The basics
What it is and how it works
Install the app, answer occasional short surveys (often location/shopping based). Android typically earns Google Play credit; iOS can pay to PayPal above a small threshold.
Where the money comes from
How the model works

- You answer and get paid per task
Honest numbers
What you could realistically earn
Google's app listing historically cites up to about $1 per survey. Surveys are infrequent — expect pocket change, not a reliable monthly income.

Illustrative only, using the published range for Google Opinion Rewards (£0–£10 a month). The yearly view simply multiplies by 12. It is not a forecast: real results vary and many people earn less.
