Qmee - making money searching the web

Well I don't know what's happened recently, but I've had no end of surveys and what not on my Qmee Dashboard as of late, and I've managed to qualify for a large chunk of them.  This week alone I've managed to rack up £17 in the last five days alone.  I reckon if I'd just sat down and filled all the time I could with this, I could have racked up half as much again, I'm sure of it.  So I've now smashed the £50 target I set above and £60 calls.

The only problem with this sort of "Boost your Income" though - tedious as hell.  Nice surprise on occasion  when you only have to answer two questions and get a payment.  Did one recently where all it asked me was my age, where I lived and whether I had heard of this, that and the other and I got 28p for literally three button clicks.

I used to spend all my time doing surveys and cashback sites years ago. The problem with this extra income is it becomes compulsive. If you were offered a job that paid you £3 or £4 an hour you wouldnt take it, youd be disgusted. Also you get used to the money so spend hours trying to get more. It can very easily overtake time that you wouldnt have otherwise spent staring at a computer trying to beat  last months earnings. Ive seen people earn £100 but at what cost to their time really. Its ok if you have nothing else to do that day but one day you find that you 'have' to do your surveys and then hours have gone by. I now set a time limit on my computer use. I don't need the money because I don't NEED anything. This is the thing: what exactly do you use the money for as spending becomes a habit also.

Totally agree with this. Whilst being in lockdown and furloughed from my job, I can quite easily sit in front of the telly all morning, attempting various surveys to earn a few extra quid. Have to really be strict with myself and set a limit on what I do as I have so many other things I can be doing. Im happy if I earn an extra £30/£40 a month so I should just stay content with this.

£35 in January, the lowest month since joining a year ago and only the second month under £50. I don't feel like I've clicked on any fewer surveys than usual, but I've certainly been screened out more often.

Same here,the last 3 months have 33,30,36.

I'm usually earning 80-100.

Better this month so far   £32.00

£35 so far this month, but more surveys also means more screenouts, more late screenouts (and I think they've reduced the probability of getting a small compensation payment for those), more surveys that take you right to the end and then skip out on paying you by throwing up an error page...

How intrusive/annoying are the ads?

It seems the payment for some of these surveys is getting lower and lower. And more are letting you get quite far through then rejecting you. Ive complained about a few. Some say 5 minutes but when you start the survey jump to  'approx 15 minutes'.
I only aim for £1 a day. 1 hour tops then find something else to do. Dont bother at weekends unless Im going on the computer for some other reason.  Theres no ads on a PC so I assume people are talking about on their phones?

It certainly seems like there are more very low paying ones (2p/minute or less) than there used to be. And they clutter up the Surveys page so you're more likely to miss seeing one that's actually worth doing.
