  • I dont seem to be getting anywhere with yougov, as everything i've ever got is for 50p, so all these 50ps are taking forever. :(

  • For those that mentioned they stopped sending surveys. They do restart again. I presume they have more of one demographic than another.

    It's taken me two years to get to £42, I mainly get the Brand Index surveys, plus one other survey every couple of months, in October I earned £1.50. :rolleyes:
  • Whilst it can take a while to earn on your own with Yougov, it does have one of the best referral programs as you earn 100% of the income earned by your referrals during their first 3 months. This has earned me several hundred pounds extra over the last few years.

    Hardly many anything on referrals but I have made my 1st £50 it has taken just over 2 years though cheque is on its way.

    I dont mind doing the surveys, the bandex can be so predictable though and boring, the other ones I dont mind doing at all.

    There's also ones where you can win money I do a couples of those a year.

    I won £250 on one of the oracle surveys at easter so it is worth doing these ones even though you don't get paid for them.

    My account went down by about 50p - 75p I had just over £50 and then went done to just under £50. Its now over again because I did another survey

    reeree how long did it take them to pay you when you reached £50


    it took nearly a month to arrive
  • I love YouGov. I've been with them ages and had two 50pound payouts from them.

    I'm going to go and check out the referrals program now...;)

  • Aaargh I don't know if my money has gone down cos I rarely check.:eek: Any idea how I find out? It's taken me about 18 months to get to £42 too :rolleyes:

    According to an article on politicalbetting.com they have a lot of people with certain demographics so they don't get many surveys. Apparantly if you say in your profile that you read The Star or The Sun you will get more surveys. - see http://politicalbetting.com/index.php/archives/2005/02/20/how-yougovs-peter-kellner-keeps-the-anoraks-out/
