I've been doing surveys online for a long time - I save up the money and use it for Christmas and birthday gifts as well as small treats for myself. Sadly, a lot of the panels I like to use have either closed, or changed their reward structure. It's hard to find good new panels - many of the ones I've registered with suddenly stop sending survey invites when you're close to the payout. Either that, or payouts go missing, or you get screened out after wasting a lot of time.
Between the scam panels, and the ones that sell your details so you get flooded with spam, it's getting hard to find the good survey sites, and that's what SurveyCompare is here to help with.
This site has tips, case studies (some people do manage to make respectable cash in their spare time) and advice on how to avoid the dodgy panels, and how to find ones that will actually reward you for your time. A lot of the articles are things I already knew, but the survey site ratings are really useful, and I found a few new panels that I'd never heard of, and that are actually paying out!
