Paid surveys are becoming a very popular way to make extra money online. The sites that provide these surveys are owned or contracted by market research companies. These companies value your opinion and are willing to pay you for spending some time filling out surveys about various products.

New to online surveys? Here are some tips:

After you sign up with a survey site you will be asked give some demographic information about yourself, and possibly to take a few unpaid surveys. These are usually called profile surveys. Not all survey sites have profile surveys, but if they are available you should fill them out as soon as possible. Doing so will help you later to qualify for more paid surveys.

Once in a while you will receive a survey invitation in your email. Some sites may send you several invitations per week, while others may send invites once a month or less. The number of invites you receive also depends on your demographics. If you accept the invitation, you will first be given a screener, which is a few short questions to see if you qualify for the full survey. If you qualify, you can expect to spend from 5 to 20 minutes filling out the survey.

The amount paid for a survey varies widely - $1-$5 for typical surveys, to as much as $50 or more for highly specialized surveys. Most survey sites do not pay you directly after completing each survey, but instead send you a total payment after you have reached a certain amount. This amount is known as the minimum cashout.

 

Recommended sites in Paid Surveys

The sites listed below are examples of exceptional sites in this section of the directory.
Or, you can browse all 24 sites in this section.

American Consumer Opinion sends several screeners each month. Previously, users were sent a check after each completed survey, but you are now able to let your earnings accumulate in your account. There is still no minimum cashout and you may request payment at any time. Additionally, all members of American Consumer Opinion are entered automatically into a monthly cash drawing without having to do anything extra, which makes it very worth your while to sign up.

Global Test Market is a long running site that compensates well for its surveys and sends plenty of invitations. Users are rewarded for every single survey with "MarketPoints" which are then turned in for cash, at a rate of 20 MarketPoints = $1.00. Most surveys offer anywhere from 50 to several hundred MarketPoints for completing, and you will receive some points even if you do not qualify for a particular survey. You can also refer your friends via email for more points. If you join only one survey site, Global Test Market should be the one.

MindField Online sends several survey invites per week, and there may also be additional surveys available to you by logging on to their site. The site pays out around $2-$3 on average for completed surveys with a low minimum cashout of just $5.00. MindField has a large number of profile surveys, so as always you should be sure to fill out as many of these as possible - namely in the subjects you are most interested in - to qualify for the maximum number of paid surveys.

MySurvey (previously known as NFO MySurvey) is another survey site that rewards its users with points that can later be redeemed for cash. On MySurvey, 100 points is equivalent to $1.00 and some surveys offer as much as 1,000 points for completing. MySurvey features a number of different sweepstakes as well. There is a daily 10,000 point ($100) drawing for all members of the site - you only need to log on to their site to qualify for the drawing - and an additional $10,000 drawing awarded several times a year. MySurvey is also known to occasionally award bonus points simply for good participation on their site.

Your2Cents offers a few extra bonuses over typical survey sites. First, they reward you just for filling out your profile surveys - $1 each. They also have a few other types of surveys - text based surveys that you can receive on your cell phone, and telephone based surveys. These offer extra incentives compared to the standard web based surveys. Note that these extra surveys are entirely optional. Your2Cents has a minimum cashout of $10 and is available in the US and Canada only.
