Hi just a quick one to let you guys know that I have been looking at ways to increase my income whilst on maternity leave and although its not alot there are ways of making a couple of pound here and there doing online surveys. One on which was introduced to me through emma's Diary so I knew it was safe a legit. There are many online which I dont think are safe and I no there is alot of e-mail spam about asking you to take part in surveys as part of a get rich quick scheme (which IS NOT SAFE). However I have joined a survey scheme called" New Parent Panel" not sure if you will have heard of it but its basically where you make anything from 88p to £5.00 for taking part in a survey. Its surveys are for pregnant and new parents when you register you answer a load of questions which could be relevant in a survey and if a survey comes up which meets your details in your registration profile it will be e-mail to you for you to take part in there. Once you have submitted enough surveys and made a minimum of £8.00 you can have the payment paid direct into your bank account through pal pal. Its safe and easy to use and you dont have to enter any bank or address details. I have just transferred my first paying through palpal into my account for £58.00 its taken a while to build as I only registered for 6 e-mails per month but its better than a kick in the teeth when money has to stretch even further than normal when on maternity leave.

I am looking into so others so if I find any which research shows is safe then I will let you guys no. I have currently investigating (Cash back research).

There are a few others about which I have been talking to a few people about to find out if they are safe or not (on of which is called Cash Back Research) However I am still looking into this website as I no not sure if its safe or not although I cannot find any information on Google that suggests its not real or led-git. If anyone knows any different about Cash Back Research please let me know as I am currently judicious about using it but find these market research websites (obviously safe ones) are very helpful when it comes to helping out with your finances or saving for something special.

Hope you find this blog helpful.

P.S Oh if you are part of Emmas Diary and havent already got your baby montiors there is a voucher on there for digital video monitors for £45.00 from Argos instead of £100.00 (worth signing up and using the voucher for I've just used mine for them and gotta say I am over the moon I got the ones I wanted that I couldn't have afforded without the voucher).

Hi

Haven't used the site uv suggested but will defo have a look now!

Don't know if any of u have heard of Martin Lewis' s site moneysavingexpert.com but it is fantastic for advice on saving money and tells u loads of really useful info on thousands of offers/discounts and benefits info etc. There's also a big section on how to bring in some extra dosh - def worth a read. One way is through the survey sites and the good thing is that the staff research the companies so u know they're legit. Seem to work similarly to the ones jay1987 mentioned, but surveys subjects differ depending on ur lifestyle and interests. Amounts paid for each survey can vary but might be worth a shot to bring in some extra pennies and pass ur maternity leave before baby comes (I know some ladies get really bored waiting!)

Mite want to set up a different email account just for these surveys tho cos I sometimes get a bit of spam and don't always notice the surveys in my inbox!

Yeah am defo gunna have a look to. Just be careful when hunting around some of the ones where it says they pay so much per hour are massive scams and full of spam. Do research on them before you sign up, let me know if you find any others worth checking out and I will do the same lol. Xx

Hi Ladies, also try the bounty panel and Valued Opinions. I have been using the latter for years which gives you vouchers such as John Lewis, Amazon etc which come in handy to treat you, the house, husband or baby! X

MyVoice is also a good one. Takes a while to build up enough points to redeem a voucher but surveys are super quick and easy.

I've just redeemed a £20 for Boots to go and buy baby things :-)

Never had much luck actually making money on the surveys. I signed up to 3 (Emma's Diary, Word of Mum, and another I can't remember now). Either was 'not eligible statistically, or they had already filled their quota for the survey by the time I got to it. The rest were 'we'll enter you into a competition for like £250 or vouchers... Which of course I never won. Something I did enjoy doing was the Tesco panel work. They send you samples based on what you buy acc to your club card. Got free nappies, nappy cream, nipple pads, bin bags and kitchen roll. :) Hope it works out better for you guys though.
