Opinion Outpost

Opinion Outpost

What is it?

Opinion Outpost is a market research panel where you complete surveys to participate in, well, market research. Let's be honest, you're here for the money, not the opportunity to voice your opinion on whatever topics the site has to offer. And rightly so!

So, wait, what can I earn?

Let me be clear- this site is by no means as profitable as the likes of Quidco or Topcashback. You won't be earning stacks and stacks of money by answering surveys. Instead, you earn points per survey (I've found it's between around 5 and 15 per survey), each point being worth £0.05, which you can withdraw via BACS, PayPal, or as Amazon vouchers. It's not much, I know, but it's something.


That's not much at all!

True, but it's still free money. Not only that, but you get an entry into their £5000 Quarterly Cash Prize Draw for each survey you complete - even if you don't qualify for the survey.

Sometimes filling surveys can be extremely beneficial!
In addition, occasionally you'll come across a survey that allows you to participate in product testing. For example, in February of this year, I had the privilege of product testing the new Foster's Rocks rum flavoured lager. Not only did I receive 4 free cans of the stuff for 'testing purposes' , but after filling out their survey, I was given £5 for my time. This kind of survey doesn't come up often, but frankly when it does, it's brilliant.






Sign up, and start earning some extra money!

No juicy sign-up offers this time, I'm afraid. Just click the image at the top or bottom of this post, sign up (I recommend filling out your profile fully to allow Opinion Outpost to send you more surveys), and go. Happy earning!

The 'Make £1000 in 2 Weeks' Challenge: Day 6,7/14

Day 6/14

Back from a weekend of being lazy, and a rather disappointing Day 3, I set out today to get back on track for the challenge.





Betfair Casino - Deposit and wager £30, get £52.50 cashback. Rather than risk the full £30 in one roulette bet, I decided to play it a little safer - betting in increments of £1 on red or black, then doubling my bet if I didn't win. Obviously this isn't a fool-proof strategy (honestly, there isn't one!), but I'd hoped it'd make me more likely to keep my deposit as well as the cashback. Caution paid off, and I was able to withdraw £42 after my wager requirement.
Result: +£64.50.


I love Quidco

Netbet Casino - Deposit and wager £20, get £50 cashback. Slightly less successful with this one, but nonetheless, I was able to withdraw £16.
Result: +£46.00.


Opinion Outpost
I haven't made a post about this site yet, but I'll probably get around to typing one up pretty soon. All that matters for the purposes of this challenge, though, is that I completed a few surveys, and I was able to cash in 80 points.
Result: +£4.00.

Progress: £318.82/£1000
Earning a nice £114.50 for the day has put my progress back on track. If I can keep this going for the next few days, the challenge should be fairly easy.



Day 7/14


Ladbrokes Sportsbook - Deposit and wager £10, get £31.50 cashback. A pretty good offer - it was difficult to decide between this and the Ladbrokes Casino offer which required £20 deposit and wager for the same cashback. I chose this as the safe option - placed an easy bet, and won £13.64. I withdrew the £10.00, keeping £3.64 in the Ladbrokes account.
Result: +£31.50.


I love Quidco

William Hill Live Casino - Deposit and wager £20, get £40.00 cashback. As with Day 6, I played the roulette a little safer, winning £27.00 after meeting my wager requirements.
Result: +£47.00.

Progress: £397.32/£1000
With earnings of only £78.50 today (I admit, I've been a little lazy), I'm starting to regret taking the weekend off. After all, I'm just over £100 shy of where I should be at this point in the challenge. There's still a whole week to go, however, and I'm not about to give up just yet!
