    No, I did this years ago and first of all getting paid by the sites is a pain in the bum. Secondly there just aren't enough surveys to consistently make £30 a day.

    No way! It's hard to make that amount per week.

    No sorry I don't think so either. You may be able to consistently make £3 a day from doing them but not much more

    There's no way you can get that from survey sites. You're better off using different sites and doing other things rather than just surveys, although even then it's unlikely.

    The amount you get depends on the site you use and on some sites the amount you get varies between surveys. How many surveys you get and qualify for will vary too. You won't qualify for every survey you attempt, sometimes because you don't fit the criteria they are looking for and sometimes because they'll already have enough answers for specific groups (i.e. 25-35 year old males).

    If you can get referrals constantly (and they remain active) you'll earn more. Otherwise, no. You can't earn that much from just surveys.

    I've never had any problems getting payouts from any site.

    Maybe things have changed a bit then. I remember when I did this before and tried to cash out, a common thing they did was tell me to read the small print and I'd see that I needed to earn something like £50 before I could request a cash out which would take forever.

    Yeah, sites do usually have a minimum before cashing out. Some are really low, others are higher. I've never bothered with sites that have a stupidly high cashout minimum. However, assuming it's a legit site, you shouldn't have any problems actually cashing out once you get there.

    Many websites have a minimum, that's one of the things that makes it impossible to earn £30 a day or even a week for that matter.

    Asking whether you can earn £30 in a day/week, and asking whether you can earn and cash out £30 a day/week are two very different things.

    I earn an amount every weekday in my employed job, but I only actually get paid for it once per month...

    There are plenty of options besides surveys, you just have to do some research and avoid all of the 'make £000s a day doing nothing' crap that's online.
    Some survey sites pay well (>NMW), there just aren't enough surveys to make good money.
  • £30 a day is not realistic, unless one is an American citizen with an SSN and eligible to register to Amazon Mturk. Even in that case I doubt one could make £30 a day from online work.
