    if you’re on prolific then you have time to monitor the site for whenever surveys pop up then yes you can make that amount.

    But they did have a waiting list and the surveys tend to get full within minutes so it’s the luck of the drawer as to what is there when you are free.
    you could also be liable for tax for anything over £1000 a year, if you have to do the simple self assessment.

    Yes - I usually make about 100 - 200 a month doing surveys.

    I use Prolific, Opinium, Onepoll, You Gov and Populous live

    Most of my earnings come from Prolific - the other survey sites, I only tend to get a payment a few times a year - but it all adds up. It does vary on Prolific how much I get each month - I usually get at least £100 a month, but very occasionally that goes up to £250.

  • I am not sure of making 100 per month as these survey sites have "Screen Out" factor which is to know if the person matches the demographic fit for the survey. If someone is making more than 100 per month, I might be forced to assume its not a part-time work rather full time work.

    It is definitely not full-time work.

    And prolific does not have the same screen out issues that other surveys sites do.
    What they do have is an algorithm that means at times you get less surveys and a bit of a tumbleweed few weeks before it goes back to normal again
