I just finished a survey about politics, took me about 10 minutes and got $3.50 for it!

And about testing products, I've done kleenex and toilet paper. Plus a couple times I was sent a tv show in the mail to watch and then report back. I also did a study where I sent in my utility bills

Here's a piece of advice for anyone who wants to get into the survey game. Answer everything honestly! It can be tempting to answer differently if it increases your chances of qualifying for the studies but trust me, these companies are smart and will catch you! A friend of mine once did a $50 survey but lied about a lot of things and got caught, needless to say he forfeited all his earnings.

And also be careful when filling out the surveys, once in a while they throw 'test' questions like 'Answer this question strongly agree'. If you don't answer that particular question the way they just asked, you get kicked out of the survey and may get your account suspended.

I just added a poll to it, do you recommend this method. This will help people take a step.

Thanks,

Zoom Panel – Accumulate points and cash them in for rewards. Please email me for a referral.

DRAWINGS

Global Opinion Panel- Each survey is for an entry into their cash drawings. I am new to this site. But I have heard of others getting product tests from them. GlobalOpinionPanels.com

Greenfield Online- This site primarily enters you into their drawings. They send out a lot of surveys. Some surveys are paid, but far and few between. Their payments are very slow to receive. You can cash out at any denomination. Not one of my favorite companies, but when the surveys are slow I will do a few of theirs in hopes of being offered more paid surveys. I have done 2 product tests and two focus groups. To date I have made $79.00. greenfieldonline.com

Survey Spot- Most surveys are for their drawings. I do get some offers of paid surveys. I also have done three product tests for them (one paying $25.00). surveyspot.com/joinus.htm

SGSB2- This is Stanford Graduate School of Business. Most of their surveys are for drawings; occasionally they have a paid survey. They pay by Paypal or gift certificates. You have to check their website daily for new studies. sgsb2.experimentrak.net/

Here are two great forums for survey takers. You can meet new people and get great advice. They have helped me immensely.

online-sweepstakes.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39
freepaidsurveys.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=22

There are many more companies that I am signed up with, but they haven’t proven themselves to me yet. You can check out the forums listed above and make up your own mind. I am also discovering new sites and try to join at least a couple of new ones a month


I hope this can help some of ya'll

those links up there are the ones that I use when I do my surveys. You get the surveys by email. And a lot of products. Not all surveys you will qualify for but it is worth a shot. As I said those are all the links that I use

Default Legitimate Paid Survey Sites

I have been taking surveys online for almost a year now and I have made thousands of dollars so far and counting. The key is to sign up for as many of the good ones as you can. The best ones are the sites that pay well and send surveys consistently. I have written a blog about this which includes links to some of the best paid survey sites I have found. You can check it out here: legitimatepaidsurveysitesforyou.blogspot.com

Here's an updated list of survey sites that have paid me (no referral links or anything, just a simple list)

Lightspeed Panel - $195 I have made in 3 years, no its not a lot but they pay within 2 days of requesting.

MySurvey - $200 and been a member for 3 years.

Survey Savvy - $44 been a member for a year

Opinion Outpost - $102.50 been a member for a year

ACOP - don't have exact numbers but it was a small number, they don't send out a lot of surveys and I don't qualify for most of them

Your2Cents - blah, only $8 in a year

Surveys.com - another small amount that I don't remember but i have been paid quickly

GlobalTestMarket - $164.75 in a year

Pinecone reasearch - been a member for about 6 months and have made $50.

Surveyspot - been a member for about a month and have made $10. Most of their surveys are only for entries into a 'grand prize' drawing.

I.Think - another small one, been a member for about a year and have made about $20.

I would like to put my stamp of approval on Opinion Outpost. I have been getting a lot of surveys from them lately and qualifying for them. In the last 3 months, I have made $77

I'm also almost ready to cash out for another $50 from Global Test Market.
