Hi. I'm a newbie.
Having recently purchased a house I need all the extra income I can get. I started online surveys in October but haven't been seeing to much of a return:
Swagbucks - made about £15 but it seems an awful lot of time and effort for minimal rewards. I seem to spend much time being screen out of surveys and registering for prize draws (and then receiving masses of calls and spam emails). I'm on 720 SB at the moment so I'll aim for 999, claim my £5 and then give up on that one I think. I see that a lot of people on this site are into 'Swagbucking'. Am I missing something or does everyone else spend as much time and frustration as me trying to up the bucks?
Global Test Market - my favourite. Cashed out £30 and working my way up again. Frustrating when screened out but surveys are regular and they paid pretty quickly.
YouGov - up to nearly 2000 points but very slow. Worth it though as no chance of being screened out.
MySurvey - I claimed once, received my cash and then my account was closed by them. I haven't bothered to argue as I think it's pretty low of them to just close the account after all the work that's put in.
Onepoll - quick and lot of surveys but slow to mount up.
Crowdology - hardly any surveys but I believe there's a low cash out so seeing how this goes.
I've closed accounts with a few sites e.g Toluna as the whole process was just very frustrating.
I've decided to stick with only a few sites - global test market, yougov, one poll and crowdology otherwise I'm spending a lot of my time for little reward. Any other suggestions please of what works for others?
I've also sold mobile phones, CDs, DVDs and clothes on eBay all at pretty low prices. Also just joined up to nectar and club card and changed my bank accounts to those offering cash back.
Does anyone have some new fresh ideas on good survey sites or ways to make some more extra income without spending ample time on it. I work 9-5 Monday to Friday in a busy busy job and by the time I get home I'm shattered. I welcome your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks
