Today's post is now live here: https://blog.themoneyshed.co.uk/moneymaking-bootcamp-paid-surveys-the-best-of-the-rest/

I’m a lover of paid surveys. I know - YOU HAVE HEARD 1,000 TIMES! Paid surveys have been good to me over the years and they are a great way to save for a holiday, earn a little extra while watching TV or even just keeping your mind occupied if you’ve retired.

What is your favourite paid survey company - besides Prolific Academic?

Other than Prolific I'd have to say Populus in terms of being one of the better paid sites. You also get kicked out of very few of them. Just wish there were more surveys around. I also wish they'd pay by BACs or Paypal than cheque (although a nice boost to the account when you cash in 2 or 3 at once).

For regularity though I'd include OpinionOutpost. Cashout only £2.50 and it's in your Paypal instantly. Just before Christmas (seems to be the busiest time), I can cashout several times in a week.

Other than PA (which I for me I find a real slow burner), I like Populus Live too but the surveys can be few and far between. My other favourite is Mintvine though as you can extra points for DQs and the poll. I also love the fact that so many of their surveys are mobile compatible and I wish that there were more mobile compatible surveys!

I'm a fan of Mint Vine, i-Say and Your Word as they pay points on screenout. Opinion Bar do too, although their surveys are far less frequent. Peanut Labs surveys on Swaggers, InstaGC and GiftHulk will also give you a nominal amount if you DNQ.

I started off with GTM and PA and used 2 cash out quite easily once a month but no so good at the moment. Thanks to [member=920]katykicker[/member] survey bible I've signed up to so much more now. I personally love mintvine and strangely enough that was my least favourite when I signed up to them all but you can easily rack up the points over a few weeks. I've cashed out $50 with them this month and got a music survey off them Dec that took 45mins and paid €45!!! Also enjoy viewbank which is just polls everyday but soon add up.

It's good to read so many of you are doing so well with your survey sites of choice.

I'm sure none of you go into the Boost Your Income section of the green site but people post in there about having spent 3 years trying to get to a £40 cash out with a survey company and it's just depressing!!!!

That is a typical Jon re surveys. I think should challenge yourself to cash out from a survey site of choice. :)

It usually takes me 6 months -2 years (I've been a member 11 years!) to cashout £25 on Pureprofile but thankfully it's not one I visit daily or spend ages on for poor payment. Just one to visit occasionally and then a nice payment when it does come through.

It's difficult for me to decide on a favourite survey website after Prolific.

The other top ones I've earned about £100 in a year each: MintVine, OnePoll, Populuslive, Pinecone and Panelbase.

Mine are Panelbase, Populisive, Pinecone for the highest payouts and l like onepoll as they are nice and quick, I like mintvine too as you can do the daily poll and they pay out on some screenouts. I also like I-say as they also pay out on screenouts and give bonuses as well.

I just wondered what are members favourite sites for completing surveys on a mobile device? (I know about Citizen Me) but are there any others that are just mobile only?

Thanks for the reply [member=2717]darkhorse[/member]. I have tried OnePulse (love this one) and Ipoll. I haven't heard of SurveyBods so I can look at that though and unfortunately my operating system on my Android is so old it won't run VoxPopMe but hopefully, that will change when I get a new phone later this year. It will probably be another Android though as my husband is a software engineer and everything in our house needs run off that platform. ;D

I love Onepulse, it's one of my favourites as the surveys are so quick and easy. :)
