    I'm sorry but I've worked for OC and gave it up after 2 months as I was barely getting one survey completed an hour. People just don't want to take surveys.

    So I don't believe these two people that claim they manage to complete over 10 surveys an hour!

    Impossible.

    I have been working for Optimum Contact for nearly five years and have been doing telephone surveys for Optimum Contact for over 3 years. If I did not make a living I would find other work.

    Some people do surveys and some people do not.

    It is impossible to do 10 surveys per hour. Which two people have made such a claim?

    The most I have ever done in one day was 29; these were short surveys - calling people who were, in most cases, very willing to do the survey.

    And maybe you Vixxxen just arnt persistent enough, Ive had 2 1/2 - 3 hour spells with getting no surveys but then have a crazy hour where I might get 4/5 surveys in a row ... Thats the way it goes sometimes.

    I know for a fact I havent said Ive got 10 in an hour as yes that is pretty much impossible but since Monday I have completed a total of 52 surveys and made £149.50 overall.

    Hi can I just ask how many hours did you work to complete 57 surveys? Hope you dont think that I am being to cheeky. Its just I am a stay at home mum who is looking for something part time to fit in with the school run. Thanks

    On average about 25 hours a week

    The surveys are £2.75 each.

    Add into the fact a lot of numbers they give you to call are unobtainable, its impossible to make £130 a week. Not when you're only woeking 30 or so hours...

    About 30 hours this week. I am sure Nickv1.0 will give you guidance as she also works to fit in with her school run.

    If I could not earn £130 for a 30 hour week with Optimum Contact, I would not work for them, nor promote them on here!

    Look whatever your experiences are with doing surveys on O.C is your own business but im not in the business of lying to people. I dont work at the moment due to ill health so therefore am devoting my time to O.C and certainly arnt going to make up a figure of the ammount of surveys or ammount of cash ive made doing the surveys just to impress people.

    A lot of the numbers arnt unobtainable at all! Yes you do get quite a few people saying they havent got time or arnt interested in completing one but patience is the virtue and by the sounds of it you dont have any what so ever
