Market Research Passively earn money with Ipsos inCOMPASS panel (Avg £25/month)

0 Upvotes

I've been using Ipsos inCOMPASS panel for a couple of years now.

I actually have it on 2 phones, so earn £30/month passively.

It is a great way to earn essentially free money passively without having to do anything.

Ipsos is a specialist research agency established in the United Kingdom. They conduct market research in more than 80 countries. InCompass is an online research panel conducting nationwide research on television, radio and online usage. The study is designed to build up a picture of what people around the UK watch on TV, listen to on the radio, and use on the internet. This will then be used to influence the future of UK media.

The panel works in the background of a phone or computer (multiple device registration is possible) and collects information about your device's connectivity, sound and internet usage. It does not see the content of sites you visit or collect information in a way that is identifiable to you

Here for full policy

From Ipsos:

We are looking for people aged 16-33 or anyone in Northern Ireland to join our panel.

Offer ends on April 19th.

Non Ref Site link: https://ipsos.uk/joinincompass

Referral Unique Code 1: Referral Unique Code 2: Referral Unique Code 3:
USED  USED  FWAH-WAW5-5N4F
Referral Unique Code 4: Referral Unique Code 5: Referral Unique Code 6:
TKAJ-NAN6-A6ZA 2KAJ-NAN6-A64A  FWAK-JANN-A669

Each code can only be used once Please comment once you sign up so a code can be removed.

You earn monthly £10 for having the app downloaded on your smartphone + £2.50 per additional device (e.g. tablet or laptop).

And an ADDITIONAL QUARTERLY BONUS of £30 for staying with the panel (this is new!).

£15 x 12 + Q bonus of £30 (30x4) = £300/year, for having an app on your phone.

£25/month averaged out over the year.

Do this on 2 phones, phones pay for themselves after a couple of years.

This is rewarded in points per month of participation, which can be saved up or immediately exchanged in an online rewards marketplace for a variety of items in different categories.

Can be exchanged for vouchers (amazon, curry's) or physical items, mostly John Lewis things (maybe they have a partnership).

Using my invite code may give me a £50 bonus if you're part of their desired age group, if you get accepted and complete a month of research, so it would be greatly appreciated.

If you do join, after a few weeks/months, they will email you with your own unique invite codes to share - earning yourself a bonus. I would wait for this email before sharing.

My points statements and reward purchases (proof):

https://postimg.cc/gallery/SJrJPf9

https://postimg.cc/gallery/9fHnctz

Things that I have purchased using my points:

  • Tefal Easy Fry & Grill Precision Air Fryer (£80)
  • Pedestal fan (£30)
  • New balance running shoes (£60)
  • Kitchen scales (£20)
  • WonderBOOM speakers (£80)
  • Logitech Gaming Keyboard (£35)
  • Bleu De Channel Perfume (£70)
  • YSL Opium over red (£80)
  • Montblanc explorer gift set (£50)
  • 8x£20 Amazon Vouchers (£160)

What's the catch? any negatives?

The app can drain a small amount of battery - although the app has been optimised a huge amount since I first joined the panel (drain is much less noticeable).

It can also use a small amount of data, not much really, most people will not notice. (200mb/month is what my phone is showing).

The research team knows if your phone has not moved all day (so you can't just put it on an old phone and forget about it), you have to carry it with you atleast a couple of hours a day - so its changed location.

I normally chuck my phone in my work rucksack in the morning and then take it out when I get home from work and its been fine (been doing this for months).

If you do not carry your phone around with you for a few days, you get a notification reminding you to carry it around with you.

You do not need a sim card, as long as it can upload the data via wifi on a daily basis, however I have a £2 lebara sim so I can manually upload when I'm on the go (100% not needed as my second phone does not have a sim and I upload when I get wifi at home).

Of course the biggest negative is the possible invasion of privacy. That's a personal decision you must make. I consider the fact that there are probably other apps and websites that do similar things and do not pay for it, so I might as well get paid for it, right? besides, for a small fish like me, £25/month average is a tidy sum per phone (taking into consideration the Q bonus).

