Hi all, i have been looking into how i could make a little extra money and have come accross Comping (entering lots of online competitions) and Surveys (paid approx £1 - £6 each).
I just wondered if anyone had every tried any of these and had some sucess or if should stay well away?
Hi, thanks for replying - from having a look you get a number of credits for each survey you fill in which can be exchanged for vouchers or cash when you reach a certain point.
I dont think they involve phoning people and i wouldnt want to do that anyway as i know how annoying they are!!!
I did this for a while, I found them repettitive and very boring, also there are so many people doing this. You are asked to do a survey via a link from your email address, I found that most of the surveys had already filled there quotas, so it takes an awfull long time to get either money or vouchers.
Theirs a few other ways youtube do a monitise thing now i get between 12 and 25 quid per month (highest was 53 quid)
for just allowing adverts on my youtube account

I used to do Pincone surveys which pay £3 a shot. But to be honest I stopped doing them because they were pretty tedious and not enough of them to make it worthwhile.

Will have to look into this - nobody pays me for the ads on my you tube account!
Oh I fell for this a few years ago, stupid ass that I was, I even paid a joining fee, to ensure I got on all the top survey sites etc! Well it's nigh on impossible to earn real cash, you get credits, & it would take years to turn it into money.
The surveys are soooooooooooo boring & long winded, & often upon completion you find it's closed so your time etc was for nothing.
I was not into hi tech phones, DVDs, films, gadgets, etc so that eliminated me from many surveys.
Seriously don't waste your time, & do not pay for the privallage like I did! Keep well away is my answer
i do shop and scan from kantar, each week i scan my shopping with a tiny scanner then transmit the barcodes via my laptop!! i only get £1 a week but i let the vouchers build up , you also get the ocassional questionaire thing and thats extra points
I've done them before for vouchers and cash. They are pretty boring and repetitive :(
If you do want to go ahead then you will probably need to sign up for loads of them and then sort through to find the one's that really are worth your while staying with. I signed up for loads and found in the end that there were only 1 or 2 worth keeping. I've stopped doing them completely now though so can't tell you who they were with :(
I've been doing YouGov surveys for aaaaaages - eventually I will have enough points to get £50 from them, but it's taking forever and they only invite me to do one or two surveys a week. I signed up for another survey site and never seemed to fit the right profile to be selected for any of their surveys (either too old, too young, don't have kids, don't shop in the right shops, don't buy the right products, don't work in the right industry... urgh!).
We've had better success using a cashback site (think it's TopCashback) - we got something like £80 cashback when we took out our home insurance. We'd get a lot more money out of it if i remembered to log into the site before buying stuff on Amazon though!
