My Favourite Money-Making Sites (Other than read.cash, of course...)

Prolific

Prolific is my favourite money making site. They run academic surveys that promise to pay more than £5 per hour, so no 10 minute surveys for 12p like other sites.

Minimum payout: £5

Pros:

Pay very well

Good customer service

Lots of bonuses from surveys

No screen-outs

Cons:

Surveys are infrequent (I recommend a Chrome extension)

non-ref

Testable Minds

Similar to Prolific in many ways. Good to use when there aren't any Prolific studies available. You are available to take more studies if you're a 'Verified Mind' - i.e. You send them a picture of your ID.

Minimum Payout: £20

Pros:

Pay very fairly

Cons:

Not many studies

High payout threshold

TopCashback (UK Only)

Arguably not a Beermoney site, but it has saved me over £100 in the last couple of months. Basically, if you want to buy something online, click through to the website through them. They earn a commission based on how much you spent, and give you a chunk of it. At the moment, there's also a £5 sign up bonus for new members if you use a referral link.

Minimum Payout: None

Pros:

Cashback available through most websites

Completely free to use

Essentially free money

No minimum payout

Cons:

Not all sites offer cashback, although most do

Ipsos I-Say

An essential survey site by a well-established company that pays rather well. They also often run app-testing projects and product tests too! (I just did an app test where I used an app every day for a week and got £40!)

Minimum Payout: £5

Pros:

5p - 25p bonuses for every screen-out

Plenty of surveys

Fast earner

Bonus high-paying projects

Cons:

Screen-outs happen

MTurk

Okay. This one's controversial. MTurk is run by Amazon, and it pays you to do a wide variety of things, like 'Draw a box around each car', 'Transcribe this sign' or 'Do this survey'. You can only get paid in amazon.com

 credit (not gift cards), that are non-redeemable on the amazon.co.uk store though. However, it's worth the time if you're willing to pay the shipping fees, provided you're accepted, of course...

Minimum payout: None

Pros:

No minimum payout

Huge amounts of work available

Cons:

Hard to get accepted

Big shipping fees

No customer support (so beware of dodgy requesters)

non-ref

Poll Pay

This is actually my biggest earner; over £400 so far. However, the overwhelming majority of this came from almost 9000 (!) referrals. The app is pretty standard in terms of the surveys it gives you, but it has very good payout options.

Minimum payout: £5

Pros:

Lots of surveys

Multiple payment methods

Good customer support

Sign-up bonus

Cons:

Doesn't pay as well as some of the others

Screen outs happen

Referral code (for £0.19 bonus): FZZ9PFN

Upvoice

This is a passive browser extension that pays you for looking at your social media ads. You get a free £5 start-up bonus too, which is nice!

Minimum payout: £10

Pros:

Passive earnings

Does not affect your browsing at all

Cons:

Slowish earnings
