Frequently Asked Questions

What is YourPoll?

YourPoll is an innovative market research company conducting online polls to a paid panel of Judges.  We assist agencies, business, news organisations and public bodies to gather the opinion of either consumers or business owner’s attitudes, wants, needs and preferences. The opinions and information gathered are used by these organisations to tell stories, determine their product strategy and what services to offer.

What’s an online survey?

Online surveys are used by businesses and public bodies to inform them about what the public or a section of the public think.  The information is useful and so people are prepared to pay for you to complete them.  With YourPoll you can simply sign up to become one of our Judges today and start earning real money straight away.

What’s a Judge?

A Judge is our name for panellists on our range of YourPoll panels who can earn money online by completing our paid surveys.  Judges are rewarded for the number of surveys they complete and once they have reached the payment threshold they can get paid quickly using our online payment partner, HSBC.

Is it legit?

Yes – and we’re registered with the Market Research Society (MRS), who have their own code of conduct for market research.

Who pays for it?

Paid surveys are funded by agencies, businesses and public bodies to get feedback from the public on opinion. That’s why when you start a paid survey we ask for some information about your so that we can match surveys to your demographic.

Who can become a Judge?

Anyone 18 or over and registered on the UK electoral roll can join Yourpoll and become a Judge.  Of course you’ll need to have access to the internet.

Why the electoral roll?

It means we can check you’re a “real person” which gives our surveys the highest level of integrity.

Do I have to pay to become a Judge?

Quite the opposite – you start to earn as soon as you’ve completed your profile survey.  We pay you for completing our surveys and opinion polls. Never pay someone to register for paid surveys.

How do I become a Judge?

Simply enter your details on the registration page and you’ll be sent an email taking you to our profile survey.  Once you’ve completed this we’ll create your account and hey presto! You’ve become a Judge.  You’ll then be able to login to your portal to see what else is going on and how much you’ve earned.

What’s the portal?

Your portal is a password protected private area for you to see what surveys you’ve completed, what surveys are open to you and most importantly, what you’ve earned so far.

When you hit the threshold, you can hit the “Pay me now” button and get paid straight away.

You can also update your profile to make sure you only get relevant online surveys to complete and see your status.  We reward Judges for completing surveys and have multiple levels to reflect the number, frequency and engagement of Judges, both in completing online surveys and in engagement with the YourPoll community.

Will I get lots of irrelevant invitations?

One of the reasons for our profile survey is to try and make sure all the online surveys we send you are relevant to your circumstances.   For example, we try to ask parents questions about parenting and car owners questions about motoring!  Keeping your profile up to date will increase the relevance of the online survey invitations you receive.

Can I have more than one account?

No – it would undermine the integrity of our online surveys and telephone surveys as it would mean the results were skewed. So, having more than one YourPoll account is strictly a no-no.

What’s in it for me?

Good question.  Your Opinion Matters and so we are happy to pay for your responses.  So, for a few extra quid for treats, surprises or beer money why not earn money from home by completing our online surveys.  We try and keep them to the point and interesting and youll not just earn money online nut help to inform and shape all our futures.

How many surveys do I have to do?

It’s up to you how many online opinion poll surveys you complete – the more you complete the more opportunities to earn money online, working from home or during breaks at work or university.

What sort of surveys do I get to complete?

If you become a Judge you will receive invitations on all sorts of different topics, from motoring and travel, parenting and work to food and entertainment.  If you are a business owner or executive we might ask you questions more relevant to your role.

Are the surveys anonymous?

For sure – the results of all our opinion polls, whether conducted online or over the ‘phone are kept anonymous.  We aggregate the data so no individual can be identified.  We will never sell your personal data (name, email, phone number) to anyone else or use it for any other purpose than YourPoll.

How long does it take to complete a survey?

Surveys vary in length but the longer they are the more you can earn online.  The profile survey is the longest we’ll ever ask you to complete and takes around 10 minutes.

Typically, the rest of the online polls we ask you to complete are around 30 questions and take about 2 to 3 minutes to complete.  Every time we ask you to complete an online survey for money we will tell you how long it will take and how much money you will earn.

What’s the benefit to me?

You’ll earn a few quid – not enough to give up your day job but enough for treats or beer money.  Your opinion matters and you’ll have complete flexibility in which surveys you complete and where and when you complete them.

What’s a payment threshold?

Great question! We pay Judges £2.50 for completing our “profile” survey and then 40p per survey for completing other general-interest surveys.  Judges can earn more by completing longer surveys or completing them over the phone for speed of response.

The threshold is the amount you have to earn before you get paid money online for completing surveys.  Its currently £27 and you can earn towards it by completing more opinion polls online.

How much will I earn?

This isn’t a “get rich quick” scheme – it’s a way of earning a few quid towards treats or surprises.  So, the straight answer is you’ll earn around 40p per survey and so you’ll earn more money online the more surveys you complete.  We tell you how much you’ll earn for every survey so you can quickly tot up your earnings.

What’s more, you can look in your portal to see what you’ve earned.

Do I get paid in vouchers?

No. Cash! Once you’ve hit the threshold you can transfer the money into your bank account using our easy payment service through our provider, HSBC by the next working day.  You simply log into your portal and click “Pay me now” and follow the simple on-screen instructions.

You don’t have to wait 28 days to get paid, you don’t get unusable vouchers – you get paid in real money, real quick.
