information and help to get paid in cash payments, cheque payments,
shopping coupons or prizes when you complete free paid surveys for cash:
Surveys for cash: There are many UK and international
companies who will pay you in cash payments, cheque payments, shopping
coupons or prizes when you complete paid surveys.
The online surveys do not take long to do - often a few minutes and
usually no more than 20 minutes. The longer the
survey the higher the cash payment you will receive. There are links
to many paid survey websites and surveys for cash sites at the
Borntoloaf.co.uk website.
Most of the free paid surveys can be done on the internet, at the websites of the survey companies, such as
Mysurvey
and
Gratis Points
and
Surveys.
Other paid surveys will be e-mailed to you with a link to the website or survey form from UK companies like
Toluna
and
Ipsos
and
Survey Central
and
Populuslive
and
New Vista Live
and
Product Testing
and
Toluna DOI+Survey
and
Global Test Market.
These should be completed as soon as possible
when you get send the e-mail from the surveys for cash website because
there is often a set number of applicants and a time and date the paid
survey needs to be completed by. For
example Yougov supply information to many newspapers and TV or radio
news programmes based on the results of the
surveys they receive. This is how survey sites make their money - they
sell the results as research and opinion polls - you get paid
for helping them with honest answers.
Most free paid surveys are tick boxes, with space at the end for any
comments you wish to make. Some online surveys may involve you watching
an advert or a film trailer. This might necessitate you downloading
some software such as quick time or real player from the surveys for
cash site.
These generally give you a higher rate of pay. Other surveys will ask
you to evaluate a product which you will have been
previously sent to try. I've received anything from dog food,
chocolate, drinks, deodorant and toilet cleaners to review and then
answer
a survey.
Earn A Living Completing Surveys
Is it possible to make a living by completing surveys full time?
The answer is yes and no! Join as many paid survey sites as possible
and you should get surveys for cash most days. I generally get one to
three a day from You Gov, Ciao, Lightspeed Research, Ipsos and Pinecone
Research. These can soon mount up to a generous monthly income.
Combine this with the jobs listed to the left and you could make a
steady and regular income. Most of my income
comes from doing surveys, questionnaires and
Mystery Shopping.
Online Surveys
Online surveys are also called questionnaires, polls, focus groups,
quizzes and opinions. Most of the surveys for cash websites will
let you know how much you will be paid and how long each survey will
take. The majority do a few screening questions
to ensure that you fulfil the clients criteria for each survey. These
are generally your sex, age and job. Some online surveys
websites, like Ipsos, will pre-screen you which save you a great deal
of time. They can do this by keeping your profile
up to date, so do complete any reminders that sites send you. This will
help increase your earnings from paid online surveys.
Paid Surveys
Paid surveys for cash payments do not take much time and can be rewarding and fun. Each paid survey can be interesting and I
often learn from each survey, especially the ones about new films and products. In addition to joining the UK survey websites
it could be worth joining paid surveys websites from other countries such as America who will pay you directly into a Paypal
account which will convert the money into UK sterling.
Some paid survey sites allow you to collect points for higher value cash and voucher payments. It can often be worth saving
up as much points as possible and only cashing in the points once a year to get better rewards.
Do consider completing surveys that offer free prize draws and competitions. I've received several wins from sites
such as Lightspeed Research by doing these surveys.
Online Surveys For Cash
The disadvantage to completing online surveys for cash payments is that you may receive an increase in spam e-mails. You can
overcome this by having a separate e-mail address to use when signing up and registering at survey sites. Alternatively
use an e-mail spam filter such as mailwasher.

Do I Have To Pay Tax from Survey Earnings
I am often asked do I have to pay tax from survey earnings? I have
always put these earning on my income tax self assessment form and
declared all earnings from online surveys to the tax office. This
includes cash, cheque or shopping voucher or coupon payments. However
one year I was randomly picked to have my accounts assessed by a tax
inspector. This process was not as frightening as it sounds! The outcome
was that my accounts and that chosen year's self assessment were
correct but with one exception. My earnings from completing online and
offline surveys and questionnaires were not taxable and I received a
nice tax refund.
So should I declare payments from surveys to the tax office? Now
I am not sure because strictly speaking survey payments are still paid
out for working online
and are a form of income. Yet a tax inspector said not. Though I do
worry about future inspectors saying that they are I get charged for tax
evasion or fraud! So my
practice is to always declare each and every payment made from doing a
survey from the £4 Pinecone luncheon vouchers
(nicely spent at Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds!) to the £10
Ipsos payments (spent at Boots and Argos). I much prefer to err on the
side of caution, rather than
not pay my dues to the Government. Especially when I get a £50 cheque
from YouGov, a £20 cheque from Mutual Points or MyVoice or a large US
cheque from Global
Test Market, it really does not seem right not to pay income tax. And
do remember that income from surveys can be traced, especially if you
choose to have automatic payments directly into your bank account from a
survey web site such as Ciao.
Perhaps the best advice about whether or not to pay tax on
survey payments is to check the policy with your local tax authority or
accountant for expert advice.
