New to survey's can you still make some extra money from them?

Hi,
I need to make a little extra cash monthly to go towards taking my son out, I had to give up my career to care for him full time we could do with an extra 40 a month ideally! Would survey's do this please?

I have earned over £900 with Prolific since April last year.

I usually make about £80 - £100 a month from surveys - the survey sites I use are Prolific, Opinion Outpost, Opinium, Onepoll, Valued opinions, Your say pays, Y live, Ipsos
I get the most frequent pay outs from Prolific and Opinion Outpost (a few times a month) the rest pay out a few times a year - Ipsos and Valued opinions pay out in shop vouchers.

I usually earn £70-80 a month on Qmee, I'm on the waiting list for prolific. 

I don't always spend that much time on Qmee but it's been an expensive couple of months so it's certainly helped.

I'm averaging about £100/120 a month from surveys, mainly Swagbucks but also Curious Cat, Ipsos and I'm building totals with YouGov and YLive.

You should be able to do £40 per month quite easily, I think on Swagbucks if you go through this site you'll get £20 extra as soon as you get your first tenner.

I've just tried to sign up to Opinion Outpost - but it is saying with both the email addresses I tried to sign up with (my usual 'surveys' one and another one) that these emails are already in use?  Did they used to be someone else do you know?  Although I did use the 'forgot my password' function and nothing got sent through - I'm pretty sure I've never signed up before with either address.

Might have to give these a go. One of my friends does these and she makes a healthy amount on the side too

I have been using them for a few years now and I have always known them as Opinion Outpost.
I found also that the forgot my password can be a bit glitchy - I once tried to reset my password through that, and never got anything sent through. Thankfully I then managed to remember what my password was so could get in after all!

Prolific is not entirely what I would call a "survey" site.  You are taking part in academic research as a kind of online lab rat.  Might be tasks like looking at photos of people and deciding how criminal they look, or solving puzzles, or learning an alien language.  Sometimes they can be quite arduous!  I recently had to learn a tune from sheet music and record myself playing it on audio, but I was only offered that study because I had indicated on my profile that I play a musical instrument.  They have a very thorough list of questions you are asked about yourself to make sure you are the right demographic that the researcher requires.  It can also be a bit "feast or famine" as they like to keep you fresh so if you have done a lot of studies you will not get so many for a while.  I earnt £500 in my first year with them and heading up to £1000 this year (at which point I will stop so as not to run into tax problems).

Oohhhh.....wish I'd have passed the application process.

I'd have been great at that.

Him? Yeah, criminal.

Her? Yeah, eyes too close together.

Criminal.

Right up my street!
