/£5 for a 30-45 minute study.

Not sure if you have to have a degree to sign up though with it being a university site.

I average around £50 a month just doing the short studies as never can be bothered to do the long ones!
