YouGov. It's got, "Gov," in the title, so it must be good. Right?

Despite its name, YouGov is not run by the British government, although it does claim that the British and other governments take heed of the results of its polling and market research. It's a very straightforward site which really offers nothing other than surveys and polls, when it comes to money-making possibilities.

Although I don't mind it, it's not one of my favourite survey sites because, in my experience, surveys are rare. They're also not hugely interesting and they don't pay particularly well (usually 25p-50p).

Given that YouGov is such a slow-burner when it comes to making money, it's also a minor annoyance that you can't cash-out until you've amassed £50. You're also paid by cheque, not direct transfer or PayPal, just to drag the process out that bit longer.

I'd say YouGov is worth signing up for, as it's relative straightforward and undemanding but, in terms of earnings potential, it's somewhat below par. On the other hand, you may get to help influence government policy by using it, so perhaps that alone may be sufficient motivation to take part.

Regardless, if you want to sign up to YouGov, you can do so via this referral link. If you do so and complete six surveys with them, I'll receive a £2 bonus from them.