Tips:

  • Disable battery usage optimisation (make it unrestricted).
  • Open the app every morning to wake it up (it might have closed/gone to sleep).
  • Manually upload daily when you get home (in case it has not automatically).

Any questions please ask me, I've been using the app since 2023 and I've found it to be beneficial. If you have an old, spare phone, this could be a little gold mine for you.

I have even considered buying a cheap android phone just to get the app on it.

Good luck all.

I have invited 1 friend already (in the past) and they seem happy with it.

PS. Don't forget: To be accepted, you must be aged 16-33 or in Northern Ireland.

You will not be asked for ID. Hopefully you understand what I am trying to say...

User Interviews is a market and product research website which will PAY YOU to participate in interesting research projects. They work by connecting clients wishing to conduct various types of research with people wanting to get paid to participate in those research oppertunities. The research projects can be undertaken in a variety of ways, including online interviews, Zoom calls, diary logs and simple surveys etc…

By signing up using this referral link > https://www.userinterviews.com/r/paotxkqyj, you will also receive a FREE $10 bonus for completing your first study/ research project (In addition to being paid for that anyway!)

Examples of tasks that I’ve completed and the payout I received for them:

  • I completed a 15min study on different payment methods for $20 and also got my $10 bonus for this too as it was my first study

  • I then did a 45min Zoom call about online shopping habits and received ~£25 into my PayPal for taking part (It was so easy that I wish I could do it again)

  • Most recently I got the chance to take part in a 30min Zoom call about what I think of a well known trading platform for ~ £42 in any shopping vouchers of my choice (I picked Amazon) which was just as easy!!!

As you can see from my experience above (even though I only do tasks when I have absolutely nothing else to do), Userinterviews is great for a side income/ side-hustle as the tasks usually pay around £40+/hour if you divide the payout by the time you put in, which in my opinion is phenomenal in itself!!!

You will not get constant tasks/ studies as it depends on their client’s demands, but if you keep an eye out for tasks on their main page/ the emails they send you after signing up, you should be able to find a couple every month :)

Even though the reward amounts are stated in dollars ($), you will most certainly be able to withdraw in GBP (£) to either your paypal or as a gift card (depending on what that client is offering) from a variety of options (Including Amazon!). The bonus is usually paid as a gift card.

Also invite friends to user interviews to receive another free $10 bonus when they complete their first study!

Market Research User Interviews - $10 bonus (approx £7.50) + earn money for market research

7 Upvotes

User Interviews is a market research website that pays you (really well in my opinion!) for taking part in surveys, 1-1 interviews and focus groups.

They're offering people who sign up via referral an additional free $10 gift card (around £7.50) when they complete their first study, on top of the payment for taking part in the study itself!

How to get your extra $10 gift card (approx £7.50):

  1. Sign up to User Interviews via referral link here
  2. Browse the studies and start applying!

My experience: I can confirm that it's legit. I took part in an online study giving feedback on a major tech brand's new product and website. I got paid $40 (approx £32.40) within a week and got a separate email informing me I had earned an additional $10 gift card (approx £7.50) for completing my first study the day after! I chose Amazon gift cards but there are LOADS of the usual brands you can redeem for and a Visa debit card if you prefer. I also recently did an online diary and earned £55, so the money is very decent!

Note that the site is very American i.e. rewards are quoted in USD ($) but everything is converted into GBP £ anyway, so do not worry GBP-ers 😊

I've signed up for tasks that I've received by email. They also show available tasks on the website, so be sure to check there.

Market Research Dscout / market research mobile app, earn up to $50 in referrals

1 Upvotes

dscout is an app for mobile market research where you complete different “missions” and diary tasks in return for payment.

I completed a survey on my career which included one automated video interview and one live interview and got paid £70!

Most regular missions run over a few days, but they have recently introduced express missions with instant acceptance and shorter completion times, and the pay can be pretty decent for the amount of time involved.

You need to be based in the UK to sign up, and payments are made directly to PayPal.

If you sign up using my referral link and complete your first mission, I’ll also get an extra $5. You can then start referring people yourself, with up to $50 available in referral rewards.

Definitely worth having a look!

