  • I'd say no, I'm a member of over twenty sites, although I've only received payment from around 8 so far and I earn on average £13 a month. Also most freebies are one use only, don't really know about daily clicks though as I don't really do them often. But I'd definately start doing them, after all every little thing helps. Signing up to cashback sites (avoid greasy palm) is a must I'd say if you regularly buy things online.

    from the amount of time spent compared to money earned, you would actually be better getting a "real" job.

    top up money only.

    Total pie in the sky - sorry.
    Honestly you would be 10 x better getting a minimum wage job.

    Surveys and daily clicks are good for extra spending money or for getting vouchers to help out with birthday and Christmas costs, but I wouldn't expect any more than that. As has already been mentioned, they are both quite a lot of effort for the rewards.

    Id give up on the idea.
    When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.

    it would be difficult to earn around £400 but definitely worth it for some extra money. and at least you don't have to pay any tax on your earnings

    I earn per month about £20, maybe 30 maximum, but thats if im REALLY lucky. This is just some extra money for treating yourself.

    If you do surveys for a month, someone on minimum wage will probably earn more than you in 4-5 hours.

    In addition to this, most survey sites pay using vouchers.

  • I'd say that you would not be able to make a living from it, but it is definately a way you could get yourself a bit of extra spending money if you have plenty of free time.

    Sorry Dave but the earning are not tax free technically, you have to register as self employed and then get a small earnings certificate to exempt you if you earn under about £5000 a year, which is highly likely for the vast majority of people that do this. You don't have to do it but if you get caught you'll have to pay a £500 fine...

    i doubt anyone who does surveys pays tax on it, it's not like you get a payslip for it, it just goes straight in your bank account.
    how would they catch you anyway? there's no tax people with binoculars in your garden watching people on the net and seeing if they are making money!
