Surveys
Surveys are definitely my most consistent way of earning some extra money online, all the sites and apps are free to sign up. Answer questions on a wide variety of subjects anything from crisps to credit cards to cats to well absolutely anything.
Companies want to know what you think about their products and so are prepared to pay for you to tell them about your views.
Some sites are better than others and all of the sites below I have tried and tested, some I use every day some I have given up on you can easily make £100 - £200 a month from about an hour a day so get signed up to some of these to earn some extra money.
The best sites are the ones that offer good value for money, I want to be paid at least minimum wage for the ones I do, some pay more, some pay a fraction and are really not worth your time.
I've made a definitive list of all of the ones I have used and still use, and reviewed them, making it easier to see which ones are worth doing.
The ultimate guide to earning money with online surveys
Surveys are a great way to earn some extra money online. Completely free and easy to start, there are so many opportunities out there from loads of different sites. Meaning you can earn at any time of day and night, from your phone or computer. I Have been doing surveys online and over time have learned the best ways to maximise my online survey earning.



Populus
My top survey site is Populus, excellent payouts, quick surveys and well paid. Email alerts for when surveys are released, some can be completed on mobile.

YouGov
YouGov is a slow burn, the surveys are not very regular, but definitely worth their time, cash out is at £50.00 so it takes quite a while to get there, but YouGov safe a browser extension where you share your streaming data is massively profitable and can earn you a lot extra.
Also, check out YouGov direct for your phone and much smaller cash out £2.00

Toluna
Lots of surveys, some very long and not worth what you get for them and fair few screenouts.

No email alerts so I would check their site daily
