Online Surveys
Earn > Surveys
How they work:
Companies want to do market research and polls so they will pay agencies to get answers for them.
Online sites exist where anyone can do these surveys and get paid to do so.
Generally, you sign up to a reliable survey site and get sent surveys they think may match your skillset or demographic. You will then complete these surveys to earn rewards or cash which can be withdrawn once you reach a certain threshold.
Let's have a look at a few reliable ones:

Worth it?
It depends on what your goals for doing online surveys are really.
If you just want to earn an extra couple of quid a day, this is a nice easy way to do it and can be done without a lot of work or effort. We would say it’s a great way to make money on your phone whilst watching TV.
If you want to replace your main income and work from home, this isn’t the way to do it!
