YouGov, Branded Surveys

In February, 2022, Populuslive rebranded itself as Y Live.

Y Live, part of Populus Limited, based in the UK, is a popular market research company. The panel was established in 2003 with a presence that has grown to 75 countries worldwide. The panel does research in the business, culture and politics sectors. Joining the community is simple - start by filling out a short and simple registration form.

Payment and Rewards

Earn £1.00 for Every 5 Minutes

Y Live gives its members the opportunity to earn £1.00 for every 5 minutes they spend on a survey. Depending on the length, most surveys pay between 1 to 3 points each (1 point = £1.00) and take usually about 5 to 15 minutes to finish. Please note that rewards will only be credited to your account once the survey is closed. This could range from one day to three months, depending on the research and nature of the study.

Cash in at £50.00

Once you have accumulated 50 points (£50.00) you are eligible to request a cheque or a BACS payment at the next payment date. The payment date is at the end of each month and if you requested a cheque, it will arrive within two weeks after this date. BACS payments typically take a few days to arrive. On average, Y Live issues 3000 monthly cheques to members who have reached the threshold for payment.

Survey Taking Experience

Survey Taking Details

Surveys with Y Live are designed to be interesting and varied on subject matter. Most members will receive about two survey invitations weekly to express their opinions and insights on a given topic. Participate early! Once survey space is filled, you will not be able to answer.

Monthly Prize Draws

Each time you screen out of a survey - which may happen if you do not meet the required participant profile, you will be automatically entered into the monthly prize draw of £250. The draw will take place on the second Monday of each calendar month and winners are notified within 4 weeks of the draw taking place.

Eligibility: Open to residents of the UK only. 16+

Quite good

April 21, 2020 by Marie from United Kingdom

I've done populuslive surveys for years and my only complaint is that quite often i can get halfway through a survey then be told I'm not qualified for it and get kicked off (annoying on the £4 surveys) but you can't be suitable for all of them. I've had quite a few cheques otherwise and now payment is bank transfer which is easier but still takes a good 10 days or so to transfer over.

Worth your time

April 21, 2020 by Asia from United Kingdom

One of the only survey sites worth joining. Interesting surveys and fair rewards, now pays via BACS which is great and speedy.

Great site

April 21, 2020 by Sue from United Kingdom

Good selection of surveys, and rewards are paid straight into your bank.

Generous reward and Interesting surveys

April 21, 2020 by Becky from United Kingdom

I have enjoyed filling in surveys for Populuslive, probably the most interesting ones I do. They involve giving opinions on anything from adverts to experiences on public transport to political issues. They pay well and it goes straight into your account now, now even better!

Satisfied Customer

March 5, 2020 by Stuart from United Kingdom

Good surveys with grown up questions, and good level of rewards. Have used for several years and have never been disappointed. Well worth considering. Generally works well - no problems with payments when you hit the £50 mark but it takes a while as the surveys aren't that prolific. Surveys usually well-constructed and interesting, not too long and rewards are generous. Would be nice if you could cash in for a smaller amount perhaps but one of the best paying survey sites I’ve been fortunate to contribute to.
