Top 10 Online Survey Sites That Actually Pay
For some people “Online Survey” is a smart ways to make money online and for some it is a nightmare. Yes it can be a nightmare if you are not careful in choosing survey sites that are legitimate. There are notorious sites that would charge you subscription fee and will disappear. Always remember any fee as up front have chances of being scam sites and they just want to run away with your money. On the other hand, you might come across sites that will ask you fill the survey and shop online to get rewards, remember such sites only require new leads and you would have to extract a lot of them to get to the ones that would really pay you.
But the real question here is, are their legitimate sites? Yes, there are definitely genuine online survey sites that pay you in cash or rewards. The best way to avoid scam is just not to get registered with sites that ask for signup fee. With genuine sites you are sure to make money, but bear in mind you cannot make a living taking up surveys and no site would pay you XXX money for just filling out surveys. But of course, you can make handsome supplementary income of 1$ to 10$ in an hour time. So to make your work easier in locating legitimate site, I have taken a comprehensive list of Top 10 Online Survey that actually pay and is worth your time!

Top 10 Online Survey Sites That Actually Pay
Surveysavvy - Surveysavvy is one of the oldest and best survey company to work with. The payment structure is always via check and usually sent within 3 or 4 weeks once the survey is done. They send you survey now and then depending upon your demographic location. You might not see surveys dropping in your inbox daily but once you have it is worth taking up, as the cash out could differ from 1$ to 30$. You are less likely to survive on Surveysavvy if you violate their terms and conditions!
Mysurvey – You will get surveys daily and the payment structure is based on points. Once you have 1000 point in your account you are eligible to fetch in 10$. You might face lot screeners, but you will not go without paid. For taking up a survey you get 10 points, but if you qualify then you might get points anywhere between 200 to 2500! In fact, their surveys are fun to deal with and basically upon shopping. You also have a little application to download for letting you know about each new survey if you wish!
Brandinstitute – This is an interesting site that sends you survey on new and forthcoming products. Mostly these products are about medications and households goods. Once you complete your survey you would get your money in your PayPal account within 6 weeks. Each survey last for about 20 to 30 minutes and pay is around $5 – 20$. You will get lot of surveys each week and you have more chances to qualify!
Opinionoutpost – This is relatively a new market research company, but indeed good. The payment structure is via points – 1 point = 10 cents USD. Their survey could be of any kind and if you want to get more surveys then make sure you fill your profile. The frequency of surveys is about 3 to 4 a week. Do not forget to refer people to this site as each referral is worth 10 points that is $1.00!
Surveyspot – You will get lots and lots of surveys with Surveyspot. You would have to fill out few screeners before getting a paid survey. Many a times you will also get their products via UPS to test and survey is sent after a week. So you can use the product, fill in the surveys and get paid as well. Pay structure is via checks and pay is about $2.00 to $20.00 for each survey. Cash out is possible anytime with this company!
Esearch – Esearch is simple and neat company to work with. You will get about 2 to 5 surveys each week. And the payment structure is via PayPal. Each survey has some form of “incentive” involved. Most incentivize all respondents and some have drawings. In all instances the incentive is clearly spelled out in the survey invitation. These incentives range from $1 to $5.00 or more. Easy to work without any complications!
Harrispollonline – Harris Poll Online powered by Harris Interactive is a very interesting and active survey panel. Payment structure is via points and you make minimum of 30 points with each survey. Their surveys are not only diverse in nature, but will also lead you to another survey immediately if you qualify. The more survey you take the more you have chances to qualify for cash prizes ranging from $10 – $10,000!
TestSpin – You can make up to $15-$20 for a survey with TestSpin if you qualify. Survey invites are always with email notice and incentives are mostly cash. Although you get lots and lots of surveys it might be hard to qualify. Moreover they can also ask to fill up surveys strictly by males/females or a particular age group or ethnicity. Surveys usually take about two to four weeks to complete.
Mindfieldonline – This is another small but straightforward site to deal with. You get surveys about once a week. Payment structure is via PayPal and you must have $10.00 to ask for cash out. Most of the surveys are small and pay you about $2.00 each. It is not hard to quality surveys with mindfieldonline!
Ithinkinc – Their surveys are fun to fill up, although you may not receive often. Payment structure is via check and you get it usually in 3 to 4 weeks after the survey is completed. You would get some screeners before the paid survey is sent. They are mainly about household goods and products!
Taking an online survey is of course an excellent technique to make spare cash. However, certain things like opening an email account and PayPal is a must. The most important thing is to read their terms and conditions before signing up. Do have a note of all the id and password once you start registering with companies. Start taking surveys and see the cash flowing!

