ALT-6 Online Survey Sites that Pay
Surveys are a great way of earning some extra cash in your spare time. Perfect for stay at home mums, students, and for those who love voicing there opinions and filling in questionnaires.
I have been carrying out surveys for over 9months having researched on the internet, reading reviews and finding out what the best sites were. I started to register myself to various companies and before I knew it I had registered with over 50 different sites. Gradually, I began to sieve my way through them and discarded those that were time wasting and annoying.
Currently I am registered with 45 survey sites and receive over 10 emails per day inviting me to participate in a survey. In order to keep track of these websites, I set up an excel spreadsheet and listed every website, my username, password, how many surveys I have received and how many points I have accumulated every month. This has been a good way to organize myself and to keep track of which companies are working for me and those that are not. This has allowed me to see at a glance how much money I am earning (or accumulating).
Even though you may receive invites to participate, you may not always qualify to complete them. Most surveys will ask you a few screener questions and then tell you immediately that you do not qualify to do the survey. Some will still reward you for the time..others will not.
I wouldn't call this a get rich quick' scheme and it certainly will not be earning you a full time living no matter what some websites say. I have never received a survey offering me more than a 5 reward but the type and number of surveys you receive will depend on your demographic details.
My top 10 survey websites are:
1. Globaltestmarket on average I receive 5-10 surveys per week. You earn marketpoints (MP) which you accumulate until you reach 1000MP. (5 US cents is equivalent to 1MP) This can be redeemed and they will send you a cheque which can take up to 6weeks to receive.
2. Lightspeed Consumer Panel a great site offering Lightspeed Points which can be redeemed for cash (payment through paypal), vouchers or merchandise. On average they offer 110 lightspeed points (equivalent to 1) and I often receive about 5-10 surveys every month.
3. youGov you are invited to surveys that pay anything from 50p to 3. They have also introduced a daily survey which will give you entry to a prize draw. Once your account has reached 50 you can request a cheque payment. They pay you 1 just for registering and also pay you for introducing friends and family to the site.
4. Valued Opinions I often receive 1-2 surveys a months which offer 1-2 for every completed survey. Once your account has reached 10, you will be rewarded with a gift voucher.
5. Your Say Pays you can earn up to 2 for a completed survey. Once your account reaches 20, you can request a bank transfer. The amount of surveys can vary. I sometimes receive 3-4 per month or none at all.
6. Its Your View you get points for every survey you complete. Once you receive 50points, you can request 50 cheque. The number of surveys varies from month to month.
7. Toluna this site used to be known as Test & Vote. There are many ways of accumulating points with Toluna. You can fill in surveys, answer sponsored polls, invite friends and write reviews. You can redeem your points for some amazing prizes including gift vouchers.
8. ipsosinteractive (IAP) earn points 10-200 for every survey and still be rewarded for those that you do not qualify for. Redeem your points once you have collected 2000 for gift vouchers. I often receive 3-4every month with IAP.
9. Clear Voice Surveys I often receive 1-2 surveys per month and you can earn points even if you do not qualify for the survey. The points can be redeemed for vouchers like Amazon.
10. My Survey this was previously known as TNS. For every survey you earn points which can be converted into Nectar points
There are many others that I have personal experiences with and receive invites to.Some include:

These survey sites won't make you rich but certainly is worth to build up your points and redeem for cash or vouchers in time for a special occasion or Christmas.
