It seems to me that I work very much every day, but I have not earned anything yet ((0
-
In 2018 I made about £420. This was from 2 YouGov payouts, 7 Prolific payouts, and a couple of Amazon vouchers from Pinecone Research.
I don't know how people claim to be making £14,000 per annum or thousands from surveys and other income boosting schemes.
£420 is probably the highest it will ever be for me, because that was when I was working remotely and had Prolific open all day so that I could do basically every survey. It also included a couple of big surveys that I was lucky to get on, such as one which paid £50 and only had 8 spaces.
I'm working in an office again now and so I can only really do surveys at evenings or weekends, so I expect to make less than half what I did in 2018 from surveys.
In terms of other non-salary income, I made about £300 from interest on savings/investments.0 -

I earned more than £500 last year from Prolific alone. And I work full-time, so don't get to always check. I generally make at least £1500 per year from surveys, if not a bit more.0 -

So either you are extremely lucky, or the pre-screening just excluded me from a lot of surveys. As far as I'm concerned, I got the max that was possible for me to get on Prolific in 2018. On some days I was spending as much as 2 or 3 hours doing surveys instead of doing my actual job - I did them whenever they appeared - and I still only got about £300 over the year.
However, there was a bug with Prolific for a few months where I basically couldn't do any surveys, I just got a "PEC-SUB-0001" error every time, so if you didn't have that issue then that might explain the difference.
You say you work full time, are you doing the surveys at work? That isn't a possibility for me now that I don't work from home. I have people that can see my screen and I have to get my work done on time. All jobs are different in what you can get away with and in my new job I can't freeload. And I have found there are very few surveys in the evenings. I've made £6 in 2 months...
What other surveys do you do to make the other £1000?0 -
I have currently finished my maternity leave and i am wanting to make some money from home.
Anybody know of any commission home jobs apart from.avon, bodyshop etc? I am really interested in childrens fashion and believe it would be fantastic in the area as the nearest clothes shop is 40 miles away but unable to locate a buisness who do this.0 -
If selling clothes is what you are thinking, all you need to find is a good supplier online. Then do the promotions online too and of course through word of mouth if it's within your community.0