My Survey
My Survey will provide you with surveys to complete in
exchange for gifts and rewards. My Survey was formerly called MyTNS but
changed their name and site in January 2008. MySurvey kept the same
functions as My TNS and introduced many more functions. This includes
being able to check your points balance at the MySurvey website at
www.uk.mysurvey.com (please be aware that the www.mysurvey.com leads to a
different site which will be reviewed by www.findextrawork.co.uk soon)
and being able to redeem your My Survey points at uk.mysurvey.com and a
new contact form so that any questions about My Survey can be answered
promptly.
Existing users of MyTNS.com can still log into the UK
mySurvey.com website with the same username and password. This will then
take them to their My Survey personal page. Though MySurvey does not
offer surveys for cash payments the rewards and gifts remain good
offers. In addition My Survey allows you to collect points for your
existing Nectar card which can be redeemed at the grocery shop
Sainsbury’s and in addition you can save for Amazon vouchers to spend at
www.amazon.co.uk or www.amazon.com for International surveys. This
gives each survey you complete a sort of cash value since you save money
not having to buy CDs, DVDs, Computer Games, accessories and much more.
Findextrawork know of people who save their points up to spend at
Christmas time for Xmas gifts for their family thus saving them cash and
the headache of high street shopping.
MySurvey also allows you to donate your survey earnings to
charity rather than take surveys for cash payments. For example this
year’s UK MySurveys charity project is to support, in association with
UNICEF, a pre-school education project in Cambodia. Sadly 14% of
children in Cambodia will have left school by the time they reach the
age of five because they need to help support their family and work. The
charity helps support them in their education and you can help the kids
by donating your MySurvey points directly to the charity. The charity
is hoping to train over 950 pre school teachers to help educate over
14,500 children aged between three and five years.
All active My Survey members can benefit from entry to their
large prize draws that are held four times a year. Each quarterly
competition has large prizes. For example the first prize draw of 2008
has a top prize of 500 euros which will be paid to the winner in their
currency of choice. Entry is automatic when you fill out the fun
profiling surveys at UKMySurvey.
The UKMySurvey website has some testimonials and reviews by
active members and on the homepage it lists the amount of points that
members collected in the previous month and the cash value that the
surveyors shopped with their points.
Earn Money Surveys
Below are some commonly asked questions about
earn money surveys
that findextrawork.co.uk have been able to give answers too. If this
earn money doing surveys page has not answered your question then please
feel free to e-mail findextrawork using the contact link on the left of
this surveys for cash payments page.
One common earn money from surveys query that we are often asked is:
I have visited and joined your website and found it most
helpful, thank you. I am interested in the earn money from surveys
section. I am dubious of giving my details online to companies and
websites I do not really know in case I become the victim of a scam.
What details would the online survey websites need for them to pay money
into my bank account and how secure are these sites you have listed?
Can you please advise me to this affect?
The answer to these survey questions was:
Most of the earn money online surveys sites need personal
details so that they can target surveys to specific user types that
match the requirements of companies and products under review. For
example a car manufacturer would need to know what you currently drive,
your age, how often you drive a car and if you use it for work or just
social pleasure. There are also general questions asked by survey
companies which are demographic such as the town or village and county
you live in, age, address, your number of children, type of house and if
it is rented, owned or mortgaged, pets, etc. So if your personal
details say that you own a dog or cat you will be targeted for say dog
food surveys. The same goes for someone with a baby, toddler or
teenager. Such products to take a survey about will be targeted to you.
After all there is no point in taking a survey about nappies if you are
single and have no children. You will find it boring and the company
will not process the data or they may and it could affect the survey
results.
So you will usually need to give your age, date of birth, address,
number of children, type of house, pets, etc. The more information you
provide the more chances of getting surveys each day to complete for
money or voucher payment.
I have never had to give out bank details to any earn money
online surveys site and not had any problems with the survey sites
listed on both websites I run which are www.borntoloaf.co.uk and
www.findextrawork.co.uk. Payment is usually by shopping vouchers such as
a £10 Argos voucher, paypal or cheque. I particularly like the Pinecone
Research Panel method of payment which is £4 luncheon vouchers which
can be spent at supermarkets like Tesco, Morrisons or Sainsbury's. I
also spend them at MacDonalds, Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken.
These luncheon vouchers in exchange for completing surveys online can
also be spent at Starbucks Coffee, Cafe Uno, Bella Italia, Waitrose,
Nandos, Coffee Republic, Iceland, Pret a Manger, Yates, Asda , Greggs,
Bagel Factory and JD Wetherspoon so most people should have no
difficulty spending their reward for doing surveys.
I would not recommend giving out bank details or passwords to
anyone online and this includes survey sites, though those listed at
findextrawork.co.uk should not ask for these details since they reward
you with vouchers, coupons or cheques.
Though I would trust sites like YouGov, Ciao, Ipsos, Pine Cone etc with
my bank account details should they have direct payment into my bank
account. Chris
