10 Things To Do To Make Money From Answering Surveys
Answering surveys for a little bit of extra cash each month is something I have been doing since 2020. I always call this hustle the ultimate marmite hustle as people either hate it with a passion or love it. I’m firmly in the love camp only because I have had moderate success with it over the years (see exactly how much I’ve made here) and it was my first online side hustle. Now I will admit there are some scammy survey sites out there that just want to collect your data but there are a few good ones which you can make decent money off. It’s been nearly 4 years…

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.

How I Made £16,446 from Side Hustles
There is only so much you can reduce and cut from your budget! Eventually you will reach a certain point where to save more you need to make more. Entering the side hustle!! What is a side hustle? There are many different definitions out there but I class a “side hustle” as anything I do to make money beyond my primary source of income. Currently, my primary source of income is my student maintenance loan, paid to me by the UK government to cover all living costs. I started on my side hustle journey exactly 2 years ago, which was just after I had been made redundant from my job…

Complete Breakdown of My 6 Income Sources
One of the first lessons I learnt when I started on my financial literacy journey, was that having only one source of income is not a good idea. The more sources you have, the more protected you are, the pressure of having only one source is lifted because you have others to fall back on. Currently, I am at the point where I have built up six different sources of income. Only two of them are passive at this point, but I am hoping in the future to have the majority of my sources be completely passive. #1 Student Loan This gets paid in three instalments throughout the year, but…

Branded Surveys Review: Is it worth your time?
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…

LifePoints Review: Is the site legit?
LifePoints is a legit survey site where taking surveys earn you LifePoints which you can use to redeemed gift cards from various places, including PayPal and Ubereats. I have had some good luck with LifePoints and find it very lucrative for a survey site. It pays more on average than most survey sites and I find my earnings building up quickly. I signed up to LifePoints on July 10th and reached the minimum cashout within 6 surveys and redeemed my first £5 PayPal gift card. It’s been four months since then and I have made just over £70 on this site alone. PERKS OF LIFEPOINTS? Low time commitment Unlike some…

Prolific Review: Is it the best survey site?
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. PERKS OF PROLIFIC? You will hardly ever…
