Hi, has anyone had there 'profiles' ie, Work, Cars etc, on Global changed? There only around 6 now, when there was like 10 or more before?

So I guess be less surveys?

    I've noticed a change too but I've been getting more surveys than ever lately, even cashed out £30 3 times this month! Usually I get in 1 at most.

    Wow your on a roll there

    I always get to £40 every month (Paypal), (had £45 last month) sometimes £55, £80 at the most in a month. Usually get more depending if do like a 1 week forum etc. Recently got a £30 Amazon voucher for doing a 3 week project.

    Just wanted to check if the profiles thing was the same for everyone!

    I do go through phases where get screened out a-lot, but always get to at least £40 in the month in the end!

    Does anyone have any tips? I been using it for over a year and really happy with it. But obviously would like to earn more if possible!

    I don't really have any tips as sounds like you're probably making the most you can expect to make from them already, £80 a month is great :) I usually do around £30 a month and I'm pleased with that!

    Wow how much time do you spend doing surveys for GTM? I am so fed up with them, been a member for years. I'm struggling to get to my next payout then I think I'll shut my account down. I get nothing but screenouts, usually when I'm 15 minutes into a survey, and I get around 8 emails a day which lead to nothing. I feel my time would be better spent on other sites like Onepoll or iPoll for more reward. I'm so surprised to hear of people doing so well from global test market!

    I would say I spend maybe 30 minutes per day, I usually open a few surveys at a time and do say 5-10 questions on each and then tab to the next one, saves time overall and saves me getting too bored.

    So maybe 8 hours a month, for £30+, not bad really in terms of internet work.

    Have you updated all of your profiles on GTM? It takes some time, maybe an hour, but it is worth it to try and eliminate the surveys that aren't relevant.

    Anyone finding it slow at the moment?

    Since the profile change, I've had hardly any. Real slump :(
