Opinion Place Survey Panel

Opinion Place is an online survey site which pays you to participate in surveys. You can choose to be rewarded for giving your opinion in several ways such as Amazon gift cards, paypal cash, AAdvantage miles, or if you have an AOL account you can use your earnings to pay for AOL services. The typical survey pays between $1.50 and $5.00. Occasionally higher rewards are offered for longer surveys. You are always told in advance how much the compensation for completing the survey will be.

Here are a couple of my payment proofs from Opinion Place



In their FAQ section it states that payments will be posted in 3-4 weeks. My payments have arrived with in a week though.

Over all I really enjoy this survey site..my only complaint is that you are only aloud to take a certain number of surveys a week.

International Survey Sites

I think one of the best ways to earn extra money online is by taking paid surveys. There are a lot of companies available to choose from if you live in the US, UK, or Canada but if you don't it can sometimes be a bit tricky to find a reputable survey company to earn money with. Here is a list of resources and sites for those interested in taking free online surveys for money but don't happen to live in the US, UK, or Canada.

1. InternetPaidSurveys.com - provides a list of sites that allow international members to join for free..also contains some reviews of survey sites.

2. MySurvey123.com - I really like this site. It has a large free list of US and International survey companies. The forums on MySurvey123 are also a great place to learn about some high paying survey opportunities.

3. WhichSurveys.com - Another site that has a free database listing international paid survey sites.

4. SurveySavvy.com - A survey site that claims to accept member from all countries. I really like SurveySavvy it has a great referral program. You earn $1 for every survey someone you refer completes as well as a $1 for each survey one of their referrals completes.


Remember to research a site before joining. Googling the site name will often provide you with sites that link to either positive or negative reviews of survey sites. SurveyPolice.com is a great resource for anyone that takes paid surveys online and is often a good place to start when researching a survey site.

InstantCashSweepstakes.com

InstantCashSweepstakes.com is a pretty unique survey site. You answer a quick 3 question survey and are awarded entry tickets into their weekly $250 cash prize drawing or you win small cash amounts for the survey. Once you have reached $2 you can cash out via paypal.

You can also invite your friends to join InstantCashSweepstakes.com. The more friends you can get to join the quicker you will earn and the more chances you will have at the weekly $250 giveaway because the site matches 100% of what your friends earn..in cash and tickets.

InstantCashSweepstakes.com is a member of a site called Get Satisfaction which is an independent third party service where businesses small and large have the opportunity to openly, honestly and transparently face their customers, provide customer support and face the tough questions. They have a lot of positive reviews and seem to pay rather fast.

InstantCashSweepstakes.com is currently only open to members that live in the US.

Survey Strategy - Free survey database

Survey Strategy is a completely FREE online survey database. They provide you with the newest and highest paying survey offers from over 300 market research companies.

I love free databases such as Survey Strategy because they have already done the work for you. You don't have to spend hours searching for the best companies to take surveys with. A database is a handy tool for those just starting out with paid online survey opportunities.

To get started with Survey Strategy you will need to register for a FREE membership. After you've filled out their membership form you will then be directed to the demographics form. They use this information to match you with the best and highest paying survey offers. After the demographics form you will go through 3 more steps that consist of promotional offers. Only select these if you're interested. Finally, remember to check your email (if it's not in your inbox check your spam folder) to activate your free membership. Once your account is activated you will have full access to the hundreds of survey companies they have listed.


Survey Strategy - No risk. Lots of reward.

Ipsos Survey Panel

The Ipsos Survey Panel is a paying survey site that awards it's members with points and sweepstakes entry's for completing surveys. Points can be exchanged for gift cards from popular merchants or for merchandise available on their site. Each time you complete a survey you are invited to play the "Poll Predictor Game". Every time you play, you will win draw chances into great prizes like Laptops, Spa Retreats, HD TV's and more. Members are also entered in other i-Say contests and sweepstakes, the $5000 quarterly sweepstakes and the VIP Car Give-away. For each friend that you refer and then successfully signs up with Ipsos you'll earn another entry into the $5000 quarterly sweepstakes.

I really enjoy this survey panel. I've had the opportunity to test a few products with them. The only downside is I wish they would send me more surveys. But I suppose that would be a common complaint for all survey sites. After all more surveys = more money.

Mindfield Online Paid me

On June 11th I requested payment from Mindfield Online, I received payment on June 18th. Not bad. Some survey companies can take up to 6 weeks to send out a requested payment. The other thing that I like is that they have a paypal option. Most survey companies only send out check payments.




MindField Online is owned and operated by McMillion Research and has been in business for over 30 years. To become a member and start earning from surveys with Mindfield Online all you have to do is sign up and activate you account through an email they will send you.

If you sign up and enjoy the site refer your friends and family. Mindfield Online currently pays $1 per referral.

MyPoints and SurveyHead payment proofs

Eleven days ago I cashed in my MyPoints points for a $50 Wal-Mart gift card. The card arrived on Monday.

In case you don't know MyPoints is a reward program that gives you points for reading e-mails, shopping online, taking surveys, doing web searches and completing a variety of other activities.

I also wanted to mention that on Friday I received payment from SurveyHead. SurveyHead is an online site which pays you to take surveys. When you sign up you receive a $5 sign up bonus. Cash out is $25 through paypal or an online Amazon certificate, you choose.

Online Surveys - A great way to earn extra income.

Taking online surveys is a great way to earn extra money. On average a survey will be approximately 20 minutes long and pay anywhere from $1-$5.Remember that is just an average, payments for surveys can vary widely. Occasionally when you take an online survey other earning opportunities will be presented to you. Sometimes you will be asked to test a product. Not only will you score a cool new product to try but you'll also be compensated for completing a survey about the product. Another opportunity that sometimes presents itself is a chance to participate in an online focus group. Last week I participated in a 60 minute online focus group for Survey Savvy and earned $20. The week prior I participated in a 40 minute focus group for Survey Spot and was compensated $25.



To maximize your survey earnings, sign up with several survey sites to increase your chance of getting survey invitations. When invited to a survey respond to the invitation promptly, quotas are sometimes filled or met rather quickly. Keep your survey profiles up to date this is how your eligibility for surveys is partially determined.

Avoid Internet survey scams. Do not pay to join survey panels or to have access to a database of survey sites. Before joining any site check it out. I recommend Survey Police they have a comprehensive list of survey sites that have been reviewed by others.

If you're new to taking surveys online here are a couple of sites I am personally a member of.

Survey Savvy
Opinion Outpost
Survey Spot

Do your research

Before signing up for a program on the internet to earn extra money or income I recommend doing some research on it first. Whether you are about to sign up for a PTR like Hits4Pay or DealsNCash a PTC like ClixSense or a survey site such as Survey Savvy I recommend googling the sites..you will easily find blogs or forums where people are discussing the sites and the success they have had at them. Usually, when researching a site I look for several posts that have positive comments and mention members actually being paid by the company. Research is important you don't want to waste your time on a site with a bad reputation..especially one with a bad rep for not paying its members.

Below I will post some links to a couple of sites I use to research the survey sites I am a member of. I will also include a blog or two that I enjoy reading that has tips on making money online

MySurvey123 great site that lists different survey sites..includes reviews of the sites as well as forums.

Survey Police another awesome sites..helps you identify survey site scams as well as those that are legitimate..I also suggest reading the forums on this site.

Paid Opps blog I read this blog every day. Tori (the lady that writes this blog) lists tons of ways you can make money from the comfort of your home with no fees..as well as having some money saving tips..also a great blog for people wanting to learn how to make money from blogging in general or even freelance writing.
