Hi All,

Just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for earning small amounts of money £10 - £50 for low-time investment tasks on the Internet?
Stuff like online surveys things of that nature, and hey if there are ways of earning more than £50 I'm not ruling that out ethier as my limit btw!! haha. But I don't expect the payouts to be any more than that for low-time investment activities.

Cheers
C

    Definitely online surveys have been the best thing for me. Since starting them in September I managed to get quite a bit.  Some are better than others and I have found its best to sign up to several.

    Buy low, sell high. That applies to anything from shares to lawnmowers. The only problem is the rise in the cost of living has reduced the number of buyers. But of course, you can sell anything to anyone if you set the right price.

    Check out r/beermoneyuk on reddit.
    I no longer check the forums as regularly as I used to. If you wish to catch my attention please remember to tag me (@ircE) so I get a notification.

    I use YouGov, and YLive (used to be Populous Live)
    Both send out surveys regularly, and you can cash out, direct into your bank, when you hit the threshold for £50. It takes a bit of time, but if you do every survey, it soon builds up.
    I manage to get a payout from one or the other almost every other month, approx.

    I find Prolific Academic is the best survey site. I earn about £50 a month from them.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    I’ve just had a look at this.  There is a waiting list only, no idea how long it is, they will email me

    I get a lot of YouGov surveys to do but not all of them are paid.  I’ve just got an M & S voucher but it took a long time to build up to £50.

    I joined the waiting list about 6 weeks ago - was admitted that same day! I've made just under £200 since too, it is a great wee site. Good luck
    Free is my favourite price!
  • I've consistently made between £50-£60 a month on Prolific for the last 2 years, so well worth doing for quite a small time investment IMO. If I sat on the surveys page and took up everything offered then it could have been way more but I just squeeze in the odd survey around work (I'm self-employed in a computer-based job, so fits well with that). The waiting list time can vary. A friend of mine waited several weeks but others have got on within a couple of days.