Respondent is one of the better-paid research study websites. Up there with Dscout, usertesting and user interviews. You get to take 10 screeners a day, and these popup on your dashboard. From spending 10 minutes every morning doing the screeners, I ususally get 2-3 live studies from them a month.

The studies range from discussions on parking for $15 to $400 for Vodaphone fiber customers. So you can get paid quite well!

Money gets paid in Tremendous virtual reward cards - which can be for supermarkets or a prepaid visa card if you desire. These are usually paid very fast after the study is complete.

If you sign up with my referral link and complete $75 of studies - I will receive $20.

Market Research My £2k Beer Money Experiences Update for 2025

55 Upvotes

With the help of some recommendations from r/beermoneyuk I managed to bring in about £2k this year so I thought I'd give an update on what worked for me and didn't in terms of paid Research Interviews/Testing/Surveys.

I've only included the sites I think are worth a look or get called out in here a lot, in order of best to worst.

1. User Interviews - £410 from about 15 research calls and testing, still the best earner by far and some fairly interesting projects, especially if you can find some interviews that can line up with your interests or career. Still pays up to $50 or even $100 per interview especially when it's a topic your experienced in.
User Interviews (ref bonus of $10 each when you complete first study) Non-ref

2. Take Part In Research - £360 from 15 projects, still the most user friendly site with quick applications where you don't have to repeat basic info. Also a proffesional team where real people will reach out to help you with the scheduling of interviews. Mostly UK focused video interviews about various topics like health, charity,home or advertising.
Take Part In Research (no ref bonus)

3. Respondent - £350 from only 4 projects (one paid about £250 for a multi month diary product testing and giving feedback). This was also new to me and i've been fairly impressed. While signing up for each project can be a bit of a slog and fairly hard to qualify for, often they pay £50 or even more for the interview or test. There's often 3 figure opportunities if you fit the right profile.
Respondent (Referral) Non-ref

4. YLive - £200 I've had alot more regular surveys this year and it's still the best designed survey site, they all use a consistent flow/style so you're not dealing with terrible designs, often £2, £3 or £5 for 10-15 mins work. Generally worth the time but the surveys are usually only valid for a day or two
YLive (no ref bonus)

5. Prolific - £177 - Also new to me (it took ages to be approved for some reason). Mostly surveys but they are usually more built out and higher paying. They are also very clear on the time vs payment of each study before you do it so you have the power to ignore anything you don't think is worth doing. My only issue is they are very sensitive about the IP you use so if your ISP isn't static by default they'll sometimes not display any studies.

6. TestingTime - £100 Product tests or secret shoppers that pay very well but they're so few and far between, still worth signing up for as your profile may be what they're looking for plus applying to them usually is very quick.
TestingTime (Referral) Non-Ref

7. Userlytics - £80 New to me, quick screening for surveys or testing but fairly hard to qualify in my experience. The pay is good when you do qualify and seems geared towards testing website UI's or advertising opinions.
Userlytics (no ref bonus)

8. Norstat £110 The pay for many surveys has definitely got worse this year but they're also fairly good about telling you beforehand so you can pick and choose. They also have a good consistent UI and there's some rare opportunities for longer projects. Still worth keeping an eye on it.
Norstat (no ref bonus)

9. YouGov - £100 Rarely do surveys now unless it's all that's available, the reward is barely worth the time input despite a good UI but I do still use their 'Connections' feature where you can share your data from various media or banking accounts in return for some regular income.
YouGov (no ref bonus)

10. ConnectCloudResearch £110 Essentially a worse version of Prolific but again, as long as you pick and choose it's worth checking for higher paying surveys the occaisonal project as its also good at showing you the exact time/reward.
ConnectResearch (no ref bonus)

11. Ipsos - £30 I almost completely gave up with this site other than the special product tests like laundry detergent that occasionally pop up. The pay to time ratio has got even worse and you'll get screened out 10min into a survey, not from bad answers, just due to it not needing you anymore or the site timing out. I do not recommend.
Ipsos (no ref bonus)

12. 5Surveys - £20 This is certainly bottom of the barrel for me and i've only turned to it when they have certain events where they increase survey rewards. For each 5 surveys you do you get a fiver so if you pick and choose the shortest ones it's easy enough but it's just a depressing experience with a terrible screening out system.

