THE DUBIT NETWORK:
Dubit is a company set up to give more for teenagers across the UK. There are loads of different things it does. Firstly there is the Dubit.co.uk website. On the site you can do as little or as much as you want. You need to be a member to be able to use all their facilities. Membership is easy to make and it takes about 2 minutes. Once you have made a membership you can add a blog and pictures if you want (I have not bothered). Then you are ready to go. You can use dubit chat which allows you safely to chat to other users. You can get a dubit card which I talk about in another review. Another option is to be part of dubit insider, this is where you do simple advertising tasks and get reward, e.g. Nintendo DS Consoles and High street vouchers.
DUBIT INFORMER:
Dubit Informer is a site which allows 11-25 year olds participate in surveys about all sorts of things. The ones I have had, have been about, TV, pocket money, internet, play jam (games you can play on sky TV), climate change, banking and many more. You get paid to answer these surveys.
You have to make a separate account on this site which is a bit more detailed. You fill in all sorts of questions but it is not very taxing as it is tick boxes!! Here are some examples of the questions, what are your favourite individual activities, what are your favourite team activities, what is your favourite designer brand, what is your favourite sports brand, how much time do you spend watching TV, what is your favourite magazine. It takes about 10 minutes to do. Unlike loads of companies once you have given them your e-mail address they NEVER send you spam.
Once you have made your account you are ready to go. On the homepage there are quick links to the surveys, about us, balance, newsletter, my profile and a place where you can change your date of birth. Each week a newsletter comes out you can read it online and it gets delivered to you by e-mail. Unlike many company newsletters this one is brilliant. It's not just about dubit as it tells you all the interesting stuff that is happening around the world. Also on the newsletter are links to the week's surveys.
The surveys themselves are great and fun to do. There are between 1 and 6 surveys out each week (normally there are 2 or 3). Each one pays differently you get between 50p and £2 a survey. They do not take very long to do, on average I would say 2 minutes. But the more you get paid the longer the survey.
Once you have reached £25 you can get the money by a bank transfer. That is the only problem I can think of about Dubit Informer, it takes ages to make that £25. I have been doing it for about 4 months and I have reached £15!
Every now and then you will get an e-mail saying that Dubit Informer is doing something special. For example I got an e-mail yesterday morning it went a bit like this.
Welcome to this special Informer newsletter!
What we would like you to do is spend 5-10 minutes a day first of all writing a diary and then some questions in front of a video camera. This would be every day for 7 days, you would get £40 for this and you would need to send me the tape at the end of next week.
