Topic: Surveys

[ACE]

You know those annoying people that stop you in the street with a survey, you cannot do them as usually you have paid for parking and don't have time.

Well now you can do them on line and at least when they say 'Our survey shows us' you can say 'I done that'.

I always do them to pass a bit of time and have my say. The beauty of these surveys is they pay you and every now and then you get £50 to go out for a cheap meal with the OH, or save them up and then take your lover out for a really good meal.

Heres the link if anyone is interestedhttp://my.yougov.com/go.aspx?id=0c3b3b30-0067-4ba4-8a00-5a570e92c295


Some of you will be a bit suspicious. My advice to you is 'don't do it then' Just got my second cheque this morning which prompted me to pass it on.

I do Yougov too, the cheques are very nice.  I'm also on a couple of market research panels, one just for paid surveys and one for taking part in interviews, group discussions etc. which pay £50-£70 for a couple of hours work.

Will have look see, cheers ACE.

We had a knock on the door after tea last night and some bird was asking would we mind doing a survey, one word answer was 'NO', being stopped in the street and being asked to do any kind of survey or research gets up my bugle, also do I want Double glazing on the door step or in the street or anything else if I want anything I'll go and get it on my terms, 'Bloody leave me alone' >:( ;)

Tell the god squad you are a satanist lol they actually run!

Tell the double glazing guys in town that you live in a cave and dont need windows or doors.

Tell tele marketers on the phone that you are a consultant and charge 300 quid per hour and to whom do you send you bill for your time.

I have been known when people call saying they are collecting for a childrens charity to call the kids to the door and tell the charity person to 'Take your pick'

[Mr Smith]

Ishard,
          When we go over to Leicester sometimes on a Saturday on the train and going under the underpass outside the station there he is one man and his scruffy dog, 'Got any change mate' 'Do I look like a bank' I say and carry on walking ;)

[Ishard]

Double glazing. Easiest thing is to say you rent and if you have done the above and tell them. They will promptly pass a brick and remove you from the call list.

No answer for the "god squad" usually just say no thanks.

Thanks for those links they are very handy especially for my Mum as she has alhzeimers.  :)

Ive told my Mum to not open the doors but shout through the letter box thats shes the maid. So far, so good.

[Flunky]

My pleasure. We get NONE. They definately work.

[manicscousers]

we do you gov, too..up to 32.50 on the second run, bit of a long winded thing but, at least it's a decent sum when you get it  ;D

I expect that is because the views of the folks from the sunny south coast are truer and of more value to them than a load of scallywags from the frozen wastelands of the north ;)

[manicscousers]

 ;D ;D

[honeybee]

Another scallywag from the North on her third cheque, well it all helps to buy a further batch of bread and dripping  ;)

[Doris_Pinks]

Thanks for that ACE, just signed on! ;D

[sarah]

how often do you get sent surveys? i signed up with yougov about three weeks ago but have not had any surveys yet. do you have to wait a while? am i being impatient?

[Sparkly]

so, how much time do you spend doing this and how much money do you get?

[debster]

[asbean]
