    I have been using the below survey sites since end of October:


    Panelbase (favourite) : I have earned £105.00 since end of October on this site, get screened out of a lot of surveys but also get sent plenty that are easy to do. Range from £0.40 - £4.50 per survey.
    I have also just got a market research one where I keep spending diary for £25.00!


    One poll: I am on £35.00 at the moment, check this several times a day and usually pick up a decent amount of polls. Only £5.00 away from first cash out!


    Panel opinion: Cash out is £10.00 get maybe one survey a week, I am currently on £9.45 so bit of a slow one.


    Swagbucks: This is a brilliant site, easy to use and quite fun. I cash out using Paypal can earn £5.00 a week or more if have the time.


    YouGov: £50.00 cash out, this will probably take 6 months to do but worth it. Surveys are relevant to current affairs and usually don't take too long.


    Any other sites anyone would recommend?
  • Hi there,

    I've only just signed up to do online surveys. I thought with the new year, I'd like to earn a bit more cash where possible.
    I've signed up to prolific academic and so far since joining I've earnt just over £11 in just over a week. Not too bad considering I'm not on my tablet checking the site for more surveys all day.

    I've also been lucky enough to join pinecone, though I haven't had any surveys from them, even though I joined up about 4 days ago. Is this normal? I guess it as an when I become eligible for surveys.
    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.

    Hi all

    Is anyone having a problem with Opinion Bar? Requested payment some time ago and got an email asking for BIC/Swift information. Replied back saying there isn't a field for this information in my account but the email bounced back.

    Requested payment 3 times. Bounced all three times
    Submitted two support tickets. Neither answered.

    Followed the links to see that Metrixlab run them so posted on their FB wall (no response). Trying to email Metrixlab from their form on the website but it doesn't allow me to submit the form.

    It's looking a little dodgy (I've had payments before and considered them a good company)

    Just wanted to see if anyone else had any issue's and/or possible warn others that there may be a problem.

    same here.

    Signed up to Nielson, but a bit worried about the message saying that it will be able to read and alter things in my computer so haven't yet accepted it?

    No one's mentioned daily survey panel. Anyone heard of it?

  • Thanks for the guide, I'm going through it now..

    I'm interested in doing surveys to supplement my income.

    When was the top 25 report written? Yougov only once a month for surveys? I get surveys from them most weekdays, almost never get screened out and hit the £50 target every few months

    They aren't the most reliable of surveyers, sometimes getting errors part way through, but I think they're fixed that by allowing you to restart part complete surveys. The actual design of the surveys isn't great - making false assumptions so you get unanswerable questions. When that happens I just give the most outlandish answers I can think of. I do the same when the survey takes longer than they've said.
  • eldaniel, thats a brilliant guide.

    I can't see the value in doing surveys, all the sites offer such little rewards for the effort.

    I think i'm going to give Yougov a go and see if I can complete one per day. If I am able to complete 1 survey each day, 7 days a week, how much can I expect to earn?
