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+

A complete waste of time

November 28, 2016 by Jane from United Kingdom

After two payouts in seven years, I have given up with PopulusLive as a complete and utter waste of time.

One of the best

October 5, 2016 by Richard from United Kingdom

The payouts are very good, you do not get loads of surveys maybe a handful a month. They are usually interesting.. Screen our rates are not too bad with these.. I wish they would pay via paypal instead of cheque though

One of the Best

August 9, 2016 by Annetta from United Kingdom

This is one of the really professional sites. Clear and easy to use, helpful and speedy when there's a problem, and quick to send a cheque when it's due.
Great experience and well worth using.

my second best survey site

July 17, 2016 by paula from United Kingdom

surveys are easy to do payment for each survey is good they pay you in a cheque that takes about two weeks to come after you reach the cash out level.
the most i have been paid for a survey with them is £5.one of my favourite sites.have to reach 50 points -£50 does not take very long to reach this

Great site

July 7, 2016 by Mark from United Kingdom

PROS :

* Great, quick surveys that are well paid.

* Automatic payout that doesn't take too long after reaching the £50 threshold.

* Payment by cheque - you can spend it on whatever you like rather than useless tokens / vouchers that usually end up on Ebay that you get from many other survey sites..

* If you get screened out of a survey, it is usually very quick.

CONS :

For a supposedly neutral political survey site, their questions on attitudes are very skewed towards the right-wing.

* Too many crappy 'consumer' type surveys creeping in lately...although you only have to fill out the surveys that you want to.
