Paid Online Surveys

MySurvey is one of the first paid online survey sites I joined and it's still one of my favorites. They have consistently given me surveys every week every since I have joined. Their rewards are easy to earn, and you don't have to jump through hoops to get your money either.

I will admit that MySurvey doesn't pay as much per survey as other sites, but the steady flow of survey opportunities and ease of receiving my payment more than makes up for it.

With each survey you complete for ZoomPanel you earn ZoomPoints. These points can be exchanged for gift cards to restaurants and retail stores. You can also spend your points on DVDs, CDs, magazine subscriptions, and more.

They have several different kind of surveys that are more fun than the standard fill out the questionnaire including; packaging, positioning, virtual shopping, in home trials, and mobile surveys.

The packaging and positioning surveys are about a new products package design and how the product is described to a customer. You pick which package design you like the best, and the description that you find is the most helpful.

The virtual shopping lets you browse different products and you choose which ones you would "buy".

With in home trials they send you a new product to try out. Then you fill out a survey. Mobile surveys are surveys you take over your cell phone.

If you like watching movie trailers and commercials you will enjoy taking surveys for Greenfield Online. After you watch a movie trailer they will ask you what your favorite part was and why you liked or disliked the trailer.

I like this site because most of their surveys are about movies and commercials. These surveys are fun and easy to take. It is actually pretty cool seeing trailers before they are released.

Global Test Market is a pretty basic market research site. Their surveys are about many topics, and they are looking for panelists from around the world. You earn MarketPoints for each survey you take. Once you've earned 1000 MarketPoints you can redeem your money. They will mail you a check in your currency.

This site is probably one of the highest paying per survey. From Global Test Market I've gotten surveys for $5.00 up to $20.00, but I don't receive as many survey opportunities as other sites.

I am not a member of Ciao Surveys, but I included them in my list because they are recruiting people who live in the UK and Australia. Since most market research companies that I have listed so far are only looking for people who live in the USA or Canada I thought I would include a site that is only looking for panelists who live in UK and Australia.

Although technically myLot is not a market research company, and you don't take paid surveys with this site. Instead you discuss topics with other members in a discussion board and you earn money for each post you make.

I like myLot, because you can a couple of bucks a day by posting your opinions you can also refer other people and earn 25% of what they make. As of today I have referred around 50 people and am averaging about $0.75 a day just from their postings. More information about myLot.
