The only problem I get regularly with VOP is that the surveys take much longet than they say. In the last couple of weeks I have had 2 that said they would take 25 to 30 mins and actually I had to abandon them after an hour!

Many thanks to everyone who replied to my last question. I've signed up with a few and I'll let you know how I get on (conidentiality clauses permitting). Does anyone know anything about panelbase? They seem to have quite a few ways of completing surveys but does anyone know how active they are?

I signed up with Panelbase about 6 weeks ago and filled in all the profiles. Only had one survey (which I only found out I'd received by signing in to the website) and didn't qualify! Overall, not impressed so far, though this may change of course.

My 3 favourites are VOP, Pinecone and Ipsos.

Ipsos is def the best, lots of surveys and quick to pay (if a little slow to credit the points) they aren't very good at telling you upfront how much a survey is worth but they are generally quite good (unlike Ciao who are paying pennies now...I just delete them now !!!)

I like VOP for the amounts they pay but it DOES take a while to credit and def around the full 28 days to pay, although they do arrive in the end. Obviously once you have been doing these for a while the whole issue about time taken to credit becomes less obvious as you always have a number 'in the pipeline' so to speak.

Pinecone is great if you can get in. Very quick to pay and you get a reasonable amount of stuff to test as well..

Has anyone bothered completing the 10p half hour surveys for Ciao? I was wondering whether completing them lead to getting any better paid surveys as I can't see why else anyone would spend so long on them. I don't mind 5-10 minute surveys without payment but the Ciao surveys are way too long!

Ive signed up for about 15-20 sites in the last few days. I will have a reasonable of time each day to complete surveys (at least 2hrs available each day).

To anyone who has been doing this a while, how much can you expect to earn a month on average. Is there anyone on the board who has been doing this a long time and found it worthwhile?

Thanks

Hi, has anybody has any experience of OpinionWorld. I recieved an email inviting me to take part in their surveys. Thank you.

Personally I'd look at it as a way of making a bit of extra cash - I realised early on I'd have to keep the day job I gave up several sites as I never seemed to get through the 'qualifier questions'.If you're dedicated and have the time to spare though, give it a go. The only decent one I've ever come across is the unmentionable one and I earn around £16 a month on that one.

Here is another regular opportunity:-

An independant company, Research International, monitors the Royal Mail service by having a large panel of volunteers all over the country sending test letters to each other and recording the dates they post and receive test letters. You get a free book of stamps every month and there are daily gift voucher prize draws and regular cash prize draws up to £5000.

Use reference code KANTOP01 when completing short eligibility questionnaire.

I'm a freelance market & social researcher, but have no affiliation with this company. Just thought I'd share this nationwide no hassle opportunity!

onepoll was mentioned a few weeks ago and I joined and am up to £12.65.
You just log on everyday and complete any surveys you like. I like the surveys at the moment, they only take about 5 mins and are mostly about christmas. You never get screened out. You do have to wait till you are up to £40 to claim your money. They also have some surveys for £200 prizes drawn out of the hat type thing. I also have signed up to as many as I could find. My profle most seems to suit lightspeed and I get loads of surveys from them.
