How I earn money online

When I was on maternity leave we had less disposable income than our household was used to. I turned to the internet to see if there were any ways I could earn money online. The following websites are ones that I use to earn myself extras for my family.

Nectar Adpoints.
This website asks that you watch short videos (usually between 30 seconds up to 2 minutes) and rate them at the end. It gives you nectar points for every one that you watch and sets a limit of 250 nectar points per week. This is the equivalent of £1.25. In case you don't know, Nectar points are a reward scheme from Sainsbury's and you can also earn these points by shopping in store. 

Nectar Canvass.
Following on from the last website, Nectar Canvass is also a Sainsburys run website. You complete surveys in return for nectar points. 

Yougov.
This is another survey website. They email you when a survey is available, I usually get 2-3 a week. They issue points when a survey is completed. The points are usually 50 or 75 depending on the length of the survey. Once you reach 5000 you can 'cash out' for £50 sent via cheque or bank transfer. I average £50 every 7 months.

Ipsos Panel.
This is another survey website. Points are given for each survey completed. Can vary between 5 points and 400 points. Once you reach 1380 points you can 'cash out' for a voucher of your choice. Lots of high street retailers vouchers are included in the option list.

Shop and Scan.
This is an usual one where you have to apply to be on the panel. Once accepted you are sent a barcode scanning device and a user manual. They ask that each time you purchase anything you scan the barcode with the device and upload it by Sunday evening each week. For this you earn 1100 points per week. If you upload a picture of the receipt you earn an extra 500 points per week. Once you reach 10000 points you can 'cash out' for a voucher. You get to pick which voucher you want. Retailers include Argos, H Samuel, Toni and Guy.

Petrol Panel.
This is also run by the Shop and Scan company except you upload your petrol purchases. You don't need to keep the receipts for these, you just type in how many litres you have bought, from where and for what price. 2500 points are given per month.


The vouchers and Nectar points I earn from these surveys are nice little extras to have. The nectar points usually get spent on nappies or other baby items during their half yearly baby event. The vouchers are being saved up to buy our wedding rings from Ernest Jones.

Most of the ones I have mentioned require little effort and can be done whilst watching the TV on an evening. You don't realise how much they can add up to buy I sure would miss the rewards if I didn't do it anymore!

Thanks for reading,