all this about doing paid surveys ive tried most or at least i think ive tried most, joined all the make £30 a survey hardly ever seen a penny just keep getting entered into prize draws. ive been a member of http://account.pureprofile.com/Login/?referrer=3051446 this has been the only site that pays real money i doubt very much if i would ever get rich or make a living from doing surveys from this site or any other, but it does pay real money.
when i first joined the surveys lasted 5mins and i got paid between 50p to a £1 that was over a year ago the surveys were few and far between i guess i earned about £10 a month at first.
i could of earned more by cheating and answering surveys that i new nothing about, but i think by being honest and answering only surveys that did apply to me my profile credability has improved and now i get more indepth surveys that last 30mins or more.
i can be paid upto £10 each since xmas my account has earned me the grand sum of £200 its not a fortune but helps towards paying for my summer holiday.
so be honest answer only surveys that do apply to you and see the surveys and money start mounting up.
i hope this was helpfull to someone

Making money online is not so simple as everyone think, make money working online with simple membership websites, or CPA is one of the most often choices, but not the easiest ones . One of the easiest ways, maybe not so profitable as CPA is AdSense websites, there are a thousands of great templates optimized for this , promotion of niche keywords in Google is very simple.

This article really helps! Another good site I use is http://www.fgimarketresearch.com, the surveys are quick and easy and I get the choice of cash or to be entered in their monthly sweepstakes. Great way to earn some extra cash $$$

I probably would not have contemplated this was valuable two or three years back, yet it is interesting how age evolves the way you respond to stuff, many thanks for the blog article it truly is great to discover something wise now and then rather than the usual rubbish disguised as blogs and forums on the web. Cheers

i personally use http://www.soulstreak.com/ and i love it. they pay pretty good too
June 26th, 2010 at 6:42 am
Thanks Man for this great article.
It helped me a lot to find legitimate sites other than Global Survey Market.
Global Survey Market is pretty good. You should add that to your list. A lot of people here saying that too.

hi,
its a nice post on online survey site!
Really liked information of this post and online survey is best for making money online
July 14th, 2010 at 12:49 am
Thanks for this info. Do these sites accept people from South Africa? Okay don’t worry I will check them out.
The survey companies in SA charge a joining fee, and they justify it by saying it is a way to separate the curious from the serious. Huh… ya right!
July 22nd, 2010 at 12:48 am
You may want to check out some directories online such as http://www.findmysurveys.com and yellowsurveys as well.
These are the sites that don’t lead you down the spammy path just asking for your money.
Your list is good as I found a few that I enjoyed.. thanks!

There are many people who desire to participate in online surveys. But many lose interest early
in their progression. The key to making a lucrative income is to persevere through the first 3-6
months of completing any survey that one would qualify for…regardless of it payout even if it is
just a small payout like .25 cents. This will only be in the beginning.
As time goes by many of the survey companies will see the interest in a long term commitment and
start to send very high paying surveys ..sometimes up to $50/survey.
This also will increase in frequency as continued involvement progresses.An excellent Survey Data
Program to review is Surveys4checks

Try this paid to click website, it pays me $3 for every ad i click. it maybe little but it’s still money. heres the link: http://www.incentiveclix.info/index.php?ref=jeremiahliew2 happy clicking^^
September 7th, 2010 at 1:51 am
well ive tried global market and a few since i my first post on here, and i still stick with my decission that pureprofile is the best choice for paid surveys. the amount of money is small lately £2 is best ive been able to earn but if they say you can earn £2 then you will earn it. not like the other survey sites that say earn £10 for completing a single survey, then you find after filling in 20mins of boring tick boxes you get a message saying thank you but you have not met the requirements need to complete the survey.
September 9th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Please send me true paying survey invitations.
September 15th, 2010 at 7:03 am
Check out this site: http://easysurveysforcash.tripod.com/
I started taking surveys in my spare time awhile ago, and I used that site to find which survey sites to use. The author gives a nice description of each site, and the sites are real. I’ve tried a couple of them now, and I’ve yet to find one that was a scam.
The sites are real, but you just can’t expect to make a living off of them. It’s a great activity for your spare time, though! I make about $45 a week; a pretty good amount of spending money.
September 22nd, 2010 at 11:22 pm
That’s good at least you do have now an extra income.

I have used almost every survey site listed on this page, i can say they are legit but often boring. But I can’t complain on making a couple extra dollars each month, but I’m surprised http://www.cashcrate.com/2536295 is not listed. It’s a well known survey site due to its referral program, people have made thousands a month. I hope to get there eventually!
