Do we think Swagbucks and Surveys will be here till the end of time?

I still use survey websites, and make £100s a month. Nowhere near what I used to make, as I only spend time on the better paying work, but I still do some surveys. Almost daily.

I like monies. I don't really do 10p or 50p surveys though. Except for Onepoll now they've got a mobile app, I do those on my walk to/from nursery while I listen to podcasts.

I'm in awe of you, I'm obviously using the wrong sites!

I make around £200 - £250 per month from surveys. The trick is to concentrate on the higher paying ones and not bother with the ones that pay pence per hour. I only use about half of the companies that I used to use and make more overall because I'm using my time more wisely

Same for me, great advice here!

I have not used swagbucks in about a year and yesterday I got an email saying my shop and swag has been confirmed, I was a bit confused as I tend to use topcashback now until I noticed it is from a purchase I made in 2007!

I've heard many people swear by the Swagbucks site, personally I'd be swearing at it. It would be less hard going to collect a thousand grains of sand from Southport Beach. I'm forever on the lookout for the latest site but there are far better people than me searching. Until recently and after stumbling across the "Boost My Budget" blog (I think that's the name!) I'd never heard of Prolific. This has to be the best surely? In the "olden" days I remember saving up loads of luncheon voucher £4 booklets earned from PineCone Research. Now it's £3 per survey and I'm sure they've been swallowed up by another organisation as the site seems to have the same generic feel as most of the others. IE, the screen that says "let's find you another survey"!

They have revamped their site making it more user -friendly, but they still use their particular format of survey , and at £3 a time, and very rarely screening out, they're still one of the best.

Same. Some of it comes from online forums and focus groups which crop up from time to time if you take a lot of surveys. Some of those are recurring, which helps. Over time you can build up a collection of the best sites and weed out the rubbish.

I would like to do more involved work but I have health issues and a lot of the time this is as much as I can focus on. I listen to a lot of radio and audio books so I don't get bored!

Good for you! It's hard to find something to earn money when you have health issues so well done! xx

What are your favouites?

What are your favouites?

Prolific Academic, of course. Testable minds pay well, but studies are few and far between. Branded surveys, I usually cash out every week or two. Then there's YouGov, populus live and New Vista that all pay well. Pincone pay well too, but again, studies are very few and far between. Once I've cleared surveys from the above, I look to see what's left in my inbox and decide what is paying decently and delete the rest. (unless I'm really, really bored, which isn't very often)
