There are a lot of scam survey websites about but YouGov is genuine and the results of their polls and surveys are often seen in newspapers and on television.
www.YouGov.com
YouGov is a well known UK survey company. Many people will have heard of them from the major opinion polls which they undertake ahead of elections to see how people will vote. They also have an online paid survey part of their business. Due to their reputation as a recognised brand many people feel safe signing up to the company.
Each time you take part in a survey, you will have your virtual YouGov account credited with cash amounts depending on the survey's length, or you may be entered into a prize draw. .... No sales, no spam, no marketing
With YouGov, for example, if you refer others to join their panel this is what you get (to quote their words):
"For each new member that signs up via your personalised registration link below, you will receive equivalent amounts in survey credit for each survey they complete during their first three months of membership."
It is possible to earn money on every survey completed through YouGov. YouGov does not run a points system. They do not payout until the amount in the account is in excess of £50. I have found that YouGov surveys are relatively easy to do and the quoted level of reward is suitable for the time spent completing the survey. However, despite being a member of YouGov for a long time, I am still to reach the payout level (in fact I still haven't even reached £10) and so my advice would be to try some of the alternative online paid survey sites. they are active in the UK, USA, Austria, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Middle East, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
