Paid Online Surveys

Taking online surveys is one of my favorite ways to make a little extra money. They are fast, easy, and you can take them at your convenience! Being a member of several survey sites will give you the most opportunities to earn. Each site will send out surveys at different frequencies. I usually take 20-30 minutes each morning when checking my email to fill out a few – starting with the highest paying surveys. You will not get rich taking surveys, but every little bit counts!
If you are interested in doing online surveys it is very important to make sure they are legitimate! Never pay them or give your credit card information! Since it is hard to tell which ones are worth your time and which ones aren’t, I’m making it easy for you! I’ve compiled a list of legitimate online survey sites!
I’m a member of the following sites and have received payment from them:
- Pinecone Research Panel – My Review
- My Survey – My Review
- Your2Cents
I’m a member of the following sites but have not received payment yet:
I am not a member of the following sites, but I know someone who is and has received payment OR I have heard a trustworthy good review of the site:
- Opinion Outpost
- Dollar Surveys
- Synovate Global Opinion Panels
- Survey Savvy
- Ipsos I-Say
- American Consumer Opinion
My advice is to join as many survey sites as you can. Then, once you start receiving surveys, you can determine which ones are your favorites and which ones aren’t worth your time. You have to figure out which ones work for you!

You are right that paid surveys are a great way to earn extra money.
I am a member of almost all the survey sites you mention… We review several paid survey sites on our blog, as I have been doing paid surveys online since 1999 or so. I would not recommend Panda Research, however. If you do a quick Google search on “Panda research scam”, you’ll see why. I signed up for Panda Research a long time ago, and never received any payment from the site. Just a heads up.

You’re welcome! We will be posting updates on paid surveys on our site from time to time. We also have a “recommended paid survey list” on our site too, under the “free money” section. I am addicted to online surveys, lol!

Hi I went directly to the pinecone research and emailed them and they told me that they are not accepting people right now and like you said you have to apply when you see a banner or ad.
I will check out the other online surveys that you have posted.
Thanks for the information.

SurveySpot is another legimate site. You receive entries into sweeps each time you take a survey, can win instant prizes and on occasion are offered cash for surveys. I’ve only received small amounts of cash, but I really enjoy their surveys. I’ve tried them all and SurveySpot is one of my faves.
