How Do You Get Paid To Complete Surveys?

Options
hi there money experts,

I've just been told that it is possible to get paid money into your paypal account just by completing online surveys. Skeptical of the idea i thought i'd check with the infinite wisdom of the forums for an answer

thanks Tom-GB

    How Do You Figure This Is The Place To Ask?

    Sorry to sound rude - but too many people are lazy. Lazy to do a search. Or use the correct forum. Or even to type it into Google. How hard is that? Seriously?

    Tip: Google.

  • Surely It Would Have Been Easier Just To Answer The Question, You Lack Self Esteem & Enjoy Belittling Others Hope It Makes You Feel Good!

    That's why I said sorry up front. Because I know it is rude. Seriously - I want to understand - why on earth would anyone post a question like that here instead of trying to Google it first?

    The clue is in the name of the sub-forum. The stickies are there to read before posting. It's all there. If you are able to go through the registration process, then you can use the forum pages, the search facility (no-doubt it's been dealt with elsewhere on the site/forums), and you can read the stickies. But as I said, to my mind it's laziness, and unless someone can provide a logical argument otherwise, I'll stick to my guns (and accept being called rude/flamed/etc.!)

    PS: easier to answer the question? No. I don't know. Nowt to do with enjoying belittling others, etc. more to save my bandwidth, time, effort, brain processing power, and ultimately carbon emissions as a result.

    I don't really want to know either... I just look here for bargains, so that's all I'd like to see... I think it would be interesting to do a poll on this site about whether or not posting a non-bargain in Grabbit annoys people! I reckon I'd be in the majority, and most people would support this way of saving the planet!

    I agree with Sid, the forum clearly states that before you post ,you read the rules and also search before you post anything

    People are just too bone idle and lazy to look and think that by appologising its ok

    The mods still have to move the links to the correct place- they are working for free, they dont get paid to move links that have been post anywhere just because people are too lazy to read what goes where

    I started doing surveys about a month ago. I signed up to most of them through links on topcashback, (that's the site I use for my cashback rather than quidco).
    You sign up, give a few details, and they send you surveys to your email. Most of the time when you start the survey it will ask you a couple of questions, then say that you don't qualify and that's that. But I have completed a few and you can earn between 10p!!! and a couple of quid for each.
    I am signed up to juicy brains, (they pay you in amazon vouchers), and valued opinions, there's a couple of others but I can't remember them. On average I get a survey request a day, but in the end probably qualify for about 1 a week!
    Even though I haven't found a way of making a lot on them, (others may have), its worth doing if you have the free time, and it'll give you a bit extra for next xmas!!
    I hope that helped, just ask if you have any other questions!
    And yes Sid you do sound rude!

    whilst i agree that a bit of effort is needed on the newbies side, i don't see why a simple "you have posted this in the wrong place, please try in the other forum and do a search in there" is too much to ask from more established members. attitude is neither necessary or becoming! :)
