    The competitions board on here would be best if you want to try and make a living from comping (read the gudie thats a sticky first) also check out the matched betting board:)

    you won't make a lot sitting at home, pennies to be honest, there is not a lot of money to be earned from surveys etc.

    I would say competitions is the best though but truthfully you won't earn a lot from anything online.

    Subject to opinion.

    You may not make a normal full time wage, but my payout for surveys this year is about £300 and to be honest, it's the last thing on my list of things to do.

    I think I like that it's guaranteed, unlike comps. If it says I'm getting £1, thats what I'm getting. Simple :D
    I get what i want. That isn't because i'm a brat or spoilt. It's because i'm determined, i work hard for it and i achieve my goals!

    imo, doing surveys would work out at around £3-£4 per hour which is a waste of time

    Depends on circumstance.

    If I have time on an evening I would rather make £3-4 doing surveys while watching TV rather than nothing.

    And besides, i'm normally muti-tasking with other things (those lovely reports we do Berbastrike lol)

    lol yeh the repots are a joy especially mfers, but I can only spend so long at the pc before I get stressed. I just think £3-4 is not worth doing that for. £300 so far this year though is surprisingly good, how many hours in total do you think you have worked for that?

  • Well look at it from my point of view.

    I'm stuck in 24/7 so can't go and get a job that pays normal money.

    So £3/£4 an hour rather than £0 an hour is definitely worth it. :-)
    Total Weight Loss Progress = -17lbs
    Money Earned Online = £108

    I couldn't honestly say. I never just sit and do a survey. I do them at work and home but am always multi tasking. Either with normal work, reports, other surveys, paid to sites, shopping on ebay lol I just have them in the background, answer a few questions do something else, answer a few questions, do something else, and so on and so on.
