In my spare time, I do online surveys for extra cash. It’s not much, but can add up (after a year, I average about $80 a month). If you have the time and find them interesting, I recommend it. I use my survey money towards things I would otherwise hesitate to buy, like books and DVD’s, etc. Plus, a lot of these sights send you products to test. So, you get free stuff and are paid to use it! Can’t beat that.
Here are some links to a few of the more lucrative sites I use.
(none of these sites create any spam or unsolicited emails & all have a strict privacy code!)
- Pinecone Research ($3.00 per survey paid to paypal account. This survey company is very restricted, you can only join by a referral link and this is one of them. Note: this link may be temporary. So join now!)
- Global Opinion Panel (Synovate) This is one of the best. They send lots of surveys, easy to build up points and they also send products to test often. One of my favorites.
- SurveySavvy.com (****Hey all IT Pros!****) Always cash surveys, a lot of IT surveys worth 20-25 bucks each! But they don’t send invites that often. Please if you join, use this link as I get credit for referrals!
- My Family Survey Points redeemed for cash; easy and quick surveys)
- Lightspeed Surveys Points redeemed for cash or stuff; easy and quick surveys)
- Toluna Surveys (formally Your2Cents) All cash ranging from $1-3, sometimes more. They send out a lot of invitations so your points add up quickly.
- SurveySpot mostly sweepstakes surveys, but cash now and then (and it will tell you in the subject if the survey is worth cash. I just delete the ones that aren’t worth anything)
- Global Test Market points redeemed for cash when you have 1,000 - each, but each point is worth 5 cents & you get five points even when you don’t qualify for a survey!
- Opinion Outpost Always cash and they just started using paypal for payment. Most are worth $2 or more each. Click on the graphic below to sign up now because I get points for referrals!
If you want to know more about online surveys in general or any of these particular sites, just send me an email.
TIP: Completing the profiles really does generate more surveys your way. If you work in the IT industry or Medical industry, you can really make more money as those types of surveys tend to be worth more for some reason. Owning a pet can also generate more surveys your way, as well as having teens living at home. So be sure to complete the profiles to really cash in.
