Side Hustles Online: Surveys

So, I'm a bit on the povvo side right now. As a result, I've been looking at other ways to make money. After many Google searches, one recurring theme was do paid surveys. So I chose to sign up to four. After six weeks on each of them, these are my thoughts.

 

Live Tribe

There’s a limit on how many surveys can be done per day (usually one or two) so it’s likely to take a very long time for Live Tribe to pay off. Thankfully, not long after I signed up, Live Tribe restructured how they paid out their users. After six weeks I was able to redeem a $10 Gift Pay voucher which I could use on groceries. Nothing to scoff at really when you’re skint!
After the first survey I did, I thought my reward was entry into the quarterly cash prize and I was a bit peeved that my effort only got an entry to a competition. It turns out that you’ve got to scroll down past the bollocks to choose between claiming the point reward or donating the reward to a charity.
Live Tribe also has polls and blogs open for discussion and online games and footy tipping. There’s also other competitions that can be entered. And it’s a survey site with a conscience. It allows subscribers to support charities in various ways.

 

Opinion Bureau

A reward is given to signing up and about there is where it stops because the surveys available are few and far between making redeemable cash opportunities difficult to achieve, especially when there’s the chance that you still may not qualify for the surveys available anyway. You can participate in polls when there are no surveys, however, the polls don’t change very often so there’s a limit on participation and point collection opportunities there too.

 

Pure Profile

Like Live Tribe, Pure Profile also has a limit on surveys that can be completed per day (again it’s just one or two). If you don’t qualify to complete the survey you still get a small reward for wanting to participate… a whole ten cents. After a week, I had a whole 50c to my name because I was kicked out of five surveys for not qualifying. The reward for being qualified to complete a survey can be up to $3. There a few different ways Pure Profile pays out; however, the minimum payout amount is $20. At the rate I’m going, it’s going to take 200 days to be able to reach this point.

 

Survey Rewardz

Unlike Live Tribe and Pure Profile where there’s a limit on the surveys that can be completed every day, Survey Rewardz has none, you can complete as many surveys as you like. Be warned, they might be available, but that doesn’t mean that you will qualify for all of them. I still see better progress with Survey Rewardz than I have with all the others. After a week, I had accumulated $4.14. Rewards can be redeemed in a variety of different ways from gift cards to cheques to PayPal. There’s only a small minimum for redemption. PayPal’s minimum is $1, a Panera Gift card is a $2 minimum and everything else except Home Depot and Xbox is a minimum of $5.
