    Surveys That Pay!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I started keeping records of my online paid surveys January 31, 2008. I spend an average of two to three hours per day taking surveys. Here are the amounts that I have earned from my 30 best paid online survey sites. I have earned $4682.72 in 26 months from 30 survey sites, which is $180.10 per month. The average survey site earned $6.00 per month. My actual receipts are $4498.82, which is $173.03 per month. I have added the dates that I joined each site as well as whether they have PayPal, Invokes or product tests. About 10% of my earnings are from product tests and Invoke Interactives. I do not keep track of prizes or free products, but I do include contest wins. I only add in points accumulated after they have been redeemed due to the difficulty of calculating point values.

    Wow LapisLee, you definitely keep a good track of all of your earnings! I can't say I'm as organized as that, but I, just like yourself, have earned around the same amount of money from paid surveys.

    It's not going to get us rich, but the extra income doesn't hurt. I usually do surveys in my downtime when I'm in between tasks at work or have some spare time after working on some of my online stuff at home. Once you start doing surveys, it gets even easier to crank them out (pending that you have plenty of survey invites).

    All in all, it's a good way to make some extra change each month.

    GoSynovate.com and i-say.com are my favorites,because they give reward points for surveys that you do not qualify for!I also like pinecone research as well!

    try treasuretrooper.com

    you could do up to 6 surveys a day that could add up to $4.75. So you could get $145 a month. There are other ways to get paid, just check their forum. You need to have min. of $20 to get cashed out.

    getagrip: Try checking out Maximum Paid Surveys. They are not free to join, but they are the best in my view, and one of the most ethical.
    does this comapny have surveys for no US residents? I have attempted surveys before but for some reason I do not get invited to take part. My assumption was that being south African, maybe most of the surveys are irrelevant for me.

  16. I have to agree with Paul, it seems like a lot of energy for not so much pay back. Perhaps some just enjoy doing surveys. I'd have to earn a lot more to invest so much time. [​IMG]

    I'm for the survey idea here and there, I feel if you manage things well, you can have reasonably profitable little bursts, but no one is pretending that this is a full time job..... i think I agree most mekap04's choices, though I must say for a local approach I do quite like Hiving.co.uk/.us/.fr, it operates internationally but has totally separate country specific sites which is nice, doesn't have that usual bland feel!!!

    Ill be sure to check the website that you guys have mentionned but I've been using Viewpoint Forum, they are great. I recevied ny payments on time, they even send me products to use and give my opinions, like tootpaste (2 times) and specially paper towel (4times in 2011). So they are 100% legit.

    Yes, I agree with with some of the previous posters have said. They key is to not view surveys as a way to earn or replace an income. Can you make money? Absolutely. But it's often in the hundreds a month, not the thousands. As I have said on previous posts, I call survey my money making gravy. I make my fun money from them. And for that, it's worth it to me.
