YouGov Surveys Review

I realise that people looking at the Cheap Slap blog are looking for ways to make extra money from home (who isn’t)? Many of you may not have decided whether to go into the wholesale makeup business and are just checking it out, as well as other work from home ideas.

Survey sites are some of the most overrated and scammy work from home ideas ever invented. Usually you have to fill in loads of boring, long, questionnaires for pennies or points which it takes a thousand years to ever cash in. For that reason I won’t even try to insult you by saying that you will make much money from surveys, or get rich quick, but there are two survey sites in the UK that I use that are not a total joke, and they pay a decent rate for something that, let’s face it, a monkey could do in its sleep.

The first, Pinecone Research, I have also written a separate blog post about. They pay £3 per survey and are currently looking for mums with children aged 3 and under to conduct consumer research. Pinecone is rated on the Money Saving Expert website as probably the best survey site in the UK, but it is notoriously hard to join. At the time of writing this, they are still recruiting, and all you have to do to sign up is fill in your details at the form on their website. You can join Pinecone Research here.

The second survey site I use is YouGov, where you get between 50p and £1 for each survey. The surveys take about 5 minutes once you get the hang of them (the YouGov site says they should take about 15-20 mins but honestly? I would say that’s only if you put an awful lot of thought into your answers). They also have monthly prize draws for various cash prizes up to £1,000. You receive an email when there is a survey for you to complete, so there is no need to keep checking their website.

YouGov have interesting and topical questions that do not assume you are a total moron. The only catch with YouGov is that they only pay out when you reach £50, and there are not a great deal of surveys. I do not think that is a problem – it is not exactly a fortune anyway but it is lovely when a cheque arrives, and I am nearly at my second payout.
