Get Paid For Your Opinion -The Best Online Survey Sites Part 1

Earn some coins with your spare time.

If you don’t mind sitting for a few hours a day and answering questions about broadband, politics, and what you last purchased at Amazon then it is possible to earn £100s a year.

Let’s talk about online surveys which you can get paid for just by answering some questions. This is something I have personally been using for a few years and can help out if you need some extra top-up cash for Christmas and holidays.

How do they work?

It’s really simple. No skills or qualifications are needed, all you need to do is be yourself and give your opinion. Marketing is essential to any business so by learning and targeting their products to the right people they can cut down on advertising costs.

How much can I make?

Typically it is easy to make up to £200 a year but if you dedicate a lot of time to this you can make £1000s.

Some quick dos and don’ts to surveys

Whatever you do, DO NOT pay to join any survey sites that charge money to join.

Don’t expect to be making lots of money straight away. You will have no control over how many surveys you will be picked for and some sites will have higher payout thresholds than others. But don’t give up before you’ve hit a threshold else you have done all the work for nothing.

Make sure you cash out and spend any gift vouchers straight away. if the survey sites close down or the retailer goes bust you may lose your earnings.

Make a new email address and dedicate this to surveys because you may quickly become bombarded with emails for surveys you can participate in and you wouldn’t want to miss out if they got lost among your other emails.

Don’t tell lies on the surveys because the sites will corroborate previous survey answers and can see if you are fibbing. Do not sign up for multiple accounts because you will be kicked out for this.

Make a log of all the surveys you have participated in and how much the promised payment was for. Chase the site for any unpaid work.

Screenouts are when you fill in a few questions and then you are told you don’t qualify. This can be frustrating but usually, you will qualify for enough surveys to make up for this.

Sometimes referring a friend can earn extra money so this is always worth looking into especially if you just need a little more to his that payout threshold.
