Earnings Roundup - March 2018

So, can you make money from survey and GPT sites? Each month I'll show you what I made the previous month, explain a little about the sites and apps I used, and keep a running total for the year.
Here's the total so far:

January 2018 - £327.88
February 2018 - £203.73

So, March 2018

After a quiet February, march started out pretty well - I took about a week off in total due to work stuff, but other than that stuck to an hour or so a day.

Let's see how things went...

Swagbucks

Swagbucks is my favourite site, probably because it was the first one I joined, and it's the one I make the most from.. It's mainly video apps, surveys, clicks, offers, trials etc. If their advertisers aren't paying much  then there's not always a lot to do. I don't like doing surveys, so I rely on the video apps (which I can leave running while I do other things) and other parts of the site to earn. Some days in March I didn't even get the chance to do that, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had managed to cashout £115 in March.

In addition to this, one of the surveys I did on Swagbucks gave me the chance to do a telephone survey which netted me £100! These don't come up all the time but when they do, they're nice.

You can sign up to Swagbucks by clicking here. Read how you can get a bonus in April, then sign up using your email address, not the Facebook option.

InstaGC

I love InstaGC because there's a lot of opportunity for passive earnings (ie not having to do anything). I mainly run videos on here, there are 4 streams of videos to run and I run them all as often as I can. There are also surveys and offers, the same as Swagbucks, and a lot of the surveys are short, which I like. 

It was quiet at the beginning of the month as there weren't many advertisements on the video streams and I had problems running a couple, so I didn't make as much as I usually do. Add to that the days off and I was happy to have cashed out $171.28 to Paypal, which worked out at £120.83

Branded Surveys 

Branded Surveys, which used to be called Mintvine is a bit of an acquired taste these days but I kind of like it. I don't earn as much as I used to from it, but I stick with it because it pays for my Pizza Express addiction.

Like the others, it's surveys and offers - no video options anymore, which means actually DOING something on the site, which is one reasonI don't make as much these days.

In February I cashed out £20, in Pizza Express vouchers. You can also cash out to Paypal, Tesco, Amazon etc, but I use it purely for Pizza Express for a nice treat every month.

You can sign up to Branded Surveys by clicking here - new members tend to get some good surveys for big points and little effort so definitely worthwhile.

Prolific Academic 

Prolific is purely a survey site, but as it's an Academic site the surveys tend to be really interesting and sometimes even fun. There's sometimes an option to earn bonuses, but in general they're one of the better paying survey sites. The only dowside of this site is that they don't email you when a survey is available, so you have to check the site regularly and as such it's easy to miss out on surveys / studies. Payment ranges from pence per study to pounds - in the past I've done stuides worth £16, £20 and more.

Newbies on here tend to get a lot of studies - in my first month I made over £100. This tapers off after a while, and that, combined with the fact that I didn't have a lot of time to be checking in March meant that I only made £16.39 - must try harder!

You can sign up to Prolific by clicking here. Be sure to complete all of the prescreening questions and to check in often.

Minor Earners

I have a few phone apps and other sites that I also use that take up very little time, and I can do while in the car (as a passenger!), watching TV, waiting for the kettle to boil, in queues in shops etc. 

CitizenMe

Short (4 or 5 questions usually) surveys that pay small amounts immediatelyto Paypal. You'll have to search your app store to find it and it's never going to make you rich but every little helps! March earnings - £0.82

Attapoll

Another app that sends out surveys every couple of days - there seem to have been quite a few in Feb so I was able to cashout £5.14. They pay to Paypal within a couple of hours.

You can get Attapoll by clicking here - it's pretty straightforward and will alert you when there is a survey available.

Panelapp

One of the easiest apps I have - simply log in each day to gain points. Occasionally there are short 1 question surveys, usually based on where you have been using data from your GPS. It's most definitely not a big earner, and you can only cash out to Amazon, but I had enough points to cash out £7 this month. You can get Panelapp here.

OnePulse 

Another app with quick surveys - 2 or 3 questions mostly so very quick. There are paid and unpaid surveys - the more of the unpaid ones you do the higher your payment for the paid ones. I cashed out $5 on this one this month, which worked out at £3.71

Imutual

This is a new one to me. They have cashback offers and daily free clicks. Just by joining and clicking a few times I made £1.25 in March. I'm going to try and remember to do this one every day in April, so we'll see what the free clicks add up to when I do the next roundup!

Total

So that means that March 2018 came in at  £390.14 - not that great, but not that bad either. Hopefully April will give me more passive earnings and a higher total.

That's £531.61 from January - Feb, plus £390.14 in March, making a running total of £921.75 so far this year.

Hopefully April will be better!
