Pure Profile

Pure Profile web surveys are quite short, so they are easy to fit in to your busy schedule (or a quick survey when the boss pops out of the office!). I’ve had a few payouts to date, earning over £200 – and you can too.

Simply log on each day (or when you can) and you can answer small questions about what you like and don’t – and get paid. It really does add up quite quickly! This is one you can easily fit into your coffee break in the mornings, or at any other time when you want to earn money but don’t really want to think hard!

The cash paid soon mounts up as I find they have a regular supply of surveys. Join now as this one’s a top payer and Pure Profile have some unique features enabling you to earn some cash every day. This one could turn out to be a good source of cash for you this year – and every year.

Many paid survey sites make claims that you can earn £100’s each month from doing paid surveys. But being realistic you need to take a long-term view with this and build up to earning good money by signing up for all the sites and seeing what happens.

Each company will send you different amounts of surveys to fill in.

Each company will pay different amounts. Some don’t pay cash, they pay in prizes. So each one is different.

Overall, look on them as being fun as much as a way to make money and if you make £30-50/month as a bit of extra pocket money then consider this a bonus. However, stick with it … and over time you’ll find you’re on more company lists, get more invites, get quicker at filling them in … and earnings can escalate.

I haven’t ever counted up exactly how much money I earn from doing paid surveys, but I know it’s over £200/month , but I admit to spending more time talking about them than doing them!

Some paid survey companies put your name into a prize draw for each set of answers you give them. If you’re a lucky winner then you will get the £100’s, some even have £5000 top prizes – and somebody’s winning them!

I’ve certainly recommended to a few friends that this paid surveys company should be one of the very first survey companies they join, partly because of the good earnings potential, but also because quite often within a few weeks of filling out their surveys, you hear about them on the TV news or read about the in the newspaper. I love it when I recognise a paid survey I filled out being quoted!
