Populus Live







Populus Live is a little different to the majority of other survey sites. Most of the surveys they send have a political theme, usually currant news stories or general questions about who you think should be running the country and more importantly how you think they should be running it.  They do send out some retail based surveys but these are few and far between.  

This site says they pay you £1 for every five minutes of your time, with an average survey lasting fifteen to twenty minutes and while I have never timed this, is it probably about right. There are a couple of draw backs for being so well compensated for your time, the pay-out threshold for this site is £50 which  comes in the form of a cheque which is automatically sent out when you’ve earned it,  the other is the survey availability, sometimes you will received two in one day but often they are less frequent.
These surveys offer a real sense that your answers may actually make a difference, that your opinion matters. So my advice would be to stick with it, don’t worry about the pay-out, try to forget about it if you can and the cheque in the post will be a huge, very welcome £50 surprise.
