    Can You Actually Make Money Answering Surveys?

    January 23, 2024 /

    Surveys are the ultimate marmite side hustle. Either you absolutely hate them or you secretly love them. There is a special place in my heart for surveys as they were my gateway hustle into this crazy world of making money online that I now find myself fully invested in. Let me take you back to March 2020 when you might have guessed it, I didn’t have much else going on. So what did I do? Like any rational human who had just lost their job I googled “how to make money online” and hey presto making money answering surveys became something I did.

    £5k Hustle Challenge – How I did it in 7 1/2 months!

    May 9, 2023 /

    I am currently on a gap year after graduating uni back in July 2022. My intentions for this year were to slow down a little bit, do some travelling and decide what my next move is going to be. I’d set aside a pot of money (£5k to be exact) to cover all costs associated with the year. But I soon found out I’m not the type of person who can just sit idly all day. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love a sofa day but I need to be doing something. Enter the £5k hustle challenge! Disclaimer – This post contains some affiliate/referral links which means that I…

    Is Branded Surveys Legit? Make Money Answering Surveys

    November 18, 2020 /

    Branded Surveys was the first survey site that I used and actually made money on. This means I don’t want to give up using it even though it isn’t the best site out there. Whilst it may take longer than other sites, you can still make some money using this survey provider. Further some of the surveys will take you onto bigger and better things. Like a 2 day evaluation of a new series I qualified for from a survey on Branded Surveys, which paid £45. Although I’m not checking this site now as much as I did when I first started taking surveys, I still use it from time…

    Prolific Review: Is it the best survey site?

    November 12, 2020 /

    Prolific is hands down the best survey site I have ever used! Forget earning pennies for half an hour of your time, studies on Prolific pay on average £7.50/hour – most of the time more! This is more than the current minimum wage for my age group!  The site is very easy to navigate and refreshes itself so you don’t need to be on it at all times. Unfortunately because the site is so popular some of the studies fill their quotas very quickly, which can be annoying and feel like a missed opportunity. Yet there is always more studies on the way. Let’s get into my full Prolific review……
