  • Most of it is pot luck and receiving enough invites to surveys. I'm on both and yougov is fairly intermittent but get almost daily invites to VO. Then just a matter if you are screened in or out - I average about £10/mth with VO, which you receive in vouchers. I think you need to hit 50 points with YouGov before payment, I've been doing it for a year and getting close.
    The best thing is to sign up to a load of survey sites and try to maximise your money that way.

  • pixie_bella - survey sites can be good to earn a little money/vouchers now and then, but the amount of time it takes to earn cashout and the sporadic sending of survey invites ect means they cannot in any way be relied upon to help you with your financial crisis.

    it could be worth a visit to your local citazens advice centre to see what can be done to help you with your situation as you are obviously very stressed about it. also, maybe you have some family or friends who would be willing to help you out?

    also visit entitledto dot co dot uk to check you are in reciept of any benefits you may be entitled to, you might be surprised at what you are missing out on. if you have anything you could sell such as unused furnature or electrical goods ect, you can advertise for free on adtrader and similar papers, or on gumtree. good luck.
