Ciao.co.uk is a review site that also offers paid surveys. You can choose to participate in either or both of these. However, personally, I have found of late that Ciao Surveys is rather a waste of time. Most of the surveys screen you out once they have already received plenty of information from you. The surveys are received rather erratically and the payment may be 2 pound for a survey or as low as 20 pence. Not worth the effort. However if you fit into one of the high category group whose opinions are desperately wanted you should fare better than me.

That is something to bear in mind. Your occupation, marital status, income and age group will determine just how valuable you are to a survey company.

Here are a few, other, good, on-line sites, in the UK, which concentrate on offering paid surveys to complete:-

valuedopinions.co.uk

Valued opinions pays its survey participants in gift vouchers their account has reached ten pounds. The vouchers are for reputable High Street stores and Charities. The recent crash of Woolworth's just shows though that it is no good saving these vouchers up to spend at, for example, Christmas. Woolworth's was one of the companies whose vouchers were available as payment for surveys. Of course these would be worthless now.

homeofresearch.com

Homeofresearch is an American site that offers free paid surveys to UK residents. The surveys here usually pay quite well and there is the occasional chance to participate in well paid on-line forums.The payment for forums is between 25 and 35 pounds for one to one and a half hours. The surveys vary in payment but are often about one pound. The surveys though are quick and easy to complete. Payment is by cheque once you have reached twenty pounds.

globaltestmarket.com

UK residents can earn a reasonable amount of money for surveys with global test market. What I like about globaltestmarket is that you receive a small payment, even if you are screened out of the survey. This will usually only be for about 20 pence or so but it will be for very little effort. Payment is again by cheque.

yougov.co.uk

Yougov pay out in cash in the form of a cheque once you reach fifty pounds. This sounds a lot of money and it will take quite a while to reach but it is a reputable site. The surveys are fairly interesting and a little different. You can boost your earnings, in order to reach a faster payout, if you refer friends and family, who ultimately become active members.
