I wish they would at least keep Encrave going longer on weekends when there are less earning opportunities.

I'll give Radio a go now instead

Surveys are drying up for me, not had a survey on my dashboard come 2 weeks and managed about 5 gs in that same 2 week period, dq from the rest. ds are my best for surveys but now averaging only 3 per day on weekdays only. it'l def be slower to the nxt £100 as the rewards for radio have dropped frm 5-3 couple weeks ago. targets for today are 110/460, barely there at 39 atm

Out of interest - I think this was your first month on SB?

My friend joined a few months ago and found she had many more earning opportunities than me at that time, lots readily available and her earnings were high - 500 SB+ a day very easily, maxing out daily surveys often, for the first few weeks - but lots of it I recognised as stuff that had already come up for me recently.

My belief is that when you join that there will be a bit of a backlog you can clear, and gradually if you are a regular user, you'll catch up and things will only start to appear for you as new things are added.


In addition to this.. (also in a belated update to a previous post!) I also managed £100 paypal recently in 41 days - only one day longer than I had hoped It did take more work than I'd usually put in, more checking for new stuff, more surveys (I think they were slightly more plentiful than usual for reasons I note later) and more tasks. I cashed out for my usual monthly £50 ten days early and thought with the extra days, plentiful earnings and large bonus I had coming that I might as well try and go for it.

This was with almost no encrave - maybe 10 rounds maximum, no radio at all, and only occasional SBTV (maybe 60 SB worth maximum) to top myself up to targets. I don't do radio because it has never worked for me and generally because I want to use my laptop for other things encrave is a no, SBTV is for desperate times.. Maybe only a handful of 20-50 SB offers. Occasional swagcodes. Videos. A few search wins a week. Usual daily stuff. Large goal bonus 1000+ SB from previous month.

As with Matty_544 I had high 400+SB targets after a while, but I was making these and more pretty much every day.

My biggest earners have always been surveys. I am lucky(!), as someone who is unemployed, to have a lot of time on my hands and most of this time I can sit in front of a computer. However, I don't think it's the amount of time I can spend that's the biggest advantage. I think it's the fact I can regularly check for new surveys throughout the day. Surveys of all kinds will appear and disappear from one hour to the next. If you can only use SB in the morning, or once you get home from work for example, you cannot expect that everything that has been put on the site in the time since you were last there will be sitting there waiting for you. It will probably appear sparse and like there is a lack of opportunities. It just depends what's there when you can look. Sometimes I refresh a page and a couple of surveys appear where there were none, I'll complete one survey and in the time I'll do that the next one will tell me quota full/no longer available. For hours DS will tell me nothing available and then i'll get one or more. I'll look at least every couple of hours between 10am and 2am usually, stuff can and will appear at any time, most regularly in West Coast USA waking hours.

Tasks have also been a big boost since I've started doing them (100SB a day depending how many I can be bothered to do), as has having referrals. My friend as mentioned above earned me 400 SB in a month before she quit. Another referral has earned me 1250 SB since May. It doesn't contribute to daily goal targets but is a valuable boost to my earnings.

This month I've been busier so much less regular checking on laptop, it's been harder to make my targets once I can sit down to do it, but I'll still make my usual £50 paypal for the month easily. Average of 270 SB per day after large 1300 SB goal bonus for this month. Some days I've only been bothered to make the 100SBish first goal, some days 300SB+. My 400SB large second daily goals started to come down very gradually after a week or so. I have hardly made second goals this month so next bonus will be much smaller, probably only 700SB.

I also find that the amount of survey opportunities fluctuate from month to month and week to week. Starts of the month usually quieter, and some times companies have more demand during at particular times, eg. election - more political surveys, eg. christmas or summer promotions/campaigns being put together in advance at a particular time, a lot of companies will want information or feedback at the same time for that reason. Not particularly predictable, but I don't think it's one of those times right now! In or out I've found the last few weeks quieter.

Sorry if this is long and rambling - hopefully some useful stuff in there somewhere!

Search 'secret' for 11 SB.

Just wondering, does everyone sign up to everything that is free on there, for instance all of the competition entries etc?
