No much story let go straight to the point.How To Legitimately Make
Money Taking Online Surveys- Tips and Tricks to Make Your Online Survey
Panel Membership Run More Smoothly")
If you have read the prequel
article to this one, you already understand the overall basics of paid
survey sites, what they are, why the exist, what they pay and what they
want from you. Now that you have an overview, you are now ready to
successfully sign up for various web survey panels. Following is a
comprehensive list of all of the survey sites
I have used and enjoyed. The list, being carefully narrowed down to
include only those sites from which I have received a substantial
incentive, contains links from all over the web to market research
companies looking to reward you for your consumer or professional
opinion. This is not a full listing, as there are many many more
supposed "Paid" survey sites out there but again, these here are listed
because I have physically witnessed the prize merchandise or cash
reward.
Test Spin
Test Spin
Survey invites come always in the form of email solicitation sand they
nearly always offer a cash incentive. I've gotten anywhere from a buck
to $15 for a single Test Spin survey, the money which goes into a Test
Spin account you've signed up for and is redeemable for cash once you've
reached a fairly low payout minimum. These surveys are plentiful and
are offered quite often, but they feature very specific topics and are
hard to qualify for. It is not uncommon to find a lot of available Test
Spin surveys offered to strictly males or a particular age group or
ethnicity. The good ting is, under your panel member account, contact
info and email address, you can have the responses of a friend or family
member that does match the profiles dictated to you by the appropriate
person and if you fill out the survey on their behalf, you get credit.
Just make sure for everything except for the long forms seeking your
name, address info and where to send your money, you remember who the
survey profiles matched with and check off their gender, age, etc info
for them and not yourself. If you forget to do this, you'll disqualify
for the incentive.
Greenfield Online
This website is a market research paid survey classic. Consistent in
its heavy activity it seems as though this is a portal to many surveys
for all types of profiles and ones that come and go in what often seems
like a day or two. The site and open survey list (usually there are
about 10 available surveys) are obviously updated regularly. These are
some of the best opportunities on the web, for if you qualify, or are
answering on behalf of someone who does, you are guaranteed to make
between $1-5, the exact amount which you will know ahead of time. Like
Test Spin these are often for very specific demographics with a
particular tendency to solicit survey takers in certain US cities, but
chances are you know someone that lives in these zip codes and can
answer for them to get some extra cash. Check in with website often to
see open survey listing as I do not think Greenfield Online sends email
alerts to members any longer.
J.D. Power and Associates
The JD Power Panel is consumer research company who offers incentives
by the way of Amazon Gift Certificates and occasionally, cash, for
completing surveys. While the surveys do not come to your mailbox all
that frequently, the opportunities that do come are fairly easy to
qualify for, offer many points (which add up to redeem for certificates)
and are not all that long.
Harris Interactive
Harris Interactive is a very active survey panel that gives loads of
points (usually a minimum of 30) that are referred to as HL Points. The
surveys tend to be diverse in nature, broad in scope, but are overall
more fun it seems than those from many of the other companies. Depending
on your answers you may fly through a survey in ten minutes or find
yourself sharing your opinion for up to thirty, but I definitely would
say that the time is by all means worth it with Harris Interactive. Once
the points add up you can select merchandise such as electronic
equipment and accessories, DVDs, CD cases, and plenty more. Once you get
your password for this panel, be sure to write it down in a spot you'll
remember, too because it is randomly generated and usually something
that you will be likely to forget, having not been the one choosing it.
E-Rewards
E-Rewards is one killer way to earn quality gift certificates to an
array of diverse and highly desirable retail outlets, online stores and
extremely fast too! It seems that once you show interest in taking these
very brief (with large incentives) surveys, the people at E-Rewards get
excited and send you a whole bunch more all at once. If you stop
filling them out for a while though, you know, suppose you get a life
temporarily or something, you should note that the emails from E-Rewards
might start to dwindle. This intuitive nature of the site might be my
imagination but I somehow do not think so. Either way, I've exchanged
over $300 in E-Reward Money for gift certificates to an Electronics
Store, Months and months of freebies at Blockbuster and just recently, I
took advantage of their latest incentive, a very generous amount of
Dividend Frequent Flyer Miles for US Airways, one of my favorite names
in fly friendly transportation. This site offers plentiful, quality
rewards for very little effort. Just be sure when they ask you what you
are interested in for your basic original profile you check off
everything. That way you will get all the opportunities you possibly can
to earn rewards.
NFO My Survey
NFO, My Survey market research panel is great fun, and definitely a wise
use of your time and mine. I recommend jumping to take advantage of
every survey offered to you before it closes because the 10+ pints for
each one add up extremely quickly and you only need approximately 1000
points or so to cash out $10. (Through a check in the mail, I've
received over $90 over time). The surveys are very short and take an
average of ten minutes or less to complete. Even better, if your answers
qualify you to take a longer version of the questionnaire, they will
offer additional (usually a lot of) points for you to proceed and only
request your opinion if you so give them this extended survey go ahead.
This panel now has a little application you can download to your
computer (harmless) that enables a little window and doorbell sound to
pop up and ding! On your desktop the very moment a new survey for your
demographic profile is available. This way you can take full advantage. I
do recommend utilizing this feature, because, again, this site will
most certainly, if even only gradually, bring in a decent amount of
supplementary pocket change "flow".
Your 2 Cents
Your 2 Cents has opportunities to take surveys, at least for my
specific profile, probably about every other month or less. That is,
ones that pays. A very colorful and creatively designed website makes it
easy to view your survey stats. Surveys can pay as low as a dollar and
from what I've seen, as high as $16 The surveys usually stay active a
while but best bet to jump to it quick after receiving alerts so you
don't miss out. Reward is US Dollars in Check form mailed through the
USPS to your humble abode.
Survey Savvy
Survey Savvy has been around a long time in the market research
community and is one of the major sites dealing with consumer panels and
paid survey market research studies. They offer surveys, on and off,
with no real pattern except that like many of the others I've mentioned,
several seem to come in one week and then you might go a month with no
survey invitations. These pay cash through a mailed check, once again
courtesy of the USPS. The payments vary in the range from $0 to $10,
typically. The surveys are also usually fairly interesting. but the best among them is this one here
