    Unrelenting filth.

    :rotfl: I've had 60p in 3 days! Never going to hit my target at this rate. I'm having to do 20 minute qmee ones for 15p!

    What is your target?

    I would never do 20 minute 15p ones to be honest. Ones for 30p in 10 minutes are regular enough IMHO.

    Edit - if you check out places like Opinion Outpost, they also have a relatively low payment threshold - outside of Prolific and Populous (which is £50) - they all seem to be much of a muchness. To be honest Qmee are one of the lowest, its just the frequency of surveys and no cashout threshold helps I think.

    £60 a month. I'm at £37 so far. Made £72 last month. Prolific has been as dry as a bone for me this moth though

    Any moth?

    £60 is pretty manageable really, I aim for £1 a day with each of my accounts - I had nothing with Prolific today, 90p with Qmee, about 300 Lifepoints with Global Test Market (1600 gets £15) - 204 Swagbucks. This is now easily my second best month for Qmee - on £15.11...which is £5 off my best month.
    And today I didnt really do a lot to be honest.

    It is but I'm just not finding the time to juggle work, a 2 year old, housework and all the other stuff that being an adult requires. I did £29.89 on qmee last month. Time consuming but there's rarely nothing there whereas with prolific it can be so hit and miss

    Indeed, though I dont have the 2 year old, I do have over 100 16-18 year olds!

    But thats why I prioritise surveys, if you are doing a 20 minute survey for 15p, you could miss out on a 5 minute one for 40p in the meantime. Of course thats the game of chance we play! Swagbucks can be useful as you can just leave things like videos running, but its not a massive earner for me, but every little helps! :T

    Prolific despite being, less Prolific, is still easily one of the best money making sites out there, which probably says more about the other sites then Prolific. But as I have said before with it, I think the issue at the minute is that the number of surveys has not increased, but the number of users has - therefore there are less surveys to go around and less moolah for us all. :(

    Yea they seem to fill up in an instant! I tend to try not to do anything over 15 mins on qmee to avoid the risk of falling asleep. Have you noticed that they're dipping their toes into pre screening?

    Well that was scheduled to take half an hour and took me barely 10 minutes :rotfl: - always makes me worry. But really it was just "find items from the list on a supermarket website" which Ive done hundreds of times. :eek:
