One of many survey sites, InboxPounds (and its American counterpart InboxDollars) offers cash for taking surveys, playing games, receiving 'PaidEmails', and searching on their website (a few pence every 4 searches, up to 7 pence a day), as well as having a referral system. If you want to give it a try yourself, here is my referral link, and there is currently a £1 bonus available if you sign up.
InboxPounds is one of few survey sites that does not give you points, but shows your balance in pounds, and I find that I prefer this, as it makes it easier to gauge how much money each survey is worth relative to the time it will take you, and therefore whether it is worth the time spent.
Overall, it is possible to make money on InboxPounds, as there are always surveys available, however you may find that you don't always qualify for every survey and this can be irritating. However if you do not qualify for a survey, InboxPounds gives you a 'spin' on the wheel, with which you occasionally receive one or two pence, though that isn't a given. You occasionally also receive 'PaidEmails', which are essentially adverts that you receive in the site's email section, and which you receive a few pence for reading, though they are relatively infrequent.
You must also hit £10 before you can cash out any of your earnings, and the gift cards currently available on the site (including transfer to paypal) require you to have at least £15, and it is important to be aware of this before you begin to invest your time on this site, as if you only plan to occasionally answer surveys, it could be some time before you reap the rewards.
InboxPounds, compared to some other sites I have tried, has a relatively generous referral scheme, with 10% of your friend's lifetime earnings, at no extra cost to them, meaning that it is possible to earn a considerable amount of money via referrals. If, for example, you refer 10 people, and each makes the £10 minimum necessary for withdrawal, you could earn £1 per person, or £10 in total. If you have a social media presence or a blog for example, it can be very easy to refer others.
Many surveys, and the site itself, will require you to enter personal information, such as your name, address, and date of birth, and you will be asked to sign up with an email and verify via a mobile number. In exchange for the cash reward you are asked to entrust these sites with your information, so it is important that a certain amount of caution is employed when trying any survey site, and you can quit a survey at any point.
InboxPounds also allows you to download apps and games via the site for a reward, but I would recommend reading the conditions of each offer carefully, as you are asked to allow apps to track your activity in your device settings, and occasionally to make in app purchases to receive the reward.
Surveys usually pay from £0.12 to £0.25, though longer, sometimes two part, surveys can pay up to £0.75. I would also note that the time predictions for surveys aren't always accurate, but higher paying surveys will naturally require a greater time investment.
In summary:
- good supply of surveys (eligibility variable)
- other opportunities to earn money: games, emails, searching
- minimum withdrawal £10
- refer someone and get 10% of their lifetime earnings
