Best Paid Online Survey Companies

Getting paid for taking surveys is a reality. Can you get rich? No, but you can make some extra cash. If someone is telling you that you can get rich doing this, please move on because they don't care about you at all. They are just trying to make money for themselves. Usually by the time you figure this out, they are long gone. I won't mention any names of the survey scams out there to protect myself, but I will tell you the ones that I trust and use to make some extra dough.

I have had some experience with paid online survey companies and would like to pass on my learning experiences. Before signing up with one of these companies there are some tips to follow to get the most out of your survey experience.

Yes there are companies that will pay you money for your opinion. Yes there are surveys that will pay you $75.00 or more for 1 survey, but this is very rare. Most surveys will pay a couple of dollars or points, but it's not unusual to get the $10-$20 surveys. Don't expect them every day, but they do exist.

Yes there are also companies that will pay you to enter your email address. It's usually 50 cents to a dollar. Yes there are companies that will pay you to read emails and try products. 

No you should not pay any money to find out how to find these surveys. This is what is known as survey fraud. These companies sell you a list of links that you can find for free if you know where to look. Not only that but they make even more money when you sign up through the links they send you.

I'm not going to lie to you. Some of the companies I will provide links to are affiliate links, but I will not steer you wrong just to make a dollar. These are good companies that are for real. No fluff here. If any of these companies ask you for money, please let me know and I will disassociate myself from them forever.

Tip One: Set Up Separate Email Addresses 

You do not want to use your personal email address. You will get flooded with email that you opt into and it's just better not to get it all mixed up. Trust me, you don't want to have to sort out all the different surveys you will get, not to mention the paid emails.

You should have an email just for taking surveys, an email for paid emails, and another email (or as many as you can) if you want to make some cash for giving your email address out. How this works is that you click a link, enter your email address and get paid (usually 50 cents to a dollar). You will get spam after that, so it's very important to have a disposable email address just for that. Some companies won't accept yahoo or hotmail email addresses so if you have some extras with your ISP that you are not using, you may have to use one of those. It's good to have more than one address, since you may not get paid by the same company for using the same email address.

By doing this, when you feel like taking some surveys, just log into your email account for surveys. Then go to your email address where you get paid to read emails and click on them. I usually let them pile up for a few days and read them all at once but you can clean them out every day if you wish. By reading them I mean clicking on a link in the email that confirms you read it.

You will get a lot of surveys and you will not qualify for all of them. To stop some of this, be sure and fill out the complete profile and answer all the questions that you can with the survey company.

There are a lot of places that offer free email if you don't have any left with your ISP. Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, Fastmail and many others. Remember we are keeping this at no cost to you so everything is strictly profit.

Tip Two: Sign Up With As Many Survey Companies As You Can 

You will not make much money with only one company. Sign up for as many of them as you can and before you know it, you will be making some extra cash.

Tip Three: Only Sign Up For One Service That Pays You To Read Emails and Fill Out Offers 

This is because these companies have a minimum payout and most of them have the same offers. So it's best to concentrate on just one of these at a time. That way you can get paid faster.

What Kind of Stuff Do They Ask You On Paid Surveys? 

This is a variety of things. They are usually looking for a specific group of people and you may not always qualify. Don't give up though, there will be plenty more chances to participate.

The survey could be about restaurants, movies you've seen, dvd's you've rented, paid teen surveys, fun survey questions, why people dine out surveys, survey of computer hardware industry, team working survey, survey of urban household, survey of buying behaviour of consumer, survey on human instinct and some are really cool fun crazy quizzes surveys.

Nice lens.

The best piece of advice I was ever given, was to sign up to lots of paid survey progams to start off with - as each one only sends out a couple each week, signing up to more than one ensures that you will get more through and as such make more money.

Good lens!
New Zealand residents can join Smile City, which is absolutely free, doesn't ask for your bank account or credit card details, and pays you in effect at least 30 cents a week just for clicking a couple of daily chores. Occasionally it sends you a full-scale survey about something related to New Zealand, with a minimum of 30 points if you don't qualify and several hundred points (about 10 per minute) if you do. Every 3300 points can be redeemed for a $30 cheque. So you earn about $5 per hour. (NZ $ currently about 50c US)

If you join using
this referral link, when you reach 400 points I will get 200.
