Hi All,

I found this fab forum a few weeks ago and have been reading all your posts since! I am hoping to start saving some money to take my kids to Florida next year so am looking at all ways to earn a bit of extra money and hoping being on here will give me the kick up the bum I need ;-)

I have signed up to a few sites which I have seen you all talking about:

Leapforce (not sure if application will be accepted only applied Monday and nothing back yet)
Task 360
Panelbase
Focus 4 people
Your say pays
Appen
Retail Active

So far I've only earned about £2 not much seems to be coming through so was just wondering if any of you had anymore I should try or other ideas? I would like to try match betting but do not have a clue what I am doing!!! And would have to wait until payday to try ;-)

Thanks in advance

Hi Emma

Looks like your off to a great start with a few of the more familiar and higher earning things

I lurked on the monthly challenge board for at least a week, it wasn't a year nuh huh, honest, before I started posting
Amazing to see what other people do to earn money and I tried to look at each thing other people did to earn money each month, and then what best suited me.

Survey sites I'd recommend:
£dosh per hour:
Prolific Academic
Populus Live
Pinecone

£no. of surveys:
Global Test Market
Mintvine

£quick and easy surveys but long time (4 to 6 months to get enough) to pay out:
One Poll
YouGov

I'm trying to make £200+ a month on surveys atm.
Prolific Academic and Global Test Market are very quiet for me this month though, hope it's not an ongoing thing.

I try and make £6 a day from surveys, some days it takes 2 hours a day, some days its 30 mins. Atm its a slog as I haven't got enough surveys to get to the £6 so I'm doing the lower paying surveys on sites like valued opinions and opinion outpost which are keeeeling maaaa souuuuuul. Phew! Thanks for listening

Mystery Shopping
RedWigWam (this is the only mystery shopping site I've used).
There are lots of others apps / sites I've heard about but I haven't tried them yet so can't recommend them.

No monthly target on this for me atm, but I'd be a very happy puppy making £50/£100 a month from RedWigWam but some people make alot (and I mean alot) more than this.

£100 being 14 mystery shops last month, naff all so far this month!
I'm looking at another 5/6 mystery shopping apps to try this month but all I seem to be doing atm is Matched Betting.

Matched Betting
I've been a paid subscriber of profit accumulator in the past, now subscribed to oddsmonkey.
I'd say oddsmonkey was the better of the two, but maybe that profit accumulator better for someone starting out.

If you want to try matched betting for free though, and if I were recommending it to any of my friends, I' d recomment team profit - because its free
It does lead you into odds monkey when you have finished the sign ups, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

They have a weekly plan guide where you can start with £8.00 so not much needed to get started.
Also this weekend would be a great time to start due to the start of the premier league football.

Return on this depends on how much money you have to put to it - more money = more offers at once.
If you did this 'seriously' you could be making £1k a month on this within 2 months with most of the money needed earned from the sign ups offers.

There are lots of other things about to do to make money online, I'm a fan of clicking things !Neobux! !yay! but that is a slow, slow, slow burner, but these are the main things that I do at the moment.

If I could offer 1 piece of advice though; routine. Try picking up one thing at a time, make sure you do that every day, rather than trying to do another 10 / 20 things at once.

In 3/6 months time you'll have a much better idea of what suits you, and what pays the most for your time; there may well be things you do at the start of your journey that you have no intention of doing in 6 months time because you have found something that suits your better / pays better for your time.
But it's always good to know that there are things you could fall back on, and do to make some extra cash, should you need it.

I'd wish you all the best, but your on the best money making forum on the t'internet, and you won't need it

Cheers,

Rich

@Wibble Nice read there

Lots of good tips for you there Emma, I found reading Katy Kicker's survey bible really helpful, which is here on the money shed forum somewhere. I only started a couple of weeks ago but I'm optimistic with what I've managed so far. Anything is a bonus from how I see it, saving my pennies as would love to take my son on holiday down to Cornwall next year and be able to afford 2 weeks instead of one.

Thank you for the well written post @Wibble , I tried signing up to one poll yesterday myself but didn't seem to get a confirmation email? Might not bother if the earnings are poor but like you said, global test market (a good earner) seems a bit dead right now.

Hi Rachel,

I quite like One Poll, although the surveys seem to take abit longer to complete the last few weeks, there seems to be more of them.
They range from 10p to 30p so they're pretty quick to do.
I've done £20 of surveys in the last 3 months with them, and its £40 before you can cash out, so 6 months, which would be a pain if you didn't like the site!!

The survey sites in general seem to be split into those that you can hit the payouts every month, and those that take longer and you can cash out once or twice a year.
Some take longer but things like PopulusLive (£50), YouGov (£50), One Poll(£40), YouSayPay (£20) are nice amounts to have when you finally get enough to cash out

Thanks so much for all your help I've signed up to all the above but still only seem to be getting one or two emails for surveys! maybe i'll hold out a little longer and hopefully they will start coming in. I think i will also try match betting eeekkkk bit scary though but i'll give it a go, Thanks again for all your help

Hi, @emma79

With regards to the Prolific Academic surveys - if you are signed up for these you need to get some sort of 'page monitor' set up on your computer as the surveys go very quickly, well before you would have got an email usually.

I have Firefox on my computer and use the 'Distill' add on which alerts me audibly when the page changes and a survey appears.

Let me know if you need any more information on it.
