The BEST Legitimate Survey Sites

Yep, you sure can! Every product manufacturer needs market research before they release a new product. Why? First of all, they need to figure out if people even want the product they are creating. Secondly, they need to find out what features people want. Also, they need to decide on a price point for the new product. There are several other reasons why a company would need market research but those are the main reasons.

The easiest way for companies to get this market research is to create surveys and pay survey companies to get consumers to take the surveys. The survey company takes a portion of that money and then spreads it out equally for each user who takes the survey. Not all consumers can take every survey. Why? Well, certain products are only used by certain demographics and it would be useless to ask someone outside the demographic if they would buy a product or how much they would pay for a certain product.

That's why survey companies create "survey panels". By creating a panel, they can take demographic information such as household size and income, age, employment information, hobbies, etc. With this information, they can only send you invitations to surveys that you qualify for. Not all survey panels are equal. Some are notorious for not paying. Some send surveys you don't qualify for, wasting your precious time. That's why I created this lens.

I have personally joined these survey panels and tested them for various factors (except for Valued Opinions). I am posting my favorites with important information such as payout threshold and frequency, length of surveys and "Survey Police" ratings. Survey Police ratings are basically reviews created by other survey-takers. They rate the same things that I do and Survey Police provides a percentage of how many users would recommend the survey panel. When I say "Recommended by __% of Users", that information comes from Survey Police.