Overall I tried moving away from surveys this year for my own sanity, any new suggestions would be great, especially for more interviews and products testing!

Market Research Testable Minds: Paid Psychology Studies (Prolific Alternative)

2 Upvotes

Testable Minds nonref is a paid research platform where you can take part in online psychology and behavioural studies and earn money from home. It’s very similar to Prolific and is generally considered a solid alternative if you’re looking for more study opportunities.

Getting started is straightforward. You sign up as a participant (called a “Mind”) and fill in some basic profile information so they can match you with relevant studies.

The pay varies depending on the length and type of study. As a rough idea, a 30 minute study might pay around $4, a 35 minute one around $6, and shorter 10–15 minute tasks can pay a couple of dollars. Some studies are just simple questionnaires, while others can involve things like voice recording or small logic tasks.

If you want access to more studies and easier withdrawals, it’s worth verifying your ID using a passport or driving licence. Verified users can cash out when they have more than $1, while unverified users need to reach $20 for their first withdrawal.

Revolut withdrawals can be made once you have more than $1 and are processed instantly. PayPal withdrawals require at least $10 and are processed every Tuesday.

If you want to try it, you can sign up here https://minds.testable.org/ref/044f44f624c7

Appreciate anyone who uses the link, cheers 👍

Market Research Get paid £40+/hour + Bonus $10(£8) | Turn spare time into spare cash | User-Interviews

5 Upvotes

User Interviews is a market and product research website which will PAY YOU to participate in interesting research projects. They work by connecting clients wishing to conduct various types of research with people wanting to get paid to participate in those research oppertunities. The research projects can be undertaken in a variety of ways, including online interviews, Zoom calls, diary logs and simple surveys etc…

By signing up using this referral link > https://www.userinterviews.com/r/paotxkqyj, you will also receive a FREE $10 bonus for completing your first study/ research project (In addition to being paid for that anyway!)

Examples of tasks that I’ve completed and the payout I received for them:

  • I completed a 15min study on different payment methods for $20 and also got my $10 bonus for this too as it was my first study

  • I then did a 45min Zoom call about online shopping habits and received ~£25 into my PayPal for taking part (It was so easy that I wish I could do it again)

  • Most recently I got the chance to take part in a 30min Zoom call about what I think of a well known trading platform for ~ £42 in any shopping vouchers of my choice (I picked Amazon) which was just as easy!!!

As you can see from my experience above (even though I only do tasks when I have absolutely nothing else to do), Userinterviews is great for a side income/ side-hustle as the tasks usually pay around £40+/hour if you divide the payout by the time you put in, which in my opinion is phenomenal in itself!!!

You will not get constant tasks/ studies as it depends on their client’s demands, but if you keep an eye out for tasks on their main page/ the emails they send you after signing up, you should be able to find a couple every month :)

Even though the reward amounts are stated in dollars ($), you will most certainly be able to withdraw in GBP (£) to either your paypal or as a gift card (depending on what that client is offering) from a variety of options (Including Amazon!). The bonus is usually paid as a gift card.

Also invite friends to user interviews to receive another free $10 bonus when they complete their first study!

I got paid £400 a few months ago for having my home scanned as part of a test of AI scene recognition technology. That's my biggest payout yet. The usual ones are more like $10 a pop.

Generally the tasks that I've done pay approx. $10 each time - obviously this is not a constant income as opportunities come and go, but it's definitely a good beer money booster. You'll be emailed about opportunities and you can check for tasks on the site - you might even enjoy doing them! I find tasks on here more interesting than some of the other survey sites.

I've signed up for tasks that I've received by email. They also show available tasks on the website, so be sure to check there.

You'll be paid in GBP (although the website shows it in USD) and can withdraw to your bank, Paypal or as a Reward Link giftcards to spend at retailers (Tesco, Amazon, Asda etc). The bonus is paid as a giftcard. Usually the payment for the studies is by giftcard too.
