YouGov is an online market research platform that conducts online polls on politics, public affairs, products, brands, and other similar topics of general interest. They have a huge community of over 5 million people with 800,000 only in the United Kingdom.
It is free to join for anyone over the age of 16 years. They teamed up with a large group of clients, so as to get genuine reviews for their products & to predict the user intent.
They pay 50 to 250 points for completing each survey & you can redeem (₹3,600) via Paytm once you reach 5000 points. You can get up to 25 points for profiling surveys and from 50 to 250 points for regular surveys.
On average, they send 2 to 3 surveys every week into your mailbox. All you have to do is to sign up for YouGov & turn on email notification. It may take more than 5 to 6 months or even less than 2 to 3 weeks based on the number of referrals you have to make 5000 points with YouGov.
The best thing about YouGov is that their surveys are interesting & there are zero chances of disapproval.
Minimum Withdrawal: 5000 points via Paytm (You can also donate to MSF)
My Experience: YouGov Review
I have joined YouGov in late 2018 when one of my friends referred it to me. At that time, I thought that YouGov is just like other scammy sites that don’t pay even after completing the surveys. This is so because I have tried many survey sites & found that most of them seem to disqualify me for their polls.
After I sign up for YouGov, I have completed my first profiling survey which helps me get 50 points into my account. But when I saw the minimum balance that I needed to withdraw, I was shocked. (5000 points)
I have decided to leave YouGov. This is so because even after 2 days, I hardly get any survey!
After 2 days, I got an email saying “You have a new survey from YouGov!“
I just don’t want to complete the survey, but also wanted to give it a try. Finally, I decided to give it a try (I just want to know whether I qualify for the same or not).
Whoa! I got qualified for the survey & got 150 points after completion.
It helped me in building my confidence & made me believe that this site is genuine. In the same week, I got one more survey for 100 points. My total score is now 300 points.
Since I don’t know much about the referral system, I continued to complete surveys as often as they arrive. I have made over 3,700 points just by completing surveys, but it takes me over 5 months (April 2019)
In May 2019, I got only one or two surveys which made me quite disappointed & I thought all my time & energy got wasted. I have only 4,100 points in my account till June 2019.
One day, I opened the YouGov panel so as to contact their support team, but accidentally found their referral program (I have found it earlier too but don’t believe it at that time). I shared my referral link with friends on Whatsapp & Facebook &…..
…Now! I have over 5,700 points after 2 weeks without completing any survey.
This is how I have made my first 5,000+ points from YouGov.
Finally, I have withdrawn my points for Paytm Cash (equivalent to ₹3,600). They have mailed me an email saying, “it might take up to 30 days for you to receive cash into your Paytm wallet.
I was wondering whether they will send me the money or not. I have got two more surveys after withdrawing my points, but I have completed none of them.
Even after 14 days, I don’t get a single penny on my Paytm wallet.
Finally, I got my money on the 15th day.
Payment Screenshot:
This is how I get my first 3,600 ₹ from Paytm. I have also withdrawn my other 5,000 points in the next 7 days. Want to know how? Read below.
How I made my next 5,000 points in the next 7 days?
It’s true that it takes more than 5 months for me to withdraw my first payment from YouGov. But the most surprising thing is I earned more than 5000 points (nearly 5, 710 points) in just 7 days of withdrawing from my previous earnings.
Now the question is how do I do that?
Referrals!
Yes, referrals help me get a lot of points. YouGov pays 200 points for each successful referral (after they completed the first 5 surveys).
So the next question is how do I get so many referrals?
And the answer is simple; I have the payment proof!
Showing the Payment proof to my friends on Facebook & Whatsapp, I have acquired a number of referrals that help me get up to 5000 points every week.
A note to readers 🙂
I know it’s hard to make a number of referrals, so I’ve provided my payment proof above. You can show my payment proof to your friends & make awesome money. You can also appreciate my efforts by sharing this post with your friends.

Final Words
I am using YouGov for the last 6 to 7 months & withdrawn up to ₹ 7,200 from it. It takes me more than 5 months to get my first earning from YouGov while I got my second payment just after the 7th day of my first withdrawal.
This can be done only because of the strategies that I have shared in this article.
