YouGov Surveys

I have not been over-enthusiastic about surveys recently, as reaching payout on and of the 'half-decent' survey sites is hard going. However, I had a fairly long survey to complete for YouGov last week, and the reward was almost immediate (well, it took about a week...) a £5 amazon voucher was enough to restore a bit of faith in surveys at least temporarily...

The voucher has already been spent, but it was very gratefully received. YouGov offer surveys for amounts that vary from £0.05 to £1.00 on the whole, (£0.05 is the usual payment for a survey that you start but get filtered out...). They also do 'prize draw' surveys where you don't get a set payment, but you get entered in a draw. I don't do those as a rule, and the main drawback is the time it takes to reach payout for the 'normal' surveys. However I always say that it pays to have many 'strings' to your internet earnings 'bow', and surveys could well make up one of your sources of cash.
