CIAO SURVEYS
Advantages Possibilty of earning £15 for 'live' on-line discussion groups.
Disadvantages Very low survey rewards ( ie 10p)
There's quite few survey sites on the internet these days, Ciao being one that people who write and read reviews here might be aware of. As with most survey sites you first need to register your details and then complete a 'profile' , this will determine which survey you are selected and invited for. It is worth taking your time filling this section out. At Ciao once you've collected £5 or over in survey rewards you can request a bank transfer.
I get about 4 survey invites a week, most survey's that I've been offered are around the 10p for 30mins mark (I could probably find 10p down the back of the sofa). The worst survey I got was 10p for 50mins!!. I've seen quite a few surveys for IT professionals which are alot better paid (£1.00-3.00) and the surveys on air travel are sometimes worth looking at.There is also the possibilty of earning up to £15 for being part of an on-line discussion group, they usually take 60-90mins to complete. Im not sure how frequent these are though, I've been doing surveys on Ciao since May and I've just got my first £15 invite.
If Ciao isnt your cup of tea there are other survey sites like Lightspeed, Valued Opinons,Panel base, Response panel. pure profile in my opinon they offer much better rewards.STOP PRESS: Found 55p down back of sofa yipppppeeeeeeeSince writing this review I have taken part in an on-line discussion group which I did enjoy and got paid £15 ( took 90mins). I was told after the on-line discussion that more might be availble. I still get the 10p invites and I would say that they still make up around 85% of all survey invites I recieve
