Described below are various legitimate free sites that reward individuals for their opinions and time.
A Jumbled Mix of Success and Scams
Here's what you need to know.
Anybody who's anybody has been confronted by dozens of schemes that allow you to make loads of money by doing virtually nothing.If you don't know it already, the majority of people who promise to make you a millionaire in a week are scamming like crazy. Most of the programs they offer are illegal in some way, and they will just take your money. **NEVER EVER pay to join a 'survey' company!!!** So you have two options. You could make up some scheme like they do and risk pounding out license plates at the state pen.
On the other hand, you could try out a free site that pays you small amounts of cash or rewards you points that can be converted into cash, gift certificates, or sweepstakes entries.
Newest Additions
Recently added free survey sites.
- PineCone Research
- This has easily become my favorite survey site. While I am wary of sharing the details (because it could get me 'fired' by PineCone), trust me when I say this is a great site.
However, registering isn't as easy as we would all like it to be. You have to search around and find the PineCone banner ad in order to sign up.
Happy searching! - Brand Institute
- Rewards: Cash. No minimum payout.
- FocusLine
- Rewards: Cash upon completion of online surveys and focus groups.

- This company offers paid surveys that vary in value (usually $1-10). They pay out in $10 Amazon gift certificates that are instantly emailed to you. TestSpin is also pretty quick about crediting your account with completed surveys.
